ABBEVILLE PRODUCES |l
FINE BABIES, SAYS 11
STATE HEALTH OFFICER p

The State. ,
"Never in the course of a long and ]
varied experience with babies havej,
j
I seen a more attractive display than i,
that staged at Abbeville last week j,
during the baby show," said Dr. |,
James A. 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. The houses j
are- equipped with electric lights, a,'
sewerage system and a bath tub. The j1
results of the sanitary arrangements, j
and the interest taken by the mill,'
management of a mill takes an active i
workers are self-evident. They show (i
what can actually be done when the. <
management of a mlil takes an active j ]
and genuine interest in the people 1
who are employed in the mill." j ]

TAXING BACHELORS
The steady decline in the popula11
of France, which has become actuated
in consequence of the
eat loss of life because of the war,
receiving serious consideration at
; hands of the Government. The;
portance of checking the decline

? Republic and many plans have!
nn suggested. Two
have been received with con- j
lerable favor. 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. Though, it is more apparent
sewhere, it is being felt in the Unii
States. The old New England
>ck, it is pointed out, is decreasing;
>st of the large and many of the
Fluential families of that section j
jay are of alien descent. In Boston
o-thirds of the children are said to
of foreign parentage, and but for
i immigrants the population of
iston would be stationary.
Theodore Roosevelt was not far
>m right when he began his agitan
on this matter. The question derves
more thought that it receives
