PACE FTVT3 ) JEROME TO PLAN TO When the Elks' grand lodge pa rade U atagsd In Los Angeles July 16, during the 72nd Elka' national convention, the B. P. O. E. band of Medford will be In the line ol march. If plans of Medford lodge to flnsnce the trip are successful. To E. C. (Jerry) Jerome has been allotted the task of arranging de tails for the band to accompany the southern Oregon delegation south, and to see that funds are available to defray expense of the trip. Participation In plans for the Elks' band' to attend the national convention is not confined to lodge members, Mr. Jerome pointed out, but Is a matter of civic Interest. "The band is proud of Its record, end Justly so," said Mr. Jerome. "Organized as the Elks' band In 1937. these musicians have func tioned as a unit since that time, and have given freely of their time and ability In participating In events of interest to all southern Oregon. "Featured prominently In exercises commemorating Armistice day, Memo rial day, and celebrations sponsored by various civic and patriotic or ganlratlona in the past, the band has recorded a 100 per cent response In practically every Instance. "Concerts In the city park, so enjoyed by the public," Mr. Jerome continued, "have been staged by the bend without charge." He also pointed out that such events are usually paid for by city governments, and the proceeds used by the musicians for uniforms, music and other expenses Incurred by the organization. But when the Medford exchequer fell below normal during depression years, and the practice of payment for concert waa dis continued, the band continued to entertain the public with no thought of reward. Fifteen members out of the 30 now in the Medford Elks' band turn ed out for the first practice In 1827. It is hoped to add five musicians to the roster, bringing the band mem bership to 35 before opening day of the convention.

Reed, Northwestern University ob stetrics professor, psintlng a picture of deteriorating mankind, bluntly as serts that all unfit women should be sterilised. Otherwise, he says, the human race will become extinct because present- day mothers are bearing children who "can't take It." Blunt and unhesi tating. Dr. Reed warns of the dan gers of too much "soft living." The human race Is degenerating, be declarea. How far will It degenerate? To ex tinction unless a holocaust wipes it out first. He explains It ts a process of evo lution. The burhsn race is not as healthy and strong as It used to be. "The mothers say they don't want their children to have as tough a time as they did, and they do everything to make life comfortable for them. "The daughters are pampered, and petted. They don't get enough sun shine or exercise. They can't take It the way their grandmothers did." Reed explains that nature custom arily eliminates the unfit. Yeara ago. physically unfit women died in childbirth, and so did their progeny. Todsy, they go to hospitals where trained dootors save them. Thus the unfit survive despite na ture. Their defects are handed down. These are the women Dr. Reed be lieves should be sterilized. "They are the ones who bear most of the children," he said. The others, the intellectual, careful, hygienic wo manthe ones who should bear the children, don't do It. "You can't protect the world against fools." he says, angrily. "Most of the subnormal women should be sterilized. But they won't. The human race is like a pack of ani mals. "You can't depend on them to use contraaeptlvea, either. You can ad vise them If you want to, but you can't prevent the wrong people from having children." He related the case of a woman whose husbsnd earned 35 a week. When ahe bore her 13th child, and was released from the hospital, Dr. Reed advised her to return In three weeks and be sterilized. When she did come back, It was to have her 13th child. Explaining evolution. Reed scoff6 at the Idea that a more Intellectual race would have bigger heada. And If the people of the future have no ap pendices, It would be for the same reason as now surgical operation. They can keep their teeth In spite of soft foods, he believes, by proper diets. "But if they go on riding around In automobiles, Instead of getting the exercise they need, some day -people won't have any legs," he warns, or If they do have legs, there won't be any muscles In them."
