United Press) Chicago, Dee. 5—The wide-spread practice of b,Trd\ control among the so-called “best; people” is running the race, Dr..Joseph L. Baer, gyne- cologist andi obstretician, declared in an interview. here. . “Birth encouragement, not birth limitation, is.the need among these people,” Dr. Baer said. More than half the women of the country are practicing some sort of birth control, according to Dr. Baer. While advocating larger families for seme, Baer proposed 4 wider use of birth control methods for others. “Wealthy women use highly scien- tific methods,” he said. “But the women of lesser means are forced to submit to the -quack-doctors and the criminal operator. “A possible solution of the prob- lem, is regulating restraint in both directions—limitaiton among the in- digent, the debliitated and defectives and birth encouragement among the better endowed classes.” Found West of Red Lake Belonged to Man ‘Another mystery surrotfiding: the discovety of a human sReleton ‘on the Indian reservation: lowér Red Lake in Belttd has_ apparently been cleared. niuch as’ possibile.
