cent of the income on each ma
chine.

Alaska Syphilis
Rate Is Lower
Alaskans will be interested in
in results of the blood tests made
on the first 2327 selectees in
Alaska, and compiled by the Ter
ritorial Department of Health.
The syphilis rate per
thousand for the first 1,000,000
selectees in 44 states was 45.2,
the rate in Alaska was only
22.85. This includes 1766 whites,
391 natives and 170 of other
races not given, for a total of
2327 as of April 1, 1942.
This very important informa
tion belies the past generally
accepted concept that syphilis
was more than unusually pre
valent in Alaska, the department
said. This also makes it urgent
that Alaskans examine their own
communities relative to fore
stalling a probable increase in
this disease through postitution.
