ASCERTAIN ELECTION DIS
COuRAGES BETTING
By CHARLES r. STEWART

by OhAhLES Il. STEWART
NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.-Old-tim-
ers in Wall Street say they never
say so little betting on q president
ial election rs this one.
Which is peculiar. considering how
interested the public seems 70 be.
Brokers had expected IL 70 be a
campaign of record-breaking stakes.
The odds started nc two and a halt
TO one in Hoover's favor.
If these early offers had been
freely covered this wide margin "
difference between the two candi-
dates would have been cut down very
quickly. until today the rate probab-
IN would not be far from fifty
fifty.
Instead there we're practically no
takers.
The result Is that the original
two-and-a-half-to-one quotation still
prevails.
WaEers on past elections. as far
back a. the most venerable brok-
ers can remember, have totalled well

BIRTH CONTROL ADVOCATED TO DECREASE
MATERNAL MORTALITY
By MRS. MARGARET SANGER

Founder. American Birth Control League.
Margaret Sanger was born at Corning, n. w.
Sept. IA. 1853. She was educated at Corning and
Clsverack college AZ Hudson. n. IT. later attending
Nurses Training school Of White Plains hospital
and Post Graduate school Of the Manhattan Eye
and Ear hospital. She was editor and publisher
Of The Woman Rebel, a monthly magazine in 1915.
and since 1917 has been editor Of Birth Control
Review. an organ Of the American Birth Control
league. She has been arrested and indicted for
her activities in the birth control movement.
though nothing resulted in either case. In 1922
she established birth control leagues in Japan and
china. She was president CT the American Birth
Control league until recently when she resigned.
and is the author OF several books on sex hygiene.
Her home is in New York City,.

Statistics en- the subject AZ maternal mortality are
OF doubtful value. but the record shows that. in 1925.
647 mothers died o. every 100000 live births.
Work to lower the death date Of mothers in child
birth has been ineffective In the last ten years, and
have advocated proper birth control as the solution 81
the problem.
In 1926 6s6 mothers in every 100000 gave their
lives. Since then there has been no decline in these
figures. which include only about rs per cent Of the
total population OF the United States.
I have been interested in this problem since 1914.
and il was my interest in this particular aspect Of the
situation that led TO the beginnings Of a birth-control
movement. I feel now that the time has come when 7
can turn over to others the organisation, legislative
and educational features OF active birth-control work.
As I have long wished to do. 7 will devote myself
% q scientific study Of th- causes and cures of this
terrific sacrifice Of the lives Of Collaborating women.
I feel confident that q serious study will lead TO a
scientific demonstration Of the fact the. maternal
mortality can be reduced by the application Of birth
control knowledge.
Infant mortality in the United States has been ap-
preciably lowered in the last ten years. but nothing
Of consequence has been accomplished in lowering the
death rate Of mothers.
I am preparing 20 spend Q period Of from three 70
five years in the collection of material, in sociological
Investigation and in gathering facts generally peril
nent to the situation. In this work ! will have the aid
and cooperation OF some Of the foremost authorities
IN the world.
