BIRTH CONTROL TO BE STUDIED Conference on in New York From Nov. 11 to 13. | NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—The problem of securing legislation In the various States so that birth control clinics can be opened in them will be one of the Important measures considered at the first American Birth-Control Conference to be held at the Hotel Plaza, New York City, Not. 11, 12 and 13. The program as planned for the conference will be cn exhaustive one and will consist of a health session at which will be considered “Psychic Suppression—lts Kesmlts,” "Individual and Racial Health —Eugencies,” a Social Problems Today session, considering "Human Waste,' "Delinquency’" and "Labor's Attitude Toward Birth Control,” a private session for the medical profession, admission by invitation only; an overpopulation * and war session, considering the "World Food Problems" and “Disarmament and Defense.” A special session will be devoted to considering the legal aspects of birth control in America and to organizing and securing legislation so that clinics can be held. IMPORTANT SESSION ON NOV. 13. One of the important sessions of the conference will be the mass meeting to be held at the town hall Sunday. Nov. 13, where a discussion on “Birth Control; I* Jt Moral?” will be held._ It will be led by Margaret Sanger aft Harold Cox, former member of the British Parliament and editor of tie Edinboro Review. At thin mass meeting the opponents of birth control will be given the opportunity of presenting their side of the case and opinions have been secured from prominent Americans on the question. They will be read at the meeting " “That we can hold such a meeting out In the open shows how the birth control movement has grown,” said Mrs. Sanger. “Started as an aid to women Jt has become recognized as one of tbo big problems of the world today and Is engaging the attention of statesmen and economists of every nation. “It is safe to say that the race would be better today and there would have been no World War had the problem of birth control been Intelligently considered balsa century ago. It Is a fact long recognized by medical science that where there are only a few children In a family their health Is better and they can be given better attention by the mother than where there are many. The high death rate among Infants of less than a year old has been due, in the past, to the fact that the mother has brought too many children into the world and cannot give them the initial supply of health necessary to win out in the battle of life. She has lowered her <-wn vitality and In addition to being unable to give the Initial supply of health, he cannot give the attention required. FEWER CHILDREN; WORLD BETTER. “We think the world will be better off having fewetl i-hildren. to whom proper attention can be given. In the end the result Is the same. To have four or five children in a family and have them all reach maturity, with the mother's health unimpaired, is better than to have a dozen children and have only four or five of them reach maturity, at the cost of the mother s life. We think there should only be as many children in the family a can be properly taken care of In a mental, moral and physical way. We want to build the health and minds of our citizens and make the world a better place In which to live.” The officials of the first American Birth Control conference are as follows: Marvaret Sanger, chairman: Juliet Barry Ruble, vice chairman: Anne Kennedy, executive secretary: Clara Louise Rowe, extension secretary: Frances B. Ackerman, treasurer: Mrs. Donald R. Hooker, chairman of sessions: Harriett E. Dllla, chairman of exhibits: Sara E. Nieman, chairman of hospitality. PROMINENT women TAKE PAF-X.
