creation Of a state board OF education
to consist of seven members and to
have supervision of public school mat.
ters, is before the state legislature

recommendation coming from the edu-
cational commission.
Under the plan members OF the

pointed by the governor from each
Of the seven supreme court districts.
ut is the intent of the commission
that this board shall be the policy
making body for public education in
Illinois," the commission says in re-
commencing the bill.

Doctor Tells Birth
Control Conference
We Need More Babies

NEW YORK, March 2s.-The sixth
international neo-Malthusian and
birth control conference in session
at the Hotel McAlpin received quite
a jolt when DR.. Louis /. Dublin, sta
tistician Of the Metropolitan Life In
surance company told them that the
figures presented in their arguments
in which they contend that all our
economic troubles are due to over
population were incorrect.
He then made a long speech to
prove that what the country needed
to cure its economic and social ills
was more babies. an
Il cannot consider the underlying
causes for the decline in the birth rate
except to point to the very obvious
influence of the widespread knowledge
of contraceptive methods. Every doc
tor, every nurse, every druggist, and
every social worker will, believe, az.
NIT that such knowledge is wide
spread. Contraception is more wide
ly practiced here than in any country
in the world except Germany and
Austria"
Mrs. Sanger replied briefly to DR..
Dublin's criticism.
Every objection brought forward"
she said, lis an old story. If he will
stay with us he will find every obiec-
ton answered before the conference
is over"

Vienna, Feb. 2S.--successful use of insuin in preventing the recur- renee of cancer in mice Is reported in paper read by Professor Fried rich Sllberstein, of the Vienna Insti- tute of Experimental Pathology be- for the Medical association here.
 Silberstein described how he had verified by experiments on mice that when they were treated with maxi mum supportable doses of insulin after the eXcision of their carcinoma no relapse of the malady was ob- served in 50 per cent of the cases.
 Professor Siberstein also stated that the development of cancerous growth slowed down or ceased en- tirely in continued treatment with maximum doses of insulin for mice not operated upon.
 The physician appealed to his col leagues to administer to human pa- tients the largest possible doses of insulin when. owing to a too great spread of the swelling. an operation was impracticable.
 Professor SiIberstein's report has caused a pronounced sensation here.

PALACE FEATURE .IS 'CHARLEY'S AUNT
Famous Play in Picturized Form
 Next Week

It Is a surprising thing indeed, that the movie makers have not filmed "Charley's Aunt" before. Now 1t is about ready to arrive via the cinema and is advertised for the Palace theater beginning Sunday night for four days.
 "Charley's Aunt probably holds more records for long-distance run- ming on the stage than anything outside of Uncle Toms Cabin" The farce was written by Brandon Thomas and first produced in Eng land in 1892. The remarkable thing about the play was the fact that it has run continuously for the last thirty-three years and still shows evidence of going strong.
 "Charleys Aunt" is also credited with being the funniest play ever written, and in making the picture the producers have designed the scenario to keep all of the biggest laughing sequences in the play in- tact. Syd Chaplin plays the title role of "Charley's Aunt from Bra. gil where nuts come from" and he is said to do the best work of his career.
 There will be q special showing of this photoplay for school children each day after school beginning at 4:30 at which time they will be ad- mitted for 10. In addition there will be a Keith vaudeville program of excellent acts headed by the Dancing Millards and their band of harm onists. There is cast of seven clever artists in the offering and the band is said to be wonderful.
 Other acts include Artie Nolan in a batch of new songs and stories; Hayes and Kevc, two clever girls in songs and dances; and Burt and Vale, a comedy couple. On Thurs. day the entire bill will change and brings Buck Jones in "Western Luck" with a splendid Keith yaude- vile bill.
