Staff Correspondent) , Sacramento, Calif—The flapper wife, flippant and decollete though she may be. does not scorn motherhood! She’s still a mother at heart, ruled by the instinct maternal and enslaved by the patter of baby feet, according ! to L. E. Ross, Chief of California's in- j fant census bureau. In one respect, motherhood has j changed. Ross admits. The modern 1 girls limits her family, usually fixing 1 a limit that permits parents and; children to roll about in a flve-passen- ( ger car without crowding. But childless marriages in Califor- ‘ nia at least, are few and far between. Though she violates all the stan- [‘ dards that are dear to the heart of a J mother-in-law, the California wife is a ; ! mother none the less and a good one.! 1 Only 6.5 per cent of all California marriages are childless Ross' survey t 1 shows and in some cases these are in- 1 voluntary. California's birth rate is lower than j | that for the nation as a whole, Ross explains, but that is due to the size of families— not to wives scorning motherhood. Thirty-two per cent of California mothers have only one child. And the average family varies from two to three children, while in the country generally the average is more than three. - 0 Carnival Worker Slain Logansport, Ind., July 30. —(INS) — Cass couilTy autorifles today were ■without, a clew to the identity of the Slayer of Stanley Ross, 25, of Indianapolis who was shot down and killed in an argument Friday night at the local carnival grounds.

(S\ Mon Ealing Candy, Omitting C igarettes, Women Smoke More (By International News Service) , London, July 30.—Men aro eg ling more candy and smoking less. Women are smoking more and eating fewer candles. This marked change in the habit of men and women was revealed at the annual Chocolate and Conf‘ etlonery Exhibition here, when exhibition bemoaned the fact that the boyish silhouette among women does not encourage the eating of sweetmeats. "Women and girls are now eating fewer i candies compared with the days before it became fashionable to tie thin," said one exhibitor, “it is not that they do not like candy just as much, but they have an idea it will make them fat. The money they once spent on candy they will now spend on cigarettes. "On the other hand, the candy habit acquired by many men during the world war has survived, ami w> find the male is a large purchaser of sweetmeats nowadays. Consequently he is smoking less." , ; The national anthem is an extremely good band piece and is usually the best played air in all band repertoires. The reversal of the usual order was first introduced to the country by the Goldman band of New York, when the director became disgusted with the nightly accompaniment of the whirring motors of departing audienebs. The La Porte band reports that the change is effective and no disturbance occurs during the rendition of the imtriotic air. —, Marion Women Anxious To Risk Lives In Aerial Stunt At Airport Opening MARION, Ind., July 30—(INS) Nine young local women have already signified themselves w illing to take I a oliance with their lives, hanging from- a swiftly moving plane, suspended by a frail pair of silk stock ings, according to Sig Smith, daredevil stunt pilot who will pick the young woman who assist in the dangerous stunt. he nine, young women who have reported at the Junior Chamber of Commerce that they are not only willing but anxious to risk their neck;; which is to be performed at the opening of the Junior Chamber of Commerce Airport, here.
