With Miss Strachan,
They Hope Public
Opinion and Law
Will Stine Efforts
of the Birth Con-
troll Committee to
Amend Statute.
By Lucy Hufaker.

IF THE advocates OF birth control go
to the Legislature to secure the re-
pealing of the present laws, they
will find at least two opponents, heads
Of powerful organizations, ready TO
fight them to finish. They are Mrs.
Arthur NJ. Dodge, of the National Asso-
citation Opposed to Woman Suffrage,
and Anthony Comstock, of the Society
for the Prevention Of Vice.
Mrs. Dodge and Mr.. Comstock, when
I asked them for interviews in regard
to this vital matter, which has been
brought into the discussion Of the day
by the announcement Of the meeting
to discuss birth control next Wednes-
day at the Academy Of Medicine, were
inclined to treat as OF slight impor-
lance the present agitation. Public
opinion and the law would operate to
keep the people interested from going
far in their propaganda, they said. But
if such should be the case--if the
Committee on Birth Control, recently
organized, should take the matter to
the Legislature-they will 60 also 10
fight for what they believe to be de-
cency and morality.
That any tampering with the present
law in regard to the dissemination OF
information in regard to contraception
(unless the law is made. more rigid
will result in an increase Of immoralty

"By what right does any group OF
people 20 against the laws Of God :?
asked Miss Strachan.
From such statements each one went
on to elaborate the position of those
who are opposed TO the changing Of
the present law in regard to family
limitation. 1t was with reluctance that
they spoke, and only after being urged
each one asserting that the matter
was one too delicate to be talked or
written about. 1t Is only because the
other camp has come out in print so
boldly and because it is ever the duty
Of those who stand for decency to lay
aside personal preferences to oppose

fon wells floating from her smart
white corduroy hat.
For dinner, II one cares TO make a
change for the evening meal. an in
formal costume should be worn. A
simple, dainty white or light colored
net, taffeta or crepe de chine dress is
always appropriate. With these gowns
one would naturally wear light shoes,
as dancing Is apt to be part Of the
evening programme. II the luggage is
limited, one pair Of white satin slip
rers would answer for wear with any
evening costume.
There will be times during the
voyage when one will have neither
time nor energy to dress deliberately
for any meal, and the one object will
be to get out on deck. So the far-see-
ing traveller will supply herself with
one-piece gown, fastening in front,
with belt and collar attached.
For the water trip il is sensible TO
have a soft straw or cloth hat, with
veil attached, the hat fitting well down
over the hair Many a trip on ocean
or lake has been almost spoiled be
cause a. suitable hat was lacking. On
the train, II tie weather be warm and
dusty, one can comfortably keep on

hair, and at the same time be able
to lean back and take ones ease, while
larger, stiff headgear may prove null
sance.
For a water trip, even in summer,
one needs bath robe little heavier
than the filmy silk affairs. Boudoir
caps matching the negligee will be
found useful.

"If this law should be changed, it
would allow quacks and charlatans and
all kinds of physicians who are not
reputable to spread information which
would make for indecency and immo-
rality. Young and innocent girls would
be dragged in the dust. The things
which would follow would be unthpk-
able"
Butt asked when he stopped for
a moment-"the advocates OF birth
control claim that it Is not just that
this information should be withheld
from poor people who cannot afford
to rear large families"
Cant poor people learn self-con-
troll" he hurled back. Cant every
body, whether rich or poor, learn to
control themselves? 1t is scandalous
that any one should urge that the i'm
pulses should be given full rein and
then that the laws of God should be
tempered with"
"Will you attend the meeting next
Wednesday evening? ?" I asked Mr. Com
stock. He refused to answer that ques~
ton, but he said, II will meet this
group or any other any time at the

Mrs. Dodge was much more reluc-
tant to talk than Mr.. Comstock. She
pointed out the fact that ten years ago

she said, In answer to the question as
to whether it was fair to withhold
from poor people the information

Miss Strachan when asked for her
opinions on the subject said:
az have been brought up to believe
that the public discussion Of this sub

an unmarried woman talk about it?
But IL do talk about It at all, want
TO ask this question: By what right
or authority does any group OF people
set itself up to regulate Gods or nat
ure's laws?
"The repeating Of the present law
would bring about two bad efects--the
increase Of immortality and the de-
crease of population. There can be no
doubt that il would lead TO greater
immortality. ! do not mean to say, OF
course, that fear of the consequences
is the only thing which makes people
moral, but it is one thing.
"Race suicide would follow the
spreading Of information on birth con-
troll. All we need do is to look at
France to see the results. There they
are alarmed at the falling of Of the

"As to this talk about large families
let there be large families, l say.
Many Of the worlds greatest men have
come from large and poor families
Napoleon is one Of them. Then there
is orr own Lincoln. His parents would
have been listed as poor and unedu-
Gated. Certainly advocates OF birth
control would have said there should
be no more children in that family.
They would have gone to Mrs. Lincoln
and given her information which would
have deprived the world Of one OF It's
greatest men.
"How can any one tell whether the
eleventh or the thirteenth or the ff-
teenth child may not be the one which

the forces OF evil that they consented
to talk at all, they said. This explana-
ton of their consent to be interviewed
at all they impressed upon me, with
the promise that state-tt in the ar
ticle.
After Mr.. Comstock had asked me
the arresting question as to whether
we were to have homes or brothels, he
went on with list Of other questions:
as the womanhood Of our country
to be dragged into the dust?"
"Are men and women to practise no
self-control ?"
as there to be no semblance OF de-
cency left in life?"
One after another he shot the ques-
tions out. When he asked if "Quacks
are to be given the power over life,"
interrupted to ask if he would call
the men and women physicians who
have come out in favor of birth control
ouacks and charlatans? That ques-
ton he waived aside rs having no
bearing on the subject Then he went
on to say that there is altogether too
much opportunity under the law as 1t
stands to control births.
Reputable physicians can prescribe
ANYTHING which is necessary for their
patients now. The thing which can't
be done is to sell openly articles which

this idea in mind she will be sur
prised and possibly distressed TO see
herself in comparison with the trinity
clad women about her.
There is no place In the world where
worn petticoats, old shoes, sagging
skirts and hats that have ceased to be
smart show their faults so glaringly
as on the promenade deck Of steamer,
in hotel foyers or in Pullman trains
On land when sightseeing there are
charms of nature, shop windows and
beautiful buildings to attract atten-
ton, but on shipboard there are no
such distractions.
On the other hand, tho satisfaction
derived from a good looking steamer
costume, which one can wear on the
ten to fourteen days cruise TO the
Western lands this summer, will be
IN direct proportion TO the value one
sets on the approval of ones fellow
passengers.
For deck wear one should have new
shoes, a spic-and-span tailored suit and
hat. an extra cloth skirt and three
quarter length coat or ulster A good
sweater, white or colored, will be very
serviceable all through the trip. In
getting a general wrap one must be
careful TO have it warm, yet not too
heavy, as 1t will probably have to be
carried about during the summer.
Everything on shipboard is immacu-
lately clean, so that any woVan who
looks well in white can indulge In It.
