 Limping Logic
 One would not expect an intelli- gent person to object that contra ception. or Birth Prevention, Is not any more unnatural than getting your hair cut. wearing glasses, or cutting down trees to build houses. Yet the Birth Prevention propagan- dists do so with straight faces. It is an Indication of how thin their knowledge and logic have worn.
 So childish Is such an assertion that 1t seems almost childish to re- ply to it. Yet. 50 many have re- peatec it, that apparently they are somewhat impressed by the almost obvious sophistry.
 Birth Prevention is morally bad, not because 1t is unnatural in the sense of human artifice and skill ex- ercised to redirect irrational nature to serve man better. Birth Preven- ton is morally bad because 1t uses natural, normal function and then defeats and illustrates 1t. It Is not skillful redirection of nature; 1t IS defeatist Illustration and destruction of normal nature.
 It seems almost unbelievable that anyone should fail to see that there Is hierarchy In created things. in which the lower serves the higher, and all serve man on earth. All ir- rational nature serves its natural function when 1t serves the needs is ,,,Afjtfiasi kv tta pL iii af t,an ft is sign of tho most object mental poverty not to be able to see that artifice exercised upon materials and irrational animals Is vastly dif- ferent from the artificial defeat of normal function in being of nor al, rational significance--man. There is an infinite difference between stopping the flow of river, to build hydro-electrlc plant, and stopping the flow of human semen to It's proper terminus in the vic.ouS process of preventing the net Of human reproduction from produce ing new life. It would be the sign of the dolt not to perceive that vast difference. ..,.
 If the Birth Preventers have their way, the world will be truly upsioe down. Even the textbooks of biology and physiology will have to be re- vised. Up to now, all science books have universally named the sex or- gans according to their primary purpose: the organs of reproduc- tion.' Under the thumb of the Birth Preventer these organs should be named according to Birth Preventionism's version of their pri- mary purpose: "the organs Of pleasure"
 However, such @ change in nom. enclature will probably not take place, for the Birth Preventers have, this many year, been eroeavoring to assassinate not only new life but also logic and truth. For their de- structive achievefnents in this field, I suggest that there be conferred upon them the degree of D.LL.-- Doctors of Limping Logic.
 Social and Civic Responsibility
 Apart from every consideration of even natural morality, their evident heedlessness of consequences dis qualities the Birth Preventers from any position of leadership in civil life.
 They have no concern for the fact that their activity. for the last gen. eration, in this land has made the people contraceptive conscious: the wrong people-the best-equirped to have children. It Is only now that they are waking up to the fact that their bungling, irresponsible propa- ganda has helped decimate the best and multiplied the worst. On their own admission, contraceptives, even in clinics, have proved an almost universal failure in the truly "mor- on" groups. They are apparently be- ginning to heed the warning given. several years ago by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company,S pr. Louis I. Dublin: "The Birth Control move ment will have much to answer for, unless it can square its account with the American people by em- phasizing, at this very time. the need for corrective5 of it's own &C., tivities in earlier years. It has placed bundles of dynamite all over the country. It Is now high time that it began to bring them back, or, at least, to remove the fuses"
 Unc0ncerned
 They seem totally unconcerned that their efforts are soon going to give us a population top-heavy with elderly people-men and women over sixty-five years of age-and woe fully deficient in youths under twenty and children under five years of age. They seem to have no concern at all for what that will do to our national economy. Far from
