Pension Should be Paid to Mothers
Says Professor in Chicago University

Chicago, April SO.-No more will
the Woodworking, conscientious hus-
band feel Obliged to turn over his
Saturday night pay envelope to his
wife If Prof. Charles Zueblin of the
University of Chicago, has his way.
Not content with delving into the
problems of probationary engage
ments and the general position of
woman in society, Prof. zueblin has
tackled the menace of race suicide
and the question of married wom-
ans property rights, grouped them
together, and reached a Joint solu-
ton satisfactory to himself.
His solution was presented yester-
day morning in an address before
the Society for Ethical Culture in
Handel hall. It consists of a system
of pensions for motherhood. The
plan, to which, according to the ed
bNatoi, oONACby III AlhCiltd oOOHcl UT
later will be driven, contemplates the
payment to every mother of an in
come graded not according to her
husbands salary. but according to
the number of her children.
Same Sum for Rich or Poor.

Prof. Zueblin, "and should be the
same for every woman. rich or poor

that were hidden in Broker Dement'S
bed at the Manhattan club. What
has become of the money Douglass

The trustees who talked yesterday
said that while he was of the opin-
ion that much of this had been lost
in speculation, he felt sure that the
pair had a sum tucked away sonie-
where.

branch of the government would at
tend to this, but that would be a
mere matter of detail.
Il think we shall be driven to pen
sion motherhood. unless, somehow,
some other great change takes place
in the economic status of the wife
and mother" he said. Society will
have to do it. At first the idea of a
pension is repungant, but It is en-
Itirely logical. and it does seem to me
possible to give the mother an in

shall give her her right-an indie
pendent economical position in So
