\ ‘ “MN LONAIRE KID” Cash Premium 7 Will Be Put on Motherhood By State in Ten Year Years, It Is Predicted THINKS MARRYING ACTRESS A MISTAKE Didn’t Return to This Country, He Says, to Be Recon- ciled to Wife. BLAMES LONDON “SET.” = Wife Got an Idea Over There of Sitting Up and Staying Out Late Nights, Byron Chandler, once well known wherever Broadway's lights were brightest as “The Million Dollar Kid,” very firmly denied to-day that he had come to this country to effect: any sort of @ reconciliation with his wife, Grace La Rue, the actress, Further- more, he sald that he did not believe there was any chance of a reconcilia- tion, since matters had gone too far. Business, he declared, was wha brought him to New York, and since Bis arrival he had made no effort to see his wife, who is stopping at the Hotel Claridge. One thing Mr. Chandler made em- phatic was the mistake any man made to marry an actress. He blamed a set in London headed by @ noted aviator for the troubles be- tween Miss LaRue and himself. Mr. Chandler arrived in this city yesterday with his daughter and it ‘was reported that he had said that he was here to “fix it up” with his wife if possible and take her back to live with him in France, but when he was found to-day by an Evening ‘World reporter in the barber shop of the Hotel Knickerbocker, where he was having his nails manicured, did not seem to be at all cast down. He seemed quite willing to talk about his affairs while the pretty young mani- cure rubbed and polished at his fin- TF tips. “It was not to follow my wife that T came to this country,” he sald, with one eye fixed to see what sort of polish was being put on a nail. “It Was business that brought me. Some- thing unexpected arote and it was necessary for me to come over.’ I ‘was not interviewed about Miss La Rue's starting legal proceedings against me. My conduct bas been guch that she coald not get a divorce from me here in New York sny more than I could get one from her. But I don’t believe there is the least chance of any reconciliation between us. I don't mean to say that I would not ike ope. but matters have gone too far. “It's been her fault more than mine, and my life in the last three or four months has been a hell on earth. My wife made a great hit in London and became the centre of a fast living crowd headed by an aviator and she got all sorts of ideas about sitting up late at night and going up in aero- planes and all that sort of thing. “One norning she came home at 4 o'clock and I asked her where she had been. She told me and I got up and ‘went to another suite in our hotel for the rest of the night. Since then I have not spoken to her, v have been married for six years, and while I could be with her to watch over her welfare our life was as happy as could be. But when she wa: y from me, in London with theatrical company and in that gay crowd where my influence wes no longer available she broke eway. “There is no doubt in my mind that she wants to be single again and I can’t do anything to stop her. I didn’t come to this country to tratl her, and I don't want any ove to think poy! I can't live without her. I'll still le to live and eat three meals y no matter what happens. ‘A man makes fe areas malatake is an actress, or Whether’ he lean actor ‘or not. A man cannot always be with bis wife and know what she js doing. That applies to the man, too, so very goon they lose confidence in each , other and the trouble's done.” 4 j mor, a Methodist oe 4 ta ‘pastor of the t rethodiat + church at Cannonaville, has decided to guit preaching and take up farming at “ECONOMICALLY CHILDREN ‘SS he STATE TWAN TO PARENTS * SS RODMAN DOESN'T BELIEVE cy 'N GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP “We Already Have a Baby Strike,” Declares Miss | Henrietta Rodman, Educator, ‘‘and to Avoid MEAN MORE Extinction the State Must Sub- sidize Motherhood.” By Marguerite Mooers Marshall.

One person whom Mr. Shaw’s salary plan seems not to shock is Miss Hen- rietta Rodman, as she still prefers to be called despite her marriage two years ago. She has taught for many years in the Wadleigh High School, and is leading the campaign against the dismissal by the New York Board of Education of teachers who become mothers, From a protest against penalizing motherhood Miss Rodman has reached the point where she frapkly advocates subsidizing motherhood, services to the community. eaux, should want $10,000 “before I became a mother, “Why shouldn't child-bearing be a profession for women? | THERE 18 A BABY STRIKE ON NOW. “I believe that this country must come to it,” she told me, ‘For we already have a baby strike.

But society expects her to do one of two things with the coming of her first child. She must give up her work and watch her servants, if she can afford them, or she must give up her work and herself become nurse and housekeeper if she isn't able to hire these functionaries. So—she doesn't have children,” “And is it merely the professional woman and the rich woman who are revolting against motherhood? I questioned as Miss Rodman paused a moment. “A physician of wide expe- rience told me that the daughters of immigrant women on the east side al- most invariably have fewer children than their mothers had." Miss Rodman nodded in unsur- prised assent. “The child to-day is a greater economic necessity to the State than it is to the parent,” said. “That is why, to id ex tinction, the State must eventu- ally subsidize motherhood.” “In the old days large families were an asset instead of a lability to their pare But now we have set our faces against child labor.

Of course, too, the State whould gee to it that all moneys paid out for children be used to pro- mote the welfare of children. Fur- thermore, I think that the State should keep @ watchful eye on the children of uncertified parents, and that these little ones should be protected, even though @ definite subsidy would not be allowed to the parents, “Aleo there should be some system of motherhood insurance on the plan of an endowment policy.

But though the associations be- tween father and mother and children should never be broken, the latter should be under the care of trained experts for much of the time, That's where the help of the State will come in. “And it will be given within ten years,” prophesied Miss Rodman con- fidently. “All the radical proposals we talk about now will be accom- plished facts in just a little while.” 1 wonder BISHOP CRUCFED Had Been Ordered to Pay $50,000 to Save His Life.
