$75 8 month can properly care for eight children?
 Cannot these mothers be protect ed? You say those who don't want children are not fit for them. havo it's share of mothers care |? No, Mother is busy.
 Can you believe man getting We'll, why not allow them to be childless and protect those who have all they can feed?
 l have boy of ?. I am just getting my strength back now. How could I have had another birth only IS months or two years later and have given strong body to the child?
 Every normal woman desires children. Nature controls that. If she doesn't, she isn't natural. That probably was caused from un- der-development in large family. The world is waking up to the fact that we want quality instead of quantity.
 In my case. I would like about six children, but my husband does not want any. Queer isn't it.
 Don't you think determined wo- men will keep from having child ren if they don't want them?

Trouble Ahead for Congress.

When Speaker Clark warned the House the
other day that at the present rate OF progress
Congress would be in session until frost comes
re was not exaggerating the prospect. When
it is said that all the preparedness legislation
and most of the appropriation bills are yet to
be enacted, not half of the difficulty has been
stated. Something like real trouble will be en-
countered when the question where to get the
money to meet the appropriations that are YET
to be made comes up for discussion. Repre-
sentative Rainey called attention the other day
to the fact that the government needs $3.50.
100000 more revenue, and while no new tax.
alton measures, except that to retain the duty
sugar have yet been proposed, Mr.. Rainey
says we will get the money by increasing the
tax on incomes and by taxing munitions, whisky
beer, wines and manufactured tobacco 1--WE
are overwhelmed in Congress by demands for
pensions, for rural carriers and for a civil pen
sion list" he said. mo voice is raised any
where for retrenchment In three years we
will have $2,ooo,oooooo Congress The qucs-
ton is not how to spend money, but where to
get it With the Treasury at low ebb, with the
cost of living still mounting in spite of the
pledge in the Democratic platform to reduce II
and with the approach of campaign in which
an account of stewardship must be rendered
the problem of revenue-raising is one which
Congress will not dispose of in hurry. Speaker
Clark's advice to speed up" was timely and
cannot be ignored, though it will bring the law
makers the quicker to an unpleasant and danger
Gus duty.

By %. 3. JOHNS.

The proceedings In the House and the
work of the conferees have convinced the
advocates OF preparedness that there is a
fighting chance to secure sn agreement
on the Brandegee amendment TO the SEN
ate bill fixing the strength of the regular
army at $4,000. Expressions from mem
bers who had heretofore been CLASSIFIED
as little army men led TO the conclusion
below 10000. The more the question of
preparedness Is discussed in Congress the
stronger become the forces Of the sdvo-
Gates of an adequate army.
The Brandegee amendment was adopted
by the Senate before the news Of the
Presidents last note to Germany reached
the Capitol. The Presidents speech had

given out either from the White House
or the War Department on any Of the
features Of the bill now pending in Con-
