and hopelessly deformed than to al
low them to live 'in our public institu
tions for political quack doctors to
experiment on and neglect. A quick,
merciful chloroform death is more
humane and just than a slow, linger
ing torture death in Dunning, Kan
kakee or Elgin. It is not the cost I
am contemplating, but it is the inhu
man treatment they get and the suf
ferings of loved ones back home who
are worried sick and dead also with
anxiety.
Sterilization should not be prac
ticed, but all abnormal babies born
should be chloroformed at birth.
Women should be taught birth con
trol instead of how to perform abor
tions. Let all babies come, and chloro
form the surplus. This would prevent
quackery and keep all women
healthy. German women are healthy
today because they let the babies
come. America had better let them
come also and chloroform the worst
That is the only way to control sur
plus populations. At least, it is bet
ter than raising all this surplus and
then putting guns in their hands to
kill each other at manhood and die
by inches, dying with two or even
three generations of suffering. There
is not enough of sex in the world,
but there is too much worry and sor
row, too many scruples. Between
science and gospel we must dodge to
strike a just and happy mean. Allen

THREE DIE AS AUTO HURTLES
INTO A SWAMP
An auto went speeding down W. J
15th road toward Gary last night On
both sides of the road lies a deep
swamp. A few blocks ahead is a rail-
road crossing.
A train whistle blew. The driver
set his brakes. A little pin in the
stearing gear snapped and the heavy
car skidded from the road into the
swamp.
There was a scream and a shout as
the front wheels of the car plunged
through the thin ice of the mush and
a splash as it turned turtle, smother
ing two men and a woman in the
ooze.
The victims are Melvin Goodrode,
5750 Justine, butterine salesman;
John Thompson, 5451 Federal st, his
brother-in-law, and Mrs. Anna Ad
kins, 2151 W. Monroe, a demonstra
tor for the Freidman Butterine Co.
The red light of the tail lamp glar
ing across the swamp caught the eye
of R. M. Scofield, a U. S. mail clerk.
Scofield saw the leg of a woman
protruding from under the car. The
Gary police and fire department was
called to remove the bodies.
