Dorothy Dix Says 80
Young People Today Have Same
Sentiment as Parents Did

and youths committed suicide when
cruel parents separated them from
their sweethearts.
Look at the number of boys and
girls who are so much in love that
they can't even wait until they are
grown to get married! Look at the
young men who, for the sake of a
girl, sell themselves into slavery!
They know that they are sacrificing
their futures by burdening them
selves with the support of a family,
but they are willing TO give up every
thing for love.
Look at the girls who love poor
men we'll enough to give up good
homes and good-paying jobs for
them, and spend the balance of
their lives cooking and sewing and
scrubbing and washing and pinch
ing pennies!
Look at the men you know whose
love has been strong enough TO
make them endure patiently with
sickly and neurotic wives year after
year! Look at the women you know
who have loved men well enough to
follow them into strange places and
suffer neglect and faithlessneSs and
poverty and want!
Whatever else has changed, love
hasn't changed, and if there is any
comparison to be instituted between
the way people loved in the past and
the way they love now, it is in favor
Of the present generation, because
it is wiser. 1t knows more of what
it is about when it takes as its
slogan: All for love and the world
we'll lost"

Inadequacy Of Law
Hit as 3Go Free
lin Health Case
Judge Mcmahon DepIores
Courts Lack Of Power
To Isolate Patients

Inadequacy of the law to deal with
persons suffering from conmunlca-
BILE disease was criticized yesterday
by Judge John P. Mcmahon in
Police Court when he suspended i'm
position of sentence against three
persons suffering from pulmonary
tuberculosis and put them on pro-
baton for year under condition
that they go to hospitals for treat
| ment.
The trio, woman and two COL
ored men, agreed to the terms of
| the probation and arrangements
were made Immediately to send the
men to the Glenn Dale Sanitarium
and the woman TO Gallinger Hos
pital
The men, Thomas Mack. 80 of
the 800 block of N street NV, and
John Dean, %, of the 400 block of
o street NV, each was charged
with failure to have a room ex-
clusively for his own use, as re-
quired by law for a person suffer-
ing from tuberculosis
Lack of Court Power Deplored
The woman, Mrs. Mae L. Webb,
At, of the 300 block of Eighth street
NE, was charged with having left
the hospital where she was being
treated before having been dis
charged.
Judge Mcmahon expressed the
view the court should be given the
authority by law TO isolate, segre-
gate or to commit to hospitals for
treatment persons suffering from
communicable diseases.
This opinion likewise was shared
by Assistant Corporation Counsel
Milton D. Norman. who prosecuted
the three defendants, and by Attor-
ney Charles E. Ford, who was ap-
pointed by the court TO defend them.
In commenting on the cases Mr..
Ford declared the present law en-
tirely overlooks the social aspect in
dealing with such cases.
Judge Mcmahon pointed out the
inability of the courts. under the
present law. to follow up such cases
after appearance of the defendants
in court. He also expressed the view
the present way of dealing with
recalcitrant communicable disease
patients, through criminal pro-
cedure, does not constitute a solu-
ton of the problem.
Jail Penalty Provided.
For violations of the law dealinr
with communicable diseases, the
maximum penalty is 80 DAYS in Jail
and 500 fine, and in default of
the latter the person may be given
an additional 800 days in Jail.
Thus. it was pointed out. a person
refusing disqualification or to live
under conditions prescribed for tu-
berculosis patients in the sanitary
code, cannot be made to go to a
hospital, except when ordered there
after having been sent to Jail. And.
a person who pays 500 fine then
could be sent to jail for only 80 DAYS
for violating the law dealing with
communicable disease.
With the present criminal pro-
cedure his only weapon to deal with
tuberculosis patients who cannot be
persuaded to go to hospitals or live
in rooms to themselves. DR.. A. B.
Coulter, director of the Health De-
partment Bureau of tuberculosis,
has announced his intention of re-
sorting to the present court proce-
dure where persuasive methods fail.
Testifying at the trial of the three
yesterday, DR.. Charles P. Cake.
medical director for tuberculosis at
Gallinger Hospital, said each of the
trio was suffering from advanced
tuberculosis and that they were
menace to the public unless proper
ly isolated.

thing as love nowadays? I do not
believe that modern young people
are capable of loving the way men
and women did in the past.
SALLY.
AnsWer-Of course, there is just
as much love in the world now as
there ever was. There is just as
much romance. People are just as
sentimental, for the one thing that
never changes is the human heart.
Undoubtedly love-making is less
picturesque than it used to be. 1t
wears tweed instead of lace ruff1eS
and furbelows. Courtship has been
streamlined, so to speak, but the
man who says: Say, listen. Mary,
how would you like to tie up with
me for keeps" instead of swearing
his devotion on bended knee and
quoting poetry, means just the same
thing as his grandfather did when
he asked his sweetie to do him the
honor of bestowing her heart and
hand upon him. Other times. Other
manners. Other methods of court
ship. To each age its own way of
doing things These are but the
outer trappings of sentiment. and
the good old heart goes on doing
business in the same old way.
The present generations boasts
that it is hard-boiled and sophisti-
Gated, and it is about many things,
but when it comes to love it is as
mushily sentimental as any age
in which lacka daisical maidens pined
away and died of blghted affection
