LESS ATTENTION
Paid To Babies Than To Cattle, De-
cIares the Doctor.

Detroit. Mich, May 25.-"If babies
were for sale at so much pound their
proper nutriment would become
question of dollars and cents, and we
would probably be more interested in

College of Medicine recently.
THE man raising stock is very care
full about what he feeds his cattle.
Parents do not raise their children
with the same care.
THE physician. too neglects the
baby. He gives attention to mother

relative weights"

TOLEDO'S GROWTH
Retarded BY Undue Spirit Of L't'sa

Toledo, Ohio, May 25.-That Toledo
people display an undue spirit o. !itl-
CATION is the substance of statement
given out recently by Mayor Whit

tarded the growth and development of
the city, especially in the line of pub
lie improvements. giving the inference
that he regards it a sort of modern
vandalism. The Mayors statement is
based upon an estimate attributed to
meeting of city solicitors in Columbus

cation affecting cities which is passed
upon by the Supreme Court. The
Mayor designates this doubtful

OBJECTION OF co.EDS
To Lectures in Law School That Make
Them Blush Prove Futile.

st. Louis Mo, May 25-After hear
ing the objection of three co-eds
against the discussion of certain mat
ters pertaining to divorces in the lee
lures on domestic relations, the fac
ulty of the ST Louis University Insti-
tute of Law decided it would be far
easier to abolish the o-educational
feature than to eliminate the subjects
that caused the women to blush.
As a result Of this decision the eight
women law students will be the first
and the last to receive training at the
university.
Because of similar reason the CO.
ed system of the Washington Uni
versity Law School was abolished
some time ago here.
