MOTHERS ARE RUINED
Feeble Minded Children Due to Over
work of Mothers

Neu York, Dec. 1.-THE large
number of feeble minded children to-
dax is q direct result of the overwork
and overstrain to which the mothers
are subjected in the factories" This
is the conclusion reached by Dr. Max
SchIapp. head of a bureau which was
established by the New York depart
mel of charities a year ago for the
study of defective children DR..
SchIapp's report of his first years
work shows that he has studied 500
cases and found that in a majority of
cases the mother of the child was
physically and mentally unfit because
she was an Industrial slave
Ten years in industry he said,
ruins a woman for marriage phys
fcaIIy and mentally
Il do not mean that every woman
who works in a factory has defective
children. In some factories the wom-
en- workers have decent conditions and
reasonable hours, but these are few
When a woman stands for hours with
machinery whirling about her, grind
ing her nerves and crushing her vital
inv with insufficient food and rest, she
cannot have normal children They
are nervous and weak, to say the
least and the next generation is
feeble minded
Conditions are worse in America
than in any other country of the
world. The women with children
ought TO be helped by the state There
should be a mothers pension If the
bread winner of a family dies. the
state ought to provide for the widow"

Because rivalry between different teams carried the men along at too stiff pace for such early spring practice. the Philadelphia Nationals, Boston Americans and Pittsburg Ma tionals eaCh played second teams in their own lineup on their own fields yesterday afternoon. There will prob ably be no more series of games played in this city between opposing teams, unless it is just before their departure, and when the men are more ready for stirring contests.
 However, at the three fields yes terday afternoon there were large crowds, and everywhere the fans got a good long run for their money. There was some spring fever cpl demic in the various camps, with the exception of periods at plate, when the heavyweight batsmen seemed to be desirous of wanting to send the fielders on long runs, and the hit ting was hard
