Proerom Still inadequate

Washington is constantly i'm
proving" It's measure to cope with
increased dangers OF social disease
resulting from the war, Ray H.
Everett. executive secretary OF the
d. C. Social Hygiene Society, said
yesterday
But We still have long way TO

he added.
Mr.. Everett spoke at the BIZ

Board OF Directors at the Y. M.

Mr.. Everett tited as some OF the
needs 10 combat syphilis and gonor-
rhea an increase In the number of

and treatment OF the diseases.
Consider More Clinics.
Or Henry II HaZen. the Society's
District president. said Washington
health authorities are very seri-
ously considering" the question of
more night clinics.
The board voted commendation OF
the campaign OF The Evening Star
on the need for extending the school
health education program It urged
that such a program include the
teaching OF facts about syphilis and
Ronorrhea along with facts about
other important communicable dis
eases.
Mr.. Everett said that venereal
diseases among American soldiers
and sailors In the present war have
not shown thus far anything like
the alarming increase which ap-
peared among the armed forces at
the beginning Of previous national
emergencies"
States Aid In Program.
He reported that States and COM
munities, responding to a recent
appeal from Secretary of War Stim-
son and Secretary of the Navy
Knox, ARE trying to do their part
In keeping venereal diseases down
and fighting the prostitution racket"
He said the States, with Federal
assistance. spent sl3,000,0 900 to fight
venereal diseases in the last year.
Wherever civilian communities
visited by the men (of the fighting
forces) are informing themselves
about the dangers of syphilis and
gonorrhea, proposing wholesome
recreation, and repressing prostitu-
tion. rates for these diseases are
low" Mr.. Everett said
Wherever communities allow
the racket of prostitution to run
wide open, permit young people to
find their good times in the juke
joints and questionable resorts and
fail TO warn against infection, the
venereal disease rates go up In the
Army camps or the naval bases

Keep SaiIinss Secret

n .HTARY authorities report that it is becoming
wi severe handicap the assembly and embarkatlon
of troops relatives and friends of men in the armed
services to journey ports of departure for last fare
wells.
This is a delicate matter to which army and navy
authorities are reluctant to raise objection.
Nevertheless perfectly obvious that for parents
sweethearts and other wel-meaning people to swarm
into embarkation centers is to obstruct free military
movements situation in which the grim detectives OF
war must have precedence sentiment.
Moreover the military necessity for secrecy OF
movement creates unavoidable disappointments and
hearaches for often than not the contngents in
which loved ones serving have left before visitors
arrive o. for very good must be kept unavai-
able to visitors.
Thus the experience has often been that such
Journeys undertaken with high emotion and sometimes
at high expense fruitess and unnecessarily agra
vate the pain of separation
THE problem can be met only partially by keeping
veil of secrecy embarkations. Inevitably,
some of the troops know of impending departures,
and the thoughtless and careless among them let the
information slip through TO their families
For the good of the troops and families involved,
but primarily for the good of the country and for its
unhampered conduct of the war; forbearance in this
matter must be practiced.
THE American people constantly and most
i nestly asking what MORE they do to win the war.
They are already doing not merely everything re-
quired of them but everything of which they capable
without thought of sacrifice.
Those with sons brothers and sweethearts in the
armed services surely making the highest conribu
ton of all stay-athomes.
But when there is one thing more any American
can do, he must do il willingly and patiently.
And of course, as the military authorities have
pointed out the lone thing more Americans with loved
ones in the service do is to refrain from obsruct
ing vital embarkation ceners however sentiment and
affection may argue against that course. =
These hard things to ask of American parents,
wives and sweethearts, but necessary things But as
all well know, requires many hard and necessary
things, and our American people will not hold back
from any of them.

'Vitamins for Gray Hair
Blasted Again by Doctor
By DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING

MOT long ago in this column l
~ mentioned that there had
been a report~of the discovery
of a new vitamin which would
prevent the graying Of hair.
l said that / had seen some
of the experiments with this
vitamin in a biology laboratory
on gray rats.
/ also said, most emphatically,
that I did not believe its use in
human beings would be attended
with success, that l did not be-
lieve that it would prevent the
craving of hair or restore gray
hair to its original color, and
did not advise anybody to ex-
pertinent with it until further
investigation had been made.
Just to show how impressive
such statements in the press are,
there has not been a day gone
by since then, but that some one
has written me. asking me where
he can obtain the Vitamin which
recommend 10 prevent the
graying of hair.
This is a little discouraging to
a publicist, so I repeat the state
ment.

- much interested by report

Medical Association from DR..

by saying that hair Is an APP

for a protection of the body,

the whole story.
Hair is really kind OF organ

PATRIOTISM in America apparently knows no class,
for Doctor Gallup says in regard to further develop
ments of this bill:
The upper income group which contains the eoun-
trys present income taxpayers, indicates its willingness
by substantial majority to pay extra two weeks
salary, the vote for that group being SO per cent in
favor, q per cent opposed and per cent undecided
THE lower income group, the great bulk of which
Is exempt from income evies also indicates readi
to ake this contribution Of those reached In the
survey nShe lower income group, SO per cent in
favor, SO per cent against and per cent undecided
THERE is "complacency' in those polls.
i And there is politics, either in the heart
of the people in this crucial hour in history.
They willing to make GREAT SACRIFICES
and get down TO hardpan to that great American
system that has given them creature comforts,
more security through fair wage and which has in
spired of the spirit of sereliance and selfcon
dence than any other system in the history of mankind
The next tax bill should be equalized so that ALL
CLASSES pay something DIRECTLY to the winning
of the war
THAT Is DEMOCRACY.
The best politics that Congress play is to obey
the voice of the great majority of the people.
And that voice plainly says:

HIROHITO ARE COUNTED OUT!'

Save That Scrap

A RECENT item in this newspaper quoted the War
- Production Board disclosing that the iron and
steel scrap salvaged last month from only 374 of De-
trots $500 manufacturing plants was sufficient to build
two 35OOOton battleships and 7OOOton heavy cruiser
or in aerial produce about $4,000 oneton bombs
If every Detroit family scrupuously collected its
scrap metal for salvage the total tonnage would be
surprisingly impressive. This salvagng Of domestic
scrap is real patriotic duty
Detroiters should understand that and cooperate
accordingly.

The per sonnel losses when the Pecos went down were reported as two thirds of personnel of both the l angley and Pecos. These two ships were sunk in early March.

Rate Hearing
 Results Given

Washington (P) - The Mar time commission announced an order for the Alaska Steamship company and the Northland Transportation company to reduce basic rates by May l to a fair rate not exceeding a six per cent profit, and substituted twenty per cent surcharge for southeastern Alaska effective April 6, replacing the 45 per cent surcharge existing there.
 The order fixing the profit at six per cent applies to Alaska shipment generally, but the sur charge reduction applies to south eastern only.
 The commission found that the existing 45 per cent sur charge has not been shown as unreasonable on rates for Alaska ports other than in southeastern Alaska. We further find the sur charge unreasonable to the ex tent 1t exceeds 70 per cent on rates to southeastern Alaska ports.

A man about 40 years old en- tered the H. Pinch jewelry store about noon Thursday and pIead- ing that he had no money, ask ed if he could have his glasses fixed. Although the staff was busy, John Leo, clerk, took the glasses and repaired them, talk ing about a half hour for the job During that time another clerk noticed the man handling some watches which had just been un- packed and were on counter. As soon as the man left a check disclosed that one of the watch es was m ssing. H.
