nouncement of the plan to bring about
eugenic marriage of a perfect man
and woman, to be selected by the So

cal Review OF Reviews, has evoked a
storm Of criticism, mainly adverse. In

he had received entrants during the
day. and that the task OF selecting the
couple would begin Immediately. lie
also announced that the prize of $1,000
will be surely awarded the couple.
Miss Alberta Hill, prominent suf-
frage worker. and connected with so
cial service work, when asked for her
opinion of the plan, said:
mo nice young woman would enter
into any such agreement Regardless
of how interested she might be I'm the
future OF the race. no self-respecting
woman would lend herself to such an
experiment"
Mrs Marie Baird. one OF the suffrag
cites who marched TO Washington in
General Rosalie Joness army, said:
at is n fino theory, and that ends it.
Miss Perfection might be induced to
marry the composite Mr.. Composite
Achilles-Apollo' on a purely so-called
scientific basis, but what would happen
when Miss Perfection's' soul-mate
came along? Pouf would go the eu-
genie marriage"
