Hayne, state health officer, j ' yesterday. Dr. Hayne assisted in j 1 judging and scoring 51 babies. Heleft, he says, soon after passing on them. He does not intend to intimate that his departure was anythin * in the nature or a hasty fight, no:" that it was even a strategic retreat. He 1 contented himself with saying that, h-?!1 left?quietly, 'unostentatiously? he 11 took his departure. !' "These babies," said Dr. Havre, i] speaking seriously, "were well noor-1' ished, well developed and in fine | x I. _ x M health. They were specimens mm would have delighted the eyes of any ' citizen who cares- anything at all 1 about out future citizens. There were < no evidences of malnuti-ition, nor ! < hookworm nor any of the other af- ( fections that were comparatively 1 ' common among the babies of the' mill population a few years ago. 11 "I think the fine condition of the (' t babies is due in no small measure to the work of the mill superintendent,^ A milk station has been established; 1 a social worker is employed and the'i physical welfare of thg employees < seems well looked after.

One proposes the [ | ynient of bonuses to large families, j 41 e other contemplates the discour-1 ement of single-blessedness by i >ans of a heavy tax on bachelor-1 od. The bonus plan provides for the i ucation by the Government of all j ildrert of a single family in excess five, with liberal financial aid r the support of the excess chil2n. It is argued.by its opponents it the plan will encourage large nilies among people of poorer cumstances. The idea of a tax on bachelorhood jceeds from the belief that such a nalty will force the selfish bache to take unto himself a helpmeet d will go to swell the population. Of the two plans, the bachelorod tax is in greater favor, primarbecauce it does not involve the penditure of public funds, but, on ; contrary provides a plan which lv increase the nation's revenue. is not unlikely that France will y a heavy tax on bachelorhood. As a means of raising revenue, it admitted by those opposing the chelor tax that it will bring rets. But revenue is not the prime ject and the plan it is urged, will t produce the results expected, of Opponents of the bachelor taxj ( e the fact that during the days of j igustus, the Roman empire sought1 check the decline in its population | means of a tax on bachelorhood, j = it notwithstanding this, the old' "" nilies of the empire died out to a| ge extent; and the fall of Rome j is argued, was due largely to the j cline of Roman stock." j The Roman empire sought to in- J ;ase population by the passage of | law that was designed to encour- j e large families. The lex Julia de iritandis ordinabis required all men der sixty and all women under :ty to marry. It levied a heavy tax'i bachelors so as to encourage marige. It provided further that no.unirried man could inherit or disse of an estate, the property of ese circumstances, passing to the blic treasury. But the law it is claimed, did nor eck the decline in Roman stock, tere were plenty of marriap.es. buc ey proved childless. The govern- j jnt was not so much interested in irriages as it was in children, and at is what ranee is interested in day. The Romans sought to reach the oblem by placing childless husnds in the same category as bach>rs and levying upon them a heavy x; but taxation, it is stated, failed terly as a solution. The Roman lpire continued to decline. The birth rate throughout the >rld, it is contended, has fallen off th the increase and spread of ialth.
