HEROIC MOTHERHOOD
(Pittsburg PresS)

Among modern mistakes the great
est is that civilization would do away
with war. The second is that woman
would seize any chance to escape the
curse of Eve as soon as science should
show her a way.
Science now offers her twilight
sleep" Many of the country's best
physicians approve this painless pro-
cess of bringing children into the
world. Most maternity hospitals pro-
vide the opportunity and the cost is
not excessive. Nevertheless sonly a
very small per cent of mothers take
advantage of this new way of escap-
ing Ewes penalty.
According to the physician of a IA
nous New York hospital hundreds of
women of the highest type absolutely
refuse to be made unconscious while
the miracle of motherhood is COM
pleted. They deliberately choose the
Olu hdiu way VI agony WlIn lull
knowledge, to a painless unconscious
ness which includes perfect ignorance
of what is going on.
Bringing a child into the world is
the greatest event in any woman's
existence. Great wonderland these
are to be found among the rich and
poor, the wise and the unlearned alike
insist on meeting the event lucidly
This defiant motherhood should make
fathers very humble indeed.
1t has become a too common nabit
for certain types of average good men
to belittle every phase of feminism
Here is a phase which every man must
honor. That would be a very good
form of domestic preparedness which
would compel such men to ponder
deeply and with much respect on lsat'
form of moderi feminism which is de-
scribed by the words "heroic mother
hood"

OUR GIFTS TO RELIEF FUNDS
brooklyn Eagle)

The year book of the Carnegie En-
dowment For International Peace
presents a record of charitable effort
OF which Americans have some rea-
son to be proud. 1t shows that the
citizens of this country have contrib
uted nearly $29,OOO,OO0 to the war re-
could so so, have alleviated the suf-
ferings of stricken Europe. The Bel
gian Commission has received $1,000
900 of the total, while the aggregate
contributed to all the agencies of Bel
gian relief was more than $10,000,000
English relief funds were increased by
American contributions to the extent
f 1894, 900 French societies and as
scciatons got $2,OOO,OOO and the re.
lief agencies of the Central Empires
were helped by gifts amounting to 3d.
100000 The American Jewish Relief
Committee alone gathered in $4,000
900.
These are some of the items only in
a large and impressive total. They do
not in any way represent the work OF
innumerable small. organizations or
the efforts and gifts of a multitude of
individuals who have been doing eff
receive relief work in a detached way.
The heart of this republic responds
warmly to the appeal of those who have
suffered and are suffering from the
immeasureable catastrophe of Europe
IL recognizes no nationality to the eX-
clusion of any other. Wherever the
sympathies Of the majority here may
lie as between the warning nations the
answer made to the appeal of the
starving and the wounded is not deter
mined by prejudice, but by compass
sion.

THE TRAGEDY OF THE BABY
detroit Free Press)


The real tragedy Of most babies Is
that their mothers are amateurs. We
hear a great 'deal-spasmodically-
about better babies" We shall never
have them until we have better moth
ers. incidentally, better fathers
might help some.
There are some foolish folk who
talk about motherhood as II the mere
fact of bearing a child conferred the
knowledge and sense necessary for
its proper care. To disprove this con
tention one has but to note the tiny
babes, some of them barely a month
old, borne through the scorching
streets during the heated period, in
their mothers arms or thrown up
over the maternal shoulder like a bag
of meal, the head unprotected, the lit
tie face flushed and perspiring, the
eyes blinking in the sun and the re-
Elected heat from the sidewalk, the
body very often wrapped in flannel
for fear of taking cold" with the
thermometer at 80 and above, and the
little creature protesting in the only
way it knows to proclaim its discom-
fort. Plato, 400 years before Christ,

reform. The need is still apparent.
despite the progress Of civinzation
and the teachings of modern science.
which do not unfortunately, seem to
nltrate into the minds of those who
need them most.
The place for the babe, and for the
little ones whose lives are reckoned in
months instead of years, is at home in
'such days as we have been experience
ing of late. No exigencies of shopping
or visiting, not even taking them out
in the sun. With frequent sponging,
the lightest sips of cold-not iced
water, the tender young creature is as
iwell taken care of as may be, and
with prudence in the matter of food
stands a fair chance to pull through
the heated term, when being a baby
is among the hazardous vocations.
It is a reflection upon woman that
the death rate of babies under one
year is nearly IS per cent of the entire
number percentage of loss in the case
of sheep or cattle would engage the
attention of the Department OF Agri-
,uture. The baby is entirely depend
mt upon its mother and the care given
it. We should talk less aboht race
suicide" in the ordinary meaning Of
the term, and more about the murder
that is due to ignorance and indiffer.
ence of mothers who take up the du.
ties of motherhood with no conception
of what they are.
