The Child as an Asset.

There is undoubtedly a very grave
problem connected with the birth rate.
The church in. past times furnished n
religious motive for large families, and
this tended to counterfeit the natural
tendency of the birth rate to decline
from economic causes as the period OF
infancy came to be prolonged in an
advancing civilization, says a writer
In the Springfield (Mass) Republican.
III the religious motive be destroyed,
the economic forces making for fewer
children must enjoy freer scope, and
as the cost of living rises and the
financial burden of rearing and edu'
eating children through n long series
OF years becomes heavier for the aver
age parent to bear the scare over race
suicide is likely to be the more pro-
nounced. Making the child, however,
once more a pecuniary asset of the
parents ut tender age would be sui
cidal to civilization itself.

KEEP LANGUAGE AND CUSTOMS
Dutch Impress Clearly Visible Among
Inhabitants Of Old Villages
Up the Hudson.

Dutch language and customs still
prevail to surprising extent in the
old villages up the Hudson, according
to Peter C. Barker of Buffalo. N. Y.
"The modern housekeeper from the
city," said Mr.. Barker, who takes a
picturesque dwelling, built about 1890,
for a summer home. is confronted by
some bewildering conditions. First
among these are words of one pronun-
citation in Dutch and English, but OF
totally different meaning. For in
stance. her help obtained from the
village will probably glance about the
kitchen after finishing her mornings
work, and chant In sing-song that
might be pointed off thus: i amt
done no work--what meant to do
this mawnin'-yet. An'-Ill JUS file
up the kitchen floor. To the mistress
surprise the file proves to be a mop,
file being old Dutch for any bit OF
cloth used for cleaning, from a wash
cloth to a floor cloth.
Another evidence of descent is the
use made of water. The old houses
were invariably located where advan
tage might be taken of running
stream, no matter how small. At n
point near the kitchen door this was
damned, water wheel inserted, and
power obtained for the churn or turn
spit. To-day this power equals a mo
tor for running an ice-cream freezer
a sewing machine, an egg beater or q
coffee mill"

tage Of sach a drydoek lave been set
forth from time to time, but hardly a

ia coBnecaon with the stranding OF the
steamcr-~,rrev6r on Isle Royalc two
weeks ago. A prominent Houghton
business man. one who Is deeply IN
terested In the project To have dry
dock. lege. said that what was badly
needed on Portage lake was big
wrecking outfit.
such an outfit cannot now be secur-
ed from any point nearer than Sauit
Ste. Marie. Had there been an outnt
of this nature on Portage lake Two
weeks ago it is believed by the gentle
men in question the Trevor could have
been saved. All that would be neces-
sary were such q plant available here
would be 10 await suitable weather
and then make "a quick run TO the point
where a vessel Is IN distress. BY hav-
ing drydock here the vessel could be
towed here and necessary repairs
made.
Considerable establishment Is ex-
pressed by strangers here when il Is
announced there are no wrecking out
fits on Lake Superior. excepting at the
extreme eastern end, At Sault Ste.
Marie The Keweenaw peninsula and
Isle Royale claim many vessels as toll
during the stormy seasons and by hav-
ing a wrecker here much Of that lost
could be saved. In the event Of dry
dock being located here there is not
the slightest doubt a wrecking outfit
will be- secured.
Speaking OF the proposed drydock
the Houghton man told The News II
would be one Of the biggest things
ever brought TO this section. II would
mean the employment OF 125 TO $50 men
all the year around and would serve 70
bring Houghton more prominently be-
fore the public. II would mean thous-
ands OF dollars spent locally each year
and there seems no good reason why
someone should not become Interested.
All that is required, said the gentle
man, is TO secure some local man to
take hold Of the affair. The money
necessary 10 construct a monster dry
dock and shipbuilding plant is here and
a promoter would get all kinds OF en-
enlargement and assistance.
