Federal Sanction
Of Birth Control
Urged by League
Congress To Be Asked to
Permit Use of Mails to
Explain Methods
Is Planned
Spacing" of Children Called
"Most Farreaching Kind
of Patriotism"

While Germany Is urging her peo-
pie to rear large families to make up
for losses in the war, officials of the
National Birth Control League are urg-
ing Anne leans to have smaller famili 8.
The league announced yesterday at
its headquarters, 200 Fifth Avenue,
that it has tegun the circulation of
petition asking Congress to amend the
Federal penal code so that Margaret
Sanger, Mrs. Amos Pinchot and other
birth control advocates may be per-
mltted to use the mails to transport
information concerning methods of
birth control" The plan to have the
government sanction birth control is
also being championed by "The Birth
Control Review
Campaign in Capital Planned
Mrs. Mary Ware Dennett, executive
secretary of the league, said yesterday
that as soon as enough signatures to
the petition have been obtained CAM
paign will be begun in Washington to
induce Congress to remove all existing
restrictions to an open advocacy of
birth control
Reasons for urging birth control as
"a war measure" are given in state
ment written by Mrs. bennett and pub
llshed yesterday by the league. 1t
says:
Birth control in war time? Of
course. Because birth control is race
conservation. 1t lowers the birth rate,
but lowers the death rate and infant
mortality still more. Fewer people
are born, but more survive. 1t elimi-
mates waste. If we are rightly being
trained by our government to save
food and fuel and money, how much
more ought we to be trained in saving
the nation itself?
Birth Control "Patriotism"
(Which are the most valuable cit-
zens for a country under the terrible
strain of war, the man and woman who
have children as fast as it is physically
possible to have them, regardless OF
whether there is money or strength
enough TO care for them, so that some
of them die and the parents and chill
dren become more or less a drain on
the community, or the man and wom-
an who intelligently space their chill
dren, so that those who are born
have a chance to live and the health
and welfare of all concerned are con-
served?
(Which of these families will be bet
ter able to render good service to the
country during and after the war?
In other words, birth control is the
highest, most farreaching kind of pa
triotism."

stand to-day by CASTOR B. Means at

German interests before the United
States Attorney General and the mat
ter was held in allegiance and finally
allowed to drop, he added.

Mr.. Fitzgerald, j. Kusch and James

an appeal to the Board of Estimate
call attention to the fact that the

that they are doing more work than

scarcity of labor, the draft and other
demands.

25O Miles an Hour
In Plane Very Easy

LONDON, June Is (by mai). - "It
would be very easy for any English
airplane manufacturer to produce a
machine which could make better than
250 miles an hour" declared Captain
w. G. Aston, one of the leading experts
on air mechanics, here the other day.
This could be accomplished " he ex-
planned, "by merely altering the curva-
ture, or Gambler, of the planes. But
this would mean a min inum landing
speed of about $50 miles an hour, and
there is the great difficulty The ma
chine would be unquestionably hyable,
but its successful landing would re-
long, to say nothing of Extraordinary
skill on the part of the pilot"

What The Election Meant.

Now that the smoke of battle has been blown away may with profit survey the field and eSu- mate the results The outstanding fact is the cleo tion of MT. Irvine for whom more people voted than for any other candidate. MT. Irvine was an avowed advocate of radical change of methods at the city hall. All thetvoters understood that very clearly that the vote for him was vote Tor re- form. If the gentlemen at the city hall have ordinary political perspicacty, they will interpret the Irvine vote. If they do not think we can assure them that at the election next spring two commissioners having the notions MT. Irvine respecting city government will be elected to assist him, We clear way to make something of the com mission form of government.
 It may be argued by the blind that if the people were sincerely desrous of change they would have elected MT Woods and Mills. That does not fol low. The cry raised that Mr. Woods was an l. w. w. That of course, not fact, but the ac- cusation affected hundreds of voters who did not know and could not know but who believed that any condition at the city hal any degree of immortality in the city was preferable to I. W. w rule.
 As to MT. Mills, he not el-known through out the city. Probably not voter ill fifty had heard of him previous to the announcement of his candidacy before the primary. It then under stood that he had the backing of the element Later state of confusion created when it learned that he being opposed by many who had been identified with the good government movement In spite of this handicap though he did not fall far short of an election
 But it is the Irvine vote which should be regarded by the commission the attaches Of the city gov ernment authoritative direction from the CTS If it should not be needed there VIII be a further and effective direction next year.

All Must Come In

i We would be in a rather bad way now if it not for the great corporations which we have re- ivied so much in the past We thought that when the first Liberty Loan was offered it would be taken by the current savings of the country that the bonds of convenient denomination and payable for on the installment plan would appeal to the patriotic; that almost every could contribute to the needs of the government out of his daily weekly, or monthly ings The people of other countries in that way had absorbed great government loans and could we.
 But we did not But for the opening of the banks and the strong boxes of the corporations the first offering of the loan could not have been accepted. Some billions of the countrys accumulated capital went into this loan, though it was needed for other purposes but was needed still for war purposes. The history of the first Liberty Loan repeated itself in the second. What will happen in the third we will have to wait and see.
 N The second offering convinced the government that it would have to find some other way to reach the savings. Then the savings the baby bond and thrift stamp campaign was started. We know of the movement of it only in this state where still comparatively large of the savings have not yet been reached The state a whole is far behind it's quota. An approach to the quota has no where been made except in this county and hero Phoenix is largely responsible for the showing that has been made and in the counties where the great mining camps are located It IS Only III Sucn that the quota has been filled to date The big mining companies buying thrift stamps and baby bonds which not intended for them at all.
 These big corporations are no more patriotic than the rest of us, though they just very useful and helpful. They know that if these various loans are not taken the money will be taken from them by increased taxation for the going to get the money somehow.
 And the rest of us too, will be taxed if the try does not respond to the governments call. Many of us may not be subject to an income tax; few of us will be touched by profits tax, but there are other ways of getting at us There will be increases of the revenue taxes which will affect food and clothing and things that of us rich and poor have to have. The government now thinks it may have to inflate the currency and will hit every man who has dollar earns one right in his pocket more tender spot than the solar plexus. We will feel the blow much more keenly than the big cor porations will It will be good business for all of us 10 relieve the government of the necessity resort ing to these painful and extraordinary measures.
