CALM APPROACH

ON PROBLEM OF SYPHILIS URGED

Expert, Here to Address State Group, Gives Data ‘On Disease.

The problem of syphilis must be approached with a scientifically sympathetic attitude, not with either panic or apathy, Dr. Walter Clarke, American Social Hygiené Associa-

tion executive director, said here today. Dr. Clarke, with headquarters in New York City, was here to address the Indiana Social Hygiene Association tonight in the new auditorium at the Indiana State Board of Health. : Dr. Clarke, a member of the national association since 1914, said much of the panic about syphilis grows from a misundérstanding as to the infectiousness of the disease. The disease is not transmitted except by actual bodily contact, he said. It is not transmitted by cups and glasses, knives and forks, bathroom fixtures or door knobs, he said. Discusses Employment Nevertheless, Dr. Clarke advised any woman to have her personal physician examine any candidate for work as a domestic for all communicable diseases, and pointed out that a tubercular could be much more dangerous in the home than a syphilitie.

In the same way, Dr. Clarke said, |

there is no medical evidence that a person with latent syphilis under treatment is a greater industrial risk. Thus, he said, it would be a great mistake for the employer to immediately fire or fail to hire any per=-

. sons discovered to have syphilis,

either because he feels the disease will be inevitably transmitted to other workers, or because he feels the victim would be a bad accident risk. : | In fact, such failures to hire or peremptory firings would do great and unjustified economic harm, not only to the individual but to the community, he added.

Urges Complete Check

Dr. Clarke said that, with such a point of view, the employer ‘would do well to have his employees: tested for all communicable diseases on employment and ‘probably in routine followup checks, and to see that those infected with either syphilis or other venereal diseases take the prescribed treatment until cured.

Mrs. Evans Woollen Jr. is’ the

Indiana Association chairman. Others on . the Board include Mis. Elias C. Atkins, Mrs. Louis H. Haerle, Thomas D. Stevenson, the Rev. Frank S. C. Wicks, Fred E. Shick and Drs. Norman M. Beatty, Verne K. Harvey, George W. Bowman, A. F. Weyerbacher, Frank M. Gastineau, Wendell C. Kelly, Herman G. Morgan, Frank W. Cregor, John R. Brayton and Karl R. Ruddell.

Fingertip Nip Causes Crash

SOUTH BEND, Ind., Feb. 5 (U.

P.).—Richard Davis, 24, of South Bend, was minus a finger tip today and because of it Richard Gordon, 30, also of South Bend, was minus an airplane and in a_ hospital with a broken leg. Mr. Gordon was taking up passenger from the ice at Chains O-Lakes near here yesterday. He was using a pusher-type plane. Mr. Davis started out on one trip with him and, while waving goodby to some friends, his hand moved into the propellor’s path. The propeller severed his fore finger at the first joint. He tapped Mr. Gordon’s shoulder to call his attention to the accident. Mr. Gordon looked around. The plane struck a tree and bounced into a barn. Mr. Gordon went to the hospital, Mr. Davis was unhurt in the crash.

AIRACOBRA OPEN TO FOREIGNERS

Army Releases Newest Ship for Purposes of Negotiations.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 (U. P.). — Government officials said today that the new Bell “Airacobra” pursuit ship, one of the Army’s newest fighting planes, has been released for negotiation purposes for foreign sales. The release was granted by the joint Army and Navy Aeronautical Board which determines whether such releases are contrary to national defense interests.

It was explained that the release

was given only for the purpose of negotiations and not for actual export. The ship, a tri-wheeled monoplane, capable of making 400 miles per hour, has a single liquid-cooled engine, made by Allison in Indianapolis, mounts a 37mm cannon, and carries machine gun armament. In allowing details of the ship to become available for negotiation purposes, the military authorities

excluded the armament and power |

plant which are still held as military secrets.
