Health Certificates Demanded Af

Law,” Newly Passed.
HEAVY PENALTY FOR EVASION,
Physicians and Social Workers
Argue That Women Also Should
Be Included.
COSTS 110,II00
MILWAUKEE, Dec 20 On and
after January 1, 1914, men who wish
to marry in this State must present
certificates of health signed by repu
table physician?*. The eugenic law
passed at the last session of the Leg
islature goes Into effect on ihat day,
and not even the cleverest lawyers
have been able to find any way of
avoiding it. It also provides that any
peraon going to another State to mar
ry can not return to Wisconsin with
in s period of one year unless he pre
sent* a physicians certificate. In
tent to defraud Is punishable with
Imprisonment of from one to thirty
v ears.
There baa been much discussion of
the new law' bv physicians, clergy
men and social workers in this State.
Many approve of It, while others as
sert that It will work no good. The
medical profession, however, appears
generally to regard Hie statute with
favor.
Severe Penalties.
The law* provides that any physi
cian issuing a false certificate shall
be deprived of his license to practice,
and any person disclosing the result
of an examination by a physician
shall be charged with a felony, and
upon conviction shall be sentenced
io from cne to five years in the pen
itentiary. The law sets forth that the
cost for medical examination shall be
$3. to be paid by the applicant.
Following are some opinions ex
pressed by leading clergymen and
physicians of Milwaukee:
“The statute/' said Dr. WilllaVn
Becker, a prominent physician, “which
compel* male candidates for matri
mony to present a certificate of phys
ical and mental health would, theo
retically, be conducive to the better
ment of mankind 1f both sexes wore
equally subjected to the law.
Both Should Submit.
“Viewed In the light of a civil con
tract, both parties entering into the
agreement should share equally in all
responsibilities, as well as in all priv
ileges of the same. With the man in
possession of a certified halo, but In
doubt as to the woman's mental and I
physical state, the woman is lowered !
o the plane of a quasi chattel and I
the legal maxim of ‘caveat emptor’ ]
becomes applicable.
"A considerable per cent of women |
bent on marriage are mentally and ,
physically tainted. Is the womnn's !
aptitude for marriage less important
than that of the man?"
This was the opinion of the Rev. H.
' * Beale, of the Congregational
Church:
‘I have grave doubts as to whether
this particular law will be of any
great advantage. The matter is too
vague and the possibility of evasion
too great. Besides, it comes perilous
ly near to the line which separates
individual freedom from social con
trol."
“There is likely to be much adverse
ritielsm of such a law." said Dr.
Nellie Wentworth Cargill, “and I
would not he surprised to hear of its
♦•arly repeal. The man who is clean
will resent a physical examination:
the man who is unclean will evaue the
issue
“The law in itself is a good one and
probably lias the support of the en
tire medical profession, as well as the
hinking people of i*ther professions.
Should Include Women.
“That the law may he changed to
Include women is inevitable. The
woman infected In a previous mar
riage may be a disease carrier and a
disease transmitter without her
knowledge. What men are Ignorant
>f the possibility of them infecting
Secretary Daniels Has Perfect
Miniature of the New York
for Exhibition Purposes.
By JONATHAN WINFIELD.
WASHINGTON, Deo. jn—Ho.,
would you like to have .Santa Claus
bring you a single toy about ten feet
long and two feet wide, valued at
$10,000 ’ How would you like to have
him deliver it to your office and pldTe
it Jn a glass case as an ornament op
posite your desk?
That is what has happened to Sec
retary of the Navy Josephus Dan
iels.
The “toy" is a model of the battle
ship Sc.w York, latest and greatest of
the dreadnoughts which fly the Stars
and Stripes. This model, made with
the utmost care and attention to de
tail, has just been turned out by tin*
Bureau of Construction and Repair of
the Navy Department, und has been
placed \n Secretary Daniels’ oflko to
show visitors what the New York
will look like when she is launched.
Model Cor*% $10,000.
The estimated t of this model is
$10,000. arid w hi t is far from being
utilitarian the Democratic Secretary
of the Navy Justifies its being by say
ing that the general public has a
right to see what its battleships look
like, and that the model will be placed
on genera! exhibition in the halls of
the Navy Department as soon as the
dreadnought enters active service.
Few persons who pass through the
Navy Department realize the im
mense cost of Uncle Sam’s toy ar
mada. made up of all classes of bat
tles hi [is, torpedo boats and subma
rines. Every detail of these models
Is perfect

"One can’t be president of a club, or

In the case of the model of the New'
York, for example, this accuracy is
•arrled to such an extent that the
very gun turrets arc made so that
they can be moved at will, and the
miniatures of the fourteen-inch guns,
fore and aft, can be trained on any
object, just as their immense broth
ers on the big battleship could hit
any object within twelve or fourteen
miles.
Just Like Real Battleship.
The deck of the miniature battle
ship is marked off into sections and
zones, precisely as is the deck of a
battleship. The searchlights are all
properly placed and apparently ready
for instant use. The big skeleton
masts, the distinguishing feature of |
all American ships, are in precisely
the position they will be on board the
real New York, and the rapid-fire
guns are at their exact stations. In
each "crow’s nest" is a miniature “fire
control station." the portion of a bat
tleship which has been aptly desig
nated as the "nerve center" of the
vessel. A modern battleship oan sur
vive the loss of its boilers, It can go
on fighting after half or even more of
Its guns have been shot away, it can
deal death and destruction from a
single turret, but the entire ship is
practically helpless If the two fire con
trol stations (one in each skeleton
mast) are disabled.
It is by the use of this mechanism,
resembling nothing so much as a
telescope placed horizontally, that the
range finders are enabled to tell the
exact distance of the enemy’s ships.
This is the toy which the Govern
mental Santa Claus donated to Sec
retary Daniels. Navy Department of
ficials assure me that “one can not
turn out a model for less than $10,-
00 0.”
The Secretary of the Navy must
have a model of the New York;
therefore he spends $10,000 for an of
fice ornament, when he indignantly
declined to buy a rug which cost
about $1,000.
