An, impecunious acquaint-
ance of mine literally coerced
me into accompanying him to
a pawnbroker's, old chap. He
desired to obtain a gold watch
at reduced figure, as it were,
and asked the blooming pawn
broker person II his wants
might be gratified. And the
fellow retorted:
Yep. you've struck the
right shove shop, pal. We've
got the finest line of hooked

Better Babies

The march of progress never ends.
The people got the mothers pension law In this
state and as it is being unfolded III operation new
horizons are appearing. This was evidenced yes
terday when after listening to the hearings before
Judge Clifford in the local superior court Dix Row
land one of the authors of the mothers pension law
saw that out of this law may grow a sentiment for
scientific treatment of the subject of procreation.
That something ought to be done to bring about
the ssborning of better babies has been generally
conceded by thoughtful people for some time. But
no one hut the students and philanthropsts and pub
licists paid any attention to the subject.
But the mothers pension law may compel atten-
ton for it is going to make society pay for the mis-
takes in having defective children born. And when
the pocketboo of the is hit they begin to sit
up and take notice.
So out of the mothers pension may come new
movement for law to compel sound babies.
