In New York State, on and after July 1st, all applicants for a marriage license will be required to present medical certificates. Blood tests of each will be taken and the specimen sent to Albany for examination. Certificates will be issued by the physicians when the reports are returned. In order to be granted a license to marry, a person must be free from syphilis, or, if infected, the disease must be in the non-communicable stage. We are strongly in favor of this New York State regulation. Pennsylvania should have a similar measure.

LURAY GIRLS AND HUSBANDS TO GRADUATE FROM NATIONAL U.
It is a bit unusual that Mozelle Painter and Madge Lee Brown should not have known each other during their childhood days in the little town of Luray, Va., but it is stranger still that they should have become friends after each had married classmates while studying law in National University.
When the two young women enrolled in the law school three years ago they had no definite plans for the future, but on June 17, 1937, Miss Brown was married to Fordyce Ward Kennedy and on March 25, 1938, Miss Painter married Gordon William Crozier.
The two women, with their husbands, will receive their diplomas at commencement exercises Tuesday night in Memorial Continental Hall, after which they will turn their attention to the problem of establishing themselves in their new position.
Both couples plan to practice law, but not together. Assuming they are successful at the bar examination, Mr. Crozier, now employed by Chester M. Wright, Associates, and Mr. Kennedy who is employed at the Navy Yard, will open law offices. Meanwhile, Mrs. Kennedy who works at the Department of Justice and Mrs. Crozier, an employee of the International Association of Machinists—their eyes open to the economic problem incidental to establishing a law practice—will keep their jobs, but they hope to be able to hang out shingles with their husbands later.
Mr. and Mrs. Crozier, who live at 2945 Connecticut Avenue, did not know each other before entering law school and decided to study lay independently. The Kennedys, who live at 1301 Vermont Avenue, had met prior to their school careers, and it was the wife—then Miss Brown—who first decided to study law. Mr. Kennedy went with her when she was enrolling and decided on the spur of the moment that he, too, would spend his evening in classrooms for the next three years.
And now that school is over, the Kennedys and the Croziers are making no predictions, but they hope that the coincidence which has made friends of the “small town” strangers is a good omen for the future.
