A  large  number  of  States  have  carried  on  campaigns
against  venereal  diseases  and  made  other  efforts  to  in-
hibit the  spread  of  these  diseases  among  the  civilian
population  comparable  to  the  efforts  along  the  same
lines  as  applied  to  the  Army.  In  Oklahoma  they  had  a
"Social  Hygiene  Sunday."  In  New  Jersey  a  law  was
passed  by  the  1918  Legislature  which  considerably  en-
larged the  powers  of  control  of  the  State  Department
of  Health  over  venereal  diseases,  giving  them  the
power  to  isolate  persons  suffering  therefrom.  The
Colorado  council,  co-operating  with  its  State  Board  of
Health,  has  perfected  a  plan  for  the  proper  care  of
tuberculous  soldiers  upon  their  return.  The  whole
movement  few  increased  health  activities  bas  resulted
in  such  encouragement  for  the  appointment  of  full-
time  health  officers  that  it  is  probable  that  few  com-
munities will  fail  to  appoint  such  officers  in  the  near
future.
