^Vhen the colored boy* who are groin* to camp Saturday gathered at the armory last night for a public reception which was held in their honor ttoey were greeted by Old Glory flying the flag staff. The flag is one the Ttv|bone presented to the armory severaJ days ago when this paper was i afcked to take up a public subscription lor the purpose.

Colored citizens who gathered on occasion of the public reception last night adopted the following resolutions:

The appropriateness of the American flag on all public buildings is apparent, especially in these stirring times when #bur selected men are going forth to I combat a foreign foe. i The armory has been without a fleg i Tmti! The Tribune placed there the one which floats over us. We, the colored citizens of Terre Haute and Vigo county, assembled for public reception to our 192 youth* going forth to sustain i the glory of these colors, have th" good fortune to form the first public gather-

ing under the flag, and we wish to express our sentiments for The Tribune's irift

Our being the first to assemble under the flag is mere accident, but the manner in which these boys will sustain the traditions of Old Glory on the European battle fields will be historical fact. We know that they will write history in the same manner their race has always written history in this country. We send The Tribune this expression of our appreciation.

PUBLIC HEALTH MEETING HELD AT CITY HALL

Continued From Page One,

of venereal diseases in training camps under government control is now less thaoi 1 per cent. More than 7 per cent of the enlisted men from Indiana were venereal patients upon their enlistment. Therefore it is plain that the efficiency of the army depends upon the efficiency at home and in civilian life. "To illustrate the efficiency of the training camp, let me state this known fact. Just before sailing to Europe many thousands of men are granted furloughs so they might see their loved ones again before going over. After spending this short furlough at home, seven out of each hundred of the men return to camp infected with some venereal disease. If it were possible to publish a casualty list of persons having venereal diseases, the biggest protest against the disease ever heard would be raised, and thousands of persons would ask that the government take drastic steps to stamp it out forever. The government is calling upon the civilian life to reduce the per cent to that standard maintained in the army and navy, and to keep the standard at that point. Of course, the disease will never he stamped out entirely it is a communicable disease, but we can reduce the percentage from 7 to 1 per cent, and still be in keeping with the government control standard. We have coped successfully with yellow fever and smallpox, and we can fight successfully against venereal disease*.

Biggest Fight Cxtant.

"The army and navy has laid down plans for the elimination of the evil, and those plans have been passed upon by the war department at Washington, and they have started out to accomplish an elimination. Terre Haute is in the fight to stamp out venereal diseases, and it is a fight which recognizes no state lines, in fact, it is the biggest fight this side of the Atlantic ocean, and we have promised to cut down that 7 per cent to the 1 per cent army standard. "When physicians start reporting all cases of such diseases, then we will know where to center our fight. For the first time In the history of humanity the social evil is being brought into the^great white light of publicity, and it is a well known fact that evil does not thrive very long.in the light. Kvil is usually the most thriving in the darlc General Pershing has passed ont the word of the havoc wrought by venereal diseases and has entered a plea that they be stamped out. While it is not known generally, at one time in the,history of Austria, venereal disease threatened to stamp out the whole country, and at one time it became necessary to deal capital punishment to prostitutes to stop the spread of the disease. "Outside of German hnllets, the French, English and Belgiums are fighting against their greatest menace in fighting venereal diseases and the United States does not want to enter that fight, we want to feel a little different. This is a war measure and the federal government is standing squarely behind it to the last difch. They have appropriated $1,000,000 for the state boards of health to fight the diseases and an additional million for the army and navy to establish sanitariums and commitment places for prostitutes. "Prostitutes are women of loW mentality, and such a woman of 40 usually has the mind of a child of ten. To let them run at large and still continue the fight Is like trying to sweep back the waves of the sea with a broom. In the state of Michigan prostitutes are being taken from the ordinary walks of life and being secluded for investigation and treatment. -*ur next step will be to stop all interstate travel of prostitutes, and then we will stop travel inside the various states, and It will eventually become so that a prostitute living in Terre Ha.ute cannot even go to Clinton without the permission of the board of health.

WTien we do that the evil will be confined and easy to fight. Svphilis, the most deadly of all venereal diseases, is t.en thousand times more deadly than leprosy, and 26 per cent of the cases of insanity in Indiana insane asyhims

due to that disease. Forty per cent of the afflicted in the state blind asylums are there on acoount of venereal disease, hereditary in many instances.

Shunning the Facta.

"Now I am going to make a startling revelation that only a physician is in a position to make. Twenty-five per cent of the young married women who go to the hospitals for an operation for "honeymoon aprendicitis' within two or three months after being married, really go there for an operation for a venereal disease given to them by their husbands, and the ultimate result Is «, childless marriage. We have built a great Chinese wall a*bout veneral diseases and have buried our heads like an ostrich in the sand. But it is now high time that we extract our h^ads from the sands and 1«t this evil come to the light, as I have said before evil thrives best In the darkness. "This is not a moral or a political fight, it is a fight to increase the efficiency of our man and womanhood, and permit us to give to Burope the best we have in the great fight for world democracy. Terre Haute will probably be asked to establish and maintain a public cilnio for the treatment of venereal diseases. I do not know but that the Rose IMspensary could be used in connection with the duties of the clinic. Other cities no larger than Terre Haute have public

clinics and in those cities the decrease in the percentage of venereal diseases has been cut down materially. The government will stand behind the establishment of a clinic and stay with it until it is well started on its duties."

Following the talk given by Capt. King the proposed ordinance was read to the members of the council and copies of the ordinance were placed in the hands of the audience, and it was requested that questions be asked in everything that was not clear. The ordinance provides that all physicians who are called upon to treat for venereal diseases make a report of such cases to the state board of health, and that any person other than a physician who makes diagnosis whether treatment is administered or not, make a like report giving the name and address of the patient and a definition of the disease.

It also provides that all cases of venereal disease shall come under the control of the city board of health and that power to quarantine such as in the case of small pox or other contagious diseases be given the board of health. It provides that persons who have been quarantined shall not leave the area to which they have been confined without the permission of the board of health.

It provides that no posters or advertisements calling attention to any cure for diseases of this sort be posted in any public place, and makes the owner liable for any such announcements or advertisements as are permitted to remain in such public places.

It provides that no person affected with a venereal disease shall work in any building occupied or used for the production of food, or shall have anything to do with the transportation of such food.

A fine of from ten to fifty dollars, or a prison sentence of ninety days shall be inflicted upon any person violating any clause of the proposed ordinance. Both fine and sentence may be imposed at the Jurisdiction of the court. The ordinance was referred to the health and morals committee, and will be voted upon at the next meeting providing the committee returns a favorable report.

Woe For the Thirsty

And what's a thirsty man to do? Firstly his beer is taken away, eliminated. skidooed, made to vamoose, as it were.

Then along comes a good Samaritan who invents the "dry," a fairly good substitute, although lacking the "authority" of the real thing and life once more appears worth living.

But for the thirsty one there's now another kill-joy abroad in the land. William Roberts, 3i: South Fifth street, complained to the police Thursday that he had found ground glass In a drink served at Punkhouser's place, 1223 Wabash avenue. The police are investigating this and similar reports from a tiier places

At The Movies

The American..

Madame Nazimova. the Russian actress, who is known to patrons of the regulation theater through her impersonations of Ibsen heroines and followers of vaudeville throueh her dramatic sketches, t»ie most notable of which was "War Brides." and to movie fans as the dominant figure in "Kevelation." will be seen at the American today, Friday and Saturday in the second production of the Screen Classics corporation, "Toys of Fate." In this picture Madame Nazimova olavs a dual role, 'that of mother and daughter. First she is seen as the wife of a gypsy chief. She leaves her husband and child to enjoy the luxuries Drovided by a wealthy admirer and commits suicide when he tires of her. As the daughter. Madame Nazimova figures in another romance and almost ends her life for the second time. The poisoned wine which she is about to drink is absorbed by the villain. Thus the gypsy chief is revenered. There is a murder trial which is interrupted by a gun play and much excitement before the final flicker.

Madame Nazimova has some distinguished playprs irt her supporting

EASY WAY TO DUKE FRECKLES VANISH

Freckles are a great joke, but not to the person who has them. They're harmless, so doctors and chemists laugh at them. But there was one chemist who was badly freckled himself. So he kept on experimenting, to penetrate the skin and fade out the rust spots which lodge there.

Finally he found that while danthol tetrate was not good for many things, it was a really wonderful thine for freckles. It is easily applied with the finger tips and is quite readilv absorbed. besides being pleasant, harmless and inexpensive to use.

The same treatment is splendid |or removing tan and other discoloratlOns of the skin. And it is truly surprising how promptly it does the work. Anv leading druggist can furnish danthol tetrate. An ounce of it will be enouah Iu meet cases.—Advertisement*

cast, Including Charles Bryant, wh was in both the vaudeville and screen production of "War Brides": l'»odson Mitchell, E. J. Connelly and Frank Currier, who have played important Darts In notable stage productions, ami Irving Cummings. who is better known to film followers, Mr. Cumminsrs appeared in person at the Grand a few years ago. He was one of the first players ever engaged by Metro, belnn a player in its initial picture. "The Three of Us." Mr. Cumminers has long list of screen successes to hi.« credit, including "The Diamond From the Sky." "Rasputin, the Black Monk." and "The Whip."

Orphrum.

Marguerite Clark, whose name above the door spells prosperity for the Orpheum, will be the drawinsr card at that theater for the next three davs. Miss Clark will be seen in a Paramount screen version of "Prunella." which will be remembered as one of her stage successes. A story of "love in a Dutch garden," as its authors. Granville Barker and Laurence Housman called it. the picture is even more beautiful than the stage version and under the expert direction of Maurice Tourneur. has become a most unusual production. The cast includes Jules Raucourt. who recently appeared in support of Pauline Frederick "Ia Tosca." as the Pierrot who falls in love with Prunella and abducts her from the prim home of her aunts, only to desert her later. How he finds that after all he cannot live without her and returns to her old home in the hope that she -too will come, is skillfully and charminely shown in this new Marguerite Clark Paramount picture.

Besides Mr. Raucourt. as the Pierrot, the cast supporting Marguerite Clark in "Prunella" will include Harrv Leoni as his servant. Scaramel: Arthur Kennedy as the gardener's bojy. and many other popular screen players.

Princess.

"The Pride of New York or. Chasintr the Kaiser." is the title of the William Fox photoplay at the Princess todav In this film George Walsh shows what an energetic American youth can do in the ranks of the new armv. and h, shows also how hard an industrious young fellow can work and enlov it George does some hair-raisiner stunts that will thrill even an iron worker who does dangerous stunts himself.

The picture was directed bv R. A Walsh. George's brother, who made such big pictures as "The Honor ,Svstem." "The Conqueror.'' and "Be traved." .His battle scenes in "The Pride of New York" are certain^ thrillers.
