Anna Steese Richardson Gets
Up Most of Literature on
the Subject and Attends to
Its Distribution as Well.
"Better Babies and Their Care"
Her Text Book for Mothers.
She Also Fills Position of
Adviser to Thousands.
Bv FLORENCE E. YODER.

The Better Babies Movement,
which has extended all oper the
civilized world and some of the
world which is thought of as being
uncipilized, depends largely for its
existence and Development upon
literature, and the dissemination of
that literature.
Anna SteeSe Richardson, chair
man of the department of child
hygiene, of the National Congress
|of Mothers and Parent-Teachers
Associations, which met in Wash
ington recently, not only writes the
greater part of this literature, but
personally attends to its proper dis
tribution. She is a poman of vide
newspaper experience, a rpriter for
magazines, a playwright and G
mother. Her experience in the last
named capacity, coupled Nth her
ability as writer, has enabled her
capably to fill the position of ad-
wiser to the thousands of mothers
who are in touch NTH the Better
Babies Increment.
"Better Babies and Their Care,"I
a volume just published, is her text
book for mothers. 1t combines all
of the pirtues of modern medicine
with the best of the old fashioned
methods of caring for children, and
is an innovation in itself. And it
puts the blame where it belongs.
"The lam does not recognize in
digestion in the family baby as a
divorce cause-but non-suppon, in
fidelity, and desetion on the pant
of the husband can often be traced !
directly to the Mailing of one or
several babies"
Really School for Mothers.
although 1t is called in the name
Of the babies the real secret down at
the bottom Of the whole thing is
that 1t is a school for the education
of the mother. But instead of be-
ginning with the mother. which
would have been a very difficult
thing to DO. We have begun with he
baby, the finished product. Gradu-
ally we get the mother deeper and
deeper into the question. until We
can go as far back as prenatal in
fuence and still have sympathy and
understanding" This is Mrs. Rich
ardSon's explanation of Better |

the mothers"
While the Mothers Congress was
in session here, 1t was TO Mrs. Rich
ardson that most OF the delegates |
went for information for arranging
contests to be carried on in their
home districts. There was something
infinitely pathetic in tho manner in
which they dOgged her footsteps and
begged for sample sheets, promises
for lectures, and information in gen

Better Babies Book Different.
Everything about the Better Babies
Book is different from what has ever
been written before. A few excerpts
will demonstrate this fast For in
stance, Mrs. Richardson says:
"A sickly baby loa Is the husband
and father with harassing expenses.
The man often seeks in more
pleasant companionship relief from
the unsatisfactory conditions exist
ing in his own home. The wife con-
siders her husband unreasonable and
dishonOrable.--W she docs not
realize Is that the baby would not be
sickiy II the mother knew her job
OF motherhood as well as the father
knows his trade Of breadwinuing!'
Some of the literature given out
ing. and states the meaning OF the
movement attractively and concise
ly. The following Is a sample
which illustrates the methods:
Babies Coming Back Into Style.
For a good many years babies
have not been receiving the atten-
ton they deserve. We have been
reading about pets like lap dogs,
Angora cats. and trained monkeys.
We have heard tnat women OF fash
ion, who set the pace for other
women TO follow, have been going
in for all sorts OF recordS-gOlf,
Tennis. swimming, mountain climb
ing. bridge, etc. But nobody has
been talking much about making a
record In raising healthy babies.
Then. suddenly, people discovered
thai neglecting babies was a bad
thing for a nation. Social workers
began to organize mothers clubs in
the cOngested districts OF the cities
for the purpose of interesting
mothers in the proper care OF their
babies. Then along came Mrs. John
try's recognized social leaders, with
and training of rich children In
the suburbs of richest New York a
little woman started a school Of
mOthcrCraft What was the result?
Mother and baby came back into
style, and now everybody is talk
ing about better babies.

Jefferson City, August o.
Here follows the first of a series
Of articles which will give ar
guments both for and against the
measures that will appear on the
Constitutional Ballot at the No
vember election. The voter de-
string to vote knowingly should
carefully preserve this article anC
watch for each succeeding arti-
Gle. The arguments given below
were prepared by proponents and
opponents of the measure. The
only purpose of the State Depart.
ment in giving these arguments
is to furnish information to the
voter, and the Secretary of State
is in no way responsible for as
sertions made on either side Of
any subject discussed. The
measures wall appear in the same
order as they will be found on
the Constitutional Ballot, and well
be correspondingly so numbered.
The reasons given why Amend
ment No. l should be adopted are
as follows:
Amendment No. l, or the amt

poses three changes in the mi
tiative and Referendum. LIST,
most important, like the New
Ohio Constitution, it forbids
submission by Initiative Petition
of another Election for Statewide
Single Tax (and to prevent its
evasion by the adoption of Single
Tax and exemption of Personally
from taxation in some City and
thereby unjustly imposing all
taxes on Realty therein and lur-
ing the Money of the State to
that locality. This Amendment
also forbids the use of State mi
tiatiye Petitions to authorize
Local option in Taxation, or to
repeal these Anti Single Tax Pro
visions. The mere agitation of
Single Tax is damaging, and this
Amendment justly forbids a
Few Agitators using the small
percentage Of voters required on

by majority of 42l 400 votes) on

be harassed with same PROPOSE
tion by Initiative for ) years.
If the vote and sentiment .iusti-
flies, Legislature may resubmit
before 8 years. Bird, it pro-
vides hat commences Of sig
natures to petitions shall be
passed on by county courts. The
Amendment will not interfere
with submission of any tax
question by Legislature, and will
not prevent the reform or sub
mission of any tax questions,
such as University, Road or
other Tax questions (other than
Single Tax by Legislature or
by Initiative. 1t will end Single

timent for Legislature to sub

tive and Referendum. 1t was
submitted by vote of q to 3 in
State Senate and SO to "a in
House. It is backed by "Mis-
souri, Anti Single Tax League"
and should be supported by all
true friends of InitiStive and
Referendum, and opponents Of
Single Tax.
The reasons given by the OPP
ponents of No. l against its
adoptions are as follows:
This Amendment is called by
its advocates the Anti1Single Tax
Amendment. This is entirely
misleading, because the Anti-Sin-
gle Tax provision is the smallest
part of it. The amendment
goes so much further that it
practically destroys the Initia-
tive and Referendum, the great
est weapon Of the people against
corruption and privilege. 1t does
this:
(1) By denying the right Of
the people ever to change this
provision of the Constitution if
adopted.
(2) BY providing a system Of
filing petitions and verifying sig
natures so filled with jokers in
regard to the time allowed for
that work as to enable a few
negligent county officials to de,
feat petitions signed by thous-
ands OF voters.
(3) By preventing any de-
feated proposition from being re-
mitted for five years.
az By preventing the use of
the Initiative for any change
whatever in our tax system.
(5) BY giving the Legislature
power to re-enact a law rejected
by the people through the Ref
erendum.
1t is absurd to offer the Single
Tax as a reason for favoring this
sweeping amendment, because we
are in no danger from a measure
which is buried under a $4,000
majority.
Every believer in free govern
newt should vote against this in
sid.ous attack on the peoples
power.

ENDORSE SUFFRAGE
CHICAGO MEETING
The National Federation of Wom.
: ems Clubs Vote On Taboo
Subject

Chicago. June 13.-The principle OF
Woman's suffrage was endorsed here
today by the General Federation of
Women's Clubs after a twenty years
night by the suffragists to break down
the tederation's constitutional bar on
political and religious subjects. The
motion was made by Mrs. E. G. Dennis
ton, OF San Francisco. chairman OF
the resolutions committee. There were
seconds from all over the house.
When the question was put there was
chorus of ayes but scattered mega
tives were plainly heard.
The resolution follows:
Whereas. the question of political
equality OF men and women Is today a
vital problem under discussion
throughout the civilized world.
Resolved. that the General Fedora
ticn of Women's Clubs give the cause
OF political equality its legal support
by recording Its earnest belief in tho
principle of political equality regard
less of sex" -.
Scarcely had the convention favored
the principle Of femal suffrage when
news was brought that the Illinois
Supreme court had upheld the State
law giving women the right to vote for
statutory officers.
+ Opinions of the women differed as
to the effect of the endorsement OF
equal suffrage.
Mrs. Lourine Pratt Immen, OF Grand
Rapids. Mich, said the suffragists were
so determined to attact some sort Of
recognition that there was no chance
OF defeating them.
