With anything so helpless as the human infant
to take care of, Man had to learn to stick to-
gether in order to save himself from utter de-
struction. Among savages many more babies are
born than among civilized people, and many more
die. Not only do they die naturally, but the saw
age, faced with starvation and knowing no other
way, has very often an understood custom of
killing a certain number of the children that are
born, especially in famine time.
AS we go up the scale the more highly develop
ed the human beings become the fewer children
they have, and the more chance there is that each
child born will live and grow up At present the
statistics in the United States show that babies
born into poor families have about half the chance
to live that babies have who are born into wellto-
do families This is not only because of the brutal
fact Of the difference in the kind of food that
can be given the richer babies, although that is
true enough, too 1t is partly because well-to-do
mothers mainly know how to limit their families,
and so have time and strength to take care Of
each baby that comes This is a matter of life and
death to the baby, and often to the mother too.
This one vital piece of knowledge is the natural
right of every human being. Consider two fam
lies In the first mature" is allowed to take it's
course. In the second they have decided that
mans mind is part of nature, and that intelligence
is not unnatural. In the first family we find an
ilcared for hungry horde of children, who can
never come to any real maturity of mind and
body. Their parents are too worn and tired to re-

member that they have a right to be human
beings as well as parents They are so
afraid of another unwanted child that their
own love and companionship has become
poisoned, and are so helpless to take care Of the
children that are already here that sheer despair
about it makes them seem indifferent. Of course,
the wife scolds and cries and threatens when the
man of the house goes on strike. How can she see
the needs of the future? The needs of the present
are too terribly pressing. They are ali caught like
animals in trap.
On the other hand, in the family that has only
the number of children it can take care of, there
are two people who can look ahead and plan for
their children Those two people will find that the
only way they can take care of their own children
is to plan for all the children of all the workers.
They will realize, both of them, that they cannot
allow wages to be cut for the sake of their own
children, that they must fight it through The
habit of taking good care of their own children
and thinking steadily for them, is one that will
go down so deep into their minds that they will
realize that they must think ahead not month
or two, but years; that the workers of the world
must stick together to the end at any immediate
cost, or they will be thrust under into slavery
worse than the worst savagery. If the workers
are going to build together firmer and happier
world one of the first steps is to get that knowi-
edge of their own bodies, which is an essential
part of freedom, and the founadton of an intelli-
gent control of our own lives

B. F. Keith's Boys Band

In all big civic, military and pa
triotic parades during and since
the war. in New York. the B. F.
Keith's Boys Band has been prom
inent, not alone for it's size. but for
the military bearing of its MEM
bers and the superb playing of these
boy bandsmen, all in their teens.
They have given concerts, too, and
have won high praise from masters
Of the baton such as Sousa- Victor
Herbert, Walter Damrosch and Ma
than Franko.
Naturally, the appearance Of these
boy bandsmen in parades arouses
curiosity as to their history, their
training, and the responsibility for
such an enormous musical organi-
zation whose teaching. outfitting
and support demand a lavish and a
persistent expenditure.

Chambers Lovable Villains

Just as a man may often be known
by his enemies. so may an author
frequently he knows by his villains.
To no writer in American is this
truism more applicable than to
Robert w. Chambers, the great
American Interpreter of American
society through the medium of liter
sture and latterly, the screen.
Chambers is famous for his crea-
tion of the lovable villain. 1t was
particularly marked in that earlier
success. The Firing Line" in which
he made Louis Malcourt a most ap-
pealing type OF villain-a gentleman
born whose destiny had placed in
the way Of two lovers happiness.
man of strange dreamings and
abrupt outbursts, but withal a man
of vast charm of manner and
breeding.
This Chambers tendency in the
creation of villains is just as marked
in The Restless Sex" the famous
novel that first appeared in tho Co.'S
mopolitan Magazine and which
reaches Washington in screen form
via Loew's Columbia Theater, where
1t begins its second great week to-
day.
The villain of The Reckless Sex"
is not SO rich an atmospheric crea-
tion,' perhaps, as was Malcourt in
The Firing Line" but this later
villain. Oswald Grismsr. in The
Restless Sex" Is just sucn a we.s-
bred. self-enacing character. Girls
mer marries Stephanie Cleland, the
heroine Of The Restless Sex"
without really expressing any great
desire to do SO.
He marries the girl to avoid hav-
ing her entangled in a roadhouse
affair that was no fault of his. 1t
was no fault of his that his father
embezzled the heroine's money to
educate him, but the dramatic reac-
ton of the audience is against Os-
wald and not against his father.
Chambers creation of a character
of this type is singularly adroit.
Always he is the victim of sinister
circumstances, the man who is al
ways in the way.
Bowed down by the shock and
the grief of his fathers death, his
rather uninspiring marriage to
Stephanie is minor affair. Then
comes Jim Cleland, Stephanie' s
oNSPtSu biotHeEs hOtnc ITOU dI I
triumphs in Paris and the stricken
Oswald learns without particular
emotion that his wife is in love
with his friend and not with him.
There is something actually pa
thetic in the end Of Oswald. He
realizes that destiny has made him
an obstacle to happiness for two
people. His weight Of woe is hard
to bear. Quietly. unobtrusively. he
passes out of life and his suicide
ends the chapter and opens the
way for happiness to the lovers.

1t takes a modern Chicago home

that music, as embodied in the

to be fought over and to be taken

follows:
China crashed. Oaken furniture

Women shrieked! Oh 'ldren shrilled.

Saturday the organ was traded
as part payment for a player piano.
And yesterday at daybreak the
thirty-odd members OF the house
hold got up to try the wonder out.
When the entire Evanston police
force had waded through the debris
and set up martial law within the
home John announced his willing
ness to charge Frank with disor-
derly conduct. There had been dis
sension as to who should first play
the piano.
At $3.50 o'clock Lily signed
charges against Frank and Anna
for trying to oust her from the
piano bench. About noon Sophie
signed complaint against Anna who
had attempted to beat her up. An
hour later there was a free-for-all
and Anna got a charge against Lily
for assault and battery. When 3
