FIFTY YOUNG GIRLS ARE DOING

NANCY.

Z NECY, France, Dec. 13-Eighty
young girls from Pont.a. Mousson,
from Gerbevillers. from Nomeny, from
Alsacc and different parts of Lorraine
are passing their exile here in Nancy,
learning domestic economy In a. build
ing IN which the Germans made cheap
soup before the war.
How to live on Is cents a day and
have little something over" is, the es.
sence of the problem the girls have
to solve. In doing It they begin at
the market learning how to buy, then
the value and uses of what they have
bought and how to get the most out
of It.
The work also includes designing,
cutting and sewing. ~
I've owe 1t to the soldiers who are
fighting that when they return to
their destroyed firesldes they will
find that their children have been
neither abandoned nor neglected, but
that during their absence they have
received the training and education
that will enable them to face the
future with courage and confidence"

the charter from going into effect last

the long summer months and again
they have gained another two weeks
respite by the ruling of the court this
forenoon to continue the charter cases
two weeks in order that dispositions

Attorney Lowe says he wants de.

DISCUSSES [ BABIES
This Time it is the scarcit,
of Them That Alarms
The British.

LONDON, Dec 13.-Strikingly con.
Trajectory opinions were expressed at
a recent meeting OF the Royal SAM.
tary Institute concerning whether the
threatened decrease Of babies, as a
result OF the war, should be regarded
as a calamity or a blessing. q
The subject discussed was labelled,
THE National and Social Aspects OF
the Lowered Birth.Rate." Some OF
the speakers demanded that the gov.
eminent should take the matter in
hand and do everything possible to
encourage and popularjze maternity.
Others thought 1t should be stated
they were in a minority-held that
the fewer babies born, for sometime
to come at least. the better It would be
for the country. Two speakers may
be cited as representative OF these di.
,yergent views. ~
Sir John Cockburn urged the need
of greater Inducements to raise the
birth-rate. Maternity, he said, now
involved too heavy a tax on the
poorer classes. He would have the
government provide bonuses on lib.
,eral scale for maternity and make a
substantial reduction in the income
tax for each children born. 1--WE
need" he declared, ito revive the
medieval view which regarded ster.
ility as a curse"
DR.. Dunlop boldly took the Mathu.
sian view. He looked forward, he de.
clared, with cheerfulness, to a further
reduction o fthe birthrate. The en-.
couragement Of parental prudence
among the poor was urgently needed
at the present moment. He foretold
a serious rise in the death rate and
great poverty in the next year or two,
and IL the thoughtful scientific PEG.
pie were so blind that they did not
speak out, 1t would be far better for
many children that they had never
been born. The only hope OF avoid
ing great hardship in the first few
years after the war was by very
sharp fall In the birthrate now.
