ANGELL FORECASTS
CONTROL OF BIRTHS
Yale President Tells Surgeons
Measures Will Be Found
to Diminish Misery.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. October 17. —Birth con
trol to diminish the number of chil
dren of the “seriously unfit" as well as
to limit the population was forecast
last night by President James R. An
gell of Yale University.
“What genetics may do to breed out
strains and so further diminish need
less human misery, no one can predict,”
Dr. Angell told the American College
of Surgeons at is annual convocation.
“But it is unthinkable that reason
able out drastic measures will not be
found to diminish the number of births
of the serlouslv unfit, to say nothing
of controlling birth in excess of -the
possibilities of a well conditioned popu
lation.” ~ ,
Dr. Angell urged that the essential
value of physicians and surgeons to the
community should not be crippled “by
dubious restrictions."
Dr Allen B. Kanavel of Chicago, in
coming president, said education of the
public was the only effective method
in combatting quackery. In some
States, he added, “the number of
quacks equals the number of those prac
tising scientific medicine.”
Six hundred forty-seven candidates,
elected to fellowships in the college,
were welcomed; honorary fellowships
were awarded to Prof. Hans von
Haberer of Cologne, Germany; Prof.
Arthur H. Burgess of Manchester. Eng
land, and Sir Charles Gordon-Watson
of London.
Dr. Franklin H. Martin, director gen
eral of the college, was presented with
the decoration of “commendatore" of
the crown of Italy by the Italian gov
ernment. The decoration was conferred
bv Emanuale Grazzi, Italian consul gen
eral. for achievements of international
Importance in surgery and particularly
for activities in behalf of Italy during
the World War.
Dr. H. H. Ogilvie of San Antonio,
Tex., was given a life fellowship in the
college, worth SSOO. for presenting the
best set of case records in surgery,
gynecology and obstetrics.
On the honor list were Dr. Charles
Teel of Bellingham, Wash.: Dorsey
Brannan of Morgantown. W. Va.: Roger
C. Graves of Boston, and Dr. Harold A.
Furlong of Pontiac, Mich.
SPAIN OVERTHROWS
OLD DIVORCE LAWS
Provision in Constitution Gives
Women Equal Standing in
Marital Relations.
By the Associated Press.
MADRID. October 17.—A provision
permitting the granting of divorce to
either men or women for “just cause”
was incorporated in the new Spanish
constitution today.
The National Assembly by a vote of
IG9 to 153 thus overthrew laws against
divorce which had been in effect for
centuries and placed women on an
equal footing with men in thg regula
tion of marital relations. Tho grounds
for a decree were not specified further.
Catholic Deputies who have boycotted
the Assembly because of anti-rcllgious
legislation, described the measure as
"another indication of the attempt of
leftists to revolutionize Spanish life en
tirely.”
Papal Nuncio Federico Tedeschini
said the status of the church was "the
gravest in the history of the republic,”
but predicted no Immediate rupture in
the relations between the Vatican and
Spain.
Foreign Minister Alejandro Lerroux
was advanced by the leader of the Rad
ical Republican party as its candidate
to oppose President Manuel Azanar In
presidential elections which are ex
pected to follow the enactment of the
complete constitution.
RESIDENTS ARE URGED
TO FILE INTENTIONS!
Montgomery G. 0. P. Warns That
Declarations Must Be in Novem
ber 7 for 1932 Election.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md„ October 17 —Hun
dreds of Montgomery County residents, •
principally in the area bordering on the j
District cf Columbia, are being notified
by the Republican State Central Com- ,
mit tee for the county, of which Paul 1
Sleman of Chevy Chase is chairman, I
to appear before the clerk of the Circuit
Court for the county before November
7 and declare their intention of be
coming citizens of the county, other
wise thev may be debarred from par- ,
tlclpating in the presidential election j
next year.
A very large majority of those to
whom notices are being sent registered
last, year and participated in last Fall's
election. When they registered, how
ever. it was on the theory that under
an act of the preceding legislature
declaration of intentirn was not neces
sary. but the Maryland Court of Ap
peals decided that the act referred to
was unconstitutional on the ground
that it did not apply to the whole
State. Many, therefore, of last year's
registrants are improperly tn the regis
tration books and under a ruling of the ;
Attorney General of Maryland may be |
disqualified from participation in next
year's election unless they declare their
intention and are reregistered.
After making a declaration of inten
tion. a prospective veter must reside in i
the county continuously for one year
before being entitled to register, and ar>
next year's election falls on November
8 the’declaration must be made on or
before November 7 of this year.

Campus Hint
I FRESHES TOLD HOW TO
LOOK LIKE SENIORS.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. October 17.—A new,
shin- sophistication? That's a fresh
-1 man! , .
Naivete—Backed by four years of hard
work at it? That's a senior at Barnard
College for women.
The Barnard bulletin tells the freshles
how to avoid the odium of appearing
like freshles.
"Do not have your picture taken in
a Eugenie hat. Think of mother In the
soup plates of 1910 and make this a
vow.
"Do not gape at every airplane that
pass over the campus. If you refuse
to notice a dirigible your reputation is
' made.
“Remember that your language should
be inelegant but not rowdy. This, and
the above precepts, should make you
what the college senior is today.”
JUVENILE PROBLEM
STUDIES ARE URGED
Sanford Bates Makes Pro
posal Before National Con
ference at Baltimore.
By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE. October 17. —A proposal
that heads of juvenile corrective insti
tutions study the problems confronting
Federal authorities in dealing with boys
and girls who come under their juris
diction w'as made yesterday before the
National Conference of Juvenile
Agencies by Sanford Bates, director of
the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Mr. Bates declared that while At- j
torney General Mitchell and other
Federal officials have for more than a
year been working to perfect a system
for dealing with juveniles, the aid of
heads of the various institutions would
go a long way toward solving the prob
lems.
Three Report Subjects.
Specific points on which the various
institution heads were asked to report
were formulation of a policy for han
dling children in their own States, their
detention in homes rather than in
Federal jails pending hearings, and
their commitment to Institutions in
their own States rather than in Federal
prisons when found guilty.
Social objectives for juveniles and :
the development of their Interest ]
through guidance were urged by Dr.
: C. E. Partch of the School of Educa
! tion, Rutgers University, in an ad
dress before the conference.
“There is still a great lack of under
standing fs to just what is meant by
a comprehensive guidance program.”
Dr. Partch said. “It should include al'.
gainful occupations and the giving of
information, guidance and advice in the
choosing of an occupation, preparing
for it, entering it and making advance
in it.”
Blames Dry I-aw.
Blame for much of the juvenile de
linquency of today was placed by Judge
T. Scott Offutt of the Maryland Cfiurt
of Appeals, on the eighteenth amend
ment in an address before the confer
ence.
“The eighteenth amendment and the
State and Federal legislation in aid of
it brought in their train opportunities
which seemed to promise a life ad- !
venture with quick profits, little work j
and much play.” Judge Offutt said.
"It efferrd a temptation which many ,
children with uninformed minds, in- j
experience, without perspective, often i
without any moral or religious back- j
ground or fixed principles, have been
unable to resist,” he declared.
