Why Thousands
of Babies Should
Never Be Born

THROUGH the continual,
i enforced bearing and
rearing of too many children,
hundreds of thousands of
women are unhappy today.
Because the demands OF "a
large family are too much for
them, hundreds of thousands
Of husbands are crushed with
a responsibility they cannot
meet.
Ii is q crime against mar
riage, against happiness,
against all humanity to bring
unwanted babies into the
world-and it is the natural
right Of every woman to know
why.
To put this vital informa-
tion before the women of this
nation, Margaret Sanger
fought through every court.
She even went to jail. But
now, at last, through the
pages Of this book, she means
TO be heard.

a N INTRODUCTION TO THE HIS
TORY OF JAPAN, by Katsuro
Hars, Is interesting chiefly be-
cause it gives the history of Japan in
ali that period which antedated the
Western discovery of Japan. We have
our own version of Japanese history
since 1866, but for what lies before that
we must depend on some such history
as this.
The period Of medievalism in Japan
extended until the opening Of the island
to Western influences in 1866. The
most interesting part Of this history
is the parallel it draws between the
course Of medievalism in Japan and
in Europe. Katsuro Hara, who appears
to be close student of European his
tory as we'll as of his own, draws fire.

Instructions in his own country to

pan had its peasant uprisings, equiva-
lent to the War of the Roses, and it's
Jacobite pretepders. Though the titles
of its dynasties and mobiles are in
volved and difficult to follow, there
appears to have been as active, fre-
quent and spectacular warfare as in
Europe.
1t is interesting to know that in
1850 Francis Xavier visited Japan as a
missionary. Though he could achieve
nothing noteworthy during his short
stay there, on account of illness, yet
by him the first seed of Christianity
was sown in the central regions of the
empire"
The political changes which took
place in 1857 are generally called the
Restoration, in the sense that the i'm
perial power was concentrated and
strengthened. 1t is apparent that
when Japan saw herself thrown open
to European exploitation she seized
upon the realization that only by a
thorough coalition could she oppose g
united force to the world, and so united
escape her almost certain extinction.
1t is this extraordinary power for
foreseeing the emergencies threaten
ing her existence, and forcseeing real
istically the terms of her survival,
which has at its source the extraor-
dinary adaptability of the Japanese
character, which has doubtless saved
Japan from the fate Of other Eastern
nationalities. 1t has also served to
impress Western peoples with the feel
ing that here is race with an un-
plumbed store Of energy.

This scarcely vindicates the distin.

ease than as poet. The action of
"Cesare borgia" lies buried somewhere
under the heavy, ornate, Italianste

borgia family appears even more un-
pleasant than usual. though it would
be hard to say why, There is much
talk OF nameless crimes and nameless
vices, OF murders ana madness, but
only the Vaguest reports Of these reach
the stage. At the end of the plav sb.
borgtas, realizing their reputation is
at stake, do accomplish nonchalantly
a murder, but why this is done or who

It may be noted that Mr.. Chesterton

whila now, at present market prices
they are asking only S3OS5, 80 >
per cent, reduction. Fir and larch
are worse yet. The company now
gets only $1725 out of 1000 feet.
where in May they secured s4125
"a 5S.1 per cent reduction. In
this connection it should be remem-
bered that this SIPS does not re-
present cost of production by far.
as ev ry authority agrees that 1t
costs about $40 a thousand to put
any kind of lumber in the pile.
Another interesting feature OF the
survey of lumber conditions is that
one grade OF lumber produced tho
selling now for Ss2.25 per thouq-
and is produced only at the rate Of
four feet to. every thousand sawed.
In other words, out of every 1000
feet going through the mill, but 40
cents worth of this selected grade Is
produced. 400 feet of every 1000
is graded as No 3 common. The
price of this has dropped from s47.-
