MORE BABIES,
THEME OF

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The
new book that Mrs. Josephine
Dodge Daskam Bacon has writ
ten, I'm the Border Country" has
caused a great stir among wom-
ans suffrage advocates, as well
as revealing an interesting chap
ter in the life of the famous au-
thoress.
The book is message to
American women, Mrs. Bacon
says. She feels competent to
write of the subject in the init
mate style she has chosen, for
she is the mother of three chill
dren-a very happy mother
and she abandoned her work as
writer of stories to devote her
self to her family. This cost her
$4,000 per year, money which
flowed into her lap from the
publishers of her fascinating
stories.
Mrs. Bacon, in the book, made
one statement which especially
stirred the suffragets. 1t was
this:
mo woman living will ever do
a great work who could not have
borne great children, and if she
can bear great children she can
do no other great work."
In an interview with the CORE
spondent of this newspaper, Mrs.
Bacon, wife of Selden Bacon, an
attorney, told of her motive in
writing the new book, and said:
Il am for having babies. And
I'm particularly in favor of twins.
Home and the cradle-side is the
place for woman"
Don't you believe in careers?"
was asked.
mo. Outside of the home,
women can't do things as we'll as
men do them. The big things of
the world are all to be done by
men,"
What is left for women?"
""To' make the men. In my
story the Bee-woman says to a
woman artist: Go back and let
men make the pictures. Do you
make the men,"
Haven't women ever done big
things in the world?"
None of them except the wom-
en- who brought into the world and
trained such men as Washington
and Lincoln. The biggest thing
the suffragets can point to is that
one picture, The Horse Fair by
Rosa Bonheur.
why, women haven't even
learned how to manage their
homes. They used to wrap their
babies up in fold after fold of I'M
sanitary wool until a man invent
ed a healthy garment for babies.
Why, even the milk bottle was in
rented by a man. So were curl
ing irons. The best dressmakers
are men.
History proves that women
can do their best in homes. House
hold work is made up of many
little things such as only wom-
ans mind can grasp"

Maybe they are not plentiful

But ! do know that if all the
women in America today were to
begin having babies and making
the boy-babies good men and the
girl-babies good women it would
not be many generations before
this would be a blissful, happy
country"
TsDo you think women ough+
not to work at all outside of th..,
homer"
Indeed, they ought not. And
women are finding it out, too.
This suffraget movement, while it
is all wrong, shows that women
are realizing the mistake they
have made by entering mems
field.
Were going to circle back
pretty soon, l think, to the old
fashioned ideas of motherhood
and womanhood. Vassar girls are
going to study how to be good
mothers and good housewives.
This-co will be spotted with
schools that will teach women
how to run their homes. We've
found out that Greek and Latin
doesn't help us a bit.
For a woman to know a good
beefsteak when she sees it or to
know what to do for a baby's cold
is million times better than to
know how to write the best book
ever written.

do that most of the problems of
mankind will fade ont-the saloon
problem, the divorce problem, all
of them.

breast of woman that the redemp-

never heard the warning, never knew

made public by one of her victims. Not
long ago a marvellous fortune teller
and clairvoyant made herself very
much at home in Boone and proceeded
to play upon the credulity and pocket
books of numbers of people here Her
methods Were apparently as honest as
the day and many are the people whom
she relieved Of not only money but
personal property of more or less val
lie. She first told the fortune of the
applicant and thus aroused a thirst for
more explicit knowledge She told
truths about people which We're really
true and then she would conclude with
IA story Of how there was an inheri-
lance Of money but that how to Sc
cure. it was not wholly plain to her.
She then asked for gold to help her see
more clearly. She insisted that the
gold was not for her to keep but just
to wish upon and then to return to
the owner However, she regularly
failed to return the gold. With few
people she stated that she saw that
they possessed certain article which
she could use in this way. One woman
she told had an old fashioned quilt
which could be used, so this woman
sent to another town for it and handed
it over. OF course she never saw it
again.
The woman left dressmakers' bills of
generous size. altho she always paid
cash for her purchases at the stores.
Very frequently she sent boxes of stuff
out of town to unknown addresses, the
boxes no doubt containing the goods
she secured in town.
Her manner of leaving town was in
deed smooth. She joined a theater
