Man Is Suicide Over
Failure To Get

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. "a
Supposedly brooding over bis
mental condition, Harry Davis,
fifty-two years old, hung him
self in the cellar Of his home,
at Camden. His body. sus-
pended from a joist and in
partly kneeling position, was dis
covered by his daughter-in-law,
Mrs. Harry Davis, jr., who had
opened the door to enter the
cellar. Coroner Pratt said the
man, from the position of the
body, let his weight rest on the
rope about his neck and slowly
strangled to death.
Davis had been employed as
a blacksmith at the Victor plant
two years ago when he lost his
position. Since then he had
been unable to obtain steady
employment and constant brood
ing is believed to have de-
ranged his mind. He had been
examined and found mentally
unsound and papers had been
prepared to commit him to the
asylum at Blackwood. Davis
was separated from his wife.

international News Service.

LONDON. Aug. 24.--War on "the
tradition Of organized Christian
sity' has been declared by Doctor
Marie Slopes. noted birth. control
Doctor Slopes, who has been
out of the linelight for some
time ewing to the fact that she
has been busy with the duties
of motherhood incident to the ar
rival of her first born, IL back In
the foreground again and fighting
with all her accustomed .vigor for
her cherished birth control project.
II am out for much greater
thing than birth control Doctor
Slopes said
II am out to smash the tradl-
ton Of organized Christianity and
to enthrone Christ's own tradition
of wholesome, healthy, natural love
toward sex life.
AssaiIs Bishops.
'eThe attitude OF unmarried bish-
OPS on the subject is insolent, and
1 will make it impossible for them
to say the things they say Their
unnatural and unhealthy attitude
toward sex shall be swept away.
Doctor Slopes did not disclose
her plan of campaign against the
bishops and their wives, but she
was very certain in her statements
that she believes public opinion
viii eventually turn against the
views which are now being los
tered by 1.-The tradition OF organ
ICED Christianity"
Criticises Doctors.
Doctors and physicians came in
for a few bits Of criticism from
Doctor Slopes.
Doctors can't agree on any
thing, and that is why they can't
agree on birth control. They are
unconsciously biased by the tradi'
lions all around them.
"One doctor told me to feed my
baby every two hours. Another
told me to feed the baby every
three hours and still another every
four hours. / finally decided to
feed the baby according to its own
needs, and not in accordance with
the traditions Of doctors. Is 1t any
wonder that the doctors can't
agree about birth control when
they can't agree about simple
theories OF their practice?
Birth control has had tre-
mendous impetus during the past
few years, and it is going forward
in leaps and bounds. 1 have no
fears but that we shall be able to
break down the tradition of or
ganized Christianity"
