early difficulties with the language.

Chicago Woman Vigorously

CHICAGO. March 31.-The State as the
first aid TO the stork is the proposition
which Mrs. Frances Norton. one Of Chi
Cages pioneer clubwOmen, strenuousiy
is advocating She has believed for
years that the State owes a duty 10 the
mother. and that as each child is a
prospective citizen its entrance into the
world should be marked by a bounty
from the State which would free the
needy mother from dependence on an
unskilled or unwilling husband ard give
her time TO rear her children.
This proposition Mrs Norton has sug-
gested before, and yesterday she launch
ed a petition at the meeting Of the
Austin WOmans Club. This is TO be
followed by others at the different clubs
and will end with a petition which viii
be sent TO the proper authorities for
consideration
The idea, which is not worked out n

the subject The rich will not have
