LOVE’S TIME-LAG.
And Falling Birth-rates London, April 14. By one vote the university Liberal Societies passed a resolution: “Thai this conference views the general fall of the birthrate and is alarmed at the disproportion between birthrates' of upper and lower classes. It favours extension of birth control knowledge in all sections, particularly those deficient in heredity, whose ra'te in highest.” Dr. Fletcher Burden, of Cambridge, said it was not a coincidence that a period of Britain’s highest birthrate was the period of her greatest prosperity. A falling birthrate indicated declining vitality. Dr Byers, of Oxford, mentioned the ‘economic time-lag of love.” When a youth of 21 fell in love with a girl of 21, and could not marry for economic reasons till he was 27, it was absurd for the girl to have 'to wait till she was 27.
