P A4 = ANGELL FORECASTS CONTROL OF BIRTHS Yale President Tells Surgeons Measures Will Be Found to Diminish Misery. By the Assoclated 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 serfously unfit. to say nothing of controlling birth in excess of the sibilities of a well conditioned popu- tion."” Dr. Angell urged that the essential value of physiclans and surgeqns 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 fort: ven candidates, elected to fellowships in the colleg?, 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 by Emanuale Grazzi, Italian consul gen- eral, for achievements of international mportance 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 $500, for presenting the best set of case records in surgery, gynecology and obstetrics. On the honor list were Dr. 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 Comstitution Gives Women Equal Standing in Marital Relations. Charles By the Assoclated Press MADRID, October 17.—A provision permitting the granting of divorce either men or women for “just_caus was incorporated in the néw Spanish titution today. The National Assembly by a vote of 169 to 153 thus overthrew laws against divorce which had been in effect for centuries and placed women on an equal footing with men in the regula- tion of marital relations. The grounds for a decree were not specified further. Catholic Deputies who have boycotted the Assembly because of anti-religious legislation, described the measure as “another indication of the attempt of leftists to revolutionize Spanish life en- tirely.” H 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.
