birth control plan by the Rev. David
II. Fouse, pas-or Of the, First Reform
ed church and prominent Dedver
churchman, hrs aroused a most in

teaching of birth control at a meet
ing of the Ben Franklin club, local
organization formed for discussing
matters of public interest. last night.
The wives of many of the members
were present
After strongly condemning the
secrecy in which the processes in
which the races are propagated are
shrouded, DR.. Fouse declared:
I'VE must learn not to shirk the
duty of discussing the origin Of men
and women. The family is the foun-
dation of state and 1t is our pat'..
otto duty to study. that foundation.
The quality Of human birth is OF the
utmost concern and to refuse to con-
sider the controlled family is to as
sure that injustice should not govern
the central issue of life.
ITO the average American who has
a well developed sense of fair play,
II seems that there Is no good reason
for forbidding what is known and
practiced by the we'll to do from the
poor And the classes most In need

CADD|ES NOW GRADED
ACCORDING TO ABILITY
Washington Golf and Country Club
Installs System for Promoting
Efficiency of Boys.

The Washington Golf and Country
Club has inaugurated a new system of
promoting efficiency among it's cadd.es.
The boys are divided into three classes,
according to ability, and are paid wages
commensurate with the. class in which
they belong For instance, class 4
bows receive 50 cents for a single round,
class b boys 40 cents and class c boys
30 cents. The boys are in charge Of =
caddie master and the member, when
he comes to the caddie house, signs A
slip denoting the grade caddie he de-
sires and pays the caddie master. who
in turn pays the boy at the end of the
round.
Caddies are kept up to the mark by
the members themselves. as slip is
given each boy and is signed by the
member. sienifying whether the boy
has been good mediocre. Thus the
boys are kept up to the top notch of
efficiency and are on the job all the
time as. if they have too many black
marks. against them they drop to a
lower class until they can again regain
their former standing. The younger
boys. too, are encouraged to become
better caddieS.

which numbers among it's aims the bet

standard of caddes about Chicago un-
