ST. LOUIS, Oct. 15.-Not SO
long ago, Vice President Alben w
Barley made one of his many
speeches at a dinner in MilWau-
kee. AS he was being introduced
a telegram from st. Louis was de-
livered to the head table. This
was the message:
Congratulations on your selec-
ton of Vice President Barley to
address your meeting. I am sure
you will enjoy his company. I do.
Mrs. Carleton S. Hadley.
This carefully staged Interrupt
ton was obviously more gag than
genuine, and it is doubtful that
the pretty st. Louis widow, whose
name has been linked Economically
with that of Mr.. Barkley's, knew
of the message until he showed it
to her on his next visit. However,
it is also highly probable that the
message expressed her sentiments
pretty well. Hostess to Mr.. Bark
ley on his seven highly publicized
visits to st. Louis, Jane Hadley,
who first met the Weep" last sum-
mer when she vacationed in Wash
ington, has given every indication
of enjoying his company.
Intentions Anybody's Guess.
Whether or not their intentions
are matrimonial is still anybody's
guess. For a long time, Mrs. Had
ley's friends were inclined to dis
count talk of anything serious,
with they don't know each other

quaintances." Now. many of them
have reached the don't quote me,

stage. And. unanimously, they
agree that the Weep" would be a
very lucky man should he succeed
in making Mrs. Hadley the second
lady Of the land.
Jane Hadley, according to those
who know her well, has got every
thing. Initiative enough to have
become an Office worker and
breadwinner for her family when
her husband died unexpectedly,
leaving her with two daughters
(Anne, II; jamie, 14) to rear.
Poise and culture enough to move
in select social circle after her
Notwithstanding hours, plus
brains enough to be a definite
conversational asset. Besides all
that. she's good looking enough
to have attracted many masculine

said. "The task Of buying ever

ing to Britain in large numbers
to enjoy the benefits of the well
fare state" DR.. Barnes said.

Europe. We must educate our
citizens to have smaller families,
we must have medically con-
trolled sterilization of the grosser
forms of unf1tness."
DR.. Barnes said many Britons
are coming around to the view
that there should be medically
controlled euthanacia - mercy

added:
"At least 30 per cent of feeble
mindedness is inherited. A time
is quickly coming when steriliza-
ton Of the unfit will have to be
essential in our social organiza-
ton. Such sterilization may well
be in fact the complement of the
welfare state.

We must give all possible help to
the poor and unfortunate. But
we must not let the welfare state
spoil rather than improve the
