One case Is on record in Berlin where a girl drank a preparation of sugar water thinking to rid herself of a child. She was sent to prison for five years, although her method of attempt was regarded as harmless.
 Many prominent persons and or ganizations are back of the movement to abolish the paragraph. Among them is the league for mothers, whose chief aim is to protect the vast number of unwedded mothers in Ger many.

GERMANS BEGIN FIGHT
 FOR BIRTH REGULATION
Frau Setz Leads Move to Repeal Ban on Criminal Operations-Chil-
 dren Sickly.
By Carl D. Groat. United Press Staff Correspondent

(United Press Staff Correspondent.) )
 Berlin, July 23. (By MaiD Every woman ought to have the right of control over her own body. As it is now thousands of women are forced to bring children into the world undernourished, sickly babies who from the outset are doomed to poverty and i'll health, in other words without even chance of growing up to hap py and useful lives"
 Louise Zeitz, independent socialist who will make the introductory reich stag speech for the bill cancelling the law against criminal operations so expressed her reasons for backing this proposal when interviewed by the United Press.
 Frau Zeitz is known as one of the most fiery orators in the reichstag and holds no brief for criminal opera tions per SC, but regards the present system as hyprocritical and unfair, permitting rich mothers to bring children into the world or have an operation, while poor mothers are punished for either course they take to many children to take care of or prison for the operation. She pointed out that while the rich are able to get the best treatment and advice and their secret kept from gossiping mouths, the poor are forced to con- suit cheap, untrained and so-called wise women and are often found out if the operation fails.
 The bill which proposes to abolish the famous paragraph 218, will be backed by the independent socialists who believe they will later obtain SUD- port of the majority socialists. The first consideration of the bill will probably be in September.
 Under paragraph 218, known to every German, the law provides for up

(St. Adams Messenger.

L. -
1t is easy for a person to delude him
self about something's and then pass his
delusion along TO others who don't stop
to do a bit of analyzing. The writer was
recently reading a discussion about the
cost of shoes, the purpose of the argu-
ment being to establish the point tnat
labor costs were not responsible for the
big increases in shoes in the past year.
1t was done in this way. The pre-
war cost of shoes was given. Then ia
this was added the increase in wages OF
shoe makers up to this time and, OF
course, the total was nowhere near what
shoes have been costing. Then the writer
rushes quickly to the conclusion that Ia
Dor costs were negligible factor in the
increased price to the consumer.
That is the surface appearance and
the surface argument. What the writer
failed to take into account was the in.
crease in labor costs for all the various
stages that go into the making of the
shoe placed on a retail stores shelf.
Labor as an element in the raising OF
cattle has increased labor as an ele-
ment in Strengthening has increased; la.
Dor as an element in tanning has in
creased labor as an element in trans
pOrtation, both of the raw material and
the finished product. has increased; Ia
Dor as an element in the making of Shoe
machinery has increased; labor in the
business Office has increased. In fact
all along the line the labor cost has in
creased.
The trouble with the argument is that
it was assumed that the only place where
labor costs should be considered was in
the shoe mandatory itself, which OBJ
viouslv is Incorrect The Messenger does
not believe that wages are the only ell
ement in the increased cost of shoes to
the consumer, but that they are the larg-
est factor it has no doubt. Statistics
have long shown that labor represents
a very large per cent of the legitimate
cost of any commodity, and rightly so.

From no less authoritative a source
than Mr. Leavens himself The RefOrmer
learns that the present state fish and
game commissioner is a candidate for
reappOintment, and it hastens to express
sincere hope that the incoming state
administration will see fit to retain the
services of this efficient official. Mr..
Leavens had no technical knowledge of
fish and game affairs when he took the
post of commissioner four years ago, and
even now does not pretend to be an ex-
pert, but he is generously endowed with
the important qualities of judgment and
tact and through their use he has been
able to place the fish and game interests
of the state on a more substantial basis
than they ever were before.
He is a thorough believer in the i'm
pOrtance of cooperation between sports
men and property owners and during his
term Of Office has done a great deal to-
ward bringing about a better understand
ing between these frequently conflicting
interests. He appreciates the value of a

consequence has developed a stronger
ointment favorable 20 these laws than
ever existed in the state before. And
while doing so much along these general
ines he has neglected neither stream,
lake. cover nor marsh. The work of re-
stocking the waters of the state has been
carried on with ever increasing results,
while permanent improvement of the
~tate's game resources has been started
through the establishment of what it is
hoped will be the first of a group of sane
tuaries.
There is no shadow of doubt that
Commissioner Leavens is in a position
now to be of even more value to the
state during the next two years than he
has been in the past four, and The Re-
former confidently believes that the
>portsmen of Vermont through their var
ious county organizations will be prac-
tically a unit in asking for his reap
pOintment.

Auto Death List.
(Rutland Herald. J

The census report of nearly 4,0OG
people killed by automobiles in the United
States during the past year is somewhat
alarming. but not larger than one might
expect after perusing the SOLDERING death
list of Vermont which included % ia
talities due to motor-car accidents.
Vermont, by reason of its small pop
ulation and lack of congested city dis
tricts, stands much higher than other
states and when compared with the rec
ord of Youngstown, o., which was 2S.5
to every 100000 of population, and with
New York city, where the record was IA
to 100000, Nermont's record of II per
100000 shows up pretty we'll.
The point about all automobile acct
dents is, however, that they are all pre-
ventable. Some ones carelessness or
recklessness or lack of skill was respon-
sible for most of the accidents charged
against the automobile, so that the pro-
posal of the census bureau for more rigid
traffic suggestions seems both timely and
well-advised.
Most of the bureaus suggestions ap-
ply to congested districts, but reduction
of speed limits at crossings, intersecting
roads and on all dangerous turns and
curves, the imposition of fine and imprls-
onment in aggravated cases and a gen.
eral safety campaign seems reasonable to
be applied to this state and its problems
as we'll as elsewhere.
We have a pretty good set of laws.
About all they need is standardizing. 1t
gets down to getting his number and
seeing that local officials do their duty.
Vermont only killed y men and wo-
men needlessly last year, but there will
be more next year unless more people
adopt safety first as their motto and
slogan.

Fair Rates.
(Rutland Herald !

The Barre and Montpelier trolley road
which has been in difficulties for some
time, is to have a receiver appointed, not
necessarily to wind up its affairs, but ia
operate the lines until January 3, 1921
and then report to the court.
In addition to steam transportation
which has always been something of q
competitor for this concern, the enormous
increase in automobile travel between the
two cities undoubtedly has something to
do with its situation.
This business of automobile cOmpeti-
rt"n with street railroads is somewhat
peculiar in some of it's phases. The pub
ic Stoutly opposed the raising of rates
IN the inter-city lines, refusing to pay
say 10 cents for a nine-mile ride-while
{ costs anywhere from 90 cents to 81 %
- operate an automobile over the same
distance. This same proportion holds
over most lines where similar conditions
prevail and the public refuses to pay
three to five cents a mile for street rail
way travel, while it certainly costs them
10 to 20 cents a mile to run their cars.
eanwhile-receivershi and the end
is not vet.
The Herald is no apolOgist for in
creased public service rates, but there is
reason in all things, and unless the cleo
trIc roads of Vermont are permitted to
increase their fares to a point where
they can pay dividends they will all be in
the hands of receivers within a short
time.
Locally, Rutland people and people on
Rutland's suburban lines are paying fares
on a seyen-cent basis-probably as much
as they should be asked to pay for the
present-and it is entirely timely that the
committee of the city council should de-
eide to continue their investigation so
that all customers of the local light and
power company should know what fair
rates are and what they ought to pay
in order to assure a fair revenue on the
actual investment in the properties con-
ceTned.
1t may be that we are paying too much,
perhaps not enough, and it will be an
experts job to say which. Let's have
the facts
