Mr.. MURRAY Of Bangor: Mr.. Speak
err 1t seems to me strange that after
having been together three months. I,
Of all this large body, should be the
first to say or do something which
should cause embarrassment to the
Speaker. for / fear Mr. Speaker, that
what am about to say will embarrass
you. 1t seems stranger still that when
I have finished neither you, Mr.. Speaker,
nor the members. nor will regret 1t, be-
cause we realize, Mr.. Speaker, that
sometimes we are placed in the most
embarrassing positions by our friends.
I see, Mr.. Speaker, you are beginning
to suspect that I am acting as spokes-
man for my colleagues and to prevent
your becoming uneasy, I will admit 1t.
And now that you are sure Of that and
after gazing into our happy faces. you
can realize the rest. 1t is true. Mr..
Speaker. I have been asked by the boys
to hand "Rili" something and tell him
what we think of him.
Do you realize. Mr.. Speaker. that since
been a single tiff between yourself and
the members on the floor? On the
other hand. when we were about to get
into trouble between ourselves. one look
at your smiling face cast our anger to
the winds. You have been patient and
considerate in unravelling our parlia-
mentary tangles. Your rulings have
been fair and Just. have been request
ed by the minority. Of which I am a
member. to say that in recognitions and
rulings, party lines were forgotten, and
1 assure you. Mr.. Speaker, this comes
from the heart
But what is the use Of my extolling
your virtues? I could stand here for a
half hour. but see you are like child

SCIENTISTS DIVIDED
ON BIRTH CONTROL
Priest Denounces Theory, but
New York Advocate Of Idea
Wins Applause

Decidedly opposite views concerning "Thc
Rights OF the Unborn Child" were taken
by speakers who addressed the members
Of the Philadelphia County Medical Society
on the aforementioned subject, held in Scot
tsh Rite Hall last night.
Dr. s. Adolphus Knopf, professor In the
Now York Post-Graduate Medical School
ana Hospital, declared himself in favor OF
birth control.
Doctor Knopf's address came as a climax
TO an address delivered by the Rev. A. !.
Schultz. a professor OF liturgy and Latin in
st. Charles's Seminary, Ovcrbrook. Speak
ing from the viewpoint OF the Catholic
Church. he characterized n physician who
would destroy the life Of an unborn child
as a murderer" and an assassin"
Father Schultz also denounced that sec
ton OF the medical profession that advo-
Gates birth control.
Doctor Enopf was interrupted several
times during his address by upplauae

ccption of children and particularly children
that through economic reasons are dCs-
tined to die in poverty. or disease. In

corning birth control, and this can be done
so scientifically that ii will not endangor
our national life.
In reality 1t Is not race suicide, but
race preservation. At the present time
birth control Is carried to excess by the rich
because for various reasons they do not
want large families The poor mother,
who Is unable to give her children all that
Is due them, should have the same right
as the rich, Certainly it is better to have

HOUSEHOLD HELPS
DO Yow Buy Food or Wosto2

"IITHY chicken is very wholesome food,
w and the market price isn't very high
these days, so I'm buying it great deal"
said a young housekeeper who prides herself
on her shrewd marketing ability.
But in buying food there is a point to be
considered that Is more important than the
actual price which the butcher or baker or
vegetable man asks. That is, how much of
the food bought contains nutrment and how
much water? Every food contains some of the
elements Of bodily nutrition-protein. starch
fat, etc.--and many of them contain n
larger proportion Of waste than we suspect
Broilers at ten cents n pound would be more
expensve--from the standpoint of amount
OF nutrition they contain-than ribs of beef
costing three times that amount. Because
broilers are 4l.6 per cent waste and the
ribs only 10 per cent waste
Here Is a table showing the flesh foods
mat have the greatest amount Of waste and
those having little or no waste:
