ITHACA, N. Y, Nov. l9.--If the
present decline In birth rate should
continue for so years there would be
no more births at that time. according
TO Professor Walter + Wilcox, sta
tisticiaD Of Cornell university.
1T is not decrease In the birth
rate that Is disturbing. said Professor
Wilcox. 'but rather the fact that the
decrease Is greater among the classes
whose children would probably inherit
| most of the social worth and capacity
for leadership. Thus the figures from
100 graduates produce In the next
| generation only seyenty-three sons.
The native American population, that
at least In New England and New
York, loses more by death than 1t gains
by births"

minated at night by the largest cleo
construction and It's erection ON the
roof of the Hotel Normandie have been
approved by the building department,
and the actual work is now under way
in factory at Dayton, Ohio.
Not only will the sign be the larg'
est in the world. but 1t will be more
tempted. On great steel structure,
sixty feet high and ninety feet long
will be reproduced a Roman chariot
race. with viewing stands on which
| will be large crowds cheering the char
| ioteers TO victory Ahead of the first
chariot will be five Roman cavalry
men.
| With the greatly improved electric
device the representation at night will
be of horses galloping madly. the
names and tails being blown In the
wind The wheels of the chariot will
appear to revolve rapidly and the Grim
son robe of the first charioteer. ms
well as his Roman shirt, will fluttei
IN the wind. while the chariots and the
fire horses are plunging on n device
that manipulates the light illuminating
them. The roadbed is painted TO rep
resent great stretches of track behint
and ahead of the racers.
Some idea of the sign OF the sigi
can be had from the fact that th'
main chariot and the horses will b,
forty-hve feet long and twenty fee
high. The posts, al the top of whicl
: will be represented In electricity
flaming torch, will be thirty feet high
, In the sign will be nearly 20,00
bulbs. while the largest sign now II

, The sign or display will cost NOR
