BIRTH CONTROL
To PREVENT
: WASTE
Aim Same as "Production in
Factory" Explains
Miss Rowe.
BALTIMORE.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 23.-That
there is a misunderstanding Of
what birth control really means il
the opinion Of Miss Clara Louise
Rowe, Of New York. head of the
organization department of the
American Birth Control League.
The league Is planning a luncheon
to be held Thursday at the Hotel
Belvedere here. q
Miss Rowe explained today that
birth control is the same as produc.
ton In a factory-not the shutting
down or stopping of production,
but producing a better product with
less waste. Birth control will mean
fewer children born. but superior
physically, and will cut down child
mortality.
IF parents would arrange to
have their families In accordance
with the mothers health and
fathers earning capacity" said
Miss Rowe, they would be able
to take better care of their children
and bring them up to be an asset
to the community rather than q
liability.
There are too many children
OoTn VINO iii our institutions be-
cause they are not born with the
natural heritage Of health to give
them fair start in life. our
league Is planning to go into the
States where medical profession has
a legal right to give out informa.
ton In regard to birth control and
to carry on there an educational
campaign"
Miss Rowe has just returned
from a trip through Indiana and
Ohio to organize this Campaign.
and will next visit Illinois, Mich.
gan, and Georgia, the State laws Of
which make it possible for the med.
ical profession to start this educa.
tional campaign. There are legis.
lative bills pending in Pennsylvania.

Miss Rowe is graduate of the
University of Syracuse and the
University of California, and was
