Chicago, May president Roose-
Welt has done noble work in speaking
against race suicide. but he has been
unjust to American women in placing
the blame upon them. SAID Dr caro-
line Hedger. of the Chicago Womans
club, at the session of the Illinois sixth
district federation of women's clubs at
Oak park. Speaking on Social Hy-
giene. she Remarked:
..Physical disability is to blame for
half of the childless women and nearly
every such case can be blamed to the
past life of the husband. 1t is a fact
that SO per cent of the children who
contract hereditary diseases die before
reaching maturity.
"One-third of the blifaness in Ameri-
ca is due to diseae of this character.
More women come to me to ask why
they can't have children than those
who ask not to have children Woman
