VIC. j. PREPARES
TOPLAN CAMP Align
Will Elect Officers and Decide
on Strategy Before Con-
vention Ends

Seattle, Aug. 17-(P)-Nearing the
national conventions since prohibi-
ton became part of the federal con-
stitution, the Women's Christian
Temperance Union set about to elect
officers and decide upon plan of
political strategy Wednesday. The
session will end Thursday night.
Candidates mentioned for presi-
dent are Mrs. Ella A. Boole, of
Brooklyn, N. Y, the incumbent; Mrs.
Ida B. Wise Smith of Des Moines,
Iowa, vice president; Mrs. Nellie G.
Burger of Springfield, Mo-, assistant
recording secretary, and Mrs. Lillian
M. Vincent of Seattle, president of
the west Washington w. C. T. u.
The program of political action
proposed by Mrs. Boole and other
leaders of the union would call for
a hands off policy in the presiden-
tial battle and for determined eff
fort to elect dry candidates for con-
gress and state legislatures.
In the unions old-fashioned ora
torical contest Tuesday night, Miss
Edith Stickney Farrand, Minneapolis,
won the diamond medal from a field
OF five other contestants. Miss Far
rand recited DR.. Harry E. Fosdick's
The Prohibition Question"
Mrs. James M. Doran, of Washing
ton, D. c., wife of the head of the
bureau of industrial alcohol, told the
convention Wednesday there would
be more profit for some of the grape
growers if they would put as much
energy in getting alcoholic fruit
products to the people as they have
tried to put on the questionable en-
terprise of showing people how to vio-
late the law"
Society is going in for alcoholic
drinks, she declared which are not
a product of the bootleggers' black art,
break no law and lead no one into the
paths of ruin
Official Washington society,"" she
said, serves notwithstanding fruit
drinks; at the at home functions of
cabinet officers wives, for instance,
delightful fruit drinks are served; and
it is becoming more and more a mat
ter OF routine everywhere throughout
the country to serve fruit drink
during dinner"

Editors Note: This Is the 18th
of 20 daily articles explaining the
new federal taxes.

Copyright, 1892, NEA Service, Inc.)
Uncle Sam needs $160, 1000, 900 more
from his postoffice department this
year as its contribution toward the
$1,118,50O, 900 in additional revenue
required to balance the federal bud
get.
Consequently, 1t now costs you 8
cents to mail letter, instead Of the
old rate Of 2 cents. This, and vari-
Gus increases in airlnail and second
class rates, is scheduled to provide
the extra money.
Business houses and publishers will
bear most of this new expense.
But let's see what the new letter
postage rate will cost the average
family when it comes to writing Cou-
sin John, Uncle Bob and Aunt Min
ME and mailing the monthly check
to the gas company, the electric COM
pany and other places. If the aver
age family mails seven letters week,
or one a day, this means $685. more
in the course Of a year-or 1886 in
the case of leap year like 1882.
If you want to be economical, post
cards dncluding picture post cards.
can still be sent for penny.
Airmail postage is increased from
cents to 8 cents for the first ounce
and from 10 cents to 10 gents for each
additional ounce.
The three-cent letter postage also
applies to business reply envelopes,
which carry an additional service
charge of ! cent.
The increase in second-class mail
rates applies only to "the advertis-
ing portion of any publication en-
tered as second-class matter" The
increase on the advertising content
ranges from 1-2 cent per pound in
the first and second zones to 3 cents
in the eighth zone. The rate per
pound on reading matter (non-ad-
vertising content) is unchanged.

By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE

WASHINGTON, April 14.-The high cost of raising children in the cities is now worrying economiSts as well as urban parents.
 For this cost, say those econ omists apprehensive over the prob lem of gauging mass production to a prospective stationary popu- lation is probably the majol cause of a swiftly declining birth rate.
 The trend to stationary, or de creasing. population is manife1t they assert, not only in the Unit ed States but almost everywhere in the Occident.
 Dr. Oliver E. Baker, economist of the Department of Agriculture whose speciality is the relation of population to land utilization, says the decline is definitely associated with industrial development and city life.
 Scracity of Children
 As the chief reason for the reIa- tive scarcity of children in the cities he cites a recent survey made by an insurance company which showed that it co5t about $9,0C0 to raise a city child to the age of Is for a family with an income of $2,500 a year.
 Tt requires about three chil- dren family to maintain even ] stationary population, and it ap- pears for a typical urban family to raise three children will cost 3z5 900 to S3G,0o0, f1s said.
 Dr Baker paints out that ur- ban conditions of living very often
