ion says that you must mix love
with science in these day if you
wish to get married in most Of the
states of the Unon. In the old
days lovers simply went to The
clerk, got the license, were mar
ried and began life together,
reared a family, and took a place
in society. But now the states
are saying, "see your doctor" to
e if you are physically fit for
marriage and if your possible
children will come into the world
with an even break towards not
being blind, infirmed in youth and
a constant charge against some
body's p~ocketbook.
Here is what the law says. Your
doctor must give you a blood test
to show you are disturbed by po-
tential venereal disease. After
the test is certified, blanks filled
out, and the State Department
through your physician says you
r. all right for marriage, your
doctor vii give you a certificaticn
to the Marriage Bureau, then
comes the license and you may
live happily forever afterward".
What if you decide to go to an
other state to marry so as to a.
void the law. Lovers may find it
necessary to go some distance for
twenty-five states says "SEE
YOUR DOCTOR" first. These
states stretching almost across
the continent calls the law PRE-
MARITAL TEST. After this test
the contracting parties have time,
ranging from fifteen to forty days
to get married or find themsel-
YES under the compulsion to have
to start the process all over ogain.
The reason for this disturbance
to the love affairs Of the people of
the land is the fearful spread of
venereal disease taking its yearly
toll of over $4,000 babies and in
fecting over 10000 which may be
born alive. The state of the world
today as to nations, is nor and
more requiring physical fitness Of
its citizens to prevent blindness,
invalidism, and a soft" youth life
and a population fit for action in
these days Of "stress and strain.
Venereal diseases have SO filled
insane aylums and institutions
that the NationalMe dical Assoc
iation has found it necessary to
put its resources behind the FAM
lily life Of the people to protect
the youth from destroying itself
in its mad flight to the altar for
purposes of wedlock.

If slang is. as the grammarians
say, living language, the stripped
geared dialogue of today is the live
liest patois since phonetics were in
vented.
The jargon of the finale hopper
days, which the aappers thought
was "keen," is just corn" to the
jitterbugs. theatrical people and
sporting fans of the present.
Do you know what "a call on
the Ameche" is, or what "a sucker
for succotash' means? Well. neither
did Writers Charles Brackett or
Billy Wilder, who are scripting Ball
of Fire" for Samuel Goldwyn. until
they were forced to discover it, and
the reason they were forced to dis
cover it was that the picture re-
wolves around the experiences OF a
professor, played by Gary Cooper,
who is writing chapter on modern
slang for an encyclopedia. His
model of jitterbug and gangster
slang Is Barbara Stanwyck cast as
a strip-tease entertainer.
Costly Process.
Writers Bracket and Wilder dis
covered soon after starting their
script that their slang vocabulary
was completely insufficient, COM
pared with that of any high school
girl. So off they went to replenish
their out-dated slang vocabulary.
Their first stop was Hollywood
High School where they dawdled
over chocolate ice cream sodas with
the students. After an investment
of $3.50, or approximately 10 sodas
they were off to a flying start.
A visit to Hollywood Park race
track added seven good expressions
for their script with only slight

What's a Girl?
Among the interesting contribu-
tions to the American language
they discovered were that "a call
on the Ameche" means telephone
call. DO you dig me?" means "un-

The lads and lassies of today call
a girl anything but girl. They
say dish" mouse" and salad
Give him the Fuller" means give
him the brush" which means to
get rid of some one. "A slight case
