He said that in order to keep the

each family should consist of three
and seven-tenths children. He said
that the people of the Middle West
and the college graduates were fall

Dr. Ryan declared that birth con-

will mean limited initiation at least.
In view Of the unsettled position
of NJ. Caillaux and his financial

that a new proposal can be- made
by November 1, as was expected

IN heavyweight contests, Levin
l. son was always ordered to make
two sets of gloves for each fight

the head with a left and broke
the glove just as though it were
