BIRTH CONTROL KILLING AMERICAN
 BEAUTY AND BRAINS, AUTHOR SAYS
Of 800 "Follies Girls Who Married Only 25 Had Chil- dren 49 Famous Actresses Wed and Three Have
 Babies; Vassar Alumnae Average 1.1 Per Cent.

New York, Sept. % UP)-Birth control is depriving America of it's beauty and brains. the country was warned in a book published here today.
 The authors are Professor Els worth Huntington of Yale and Leon r. Whitney. executive secretary of the American Eugenics society. The book is The Builders of America"
 As an example of eliminating beauty. the authors said that Of 500 'Follies" girls who married only 25 had children.
 Among actresses, out of 69 of them listed in Who's Who," 4S married and only three had children -- one eacn.
 As an example Of what birth con- trol is doing to eliminate brains, the authors said that @.294 Nassar Col lege alumnae averaged II children. and the wives of 10,696 Harvard graduates average Is children.
 The average for the entire race is i.5 per family.
 The authors attributed the decline in birth rate among the "builders" 10 the fashionable belief that it is not good form to have many Chil- dren,' to kitChenette apartments and difficult economic conditions

 It was as q result Of MulliEan's undue attention 10 Feathers" that he his met death at the hands of Weed. Apparently the latter does not regret his action. for he has never complained, either during the trial or since his almost soli- tary confinement.
 Yet, he cannot help but know that since his sentence "Feathera" and "Rolls- Royce" have been seen constantly together. To the under world this means but one thing they have fallen" for one another and deserted Weed just when he de- po nded on them most. When 1ues- toned about this report, Weed re- fused to comment. Have they for gotten him or is their association a sham to fool the authorities? The roliCo are questioning tho pair with the purpose of solving this problem at once. Did they plan the getaway last night-or was 1t due to Weeds own fearless ingenuity? It seems almost impossible that his escape will be permanent, vet the under world seems to think otherwise, for during his entire career he has all ways outwitted the authorities and his luck seems almost unbeatable. !

 To "balance the repair" between the large families Of so-Called in- ferior groups and the small families among the so-called better classes the authors recommended that birth control be legalized 10 keep down the numbers in the former groups.
 At the present rate, in five genera tions 900 fathers Of the "huildcr" or brain worker class will leave only -9 descendants, the authors said. An equal number of the skilled artisan type will leave 152, semi skilled manual type 255. and un- skilled type 47o.

Many Catholics Die in Defense
 Of Religion

Mexico City, Sept ce R,-Dis- patches today told of actions involy- Ing Mexican federal troops in wide ly separated regions Of the republic and for as widely varied reasons.
 In the state of Jalisco, on the west coast, troops fought two engage ments with rebels described as catholic fanatics" this term has re- peatedly appeared in military com- muniques since the outbreak of the struggle over the governments re- llgious regulations. Catholic leaders however, have consistently stated that their struggle was a peaceful ono and that their followers were not authorized to use force.
 Thirty-four rebels were killed In the two combats. the first one at Los uelo. In the Los Mezquites fight the rebels. headed by "a Catholic priest, Father Sedano," resisted the troops from entrenchments for four hours before fleeing, with the loss of II killed. Two. including Sedano, were captured and executed.
 In the second cement. o5o reb- els under Alberto Parajas, Francisco Losa Zaragoza and Jesus Nunez, attacked federals under Colonel Or tis Sevila. Repulsed, they fled to the mountains, leaving IS dead and many wounded.
 In the neighboring state of Nay arit. troops have been ordered to protect American lives and property at tho Amajac gold and silver mines near 1xtlan Del Rio.
 Across the country, on the east coast, troops have left Vera Cruz for Jalapa, capital of Vera Cruz state with the reported object of deposing the state governor. Heriberto lara in pursuance to resolution adopted by the state legislature.
 The legislatures action Is said to be connected with the strike of school teachers which began in Vera Cruz Monday, with the support of the la bor unions, 10 enforce a demand for payment of overdue salaries.
 The charge by Candido Aguilar former foreign minister, that Nen- ustiano CarranaZ met his death in the 1920 revolution at the hands of General Rodolfo Herrero has drawn from Herrero a demand to public proof of the accusation.
 Unless Senor Aguidar publicly proves his charge, General Hcrrero declares. he will challenge him to a duel and, If a meeting of honor is declined, will give him a thrashing.
