BEST CAUSE FOR
MARRIAGE LOVE
DR.. Hutchinson Says ''Ma and
Pa" Should Take Back
Seats

Philadelphia, Oct. 13. - Scientists
have been unable to discover a better
cause for young persons getting mar
ried than love land ma" and pa"
should keep "hands off," asid DR..
Woods Hutchinson at the third an
nual meeting of the Child Federation
at the Bellevue-Stratford,
"Eugenics.". DIR. Hutchinson de-
clared, "has not been able to usurp
love. Despite the talk and the writ
ings of scientists on mating, love still
remains the principal reason why two
young persons should get married.
Love, in fact, will generally promote
eugenics and result in proper mar
riages."
DR.. Hutchinson said that it was
perfectly natural for young persons to
desire marriage with the best-looking,
the most pleasing and most fascinating
of the opposite sex, and that it was
doubtful if eugenics could set down
better rules for mating.
Disease viii Go
Children must have plenty of food
and good food. Cheap food makes
cheap men and women" said DR..
Hutchinson.
'It is wrong idea to think that the
children of families where poverty eX-
lists are naturally born abnormal and
that little, therefore, can be expected
of them. Give them the chance and
they develop the same as any other
children. 1t must be remembered that
genius and success have not been con-
fined to the so-called upper class.
Quite often the genius has been born
in howell"
