SYPHILIS TEST FOR WORKERS IS URGED

Dr. Walter Clarke, American Social Hygiene: Association director, last night urged Indiana employers to aid the public fight against syphilis by requiring blood tests of employees. He warned, however, that it would be unjust and uneconomic to discharge or fail to hire solely because of the presence of latent syphilis in an employee, if ‘the disease was under treatment. Dr. Clark was addressing the

‘| Indiana Social Hygiene Association y|in the new auditorium of the State

Health Board. He said there is reason to believe that one person of every 20 is infected with the disease.
