ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. Is
There will be no need OF birth con-
troll legislation when women demand
that science cope with the fear OF
motherhood. which is the real cause
OF all this agitation for laws permit
ting the control of the size OF fami-
lies" said Mrs. Robert B. Liggett
here today. She has just completed
a three weeks lecture course on
"Twilght Sleep" in Detroit.
american families are decreasing
in size every year even without birth
control laws" Mrs. Liggett said
This decrease in our birth rate is
alarming. Every American woman
must bring to maturity at least three
children or our nation will go back
ward instead of forward.
1T is the immigrant woman who is
keeping up the birth rate now. Ameri-
can women are dodging motherhood,
and camoring for birth control be-
cause they are physically afraid OF
motherhood, not because they are
afraid oi poverty or do not wish to
give their time to the care of babies.
The higher education which we
are demanding OF our girls is uniting
them for motherhood, because it is
developing them to high nervous
tension and making them more keen
" sensitive to- pain. We cannot con-
denim our women for wanting to con-
troll the size OF their families unless
we give them some means OF elimin-
ating the pain. which they know they
must face TO bring children into the
world With easier motherhood
there will be no need OF birth con-
troll"
Mrs. Liggett will make a tour oi
Michigan and Indiana for the same
propaganda.

Friends of Mrs. Mary A. Geier, will

was born in Hamilton, o. She was i'll
