BIRTH CONTROL
BY DR.. Frank Crane


There laws in most states prohibiting the
giving of information which will enable parents to
limit the size of their family These laws are
due to the opinion in the minds of the legisla-
tors and of the communities that elect them that
any knowledge of how to prevent conception is
dangerous and will lead to laxness of morals.
There is a very active campaign now going
to change these laws The advocates of change
argue that ignorance upon this matter CD re-
suits in too large families among people that are
not able to support them, thus intensifying the
evils of poverty, and burdening society with pau
pers; ca that diseased parents tubercular and
otherwise continue to bring unfit offspring into the
world, and go that knowledge of contraceptlon
would prevent mothers from breaking down IN
health from the too frequent bearing of children.
The best part of the medical profession seems
to be enlisted among the champions OF Dlrth CON
troll. Dr. S. A. Knopf, of the New York Post-Grad-
nate Medical school, gave in the New York Med
ical Journal of November 1916, clear statement
of physicians reasons for this. lie cites Inc case
of Holland, where the medical and legaI PROFESSIONS
openly approve and help to extend the artlhcal re-
sricton of the birth rate and states that the heatn
of the people there has improved faster tnan IN any
other country in the world; also the Dutch people
are increasing more rapidly than the people or any
other.race In Australia and New Zealand there Is
free circulation information of the kind in ques
ton and the soldiers they have furnished in the war
of Europe are physically equal If not superior 10
those from England, where birth control is troWned
upon by the legal and ecclesiastical authorities
The Medical Times says of France which we
were fond of calling decadent: France today Is
presenting her splendid spectacle of efficiency 10
the world because only the fttest or her people
have survived and the chief factor has admittedly
been contraception?'
Dr. Jacobi 1.-The venerable Nestor of the medical
profession" declares: "Our federal and state laws
on the subject of prevention of conception are
grievously wrong and unjust"
AS to the moral side of the question, it is about
time to abandon the theory that virtue depends
upon ignorance, and that knowledge is dangerous
to ones soul. That is doctrine that belongs 10
the middle ages. =
All knowledge is clean. 1t is ignorance that Is
poison To assert that the health, virity, or NOR
atty of the people rests upon keeping them in lg-
norance is monstrous. .. y .
The possibilities of horror and cruelty that lie
in this as in all other creeds of truth suppression
are wildly shown in Nine. Nazimova's play OF
"Ception Shoals"
The women in New York who are undergoing
prison and persecution by their defiance of the laws
in this matter may seem extravagant and unbal-
anced in their methods, but perhaps their way is
the only one to awaken the public to the reallza-
ton of the wrong of our present stupid unsclen-
tific and immoral laws.

The Automobile in Rural Life.

1t is a singulary interesting fact that something
like half the automobiles now marketed in the
United States are bought by farmers. The explana-
ton lies partly in the unexampled prosperity which
has prevailed in rural districts for several
past particularly since last autumn. High prices
for grain have bulged the pockets of the West as
record prices for have fattened those of the
South; and in every region where food staples are
raised money has abounded. 1t has not BEEN how
ever case of the farmer buying an automobile as
a luxury simply because he had money to spend.
Though there instances aplenty of reckless ex-
travagance in this connection, the majority of farm
ers buy motor vehicles, whether passenger cars or
trucks as a well-considered investment. They cal
culate that inasmuch as they have to travel long
distances by another, it is just WE'LL
if not better, to automobile, provided the
cost of it's upkeep is not much more than that of
horse A good farmer generally knows enough
and his barn stands ready a garage. 1t happens
not infrequently that the time saved and the bust
ness opportunities opened by speedy motor travel
make the automobile a great deal cheaper for
farmers use than horse would be- Certainly, the
automobile is potent factor in the enrichment of
rural life. Along with the telephone and the Gov
ernment's rural mail service, it has done vast
deal to relieve the farm home of isolation and to
the spirit of neighborliness which much
of human progress and happiness depend.

The.Den1 and for Meat
And Georgia S Opportunity

While there cheering evidences that Geor-
gia and other Southern States are more keeny IN
terested in livestock industries than ever before II
should be remembered that many years of steadily
increasing production will be required to bring the
output of food animals up to anything like the
concurrent increase inapopulation According 10
the latest reports of the national Department oil
Agriculture the South has eight hundred and
nnety-three thousand fewer head of beef cattle
now than in 1910, and six hundred and nfty thou-
sand fewer sheep. Within the same period OF years
there has been an increase of some two hundred
and twenty-four mich cows and million, seven
hundred thousand hogs; but these gains, a compe-
tent observer remarks ARE trflingy small as COM
pared with the growth of population and the in
creased demand for meat.
Georgia has made remarkable progress IN an
in,al busbandry during the last few years, but the
State still spends many millions OF dollars IN Ou5-
ing meat and dairy and poultry products from
distant regions This fact is not a cause for dis
courapement: rather it should be an incentive to
every town in the State to provide facilities Tor
marketing such products. The establishment OF
meat packing plants at various points in Georgia
has done a great deal to promote the raising OF
livestock The advent of the boil weevil Will COM
mel Investigation on a scale broader than ever ana
thereby will advance livestock interests still tur-
Their We NAV expect, therefore, that Georgia
will raise more hogs and cattle this year than ever
before but it will take many years to make the
sunpIv anything like the demand. This is one
field of production which there is no danger OF
OVERRIDING.
