Letter and Answer
Washington Woman Opposes Maternity Bill
and Miss Gray Replies to Her

S. DITOR National Leader: have stud
|9g1 EAIsssl led the Sheppard Towner maternity
lNXI IIM@l bill, and am opposed to it, it is my
|sa ZuyIat opinion it is only another scheme to
ssss5I- 5I@@l saddle some more joyriders the
backs of the taxpayers. We now have
too many $3.50 matching" laws and they are
being constantly added to by congress.
Before had read this bill (having only seen it
referred to in the papers) in favor Of it, but
if the bill is 'to aid in spreading information and
advice among mothers and prospective mothers re-
garding pregnancy, hygiene, care, and feeding of
infants" will say we already have too many So
called "advisers" trying to tell us what we do not
care to know Cor know probably better than they
do).l 81
Our county has just succeeded in abolishing
health nurse who spent her time riding the
county at expense, with no noticeable results
but it took massmeeting of farmers and their
wives to make the commissioners the light.
What is needed is not "advisers," but men sent
to legislatures who will limit the fees of doc
tors, who are now charging such exorbtant fees
that hesitates to send for one will not quote
their fees, for all farmers know what they are. One
or two operations in family almost takes the
farm. Dentists in the same class. Regulate
the fees of these robbers and will need no Shep-
pard-Towner laws.
am glad Miss Robertson had the courage to vote
against this bill, and sincerely hope there will be
no matching" of appropriations in state Do
not forget that we also pay share in taxes of
the federal appropriations.
BOSsburg Wash. MRS. A. E. WOOD
NOTE BY MISS GRAY-About $4,000 mothers
and 100000 babies die annually in the United
States from causes which could easily be eliminat-
ed if mothers had proper information and advice.
The figures are by the United States childrens bu-
and other official sources. These deaths cause
needless suffering, heart pangs and economic loss,
to say nothing of the doctors bills which Mrs.
Wood says exorbitant and which probably are
in lot of 1t is to help prevent this loss and
eradicate this suffering that the maternity bill was
passed by congress and signed by the president,
after every womens organization in the nation, ex-
cept the reactonary anti-suffrage organizations,
had indorsed it.
Now Mrs. Wood is intelligent woman and in
raising her family probably does not need informa
feed and for her children. Perhaps, too her

FEDERAL AGENTS
IN ROUNDUP OF !
DOPE PEDDLERS
Five jailed in First Raid
on Alleged Haunts of
Dope Fiends

Three men and two women were ar
rested today by Jack Denison, federal
agent, in the first of what is expected
to be general round up of persons be-
lieved to be connected with dope
smuggling and and peddling in South
ern California.
Jack Denison, federal narcotic in
vestigator, came to FL Centre Satur-
day, and succeeded in rounding up
Julio Rodrigues, Oran w. Rouse, Sadie
King, Frank Kinsell and Eva Edwards,
alleged drug peddlers, for violation of
the Harrison Narcotic law, and confis-
Gated 25 bindles of morphine, cocaine
and heroin. Accompanying Denison
were Inspectors A. w. Roberts and A.
A. Elliott of San Francisco, Mrs.
Roberts and Mrs. Elliott, the latter also
being federal inspector.
Upon arrival here Saturday morning,
Denison kept under cover, believing
he would be recognized by drug ped
dlers and sent Roberts and Elliott out
to see what they could find. The in
spectors picked up George Warner, a
drug addict, and through him met Rod
rigues, Rouse, and Sadie King at the
are said to have bought morphine and
cocaine from the peddlers. They later
visited the Commercial hotel and made
arrangements with Kinsell and Eva Ed
wards to have supply of morphine
for them Saturday night. The ped
dlers were extremely cautious, having
been badly stampeded by Denison s
previous visit here six weeks ago, when
he rounded up seven peddlers, and it
was only after considerable prelimi-
nary work and thorough investigation
by the peddlers that the inspectors
were permitted to meet them.
Police Aid in Work
Saturday night, the federal men, this
time accompanied by Denison, returned
to the Piedmont hotel for more drugs,
having previously arranged with Off
GERS Bogue, Applegate and Reber of
the local force to raid the house when
they received the proper signal. The
second visit proved to be a long drawn
out affair, the peddlers fearing trap,
and it was only by the assistance of
Warner that the federal officers pro-
cured the drugs. AS soon as the trans
action was completed, the local Off
GERS were given the signal and rushed
into the house, placing federal opera
tives and peddlers under arrest Rod
rigues, Rouse and the King woman
were taken to police headquarters and
the officers then returned to the Com
mercial hotel to keep their appoint
