Woman Alters Her Name of 27 Letters ROCKHILL IS I ha# be* I i>a in ter*: •n years MILWAUKEE, D*( 20—On and after January 1, 1014. men who wish to marry in this State must present certificates of health signed by repu table physicians. The eugenic law passed at the laat session of the Leg islature goes into effect on that day. and not even the cleverest lawyers have been able to find any way of avoiding It. It also provides that any person going to another State to mar ry can not return to Wisconsin with in a period of one year unless he pre sents a physicians certificate. In tent to defraud is punishable with imprisonment of from one to thirty years. There lias been much discussion of the new law by physicians, clergy men and social workers In this Staff* Many approve of it, while others as- • *ert tha; it will work no good. The medical profession, however, appears generally to regard the 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 to from one 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. William Becker, a prominent physician, “which compels 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 if both sexes were equally subjected to the law.

With the man Ir. possession ,i certified halo, but In doubt ns to the woman s mental and j physical state, the woman Is lowered i to the plane of a quasi chattel and the legal maxim of “'•caveat emptor* becomes applicable. "A considerable per cent of women bent on marriage are mentally an physically tainted. Is the woman's aptitude for marriage less important than that of the man?” This was the opinion of the Rev. H. J <' 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 j too great. Besides, it come® perilous ly near to the line which separates Individual freedom from social con trol" "There is likely to be much adverse criticism of such a law," said Dr. Nellie Wentworth Cargill, "and I would not be surprised to hear of its early repeal. The man who is clean will resent a physical examination, the man who is unclean will evade the Issue "The law In itself Is a good one and probably has the support of the en tire medical profession, as well as the thinking people of other professions "That the law may be changed ti include women is inevitable. The woman infected in a previous mar riage may be a disease carrier and o disease transmitter without her knowledge What men are ignorant of the possibility of them infecting their mates*’ "It will not be objected to by men of clean lives, nor by parents of mar riageable daughters.” The i at from $25.000 tc "I was about tc for my daughter Mrs. Hartley to-d something odd a Then I remember sometimes covering up finished or half llnished pictures with white.
