RACE SUICIDE LAID TO CLUBS
Ono Woman in six,oon becomes a
Mother After Joining.

Mother After Joining.
Oga Louise Cadieh, a young Ohio
woman has turned on her sex who be
n1 to clubs and written dreadful
things which she de6es club women to
deny. She pictures the club woman
as q destroyer Of the home In the gen
uine meaning Of the word, q woman
who commits a race suicide and en-
courages other women to do likewise.
The average number Of children to
married members Of the General Fed
eration Of Womens clubs, she declares,
Is two, while the average number Cf
children that blessed The mothers of
these same women three and one
half.
THE average age of the member
ship Of the women's clubs in the coun-
try Is thirty-three years The average
age of the youngest children of the
married members Is eleven years. A
careful Investigation OF the member.
ship Of women's clubs shows that n
lv n married ome In ii tteen he.
comes a mother after she has allied
herself with women's clubs, only one
IN fo%rtythree during a period OF eight
years has become the mot,"er of two
children after her alliance with the
WOmen's clubs"
The college bred woman is put down
as selfish. The author next presents
the following statistics to show the
bearing Of the subject Of race suicide
IN the modern church:
With As, 9l5 Methodist mothers the
average number Of children was 3.2l8.
With 26. 234 Episcopal mothers the
average number Of children was Q g.
IL.
With AZ, 1926 Catholic mothers the
average number of children was 8 3 I.
With 81, 1913 Presbyterian m others
the average number Of children was
81 g..
With 20, 247 Congregational moth
ers the average number Of children
was Q 8 IL.
With 31,628 Baptist mothers the
average number Of children was 3 Il
10.
All the mothers referred to, the au-
thor declares, have been married from
ten to fifteen years.
hembers Of the General Federation
OF Women's Clubs have gathered sta.
tistics to refute the charges Of race
suicide by Grover Cleveland. Miss
