w^|y the piper? The good
citizens of iamelin Town, you
remember, bred a wandering
musiciijj j charm away their
rats. Bu. these pests had
keen driv, out) the penurious
and stupit burghers refused to
settle their ,jjj. So the children
paid. For, p the Piper again
played his n,gic tunes, awray
they danced. ut into i Never
Never Land ft rn whim there
was no return.
Syphilis, the Grat Kil er, fur
nishes no bequiling musi for his
victims, but again it is tl ■ child
ren who oftener pay. A in the
medieval days of the Pie Piper,
they suffer for the ignora ce and
mistakes of their parens. And
this situation is the more pathet
ic beoaus, in about mn ct^es out
of ten, their suffering couii have
been foreseen ar.d preverted.
If an expectant mother has sy
philis and is untreated, a syphil
itic child will be born in nine
cases out of ten. Today, however,
thousands of these mothers are
given routing biood tests in clin
ics and maternal hygiene centers.
Then, if the tiny spiral-shaped
germs are found in their system,
medical treatment is immediately
started and continued during the
prenatal period.
When an infected mother is
treated early in the nine months
period (at least before the fifth
month) and this treatment is giv
en regularly until time for the
birth arrives, the chances are nine
to one that the baby will be
born free from syphilis. Tus doc
tors and clinics can save the lives
of children and build sound bod
ies for a happier future if only
they are given a chance. And
they will be given this chance
when the public is freed from the
shackles of taboo prudery and ig
norance.
Authorities often have called at
tention to the fact that syphilis
directs its most malignant blows
at childhood and youth.
Just one more brief statistical
statement will illustrate this
point. Of the more than 500,000
new cases of syphilis every year
in -.he United States, the maj
ority of them occur in youth, that
is the 15 to 29 year age group.
These are the potential fathers
and mothers of the nation.
The number of children born
with the disease is legion. And
i most oi .nese cnnaren infected at
birth could have been given the

birthright of healthy bodies if
only their mothers had received
the needed few months of medical
treatment.
An expectant mother should
have a blood test as soon as she
knows she is pregnant. Doctor
John H. Stokes’ advice to her is
as follows: “Have a blood test
whether your doctor or anyone
else thinks you need it or not!”
One out of every twelve preg
nant women examined in fifteen
clinics in various American cities
had syphilis, which is communi
cable from mother to the unborn
child. With suitable treatment
early in pregnancy, 95 percent of
these pregnancies would end in
the birth of babies free from any
evidence of lurking disease.
Speaking on the prevention of
congenital syphilis. Doctor Walter
Clarke, director of New York
City’s widespread venereal dis
ease control program says “This
constitutes at once a triumph of
medical science, and a challenge
to all medical and social agen
cies caring for women and child
ren. The triumph ronsists in the
saving of 95 out of 100 infants
threatened by congenital syphilis.
The chalenge consists in the op
nostic and therapetic measures to
portunity to apply modern diag
every pregnant, syphilitic wo
man. Thus the least priviledged,
unborn child is given an oppor
tunity for life and health.
GIVE YOUR LOCAL
MERCHANT A SWIFT
KICK IN THE PANTS
Who pays the most taxes?
Who makes possible our fine
fire department?
Who is the largest contributor
to the Fourth of July, to the
Fair and every other worthy ob
ject.
YOUR LOCAL MERCHANT'
He is always at your beck and
call.
The kids get the measles. Mon
ey is scarce.
Your local merchant carries
you along.
Other things are needed—more
playgrounds, a swimming pool,
the church needs repairs, distress
calls come in and a thousand and
one community needs—and al
ways on hand is the local mer
chant.
Times improve. You get a little
money. A fly-by-night itinerant
merchant with a “fire sale” "pick
up stock” or a smooth-talking and
glib mail order bird flits to skim
the cream.
What do you do?
What should you do?
Let the transient play you for
a sucker?
Or do you decide to stand by
the man who "eased your bur
den” in time of need; the man
who is making YOUR TOWN a
real HOME TOWN; who stands
behind every sale who makes al
terations when asked, and allows
you to return goods which are
not satisfactory?
What do you think you ought
to do?
Should the local merchant be
left holding the sack?
And the pity of it is that some 1
of those who pound him on the
back for contributions the year
’round are the first to give orders
to the fiy-by-night or in between
steamer guys, even though they
may still be owing the looal mer
chant.
Is that right?
Is that the way to build up a
town?
Mr. CITIZEN, the answer is up
to YOU!
Don’t be a sizzor-bill.

“Not so good; she’s had quinsy.”

Weather Today
(U S. Weather Bureau)
Cloudy and unsettled weather
prevailed generally over Alaska
this morning with showers re
ported over portions of eastern,
central and southeastern Alaska.
Cloudy weather also obtains in
western Canada and some thun
derstorms were reported in that
section last night.
Barometric pressure continues
high over Alaska and southward
with the center plotted about 600
miles south of the Gulf of Alas
ka. This pressure distribution will
likely be attended by cloudy and
unsettled weather for Nome and
vicinity with probably showers
tonight and Friday with little
change in temperature.
The lowest Nome temperature
iast night was 42 and the high
est yesterday 58.
In the 13 states requiring auto
mobile brake inspection, motor
traffic deaths were reduced six
percent last year, compared with
one percent in the other 35 states.
Electrical experts have devel
oped apparatus that picks up
current variations and later re
roduces them, demonstrating the
theory that memory is an electri
cal process.
PLUGGING THE SOURCE
Judge J. M. Braude of the Chi
cago boys' court declares that the
“three G’s”—gin, gas and girls
—are bringing more erring young
sters into his court these days
than ever before.
More important, he announces,
that hereafter, when juveniles
are brought in for driving while
under the influence of liquor, he
will proceed against the tavern
owners and saloon keepers who
have been selling them booze.
No one can fail to wish him
success in this campaign, or to
hope that he deals out the stifT
est penalties the law provides. It
is impossible to think of any ex
cuse for the man who sells liq
uor to a minor. A joint where
such sales take place should be
closed permanetly, in short order.
It is about the worst kind of pub
lie nuisance that can possibly ex
