Imbeciles to be Deprived of Spreading Feeble-Mind­ ed Offspring WASHINGTON, May 3. — OF) — Compulsory surgical sterilisa­ tion of Insane, feeble-minded and epileptics has boon .approved by the supreme court of the. United States In upholding the Virginia sterillM tioa law of 1134. Men must die for the stkte, said Justice Oliver Wendell Homes, who waa dangerously wounded In the Civil War, and the leaser sacrifice called for In sterilisation may properly be re­ quired for protection of the pub­ lic welfare. If the state requires persona to be vaccinated ao that disease will not be spread through the community, it may also, he aald, deprive imbeciles of the power to flood society with feeble-minded offspring. This decision waa polned In by eight of the supreme justices. Pierce Butler dissented but offered no opinion. The decision means that Carry Buck, a 20-year-oId white inmate of the Virginia state colony for epileptics and feeble - minded, must submit to a surgical opera­ tion which will deprive her of the power of bearing children. She Is the daughter of a feeble­ minded mother who la an inmate of the same institution. Carrie had an illegitimate child at 17. "Three generations of imbeciles are enough,” declared Justice Holmes. ‘‘The principle that sus­ tains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover this.” >7, a tew miles south of here, Saturday. , * • Dtspatehee failed to disclose the exact number'* of troops or­ dered to Join the purault.

Forests and Floods Last week while the Nation was cele­ brating American Forest Week, the Miss­ issippi River gave evidence as to what may happen when mountains ire denud­ ed of their forests. Today the primeval forests which grew along'the headwaters of the Mississippi and its tributaries, have disappeared. Ar­ tificial b a r r i e r s , built to retain flood waters, proved insufficient for the need. Nature’s way was best. While being thankful that our o#n pri­ meval forests are being 'preserved, and cut over lands reforested, let no one for­ get the * resent need of those in distress in the Mississippi Valley.
