FEWER, BUT BETTER, BABIES
EQUALITY, Not Quantity" Say Women
of Chauncey Depew Club of
Des Moines

Special to The Herald
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 9.-The
women members of the Chauncey De-
pew club of Des Moines believe in race
suicide, and are willing that mankind
should know it.
After an animated session yesterday
afternoon it was unanimously agreed
that the sentiment of the club upon this
much mooted scheme should be hence
forth expressed in this motto:
Quality rather than quantity; fewer,
but better babies"
The subject for the Afternoon dis
cussion was us the Woman's Club
Movement Responsible for Race Sui
cide?"
Nearly every speaker took the affirm
alive side, and argued it's justification,
Mrs. George w. Ogilvie occupied the
chair, and was heartily applauded when
she said:
"As women have begun to be edu-
Gated they begin to think more carefully
in regard to children. They want more
means for education and they know
they cannot do as well for many as
they can for one or two"
Mrs. Ogilvie likened children to
blooded stock, and declared that if peo-
pie were as careful in the rearing and
development of their progeny as some
of the stock raisers were of their prize
animals, there would be a speedy up
lifting of the human race.

OF the department who we're at their
studies In various rooms leaped at the
sound OF the warning bell and within
I'VE seconds after the first alarm, every
stairway was guarded by cadets, who
watched the lines carefully to see that
the students Kept moving as rapidly os
possible.
Fire fighters were stationed at win
dows and at doorways to prevent con-
fusion and trouble and others manned
the hose lines and prepared to send
building.
In the meantime, without the slight
est sign of confusion, the boys and
girls passed quickly down the stairs
and out through the various exits to
the campus. Within fifty-flve seconds
from the first alarm, every pupil was
out of the building and the boys were
taking the hose lines to the roof to
fight an imaginary fire there.
The drill was a complete success and
the boys Will now practice regularly.

FIRE BRIGADE
HOLDS DRILL
POLYTECHNIC BOYS GIVE AN
EXHIBITION
Empty Big High School Building and
Are Ready to Fight Flames
In Less Than a
Minute

Led by their valiant captain, George
Meyers, twenty-five youths of the
Polytechnic high school, composing the
volunteer fire brigade Of that institu.
ton, yesterday clearly manifested the
efficiency of their corps in case OF
necessary hurried exit at the institu-
ton by holding a fire drill over some
imaginary blaze.
The building was emptled within one
minute of the first alarm of fire and
the pupils congregated on the campus
and looked on while the fire fighters
swarmed up the ladders to the roof
and in heroic style sent heavy stream
of water dashing and sizzling across
the roof OF the auditorium.
From the standpoint of members of
the fire department the lads have their
fire drill down to perfection and with
the cool headed lads and lassies to as
slst them it is doubtful whether the
Polytechnic school will ever fall be-
fore the rayenous nav of some con-
6agratiOn.

A DIFFERENCE
IN LUNGS

In the Edinburgh Uni.
versity three human lungs lie
side by side. One is Of an
Eskimo and is snow white.
In life, this would be ruddy
with rich blood. Another is
that of a coal-miner and is
black. The other is of a town
dweller and is a dirty slate
gray, as are the lungs Of most
city residents. That's why
consumption thrives in cities.
One reason why SCOTS
Emulsion does so much to
keep down consumption is
because it helps to keep the
lungs clean and supplies
them with rich, red blood. 1t
makes the lungs germ-re-
sisting. If the body is run
down and health is at a low
ebb SCOTS Emulsion will
build it up quickly and per-
manently.

UNDREAMT OF REALIZED
IN RECENT RACES
MARVELLOUS Possibilities OF
SPEED WAGONS
At Ten Years of Age the Auto Is
Capable of Two Miles Minute.
Future Consequences Mean a Rev.
olution of Traffic

For the first time since man has been
on earth man has covered two miles in
one minute. Two men have done this
Fred H. Marriott, in a Stanley steam
car, and Victor Demogoot, in a OAR
racq gasoline car both as the starters
in the two mile minute race at the
Ormond tournament, having accom-
plished the feat, and Demogoot hav-
ing won the race in IS AS seconds.
Such speed is astounding. Such Won
derful performances by automobiles
means a good deal more than merely
startling sporting occurrences, as they
are all too commonly construed to be.
Perhaps two miles a minute in an au-
tomobile on Ormond beach benefits So
ciety little now. 1t furnishes food for
general discussion and some daily
newspaper comment and as sporting
event it becomes a matter of history.
In future consequence, however, ii
means the revolution of traffic in n
greater and more wonderful extent
than many. even motor enthusiasts,
have contemplated
The automobile Is but ten yeads old
and on a track beach it goes two miles
minute. After decades of develop
ment of speed monsters to run on level
rails the railway train has not been
able to do as well.
The fact that a vehicle of new type,
with a practical development of only
one decade, is able to accomplish such
exceptional speed, shows plainly that
even though this vehicle may be, in it's
present form, a racing freak Of little
practical usefulness, it possesses an
inherent principle which is of sufficient
consequence to turn the trend of traf-
fc into field Of undreamed posi-
bilities.
An electric railway car on an expert
mental road, whose building and equip
ment costs hundreds of thousands of
dollars, makes one mile at but one-fifth
second better time than that made by
a little steam dingy running loose on
Ormond beach-and the fact is touted
the wide world over, magazine articles
exploit it and books are published to
eXplain 1t.
