LlfiMUMgl Flapper Wife b Mothr At
Heart Says Census Cluef
(International News Service)
SACRAMENTO, Calif., July U. —
The flapper wife, flippant and decol-
lete. though she may be, does not
scorn motherhood! -
She's still a mother at heart, ruled
by the instinct maternal and enslav-
ed by the patter of baby feet, accord-
ing to L E. Ross, chief of California's
infant census bureau.
Tn ohe ^respect^ motherhood has
changed, Ross admits. The modern
girl limits her family, usually fixing
a limt that permits parent* and chil-
dren to roll about in a five-passenger
car without crowding. _
But childless marriages, to Califor
nia at least, are few and far between.
Though she violates all the stand-
ards that are dear to the heart of a
mother-in-law, the California wife is a
mother none the less and a good one.
Only 6.5 per cent of all California _ _
marriages are childless, Ross' survey open to the public again
shows, and In some cases these are
involuntary.
California’s birth rate is lower than
thif for the nation as a whole, Ross
explains, but that is due to the size
of families—not to wives scorning
motherhood?” Thirty-two per' cent of
California mothers have only one
child. And the average family varies
from two to three children, while to
the country generally the average is
own Same despite ths burden of
, wealth suddenly placed upon bis
gbsiilders. to* this manner he'ehyty

LONDON, August 1. The world’s opinion of experts,

service, is rapidly nearly completion.
Laborers are busily engaged to ap-

visited the hangar and saw the wond-

The airship is more than 700<feet
from bow to stern and weights 156
tons. It is driven by six Rolla-Royce
engines, developing 4,200 horsepower,
and is believed to be capable of flying
across the Atlantic in leas than three
days.
The six engines are housed in three
power cabins slung from the after
