ONE IN TEN SOCIAL BURDEN"
TEN PER CENT OF OUR POPULA-
TION A MORAL DRAG ON REST.
Should Be Eliminated Is One of a
Number of Startling Things Heard
bN the Health Congress.

by the Health Congress.
WASHINGTON per cent of
the population of the United States
is inherently defective and is an eco
nomie and moral burden on the other
80 per cent, and should be eliminat-
ed from society, asserted Blocker
Van Wagenon of New York in speak
ing todsy to the fisfteenth Interna-
tional Congress on Hygiene and
Demography. Efforts should be
made to get rid by proper methods
of breeding the human race, he said,
the following classes:
Paupers, feeble-minded, those OF
criminal tendencies, epileptics, in
sane, except acute cases not heredi-
tary; those constitutionally weak,
those redisposed to certain diseases
and those having defective sense or
gans. The method to be adopted to
bring this about, he said was being
studied scientifically.
A resolution declaring that not
only the gratitude of the nation, but
of the world was due to DR.. Prince
A. Morrow, founder of the American
Federation for Sex Hygiene, for his
work in the effort to stamp out the
white slave traffic was adopted by
the congress.
Social Evil Also.
LET the church go out of its com
Portable club-like rooms and out OF
it's miserable self-content and its an
thems and get out into It's work
against the great social evil, said Dr.
Howard A. Kelly Of Johns Hopkins
University in speaking Of the work
ing being done to stamp out this So
cial evil. He said that the problem
should be attacked from all sides
simultaneously. The blame for this
traffic. he added, lies with the people
at large and is due to Indifference
of the public and of the churches
In the fight against this evil, he said,
workers were wanted who would go
into it for life and would pass it on
as a heritage until final victory was
won.
Prof. Maurice A. BigelOw of Co
lumbia University, New York, said
that sex hygiene should be taught in
the schools and that even if an oc-
casional mistake was made by this
method it would do far less harm
than to allow children to get their
information of important sexual mat
ters from improper and impure
sources.
Users of Alcohol.
Users of alcohol are more sub
iect to tuberculosis than others, "
said Dr. Jacques Bertillon, chief OF
the Bureau of Municipal Statistics,
Paris. Every one knows, he explain
ed, that alcohol attacks the liver,
but twice as often it attacks the lungs
and he cited statistics showing that
among men of from 80 to 40 years
of age consumption caused the death
of more than twice as many drinkers

WHITE CROSS LEAGUE
is DOING GREAT WORK

The 1912 annual report of the National
White Cross league, just issued, shows
the organization to have balance sur
plus of $46627. This Is the national or
ganization, the purpose Of which is to
assist and give proper medical aid and
treatment to those suffering from tuber-
culosis who can only partially afford, or
cannot afford at all, such medical care
and nursing. During the last year twen-
ty-two patients have been given sanitor-
ium treatment at total cost of So. .299. .0S.
Thirty-three patients have been cared for
in their homes or with private families
at a total cost of $73926. The philan-
thropic work of the league has extended
from New York to Mexico, and has been
in no way limited to race or creed.
Prompt assistance Is always rendered to
any needy person if found worthy and
II the resources OF the league permit, and
all is done without publicity. President
D. c. Moulding Of the league says In the
report: THE National White Cross
league neither solicits nor accepts contri-
buttons or free will offerings Our method
of raising funds by the sale Of dependable
merchandise, bearing our own seal and
name, we believe to be not only legiti-
mate, but honorable in the highest de-
gree. The first full fiscal year Of our
existence completed June 30, 1912, has
been one of trials crowned with success"
The league has headquarters at sos South
Dearborn street, Chicago.

Against Tinley Home
By the County Board

Persons seeking to drive the Tinley
Rescue home from Its location at South

influence felt at the meeting of the
board of county commissioners, wher

properties being the principal opponents
Efforts to have the State Board OF
Health deny the home license were
made, but failed and the license was
granted.
Commissioners John c. Lynch and A.
C. Harte voted against the resolution
declaring it is not the business of the
county to take up a fight against an
institution that the State Board of Health
has investigated and granted license
Commissioners Best, Elsasser and O'Con-
nor voted for the resolution. Mr.. Elsas.
ser's reason was that Mogy Bernstein
Miss Esther johnson and the associated
charities are. authorities on such mat
ters and they said the home should mol
