NEW York., Dec. 80. By Il vote 81

months.
Six Doctors DisnpprOve.
The main report, signed BY six 81
the nine members. disapproved OF
physicians aiding in the Limitation Of
families except in cases where the
mothers life or health Is endangered.
A minority. report favoring the III

signed by only two.
In the course of debating -for both
sides had many followers eager to adj
vance arguments there were heated
words Mt times
DR.. Ira S. Vile, one of the ardent
supporters OF the birth control report,
said that what was done secretly
might as we'll be made legal. He added :
This society contains members who

far worse than the giving Of advice to
regulate births and yet retain their
membership!

At a meeting of the American Genet
ic Association DR.. Robert j. Sprague,
OF the Massachusetts Agricultural Col

to say that for one great section 81

8utes at Lenox avenue and 125th

Sltceman, performed an operation with
his knife.
He had to cut away part OF. the
shoe Of Mrs. Cecilia Mathieson, So
years old. of 1856 West 13Oth street,
who was literally a prisoner Of fash
ion.
Mrs. Mathieson was crossing the
street when the wind blew her skirt
about her shoetops and it caught In
one Of the patent buttons on some
new and very fashionable shoes.
AS she stopped down to fix it she
caught the third finger Of her right
hand between the inside of the shoe
and her stocking on the end Of the
wire holding the shoe button.
The wire acted like a fish hook and
she couldn't release her finger. In
that STOPPING position she screamed
for help as an automobile nearly ran
her down. Brown held up traffic and
tried to release the finger, but could
not. Then IL. cut away the top Of the
shoe. M
Mrs. NIathieson was put In a taxi
cab and taken to Harlem hospital,
where DR. Roach had to perform an
operation to get the wire out. s

FINDLAY, 81, Dec 30--A child
wonder with unusual mental pow
ers, has been discovered in the first
grade Of the West State street school
by Miss Helen Gaski1l, the teacher.
He is Master Roy Fork, aged six,
son of #. y. Fork. well-drille resid-
ing on franklin avenue. While
bright in all his school work, the
youngster is a prodigy in mathemat7
les.
He knows the calendar by heart
and although given the most severe
questions with regard to days and
you tell him Your age. he can tell. in
"a second the year you were born,
and i fyou give him the date of your
birth and ask him what day Of the,
week it comes on he replies at once,
correctly and without fail.
His ability cannot be attributed to-
mental telepathy, for in many in
stances he tells the days ana
dates in last years calendar, which,
when you look them up, you find
are right.
Although not customary to teach
children the months and abbrevia-
tons of this. Roy had them mas
tered when he went to Kindergarten,
and the remarkable feature IS that
he was never taught.
He is also lightning fast IN prob
lens which deal with addition and

Whether or not an additional as

TO
FACILITATE
REPORTS
Will Do the Heavy Work for Election
Supervisors in Connection with Bal
lots Cast by Absent Voters

The election law which requires
that election officers smust forward
affidavits and ballots to the counties
where such voters reside, will not
work such a hardship on the inspec-
tors in this county as this work will be
facilitated by Judge s. G. Durbin,
chairman of the county election board.
The law requires the inspectors to i'm
mediately forward to all counties con-
cerned reports on the ballots so cast
which involves expense and delay in
being remunerated for the output.
Concerning this and other features OF
this law Judge Durbm said today;
"As this law does not appear in the
pampnlet containing election laws
which is sent to the election officers
in each precinct, ! am preparing in
structions as we'll as blank affidayits
to be sent out with election supplies.
'If election officers will bring all
such ballots and affidavits when they
return the boxes to the county board
| will be glad to send them out. It is
not easy under the law to collect the
postage and registration fees and |
don't want the inspectors to lose these
items which in the aggregate mean
considerable sum. Election officers
as it is are underpaid for very long
and hard days work,

Interstate Cotton compress has re-
ceived and pressed $4,000 bales against
5000 bales on the same date last year
This is the result Of the cotton season
being fully month in advance OF
that of last year due to the drouth in
August which forced the opening of
the bolls and brought early cotton.
4 difference of opinion exists as to
The percentage of the cotton which has
already been picked in this section. 1t
has been variously estimated at from
half to three -fourths of the crop
but in the opinion Of c. II. Caneman,
manager of the Interstate Cotton Com-
press company fifty per cent would be
a conservative estimate. Mr. Cane
man does not believe the reports of
much larger percentage.
The Interstate compress is the scene
of great activity and with the high
prices of cotton conditions look ex-
ceedingly promising.
At present there are between 10000
and 1900 bales Of cotton in the
sheds which have a capacity of aboat
$4,000 bales and there are probably
hundred cars in the yard.
The construction ofsthe fire wall
is completed and most Of the new
sheds are now up making this one Of
the best sheltered congresses in the
state. These improvements were
made primarily for the purpose of re-
ducing the rate of insurance.

PROSPERITY
STARTS HIGH
LIVING COST
Export Trade Brings Unprecedented Quan-
tity Of Gold to Country Resulting in Rise
Of Wages Drawn from Gold Store
By United Press.

By United Press.
Washington, Oct 19--"America's
great prosperity is responsible for the
high cost Of living" says Director of
Mints Won Engelman.
The export trade is bringing an un
precedented quantity Of gold to this
country, says thi sofficial. With such
vast demands for goods the rise in
prices is responsible for more people
who are employed getting higher wag
es and while these workers supply
goods their wages are drawn from the
immense store of gold and they buy
more goods, helping to swell the alb
normal demand.
Wages have not kept pace with the
increase in prices, the director ad'
mits, but he hopes for an altered con
dition in the future. The mints are
working twenty-four hours a day try
ing to supply demands.

ON
SOCIALISM
WARNS UP
Wright Accepts Suggested Division Of Time
and Lively DiscussiOnslFOllOw at
Alex and Naples

With a division of time agreeable
to both sides, the joint discussions be-
tween w. G. Witcher, the anti-Socialist
lecturer of Grandview, Texas, and
Monroe Wright, representative of the
Socialist party, were resumed at Alex
and Naples Wednesday, with large
crowds preset at both places. Re
from Dmocratic sources say
Witcher cleaned his opponent to a
finish while the Socialists express en-
tire satisfaction with the showing
made by their speaker. DR.. Hanna,
OF Alex said, "Witcher trimmed them
to a frazzle and then wore out the
frazzles.''
AS in previous speeches during the
week Witcher assailed what he de-
clared to be the fundamental princi-
pies Of Socialism, as put forth by the
leaders in the movement asserting
that its doctrines were destructive of
the state. religion and the family re-
lation, and Wright stood firm in his
declaration that the entire program
of the party was embraced in its plat
form, denying that the views express
ed by the leaders quoted by Witcher
were party principles. Witcher en-
phasized a statement in the resoiu-
tions adopted by the national Socialist
convention in 1912 to the effect that
the "ethics of Christianity and the
ethics of Socialism" are very different.
This evening the debaters will meet
at Rush Springs and tomorrow after
noon at Minco. On Friday evening
they will clash at the court house in
Chickasha. The present division Of
time gives Witcher 40 minutes to open
the discussion, Wright following with
40 minutes, then IL minutes for
witcher and 35 minutes for Wright,
the first speaker having 70 minutes
for closing.
