done to truck crops.
The open season on rabbits begins

squirrels were scarce and recent hard

ranks. The squirrel season opens Oc-

Another time-saving device for the
farmer has been advanced. This time
it is to cross his hens with parrots.
Then when any of them strolled too
far from the old roost, they could ask
the way back again. Also, the farmer
wouldn't have to hunt for the eggs.
When a hen laid an egg she would
walk up to him and say, Hank, l

The only trouble with this device is
that the hens might not stop there
They might stop too often to argue

Kish Babies
Amused by

CHICAGO, Sept. almost
5000 years ago, babies in the old
city Of Kish, in Mesopotamia, were
kept happy with rattles, says Rich
ard A. Martin, archaeologist, of
the Field Museum of Natural His
tory here. Yet, rattles have been
used more by adults than by chill
dren in most lands explored by
science.
Soldiers in ancient China were
stirred by music of bronze rattles
in military orche6tras. African
tribes devised many kinds of rat
ties for use in magical rites.
Egyptians had kind of rattle
called a sistrum, made Of a staff
with metal rings dangling at the
end, and used in solemn religious
ceremonies. American Indians
used rattles in religion and magic.

PERFECT Dir tn
CONTROL TOXIN
PROMISED SOON
New Method Discovered
By British Doctors

NEW YORK, Sept. 2 (C.TP.S0.
Birth control by simple hormonal
injection in a woman's arm. and
effective for two months-that is
promised in the near future by a
group Of British doctors, accord
ing to DR.. Eric D. Matsner, medi-
cal director of the American Birth
Control League, who has just re-
turned from a study of foreign
laboratories.
Safe, painless and 100 per cent
sure, the method already has been
tried successfully on female apes
and monkeys, he said. The con-
elusive experiments will soon be
made on humans.
NEW TECHNIQUE
DR.. Matsner explained that the
new technique was not to be con-
fused with other experiments with
anti-pregnancy injections, notably
the work already done and publ
cized by the Russians as "sperma-
toxin"-a preparation made from
the male germ and injected into
the woman's bloodstream.
Out of Difference to the British
scientists, who soon will publish
a paper on their work, DR.. Mats
ner refused to disclose their
names.
But I think it is time the
public should know about this"
he said, "for it is going to give
humanity a greatly increased
power over its own deStinleS.
1.-THE public should think
about this coming method and
plan not to use it for selfish pur-
poses-it will increase our moral
and religious responsibilities"
METHOD PREDICTED
If the injections are as success
full on humans as they have been
on the higher mammals in the
British laboratory they will solve
an ancient medical dilemma that
is also one of the most controVer-
siaI religious moral and social is
sues Of modern times.
Short of sterilization, there is
no scientifically perfect method of
birth control.
Eighteen months ago Margaret
Sanger, jealous birth control
crusader, predicted a self hypo-
derInic injection within two years.
Only six weeks ago, DR.. Morris
Fishbein, editor of the journal
of the American Medical Associa-
ton, reiterated a prediction of the
same method that would be eftec-
tive "for two or three years"
Presumably, both predictions
were based on the experiments al
ready announced on Spermatoxin.
SEEKS WIDE USE
ut is stupid to talk prema-
turely," DR.. Matsner concluded,
in referring to the British expert
mentS which are being aided by
work here at Columbia and
Johns Hopkins University. "but
in two years some simplified
form of the hormone injection
will be in wide use everywhere"
The hormonal injection is not
retroactive and will not produce
an abortion. 1t is composed Of
extracts taken from animal
adrenal, pituitary and thyroid
glands.

HERE and
THERE
By W. M. Smith

The letter written by an obser-
yer, about Kansas City, Mo-, and
published in this paper last week
has caused some considerable COM
ment. Some who have lived in or
round about Kansas City claim the
commentator was unfair because
he failed to make any mention Of
the high spots of the city; its ex-
cellent schools, its beautiful
churches, and its high type of citi-
zens, reflected in its teachers, bust
nessmen and professionals.
It raises these interesting ques-
tons: Should an observer, passing
through a community, write only of
the things that do that community
honor, or, should he write only of
those things of which it's citizens
are least proud, or should he COM
bine the two and write of them
both.
These questions my readers may
answer, each one for himself; I do
not intend to try and influence that
decision here. But I have a very
deep interest in a thought that
rises in my mind in which I hope
the community can join in single
agreement.
When any city, be it Kansas
City, st. Paul, Minneapolis, Chi
cagO, or New York, has a large
population many of whom in their
thoughts, actions or business re-
feet no credit upon it; a group that
may be spoken of only APOLOGIZE
cally, it is a challenge to its bet
ter element, to its citizens who try
to think right, to do right and who
seek to foster those businesses
which help to influence its younger
people to a higher regard for all
that the world recognizes as worth
while. 1t is an Indictment of its
clergy-its educators, its press and
its intelligence if such things are
allowed to go unchecked and
spread their virus among its peO-
pie; especially it's young people.
