LONDON, July 23.-(special Dispatch to
The Bee.)--It would be interesting to hear
y commentary by Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt upon the tenets which are being
preached by Dr.. Alexander Rigby, who
has been delivering addresses through
out the provinces urging married men and
women to limit their families TO the fewest
number of children.
None lie better than few, but the fewer
the better" is the terse manner in which
DR.. Rigby drives home his argument
Before the Preston town council the ply
stefan criticised Colonel Roosevelt very
harshly for urging big families.
His speech was made to council upon the
presentation OF a report, stating that the
towns birth rate was the lowest on
record Thousands OF superfluous children,
who were absolutely useless, were brought
into the world, said DR.. Rigby. and they
we're source Of nuisance and trouble to
many people. The increase Of population
was maintaining itself and even improving,
and It was useless for the town councils
to endeavor to prevent diminution In the
birth rate Formerly epidemics of cholera
and smallpox and wars swept off the SUI
perfluous population, and now there was
not the same necessity for increasing the
number Of births.
- Earl Grey ON Canada.
Earl Grey. whose term of office as gov
ernor general of Canada expires in Novem-
Der, believes that in Canada England has
the greatest Of all it's possessions, but, I'M
like many Canadians with whom 1 have
talked recently. Earl Grey 10 Of the opinion
that Canadians are exceedingly enthusiastic
imDerialists, To bear soma Canadians, who
recently visited England, give their views,
ons would imagine that cenada was Just
about ready to Soike Off the shaclsies OF
Great Britain. More especially is this true
OF the residents OF British Columbia, who
believe that British Columbia is destined
to be a republic at no distant date.
Growth of the DOminiOn.
The increase in the populatlon-4, 900 in
ak yeafs-and the progress of railway CON
struction came in for special comment
Canadians ave more enthusiastic imperial
lists, than you are at home. That is not
realized in England as II should be. You
should see Empire day parade in
Toronto, with 1000 schoolboys in red uni
forms, and then you would understand the
spirit OF the people. Canada is preparing
to build her fleet"

hrs. Garrud, the jiu jjitsu expert Of the
suffragettes, who is teaching the difficult
art Of Japanese wrestling to the women
atf letes of the Women's Freedom league,
Issued general challenge to London police
men to try issues with her at the game OF
wrestling. A number Of policemen responded.
AS Mrs. Garrud stands only a few inches
over four feet, and, as some OF her op-
ponents stood over six feet and weighed
over 300 pounds. it was feared that she
might be hurt. but she only smiled at the
fear OF her friends.
One policeman said; why. you're only
q little dot OF a woman"
well. I'm not exactly giant" admit
ted the suffragette. III you're sure you
aren't afraid OF getting hurt. think I'll
threw y0;;."
Again the big policeman smiled. 1t was
all 30 very. very foolish. His great red
hands played idly about his forty-two-inch
chest, and then in a moment Of vanity he
elenched his right fist. so that the muscles
OF his forearm stood out in heavy Jumps,
Mrs. Garrud is four feet. ten inches in
height and she. too. smiled.
'Tm glad you're not more than 200
pounds" she murmured. The policeman
Immediately became generous. Yes. there
are lots OF fellows Ia the force heavier than
am" he said. In any case I'm too big
for a little woman like you. Why, you
couldn't even hold me-" I'm glad you're
not more than 900 pounds repeated the
gentle suffragette. because the heavier
you are the more I'd hurt you. and /
simply hate TO. you know"
How she Does IL.
Then the struggle commenced As huge
mastiff would bend down upon an insolent
kitten the man swooped on the woman.
First he tried for catch-as-eateh-oan body
hold. but the suffragette eluded his grasp,
Their hands met, and the giant tried 70 pull
her to him, but that was the very las,
thing she intended to allow. Pulling away
from him, she ran lightly backwards. with
the policeman pressing heavily after her.
Desperately he exerted all his strength
striving TO push the woman off her balance
and on the mat. Then. suddenly. the thing
happened. In a flasl. the woman fell flat on
Der back. with the massive policeman
towering above her Up shot one of her
feet to meet his diaphragm Her little
arms strained. and as he pulled against
himself the man lost his balance, swlrled
over her head, turned a somersault In mid
air, and fell heavily on the hack OF his
head. In less than ten seconds the suffra-
gette had thrown the policeman Five mlu-
utes later. when he once more eondescended

again carefully regarded Mrs. Gsrrud, Con-
templatively he scratched his head III

OF these mats the police force would be
one man short at this moment" he said.
THAT fall would have cracked my skull"
Mrs. Garrud threw three other policemen
