Chicago, May s.-The action Of i've
physicians who resigned from the
faculty of Marquette University at
Milwaukee because they disagreed
with Father H. C. Noonan. head OF
the school, on the question of
whether a mothers life should be
saved at the expense of her un-
born child, was upheld here today
by coroner Peter N. Hoffman.
Hoffman was coroner when the
late DR.. Harry ]. Haiselden allowed
a baby to die rather than let II live
a defective. Hoffman charged Haisel-
den's act was murder"
Child should Make Sacrifice.
Il think that when a mothers
life is in danger and a sacrifice
should be made either way, the
sacrifice should be made for the
mother, because she may bring more
children into the world. and she is
!, needed to raise her other children
md the children she may already
have.
TO let the child live and the
mother die does not give progress
TO the world. The need of the mother
Is more imperative than the child"
Members of the American Medical
Association said the question was
an individual one and not for the
association.
TT is a question which the as
sociation has discussed for years,
but has never been settled" said
one official of the association, the
question is not one of medicine,
but one of morals"
A mother has as much right
to defend herself against death in
case her life is threatened by child
birth as she would have were a
child to point a gun at her" said
DIR. G. Henry Davis. one of the sur
geons who resigned.
Father II. c. Noonau. head of
the university. insisted lis objec-
tioE to the surgeons views was

gious grounds.
Violates Commandment.
only self-defense, war and cap
ital punishment justifies taking of
human life" he said. The destruc-
tion OF the life of either mother
or child to save one OF their lives
is to violate the commandment,
Thou shalt not kill
The university authorities have
always taught that the lives Of
both mother and child are sacred.
The moral law forbids a physician
TO sacrifice a mothers life to save
a child, or a baby's life to save
that of the mother"

1t is estimated that the upkeep of a
light tractor capable of doing the work
Of four horses is $3.50 a year, while
the cost OF maintaining four horses is
figured at 1896 for the same period.
Hay and feed for the horses are figured
at $50, shoeing at S24, wear on har-
ness at Sl2 and depreciation OF horses
at $50. The cost OF fuel for a tractor
for an average cocoon is placed a.
500, cost OF repairs and overhaul at
$50 and depreciation at 500. The
net result is a saving of S646 for the
farmer who uses a tractor

Could Not Recover Damages.

The suit for $4,000 damages "
Mrs. Jemima Smith against the Ha.
gerstown ami Frederick Railway Com.
pany, collapsed suddenly in the cou,,
in Frederick last Thursday. when At.
torney Leo Weinberg, Representing
the railway company, raised a novel
point in demurring to the declaration
of the plaintiff. The suit was brought
TO recover for the death Of Mrs
Smiths young daughter, who was run
over and killed February 2Sth last
In the declaration it was alleged tia,
Margaret |. Smith, the victim, was tho
illegitimate child of the plaintiff, Jemi.
ma Smith. Attorney Weinberg con.
tended that under the law the mother
could not recover for the death OF an
illegitimate child. and relied upon 4
case decided by the Maryland Court
Of Appeals February IS, 1920, in which
it was held that "the word child or
children, when used in statute. mean,
legitimate child or children" In this
case an illegitimate child tried to re-
cover damages for the death OF IS
mother and the right was denied BY the
Court Of Appeals.
After hearing arguments IN I'M
cases cited Thursday Judge Worthlng'
ton sustained the contention OF the
railway company, which prevented Inc
case from being tried. A jury haa
been selected and the railway company
was prepared to combat the alegato'
that the accident was caused BY neg
ligence when the question Of IL
legitimacy was raised.

The Unknown Dead.

England has many noble monuments
but only one national shrine. West
minister Abbey is the heart OF the
British nation. The spot on which It
stands has been hallowed by religious
associations since Roman times, and
the present building has seen more
solemn and impressive ceremonies
than any other building in the world
There the sovereigns of the empire are
crowned, and there are held the funer-
al services that mark the fms Of their
little chapters of history. There many
of them are buried, and thither, TO
fellow with them for all time, are
borne the ashes of the great dead from
every field of human achievement.
With that sense of what is fitting
and that instinct for spiritual values
that have always been the great
strength of the nation, Great Britain
on Armistice Day laid another body
in Westminster Abbey; not, this time
the body of one whose name is familiar
throughout the earth and whose
achievements for the race have been
recognized and set down to his honor
but one whose name is known 10 no one
living, and never will be known: the
body of an unidentified British soldier
who fell in battle, and. whose renal ns
were brought home to his native land
from France.
The place of burial had been pre-
pared and a cenOtaph was covered with
veil Just at eleven o'clock-the hour
when the firing ceased two years ago
the veil parted, and for two minutes
all England stood uncovered and silent
! The solemn service gave expression tC
what no man would have ventured &c
put into words, and the Unknown Deac
was one of the imn1rtals of England
No more beautiful or spiritually sig
nifcant tribute was ever paid to hui
man dust. 1t was the public &C
/ knowledment by a nation of the deb
! that il owes to those whose services BY
their very magnitude made any pay
ment impossible. 1t was also per
sonal acknowledgment to every family
from which a member remains still
missing and unacocun ed for that thei
country recognizes their sacrifice anC
is grateful and will not forget; TO
there is not one such family that can
not and will not comfort itself with th'
thought that is own dear dead is tina
unknown soldier of the Abbey.
Forever unknown, forever mute, h,
will be known wherever men use hi:
mother tongue; and to generations we
unborn he will speak of patriotism anc
duty and sacrifice more eloquently thar
ever Englishman spoke before.

ASK AID FOR FLORIDA
SHORT ROUTE ROAD
DELEGATIONS FROM DAWSON
AND OTHER TOWNS APPEAR
BEFORE HIGHWAY BOARD.

Urging that the State Highway
Commission officially adopt about 40
miles on the Florida Short Route be-
tween Dawson and Cusseta as part
of the Georgia highway system and
give financial aid in the construction
of permanent road, delegation of
25 or more citizens from Dawson, AL
bany, Richland, Cusseta and Columbus
has appeared before the highway
board. Among those present were
w. E. Page, president of the Short
Route Association; S. A. Spivey, A. F.
Kunze and o. w. Donnell of Column
bus; Hon. C. C. Minter, of Cusseta;
R. j. Dixon, chairman of the county
commissioners, and Messrs. Coffin,
Davis and Brice, of Richland; Hon. A.
P. Passmore and Mr.. J. w. Adams,
chairman of the board of commission
ers of Webster county; ]. A. Shields,
J. C. Hollingsworth, H. A. Petty, M.
]. Yeomans and E. L. Rainey, of Daw-
son; Hon. O. G. Crawford, of Sasser,
and Hon. W. H. Burt, of Albany.
This highway accommodates more
travel than any other in this section
of the state, and it's Importance was
strongly stressed by the entire dele
CATION.
This highway connects Chicago, Ill,
with Tallahassee, Fla, via Memphis,
Tenp Huntsville, Ala, Columbus,
D9wson and Albany, Ga, and is al
ready being extensively used by tour
lists from the northwest. An allot-
ment of $4,000 was made some time
ago to Terrell county for the con-
struction of this road from Dawson
south to the Dougherty county line.
This link of the highway is now be-
ing constructed, and unless the road
between Dawson and Cusseta is adopt
ed as a part of the state system this
money and work will be wasted and
more than useless.
A meeting of the Florida Short
Route Association has been called for
july 9th at Richland, at which time
representatives of sall the counties
along the route and of the highway
board will be present and definite
plans shaped. A committee consisting
of Messrs. R. J Dixon, j. A. Shields
J. w. Adams, C. C. Minter and A. F
Kunze has been appointed to maxi az
rangements for the meeting.
