EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF
INCOMPETENCY.
SALEM, OB., April 30th. A case of family incompetency that may go down in history as a rival of the famous "Jukes" family of New York and Minnesota, the "Tribe of Israel" of central Indiana and the Edwards family, is that of a Portland woman who on Wednesday gave birth to her 18th
child.
The child was born in the Oregon state hospital for the insane, where the mother. has been a patient for the past three months. Because of having relatives in Portland, officials have refused to divulge her name.
Records in the case show that the entire family of 17 members now are, or have been, state charges. The father some time ago was sent to the Oregon state penitentiary, but later was transferred to the state hospital, where he died re cently. All of the 16 children are now in state institutions and are charges. Officials said the mother was mental derelict and at best could not

TO COST £1,500,000.
The House of Commons has declared by a considerable majority in favour of the plans of the London County Council for dealing with Waterloo Bridge. The bridge, it has been decided, must come down and a new one is to be built. No Lone can feel enthusiasm for a scheme involving the destruction of a fine bridge, which has been one of London's chief ornaments during living memory. But necessity compels, and it is not ́van- dalism which decrees the stroke but the inexorable requirements of London traffic. True, the necessity is challenged by some, but after prolonged debate and controversy we think that the case for pulling down and rebuilding on a six- line traffic scale has been established, and our regrets for the loss of an impretive more than a few years. landmark in London's most beautiful view are none the less sincere because

But we fear that there is none, if only be cause of the vast expense involved. And now that the St. Paul's Bridge scheme, which we thought had been finally laid to rest a year or more ago after the de bate in the House of Lords, has recently received the blessing of the Traffic Ad visory Committee of the Ministry of Transport, it is the more important that now and wider Waterloo Bridge should be built before the pressure of London traffic becomes even more in tolerable. This question of cost is para- mount, when we are dealing, as in this case, with millions. For a million, and a half London is promised a now water loo Bridge, which will be adequate to the traffic developments of the next hundred years. The Charing-cross Bridge would probably cost anything from ten to fifteen millions. Nor do we think so poorly of the architectural skill of our own day that we despair of the new bridge being found equal in beauty to the old, says the Daily Telegraph.
