Lately so many great daily journals have dared call syphilis and gonorrhea by their right names that University of Illinois Daily Illini Editor John Mabley fortnight ago saw no reason why the fight against social disease should not be carried forward by the college papers.

Sulfanilamide, a dye introduced to U. S. pharmacologists last year under the trade names "Prontosil" and "Prontylin," has been found effective in blood poisoning, gonorrhea, childbed fever, erysipelas, cerebrospinal meningitis and other bacterial diseases (TIME, Dec. 28, et seq.).

Several other States have bills of the same purport in their legislatures. Last week the young editors of the genteel Ladies' Home Journal, Mr. & Mrs. Bruce Gould, published a syphilis article by Paul de Kruif & Dr. Parran...
