It’s ruinous to the wife to , give birth to a child every twelvemonth, ruinous both mentally and physically.“Now all women of means know how to avoid child bearing. It's the ' jpoor woman who needs the information. and she is deprived of it by law. That such a law exists is a terrible indictment of our country, and that the justices should have sent Mrs. Byrne to the workhouse for thirty days is an outrage.Women Arc Helpless.“But what can we do? Even when we organize to forward the birth control movement we are practically helpless because of this law making it a criminal offense to give out the necessary information to wives. The only thing we can do, besides helping as wc have helped by supporting the clinics and giving other aid, is to work along faithfully until we women get theIranchise and can have the law relax laws of 1915 both in number and imporianee made more changes than before at any single ses-sion.

Mrs. Byrne has been assisting her sister in the birth control clinic at No. 16 Amboy street, Brooklyn. Sentence was imposed by Justices Garvin, O’Keefe and Herrman.One hundred women, many of them of social and political prominence, have banded together to help in the birth control movement. They have organized a committee. with Mrs. Amos R. E. Pinchot, of No. 9 East Eighty-first street, as chairman and recently they held a meeting to decide what to do In the event of the arrest or sentencing of Mrs. Byrne. The committee, which keeps its meetings secret, has been organized to support this movement as far as it can. it is composed of women of wealth, and there is every reason to believe that when money ia needed to further the cause or assist Its supporters funds will te forthcoming.Characterizing the action of the Brooklyn Court of Special Sessions as an outrage. Dr. Mary Halton said yesterday: “We are the only countryin the civilized world that has a lawpealed. ,“If Mrs. Byrne is fined we women who stand for birth control would gladly help pay it. And we must wipe out this hypocrisy which tries to make us think it is shameful to tell the truth. Of course. Mrs. Byrne's case will be appealed. And we women will stand by her.Mrs. William L. Colt said that as a member of the Committee of One Hundred she felt the greatest indignation at the sentence imposed upon Mrs. Byrne. “She and her sister are doing an excellent work. but. of course, it is considered illegal under the law. The only way we can help such women and promote the birth movement is by constantly breaking this law until people see and realize how foolish it is.“I consider Mrs. Sanger a pioneer and her sister one also. I have lived on the east side and I know what it means to. a poverty stricken family to have many children. They can't afford it and they should be taught how to regulate the size of their families. Personally I shall be glad to help Mrs. Byrne in any way that a woman can.Worhen interested in the birth control movement are organizing in various groups, each of which is taking hold of one feature of the work. There will be a big rallv in Carnegie hall on January 29 under the auspices of birth control leaders, with prominent women as speakers. Probably Mrs. Sanger will be one of the speakers.LITTLE MONEYto acquire a choice lo,t at MAPLE of purchase and small monthly i secure you a clear title. And your in a few years is excellent.
