Rollins Gilman Speaks.

New Methods in Prize Baby contests
were urged by Rollins Gilman, head
worker of the University Settlement
Society of New York, in addressing the
National Conference on Race Better
nent here today.
''The healthiest or prize-winning ba-
bies," he said, ARE of less immediate
Importance TO the society of tomor-
row than the babies who are unable
through lack of health to win prizes.
The unhealthiest are the ones IN which
we should take most interest.
Honestly, what does it amount to
to find a perfect baby OF what great
Importance per Sc? If the contest is
to consist of finding a physically fit
baby, to single out one and to give
it's parents the proud distinction of
bearing such a prodigy, and incident
ally arousing bad blood in the parents
of the baby who came SO near to VIM
ming hut didn't, then / say let us have
very few contests. AS a social worker
| am more interested in the possibility
of an imperfect baby growing up into
fairly fit physical manhood and wo-
manhood than in searching out a
physically perfect baby who may not
grow up, but above all am / interested
in having perfect or imperfect baby

they remain on some other shores. II
we prevent certain people from COM
ing hither it Is possible that we shu.
the door of hope in their faces; we
blight their spirits.
AS we grow broad in our vision, as
we expand our sympathies so that they
become worldwide in extent, we Will
see that what is needed is a concerted
action by the civilized nations of the
world on the subject of Race Better
ment. World movements are not al
rare today as one hundred years ago;
international conferences are in this
day. indeed, quite common, and it Il
with this belief in the urgency of this
matter, and in the practicability of the
scheme that l offer you this suggestion
to wit:
THAT this conference set in motioy
machinery for the calling together oi
delegates from all the leading nations
of the world for a conference to dis
cuss ways and means by which such
nations, leach acting for itself but fol-
the good OF all, can through govern
mental action, or otherwise, better TIC
race of man from the standpoints n
physical health, mental attainmentt
and moral stamina. This would n
more than Eugenic Congress-, al.
though eugenists would be, it is hoped
as delegates: 1t would be more than
a Health Congress, although doctort
would be in attendance; it would b
more than a Ecumenical Conferences
although spiritual leaders would bt
there; it would be more than Peace
Conference, although peace advocates
would attend 1t would be gather
ing of statesmen, scientists, humani'
tarians, and government officials. al
optimists, with national and interna-
tional barriers knocked down, inter-
ested in the welfare of each because
the welfare of each is inseparable from
the welfare of all.'

These two boys met some four weeks

seen in the State and probably in New

one hand practically useless. while KEEL

which was a heavy handicap to him.

EbbettS Is Still
Trying for Tinker.

New York, Jan. 12.-Notwithstanding
Joe Tinker's intention not to play or
ganized baseball this year as evidenced
by his signing a contract to manage the
Chicago Federal League team, Charles
Fl. Ebbetts of the Brooklyn National
League club announced today that he
would mail Tinker Brooklyn club con-
tract this week.
I'm my opinion said Ebbets, AS far
as our taking legal steps to keep Tinker
from playing with the F'ederals is con-
cerned we should have to wait until he
actually begins to play with the Federals
before applying for an injunction. Until
he does that we shall not know positive
ly that he is not going to come into the
Brooklyn fold.

RACE BETTERMENT
MEETINGS CLOSE.
Principal Topics and Speak
ers at the Final Session at
Battle Creek--Rollins Gil
mans Address---Sugges-
tons from Others.

Battle Greek, Mich, Jan. 12.-Mar-
riage selection, education for race bet
terment, especially along lines of eu-
genies, and the dependent child We're
some of the principal topics of dis
cussion at the closing session tonight
of the National Conference on Race
Betterment Among the speakers were
Prof. Roswell Hill Johnson, the Uni
versity of Pittsburg; Prof. Winfield
Scott Hall of Northwestern Universe
ty and Dr. Gertrude e. Hall of the
State Board of Charities of New York.
Professor Johnson urged the wild
est possible range of acquaintance for
young people, claiming that the school
and church do not offer sufficient ad-
vantages in that respect. He suggest
ed the municipal dance hall as bene-
fetal step in that direction.
School teachers should not shoulder
the responsibility of teaching sex hy-
giene to the young, said Prof. Hall. in
the discussion of education for race
betterment He declared it was i'm
portant, however, that the school
teacher should supplement home
teachings and should assure purity of
atmosphere in school by close super
vision of recreation periods.
1t will be no easy task to improve
the race so there will be fewer to de-
pendent children" said DR.. Gertrude
Hall. The gradual elimination of the
dependent child, however, will be one
of the best indications of superiority
in our national stock and civilization"
This country of ours is big enough
and rich enough so that every family
ought to find room enough to live and
be sure of steady employment at a
living wage.

feet shape for the most important event
of their careers. They called off all the
engagements carded for them and have
undergone the most careful preparation
known to experts and when they face
each other on the 21st there will be no
excuse for either to offer.
The result means a lot to both boys,
for if Kelley makes good by a decisive
victory he has fattering offer to box
in Philadelphia at one of the largest
clubs in the East. On the other hand a
victory is even more important to Young
for a victory for him means that he will
be chosen to meet Matty Baldwin in this
city at the next meeting as Manager
Hanks has an opportunity to secure that
great little lightweight.-Advt.

JAMES OLIVER CURWOOD.
Author of Philip Steele.

If there is anything in the theory
of heredity, it is not surprising that
James Oliver Curwood is the author
of some of the most notable adventure
novels of today. On his fathers side
he is a direct descendant of Captain
Marryat, the author of those immor-
tai tales which three generations have
gloated over.
Mr.. Curwood has made one quarter
of the globe-the vast Canadian
northwest peculiarly his own, and he
knows that mighty wilderness as Kip
ling knows India. Although he is an
American, born in Michigan and edu-
Gated at the State University, he
stands high in the esteem of the Can
adian government, and every year
spends several months in the track
less wastes of the Hudson Bay coun-
try, travelling as far north as the six
tieth degree and entering the Arctic
Circle. He is the only American ever
employed by the Canadian govern
ment as an exploratory and descrip-
