most women physicians OF the
country, recently declared that unless we
took measures to regulate the birth Of
children our country would soon be
overrun by degencrates.
Dr. Muncies remarkable statement
was made before the meeting of the
American Institute Of Homeopathy.
The warning was based principally on
the proved fact that normal American
families are producing on the average
only four children 10 n family, while de-
fectives and dcgenerates are producing
on the average 7.3 children to family.
1t needs but little demonstration to
show from these figures that if this
process is kept up the whole country
must in time be populated by desen-
crates. Where degenerate mates with
degenerate, which is the usual course
practically all the children are degener.

On the other hand, the normal men
and women will occasionally, through
bad judgment or propinquty marry de-
generate and a certain proportion Of his
or her children will be deficient AS tho
proportion OF degenerates in the whole
community increases, these disastrous
!r;rsd marriages must become
more and Irsfe cosnmon until ct

Oh. my farmer friend. why
do you not then let weeds

weeds are natures produc-

Again, your personal lib

Muncie's statement that the
normal couples average off

average offspring Of the de-

Washington, IAN. %. Senate iom-
ocrats in caucus late today reached
final agreement on the administration
ship purchase bill and adopted a
resolution making It a party measure.
Three democrats voted against the
resolution but II later was made
unanimous on motion of Senator
Bankhead, who had originally voted
against 1t.
The caucus adopted no important
amendments to the bill in addition
to those agreed upon at previous con-
ference.
1--WE shall keep the bill before the
senate until IL is passed. said Sena-
tor Kern, chairman of tile caucus.
There is no disposition to displace
ii with any appropriation legislation.
Much will depend on the future
course of the opposition.
Expect Bill TO Pass.
Senator Kern, Senator stone and
others who fought for an agreement
on the measure declared they ex-
pected the bin to pass before March

that their fight against II would be
continued.

cratic ranks" asserted Senator owen,

Smiths proposal that with the res
toration of normal conditions at the
end of the European war, the govern

ment was defeated.
Some Democratic Opposition.
Senator Kern announced that two
thirds of the democrats had voted to
make the bill party measure. Sew
eral' democrats, however, were not
present when this action was taken.
Among those absent were senators
Vardaman, Hardwick. Camden and
O'Gorman. Some OF their colleagues
said, they believed that these sena-
tors, with possibly one exception,
would vote for the bin.
Senator Hitchcock who attended
the caucus, but was not present when
the binding resolution was adopted,
said he hoped to have an opportunity
to vote for some amendments to the
bill in the senate.

provides for shipping board TO
