B. Parramore, director. This is one of 67 clinics in Florida being op- erated with the aid of the State Board of Health and U. S. Public Health Service funds. | “This circumstance does not mean that there is more syphilis today, it merely indicates that more infected persons are being directed to proper medical care”, Dr. Parramore said. He added that even greater numbers are expected to apply |: - to physicians and clinics for medical attention when it is more ; widely understood that only a physician can sately be relied upon to diagnose and treat. the disease. Those who now resort to quacks or home remedies are discovering that these methods are worthless and harmful and many are turning to reliable sources for assistance. Calling attention to Social Hy- giene Day on February 1, Dr. Parramore said that a principal reason for observing this annual public health event was to en- courage the use of proper medical facilities and to increase the number of infected persons re- ceiving treatment.

SMALL LOSS SAN FRANCISCO.—The Gold- en Gate International exposition got through its run with fire loss amounting to only $300. The only major crime of the fair was an armed robbery in which about $1,000 loot was stolen. Catapults of the cross-bow type were invented by Dionysius, the tryant of ancient Syracuse, in 399 B.C. THE LAST BOAT TO COME IN was Begley Filer’s and the lone fisherman on board was D. D. Vandercook of Chicago. It was not only his first time deep- sea fishing but also the first time he had ever had a rod in_ his hands—and “believe it or not” his |first strike. was a sailfish, which he boated. The fish was a beau- ty, measuring 6 feet 2 inches and weighing 33 pounds. It took him thirty minutes to land the and according to Mr. Vandercook | sail, | it is the most fun he has ever) had. He mounted and shipped to his home in Chicago. He also had two oth- er sail strikes but lost them. However, he did bring in four amberjacks, weighing from twen- ty to thirty pounds. MR. AND MRS.
