the General Assembly in time for final
action before Adjournment
CAN GO LONG WAY
WITHOUT SUBMISSION
Lawyer members Of the committee
neUrNc. however, that far-rcachinE
charter reforms can be drafted that
would NOT require submission to the
people. II Is believed that the COM
mittee can recommend almost any
change short OF abolition OF the Coun-
Gil without such plan having to go
I" the voters for approval.
The only plan now before the com
m!ttee is the one presented by Chair
man Jones. which provides for tho abo-
lition of the Administrative Board and
, the Capitalization OF the six major
CITY departments under the immediate
authority and direction OF the Mayor
who is. given wide powers. Such A
scheme. II ia believed, could be ap-
proved by the Council and he put into
effect by act OF Legislature without
having first to secure the approval Of
the electorate
Mr.. Jones's plan is before the COM
mittee merely as a suggestion, and
stands on the same footing with the
other reform schemes that have been
brought to the committees attention
Mr. Jones hns made IL clear that while
il" has confidence in the practicability
or his plan. he is not welded to It..

BABY QUESTION
IN ENGLAND IS
SERIOUS ONE
Wide Divergence of Opinion as
to Whether Birthrate Should
Be Increased.

Correspondence of Associated Press.l
LONDON. Dec. 11-Strikingly
contradictory opinions were expressed
at recent meeting OF the Royal San
itary Institute concerning whether the
threatened decrease OF babies. as a
result Of the war. should be regarded
as calamity or blessing.
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 dc everything possible 20
encourage and popularize maternity.
Others--thought II should be stated
they were in minorlty-held that
the lever babies born, for sometime
10 come at least. the better 1t would
he for the country. Two speakers
may be cited as representative OF
these divergent views.
Sir John Cockburn urged the need
Of greater inducements to raise the
birth-rate. Maternity, he said. now
involved too heavy tax on the poorer
classes. He would have the govern
ment provide houses on liberal
scale for maternity and make sub
stantial reduction in the income tax
for each child born. I'VE need" he
declared. Ito review the medieval
view which regarded sterility as
curse"
DIR. Dunlop boldly took the Mathu-
sian view. He looked forward. he
declared. with cheerfulness, to
further reduction of the birthrate.
The encouragement OF parental
prudence" among the. poor was
urgently needed at the present mo-
ment. He forctold a serious rise In
the death rate and great poverty in
the next year or two. and II the
thoughtful and scientific people were
so blind that they did not speak out.
It would be far better for many chill
dren that they had never been born.
The only hope of avoiding great hard
ships in the first few years after the
war was by a very sharp fall in the
birthrate now.

GET RID OF HuMoRs
AND AVOID SICKNESS

Humors in the blood cause inter.

whole system, as well as pimples,
boils and other eruptions, and are
responsible for the readiness with
which many people contract disease.
For forty years Hoods Sarsapa-

any other medicine in expelling
humors and removing their inward
and outward effects. Get Hoods.
