60, ,OOO Blood Tests
 Taken Since 1886
Plan Aids Eradication of Child Syphilis Marriages,
 Formerly FOredOOmed to Failure, Prevented

tory evidence of syphilis. It is cer-
 tain, MT. Borman said, that the type of marriage formerly foredooEned to failure because of communicable syphilis in one or both parties has been prevented by postponing these marriages to allow time for adequate treatment.
 Recently, the Bureau of Venereal Diseases released a summary of the followup work in 389 cases of syphilis among marriage license ap- plicants which showed that in 184 of these cases the certificates were not signed by the physician. It iS now known that these cases have been placed under treatment to render them infectious and eventually safe to marry. The re- maining POS cases represented per- sons who were under treatment at the time, or who had undergone treatment previously, and whom physicians were willing to certify as in a on-communicable stage of syphilis.
 Directions for obtaining marriage licenses to which applicants must adhere, were described by MT. Bor- man as follows:
 Not more than forty days before the day marriage license is to be issued, the applicant must go to physician licensed to practice in Connecticut and ask that a blood test be made for marriage license purposes. The applicant must in- form the physician of his full baptismal or legal name initials will not do. The blood specimen is then sent to laboratory approved speci- fically for this work by the State Department of Health, and the la boratory results are sent to the physician on private report. Ac- companying this report is a legal document which certifies that the blood test has been made on certain individual on a certain date.
 MT. Borman pointed out that no record of the laboratory findings are made on this public document and a space is provided for the physi- CAdil tO CCAtAy OFV1 AAAo oiSAiuI4C . that the applicant is not infected with syphilis or is in a stage of the disease which may not become communicable. The applicant must also sign this certificate in the physicians presence before it is presented to the local registrar. While the certificate of only one of the parties need be presented when applying for the license, that of the other party must be filed before the license can be issued. Local regis trars are authorized to issue mar riage licenses after five days from the time the blood test certificate was filed. Throughout the period that the law has been in force 1t was stated that there has been no intrusion upon the privacy of the relationship between physician and patient.

BANKERS CONVENE
 SEPTEMBER 25-28
Convention to Be Held in Seattle; Two DiOramas
 Planned

Two dioramas, depicting Seattle, it's harbor and encircling mountain ranges started on 8 nationwide tour today. The elaborate displays de- veloped by the Seattle committee will be presented at over thirty state association meetings and banking conferences throughout the United States and Canada to stimulate in- terest in this years American Bank CTS association convention, Bank ing Progress on Parade" to be held in Seattle on September 25-28.
 The convention committee has ar- ranged for a direct representative in each city at which the diorama is to be presented, through whom illustrated booklets, prepared by the Washington state progress commits son and the Seattle hotel commit tee, will be distributed to delegates at the various meetings.
 The first scheduled stop of the diorama will be the George Wash ingtcn hotel, in Jacksonville, where the annual meeting of the Florida State Bankers association will be held on April 14-15.
 The display will be forwarded di- rect from Jacksonville to Hot Springs, Virginia, to arrive for the spring meeting of the executive council of the American Bankers association on April g to 26. Andrew Price, president of the National Bank of Commerce and chairman of the general convention committee will attend this meeting, at which further plans for Seattle's Banking Progress on Parade" will be formu- lated.
 Evidence of unusual interest in the meeting this fall is indicated by the announcement of Stuart Frazier, chairman of the hotel committee, that advance reservations show a fifty per cent increase over the same date last year. MT. Frazier attrib- uted the increase, in part, to the opportunities which will be provided for bankers to learn about new bank services and sources of revenue, to be featured at the Seattle conyen- tion,

WILT-RESISTANT
 CORN ADVOCATED
Much Disease Expected in Coming Season Warns
 Dr. Singleton

Farmers and others who include
 in their garden were warned to-
 day that bacterial wilt will take a
 heavy toll in cornfield during 1939
 ::nlesS wilt-reSistant varieties are
 planted. Dr. w. R. Singleton of the
 Agricultural Experiment Station at
 New Haven said that mild winter,
 following another mild winter, in-
 dicates increase in the type of flea
 beetle that carries bacterial wilt
 Some losses from the disease were sustained last summer. Weather rec
 ords and other signs point to more
 widespread trouble in the coming season.
 Bacterial wilt was serious threat to corn production in Connecticut ten years ago when Dr. Singleton
 began studying the disease. It af- fleets both field and sweet corn in such way that the stalks and foliage wilt and die regardless of the amount of moisture in the soil. Investigations revealed: That varieties developed in wilt-free areas, such as Maine, New York and Wis., sconsin, are wholly susceptible to wilt in this state; that flea beetles spread the disease which is always prevalent in a year when these pests are numerous; and that certain va- .rieties of corn resist the wilt.
 7 The next step was to develop im- smune hybrids for Connecticut and this has been accomplished to a large extent. Inoculating inbreds with the disease-producing bacteria, Dr. Singleton found a few plants resistant enough to produce ears. Connecticut B was one of the best of these. By using this inbred as one parent in crosses, the plant breeder has developed several hy- sbrids safe for planting in this state. .Morcross C6 13 is the most resistant, shaving proved its immunity for sev- eeral years both in Connecticut and in wilt-prevalent areas farther south. It was entirely free from wilt in 1888 while other corn was injured from 50 to 100 per cent. ! Other resistant hybrids in their order of riping are: Spancross P39. fC4, Marcross C13P39, Whipcross C6.2, Sencross P39 and Golden Cross Bantam. Gemcross C.13, although ? hybrid including C.13, is only par dally resistant. ...

Courtesy Will Be
 MS Middle Name
 During Worlds Fair

New York.-Courtesy will be New York's middle name this summer And if Grover A. Whalen, president of the New York Worlds Fair, 1889 has anything to dO with 1t, courtesy will be its first and last name also Courtesy will be the keynote from the moment the visitor steps out of his train at the Grand Central or Pennsylvania Terminal to the time when the subway guard or Long Island Railroad conductor speed him on the last lap of his journey to the Fair Grounds. Bellhops, redcaps, hotel clerks, taxi drivers-all will be courtesy conscious and, what's more, MT. Whalen hopes to make every New Yorker good will ambassa- dor" this summer.
 Of the 60,OOO,0O0 expected attend ance at the Fair, it is figured that 45, 100000 will register from out of town. No Alphonse and Gaston act is intended, but New York wants to make sure that each and every one of these friendly millions goes away with the definite feeling that he and she had a place i'll the heart of the worlds greatest city.
 Access to the Fair will be easy. Through expresses will be run at regular intervals by the Long Island railroad and the city's two subways. Of, if you decide to go by automo- bile, the oil companies have printed an officially approved map of city and highway routes which will be distributed widely. Arrangements have been made for the convenient parking of 43,0OO cars on the Worlds Fair grounds. This also will be done with courtesy.
 In fact New York plans to make deep, old-fashioned bow for the benefit of the rest of the world this summer.

More will be known in the future Cf the long-range effects of the amendment to the Connecticut mar rtage license law requiring pre- marital blood test for syphilis but it Is now generally agreed, according to Earle K. Borman, assistant di- rector, Bureau of Laboratories, that the use of the path to the altar via the laboratory is beneficial in re- ducing familial and congenital syphilis.
 Since the law first went into effect on January l, 1886, over CO., 600 individuals have been blood tested and approximately one per cent have given suggestive labora-

 Here's a delicious picnic bever- age that everybody likes and that can be indulged in without worry over sleeplessness later on. Use 1 cup decaffeinated coffee, regular grind, for each quart (4 cups) of water. Pour cold water into pot of percolator. Set percolator basket in pot and put coffee in it. Cover. Let percolate slowly and gently 15 to 20 minutes. Pour coffee over cracked ice. Iced coffee may be made by any other metl. od - steep ed, drip or boiled - using the same proportions of coffee and water. Remember that a little longer brewing is necessary to bring out all the rich flavor if you use the pot or percolator methods.
