City-Wide Kahn
Tests Available
Bundesen States

Mohammed went to the noun
tain, when he couldn't make the
mountain come to him.
In its relentless fight against
syphilis Chicago is emulating the
prophets grim determination but
reversing his strategy, according
to DR.. Herman N. Bundesen,
president of the Board of Health.
Realizing that financial Difficult
ties, bashful difidence and plain
apathy are holding back thou
sands Of people from consulting
their family physic ans regard
ing possible infection, the Board
of Health has brought the oppor-
tunity for free and confidential
examinations for syphilis into this
and thirty-five other Chicago
metropolitan communities. These
thirty-siX free neighborhood ex-
animation stations, DR.. Bundesen
points out, constitute city-wide
Kahn-test filter to ferret out the
plague as the first and most i'm
portant sep towards its conquest.
Free examination stations are
now operating in this neighbour
hood, one day a week.
The Board Of Health's present
extensive drive through its thir-
ty-six community examination
stations, follows an exploratory
five weeks schedule Of free tests
in twenty-one scattered stations,
which ended March Is. Tabula-
ton of records shows that 10000
Chicagoans have responded to the
boards offer for free blood ex-
animation; eight per cent of those
who have volunteered for the
test are infected, and most Of
them had been previously una
ware Of their affliction.
Speaking of Chicago's "New
Crusade'-4the most formidable
offensive in America against the
age-old human destroy
err, DR.. Budesen said:
'The encouraging public re-
Spouse to our campaign for vol
untary blood tests for syphilis
brought decision to increase the
number of examination stations
and to extend the free offer in
definitely.
"These free and confidential
tests are being given in every
community, so that |
no person in Chicago can have
any reason, or excuse, for failure
know definitely whether he or
she is infected. We trust this
drive will arouse all people of
Chicago to their duty to them
selves, their families, their flu
ture offspring, and society, gen.
orally, to obtain syphilis blood |
tests and examinations from their |
own family physicians, or, if the
fee cannot be afforded, from the
Board Of Health's free neighbour
hood community stations"
The person examined is mott
fed Of the result Of the first test.
If this proves positive, pointing
to the suspicion that the individ-
ual has syphilis, a second Kahn
test is given, along with a COM
plete physical examination, in Or
der to obtain certain diagnosis.
Upon final determination that the
patient is suffering from SYPHILIS,

When 'Porgy and Bess" played
at the Shrine auditorium in Los
Angeles, several members of its
cast were tested for parts in "The
Toy Wife" But the majority of
Negro roles were filled from the
more experienced local colony.
What the Hollywood Negro play
ers hope for is the enlistment for
films Of such actors as Todd Dun
can, the Porgy of "Porgy and
Bess';; the return to this country
Of Paul Robson and signing OF
such outstanding Negro singers
as Marian Anderson. Roland

prestige to their group and give
them Z better chance to make

Fad of the SOS

In the early 1905 m owe
ment for dress reform swept over
the United States, putting new
word into the la n gu ge and

bled that of Turkish women and
consisted Of baggy trousers OF
ankle length with tunic or coat
reaching to the knees.
Research workers Of the Fed

''bloomer" fad soon reached this
state, and that it affected the
costume Of men as well as wom-
en-. Evidence Of this occurs in an
item appearing in Boston news
magazine, Gle a sons Pictorial
Drawing Room Companion, July
26, 1851:
"A La Bloomer-At Mon

eyes, cupped her face in his two
palms. His hands we're trembling.
They were still trembling when he
released her and went into the
bedroom to open the suitcaSes.
Gloria stood quite still where he
had left her, her blue eyes little
puzzled. When Peter came back
a few moments later she was still
standing there. He came up to
her and put one finger under her
chin. He said, grinning:
Don't look like that, Gloria.
There is something frightfully
embarrassing about just having
been married. But we'll get over
it. l imagine" And then his eX-
preston changed utterly. Some
thing came into his face some
thing very young and tender and
completely ardent. He said
huskily: Were going to be
happy, Gloria. Don't you feel
that, too?"
Gloria said, Yes, Peter. feel
that, too"

eyes. With a little groan he
crushed her to him and held her
close and kissed her.

When he put her down, Peter
held her back in his strong, young
arms. His eyes moved over her
face, closely, tenderly, looking for
something he didn't quite find,
and yet, with his heart leaping,
finding something else quite
sweet, entirely responsive. He
said, on a sort of gasp: ooh,
Gloria-I wasn't sure
but I had hoped it would be like
this"
And then he swept her back
against him. He kissed her smooth
shining head and her lips and the
warm curve of her throat. And he
was thinking this was the most
beautiful thing that had ever hap
pened to him. He was thinking,
too: "If she only loves me as I
love her! But she will! She'll
