SELECTION, NOT
CONTROL, SEEN
AS BIRTH NEED
AbIeSt Couples Should Have
at Least Four Children,
Scientist Says.

~ Science 6erttce
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Birth Sc
lection, not birth control, is the
great and pressing need of the hu-
man race today.
The ablest and most intelligent
people, who today are limiting their
families to less than enough chill
dren 10 replace their numbers are
the very ones who should be en-
couraged and enabled to have at
least four children to the couple.
Birth control should play only a
subsidiary role in eugenics, for it is
a negative rather than a positive
factor At present its social effects
are distinctly bad, and even in the
unlikely event that all classes were
persuaded to practice it equally, its
effects could be no better than
merely neutral.
This, in summary, is the central
theme of the keynote" address of
the third international congress of
eugenics, presented before its gen.
eral assembly Monday night by DR..
Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of
the American Museum of Natural
History and honorary vice. president
Of the congress.
Follows Darwin Trend
AS the truth of evolution was i'm
pressed upon Charles Darwin by
things he saw during voyage
around the world, so the need for
population control by selection and
encouragement of its flttest ele-
ments was impressed upon DR.. Os-
born as a result of world voyage
which he completed recently.
Everywhere, he said, he saw evi-
dence of overpopulation, overpro-
duction and unemployment-har-
bors full of empty ships in tpe
South Seas as we'll as in the ports
of Europe, and men standing idle
in the market place all day long.
AS he analyzed the situation, it
resolved itself into six overs:
Overdestruction of natural re-
sources, over mechanization Of in
dustry, overconstruction of means of
transport, overproduction Of COM
modities, overconfdence in future
demand and supply, and overpopu-
lation, with the consequent unem-
ployment of the least fitted.
Birth Control Not Remedy
However, although he differed
with some other scientists whose
views he quoted, in regarding over
population as existing to a serious
degree, even in the United States,
DR.. Osborn refused to recognize
birth control as a sovereign remedy. |
Birth control, primarily designed |
to prevent overpopulation of the
unfittest or dysgenic, may prove to
be a two-edged sword, eliminating
alike the flttest and the unfittest,"
he said. II have in mind the |
French, among whom birth control
has been practiced in the upper |
classes for centuries, with disastrous
racial results.
MY doubts about the present
propaganda and purpose of the
birth control movement are that
they are SO largely negative and
death-dealing, rather than positive
and birth-encouraging."

have a proxy Governor who has no
tie but that of greed and gold"
The Fergusons' offer of "twc
governors for the price Of one
stands today as it did in 1924 when
former Governor James E. GARNER
JIM Ferguson first coined the
slogan for his wife's campaign.
If Mrs. Ferguson wins. she will
enter the White House of Texas for
the third time. Her husband served
as Governor from 1915 until he was
impeached in 1917. Ma" was elected
in 1924, but fo'ied to win in the
1925 and 1880 elections.
In political "off-seasons" Mrs.
Ferguson is quite homebody.
When the voting season opens she
joins her husband in a campaign
tour of the state.
In the first primary last month
she piled up a lead of 10000 votes
over Governor Sterling.
The political unknown of the run
of campaign is the 100000 block Of
votes polled by Tom F. Hunter, in
dependent oil man, who ran third in
the first primary. A majority vote
is necessary to nominate in Texas.
Jim FerguSon's attack on Sterl-
ings businessman administration"
of Texas affairs has centered on the
state highway commission.
Meanwhile, Republican forces in
Texas, strengthened by the Demo-
cratic bolt to Hoover of 1928, quietly
prepare their plans to put Re-
publican in the Governors chair for
the first time in Texas history.
They nominated Orville Bulling-
ton, Wichita Falls oil man, as their
candidate. and are confident of vic
tory if MA" Ferguson becomes the
Democratic r~--'nee Aug. 27.

 YOURSELF
Be Careful in Using DepIIalvrlrs
By Alicis Hart
Hl9sgNYNEEKH7ET77

Be Careful ln Using DepiinfVrsrs Just because you aren't wearing q bathing suit on the beach these chill autumn days. don't think you can quit using depiiatories. No wel1-groomed woman allows herself to neglect this important item.
 Thefe are many different depil- atories that are easier to use than the constant shaving of the legs and under-arms.
 There Is one important bit of ad- vice you must take to heart before using any depilatory--read the di- rections very carefully and follow them implicitly.
 As a mater of fact, 1t Is good thing to read the directions clear through first, then read them again as you start to use them Most of these aids to good groom ing must be used in a certain way, at certain stated intervals and in certain amounts. It Is foolish to spend money for them and not get the full benefit from them.
 For unwanted fuzz on theAu per lip, my advice is not to do one single thing about 1t yourself un- til you have consulted 8 specialist. have known women successfully to remove fuzz from their lips or on the under part of their chins with depilatories. But do not advise 1t unless you do so with a physicians or q beautician's con- sent.

normal again, and to keep him warm and quiet. Meanwhile we shall treat him for tonsilitis, and, after q few days, when he is better, we shall take him up to the throat specialist at the clinic to have his throat carefully examined. It may be that, like Claire, Robert would be better off without his tonsils. But I doubt if he really needs to have them removed.
 The following day 1 went to see Robert again and found him so much better that his mother was having hard time keeping him in bed. He wanted to get up and go to nursery school: he wanted to play with Claire's kitten; he want ed to have his baby brother in bed with him-"just to look att. Of course Mrs Johnson had to ex- plain that 1t would never do for Robert to give his cold to Baby John or to the children at school or to the kitten. He must be c good boy, and then, when morning came, if his cold was quite better, he could get up and play with kit- tie in the garden.

ROBERT IS THREATENED WITH "MASTOID"

7 This week Robert Johnson did something he hasn't done since he was tiny baby. He gave his mo- ther sleepless night! The first I knew of 1t was q frantic telephone call which came just as was sit- ting down to breakfast. Mrs John- son was sure Robert was develop ing mastoiditis, and would please come round as early as I could ? Of course I hurried off at once, and found a flushed and slightly feverish Robert sitting up in bed, wrapped in his blue bathrobe, and an anxious, heavy-eyed Mrs John- son filling hot water bags.
 ''It's his right ear, Doctor" OK. claimed Mrs Johnson almost be- l fore had got inside the door; "al
 last night he kept saying 1t hurt him, and he was so restless and queer that | had to sit up with him." Well, she herself looked considerably more upset than Robert did. but I examined him thoroughly for any trace of mas- toiditis. Sure enough there was q
 little tenderness behind Roberts right ear and he was running q slight temperature. But the most obvious thing wrong with him was q decided cold and sore throat. His tonsils too were swollen. I asked Mrs Johnson how long he had had the cold and sore throat and 1t ap- peared that Robert had been un- der the weather for several days. but that Mrs Johnson hadn't thought anything serious until the pain in his ear started. And of course the sleepless night hadn't helped her fears at all!
 don't believe in discussing q child in his presence. so after making Robert comfortable with his favorite picture book, and tell ing him we would be back in a few minutes, Mrs Johnson and I went into Baby Johns room. I told her that I didn't think there was the slightest fear of mastoid in Rob-

repaid & thousandfold any little in- copvenience I had suffered. So it was in a slightly chastened frame of mind that I explained how Rob- ert was stifferingg from a severe cold and San attack of tonsilitis. Now it's perfectly true that mas toiditis may be a complication of repeated attacks of tonsilitis, and If Robert were neglected at this time, the little ear infection which he has might possibly develop into a serious mastoid condition. But Robert won't be neglected. 1 warned Mrs Johnson to keep him in bed until his temperature was

JOAN GIFTS A SHOCK
 AND A PROPOSAL

 What's the matter, Joan" Da- vid Harter asked.
 But Joan didn't hear him. Her eyes were followed that tall, broad-shouldered back. It was Phili Phil with another grill And Phil was hers! He could. nit be in this dining room with somebody else. Not after all the times that she had been here with him.
 She relaxed, wont a little limp. She had come with somebody else. She had tried to capture some old magic. She had told Phil that she wouldn't marry him and he had said that he would go away. and not come back. She knew that she shouldn't be surprised. She had arranged that act. But something, deep inside of her, deeper than ever the memory of David Harter had been, was stir ring.
 There was relief with 1t, too. David Harter didn't matter. She knew now. She wondered why she had ever thought he did. Maybe he did want her, but he had wanted the words .she might write. even more.
 Let's sit down. she said.
 You used to like to dance," he answered.
 T still do. I'm just tired to- night" She was thinking of only one thing. She had to see Phil. She had to tell him that she had been mistaken; that he, and he alone, mattered. Maybe he had taken her at her word, and found another grill If hearts on the re- bound were easily caught, perhaps he had. But Phil was made of firmer stuff that thati He couldn't give up so easily. He loved her!
 She sat down and strained to see him.
 She found his table. She couldn't see the woman with him. She caught Q glimpse of Phirs profile, now and then. as he moved. She wondered if he would see her. She didn't look back again. for long time, because she didn't want to meet his eyes. She was afraid to. If his glance was indifferent she believed that she woud cry--or faint---or scream. She would not be able to sit calmly.
 She talked. So did David. She sensed that he was asking her to collaborate on another song.
 I'm too busy" she answered. T have my tea room. D
 Your tea room! Holy smoke. as though that amounts to anything. ntuA fk T~gn ~-.r l.. Il place for you in song publishing"
 Only the night before she would have been thrilled at such an idea. The work itself, the proximity to David. would have influenced her. But tonight they did not matter.
 David, how do we ever know what we want?" she asked irrele- vanity.
 "Women never do. They change their minds every hour" he an- swered.
 I'm beginning to understand why women are accused of being chanReable mentally" she answer ed. Her eyes had deepened their blue. and the golden yellow of her gown gave them fire-points. Her face was flushed. She cupped her face in her hands and watched the man. not seeing him. Hut while we want someone. or something, we want 1t so dreadfully badly"
