Usually the first sign of the disease is sore breaking out, which after time will heal, leav ing a scar In the meantime the germ has quickly gotten into the blood stream and carried to all parts of the body. If syphilis is treated immediately it may be cured through the proper treat ment especially in the early stag es. The proper treatment can on ly be realized through reliable physician. Advertising quack doc tors or medicine companies usual ly only want your money, not your health.
 After a general discussion re- garding the above disease, the meeting adjourned.

 Council Monthly Meeting Held

The regular monthly meeting of the Nome Health Council was called to order by Chairman Henry Miller.
 The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.
 Mrs. Sprenger gave the month ly report for the Public Health Nurse in which she stated that Child Health Conferences which were begun in November were completed in December after four more meetings. Fifty-seven children were examined by Dr. Morcom during that month. The Native children were included Tn cooperation with the Office of Indian Affairs. Diphtheria im- municationS are planned for Jan uary which will give parents an opportunity to have children im- munized who have not had the diphtheria toxoid or who have a positive reaction to the Schlck test.
 MT. Woods reported that he had seen MT Starling who had already prepared a program for the use of the Native gym for the entertainment of the natives. They have their own dances, roll CT skating etc.
 Dr. Morcom reported that Dr. Morley was in town last week again checking on Sanitation and Health Certificates from all stor- es handling food stuffs, restau- rants, beer parlors, beauty slaons etc and found everything in fair ly good order.
 At this time the films on syph lis were shown. Syphilis is a dangerous disease which is very common. It is dangerous because it is catching. It is often passed on from mother to child. If it is neglected it causes miscarriages, stillbirths, diseases of the heart, and arteries, strokes, blindness, deafness, softening of the brain, insanity, paralysis and many other grave and painful condi- tions. Syphilis probably kills more people than any other con tagious disease. A person may catch syphilis by getting these germs into the body. The most common way is through sex re- lations with a person who has the disease. However it is some

 Newsletter
J. J. Eckles, Secretary To the Delegate

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is - Lit tie of the customary feeling Of excitement was in the air, which usually accompanies the opening of sessions of Congress when the third session of the Seventy sixth Congress convened on Jan uary 3. There was no lmpelllng sense of emergency such as has characterized other opening days for some years past but there was definitely an attitude of busi ness-like anticipation on the part of members of both House and Senate at the opportunity to once more work on the advancement of proposed legislation both na- tional and local in scope which has necessarily been inactive since adjournment of the first ses sion on August 5, 1889. Every sort may be expected from Con gress to make up the time lost on such measures during the sec ond session when all Compression al action was limited to neutral ity matters.
 Adding to a number of bills re lating to Alaska on Delegate Di- mond's program which are pend ing before Congressional commit tees, MT. Dimond on January 3 introduced two bills. One of these is ito provide that fines for failure to pay license taxes in Alaska shall be disposed of as provided for the disposition of such taXeS,' as indicated in the quoted title of the measure. En- actment of this bill will mean that fines collected for failure to pay license taxes which, if paid would have been credited to the cities and towns in which they originated will be paid over to the municipalities just as the fines would have been. Example of the pressing need for such legis- lation occurred last year when the court assessed a fine against Wrangell salmon packing com pany in the amount of unpaid taxes totaling more htan $6,000. Under existing law the fine was credited to a court fund instead of to the town of Wrangell as the taxes would have been. The Delegate has a special bill pend ing in Congress to authorize the court to transfer this money to the city treasurer of Wrangell. The bill just introduced is to meet such situation as may occur in the future without the need of special legislation.
 The second bill introduced by the Delegate on the opening day of tht session is one to authorize the Government tO pay $500 tO the heirs of the late Edward Ma her for his services as native policeman at Douglas during the period from November 5, 1889 to November 4, 1890.

Leader Barkley made known that,
while he would have no objection
to the suggestion of Senator Har-
rison, Democrat, of Mississippi that
Finland sell bonds to private sources
in this country to obtain funds for
any purpose, he would not want
to substitute that for the pending
Export Import Bank measure.
At the same time, it was being
indicated at the White House that
the Government would interpose no
objection to the fotation of a pri-
vate bond issue here. President
Roosevelt declined to express any
personal opinion on the subject, but
told his press conference the Fed
eral Government would have MOTH
ing to say one way or the other on
such a proposal.
Some supporters of the Export
Import Bank measure took the po-
sition at the Capitol that the ques-
ton of private sale of Finnish bonds
has no bearing on the pending bill.
Mr.. Jones testimony to the for
eign relations group has not yet
been made public. At its conclusion,
Chairman Pittman made only the
general observation that the loan
administrator made magnificent
witness and pleased the commit
tee members by his frankness.
Sees Program Uninterrupted.
10 hpu,oupr fhot Mr.
Jones gave committee members the
impression that the proposed $780,
600 900 increase in the Export I'M
port loan authorization would not
interfere with President Roosevelt's
budget plan to have the various
Government corporations return to
the Treasury a total OF $70O, 200
of their capital structures as one
means of keeping within the present
public debt limit.
According to some committee
members, Mr.. Jones said the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. which he
supervises along with the Export
Import Bank, is expected to put in
5000, 900 900 toward the $700, ,000, 900
total to the Treasury and Will have
no difficulty in doing so.
May Raise Limit.
There is said to be possibility
the committee may consider lib
eralizing the $30,O00,0O0 limit on
the amount outstanding to one
borrower, but for the purpose OF
making additional credit to China
permissible. China in the past
has obtained credit up to $25 ,000,-
900 and has repaid 100000.
Some members of the Senate who
are sympathetic to Finland are con-
sidering efforts to reduce the total
new bank authorization to $50,000,-
900 to lessen the opportunity for new
loans to South America. This effort
may come when the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee is ready to act, or
on the floor of the Senate later.

Early today, he left the Monte

Elaine was in the restaurant when

Chamberlain Tries
To Involve NeutraIs,
Germans Charge
Implied Invitation to
Use Conveys Seen in
Prime Ministers Speech
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Feb. 1.-Germans con-
tended today that Prime Minister
Chamberlain made another effort In
his speech yesterday to draw other
states into the war against Germany
by what was interpreted as an i'm
piled invitation to neutrals to send
their ships through combat zones
with British conveys.
Mr. Chamberlain said neutrals
increasingly were using conveys be-
cause of the British Nays ability
to protect them.
Authoritative sources said the
effort was on a par with alleged
British attempts to disturb German
relations with the Balkan states.
Anything to cause a spread Of
the war is the British policy" one
commentator said.
Germans held that the sinking Of
neutral vessel which invited dan
ger by sailing in company with Brit
ish war vessels easily could lead to
MISUNDERSTANDING eliminating in
the drawing of the neutral into the
conflict.
Prime Minister Chamberlain's as
SEXTON that neutrals need not fear
that their independence would be
attacked by Britain was ridiculed.
Possibly England will respect
their nominal independence" one
official said because she probably
does not want additional territory
in Europe
But what such independence
would amount to was demonstrated
in the World War, into which Eng
land forced Greece to plunge
against the wishes of King and
people"
An Italian press campaign urging
territorial revision in the Balkans
was regarded in Germany as merely
an effort to keep the revision issue
alive, it was said.
Our impression is that Italy is
not forcing the ISSUE" an official
declared, land has no desire to dis

tiers said, Father, I have to have
some money" he confded to the
audience, "of course, that is the
lousiest line in the play"
At the end of the play, when Mr..
Barrymore came on stage to ac-
knowledge the enthusiastic ap-
plause, a man in Hamlet costume,
his face painted in the white and
black mask of clown, leaped across
the footlights and began babbling to
Mr.. Barrymore about Shakespeare.
Mr.. Barrymore took him by the
neck and escorted him into the
wings. The man, identified as an
unemployed actor, was arrested on
disorderly conduct charge.
The critics were unanimous in
their approval of Mr.. Barrymore's
work
Said Richard Watts, jr., of the
Herald-Tribune: "Yet if Mr.. Barry
more was slightly sedate for a star
of his epic reputation, he was still
the life of the party, carrying his
feeble vehicle with jaunty noncha-
lance and demonstrating for old and
young that, even if he is not the
Barrymore of 1922, he still is among
the giants"
Said Brooks Atkinson of the
Times: Although John Barrymore
is merely clowning in My Dear
Children there is no doubt about
his ability. He still is the most gift
ed actor in this country"
Said Burns Mantle of the Daily
News: The general result was one
of success touched with pity. The
Barrymore comedy sense, which tips
line with laughter and drives a
gesture straight into the funny bone
of any average audience. was often
definitely in evidence. When it was,
the audience was happy. Disap-

Linked with the economic dispute
was the whole question Of re-
shufning the nine-man war cabinet
which some labor and other political
leaders say already is too large for

The economic representative in
the cabinet is Sir John Simon as

Drastic new restrictions which
have been imposed on electricity

were expected before then.
The Osaka district, Japans chief
manufacturing center, still was op-

fifth in five months, because of the
power shortage.
More Restrictions Loom.
Further reductions impended in
the Osaka region, and similar re-
strictions were scheduled for Feb

Numerous factories which re-
quire an uninterrupted flow of elec-
tricity were planning complete shut
downs.
Osaka, a city of 3500,000, had ra-
toned current after a 14-hour total
suspension and still was city of
gloom, with even streetcars operat-
ing on curtailed schedules.
Many electrically operated steel
and iron furnaces had ceased oper-
ations and other large factories were
running on short-hour schedules
with frequent holidays planned.
Although Japan is almost self
sufficient for coal, there was short

insufficient equipment.
