erty and misery upon the increase
of population is a very different
proposition. In fact, the worlds
experience since Rev. Mr.. NAL
thus's day has thrown considerable
light upon his theories.
One thing that we have learned
is that the increasing intelligence
of man has and may for a long
time yet to come cause the food
supply or, more generally speak
ing, wealth, to increase as fast or
faster than population.
Another thing we have learned
i that the population of wealth
wasted by the rich does not necess-
arily remain the same. In fact.
it has recently suffered consider
able increase, and some optimistic
people think it is presently going
to grow less again. Either way it
is a factor that insists on intrud-
inc and unceremoniously upset
ting all nicely calculated ratios be-
tween production and population,
which, left to themselves. should
accurately reveal the starvation
rate Of the future.
DR.. Charles Edward Woodruff
in a recently published volume
called the Expansion of Races
tries To reconcile the Malthusian
theory with the facts as we now
know them. The doctor lays
down a new rule. from which we
learn that there is neither danger
of general starvation from the
population outrunning the food
supply nor of the other extreme
of race suicide in the midst OF
plenty. DR.. Woodruff holds, with
the Malthusians, that the popula.
ton of the world is directly de
pendent upon the food supply
and that the great increase within
I the last century is directly due t.
T the greatly increased productiv,
/ capacity OF the earth, which il
turn is due both to the COLOMBIA
ton of new lands and the grea
advance in technical knowledge

If we accept DR.. Woodruff's
theory we must predict the future
population of the world from the
rate of increase of the food supply
rather than from any fixed rate of
multiplication of the human spe-
cies. As a matter of fact the
worlds possible food supply,
while not limitless, is at least so
much greater than our present
production that it puts the worlds
final population limit far beyond
Our time or the times of our great
great grandchildren.
When the wheat crop runs be

crowded that t he mperate zones
cannot supply men with food,
transportation will have been so
well developed that the vastly fer

the temperate zones be given over
to manufacturing. residential and
recreation purposes. Such an ar

The Notes to Write.

A girl need not be brilliant writer
to send out pleasing wedding notes.
What is needed is sincere gratitude,
gracefully but not gushingly expressed.
OverpraiSe is almost as annoying as
indifference.
Never be guilty Of set form; your
friends are sure to compare notes and
laugh over ready letter writer effects.
Aim to give the individual touch, to
introduce the few words that make
the sender realize that she is really
being thanked, not a job lot Of givers.
1t is customary to include your fiance
in thanking for wedding present.
Though the gift comes to the girl, 1t Is
actually for both and should be so
acknowledged.
1t is also the custom to tell your
friends you will be glad to have them
come in and see your presents. This
is particularly necessary when there
is to be no reception and you are TO
live out of town. Set hours may be
mentioned if you do not wish to be
bothered with a run of visitors.
Many brides write notes to their own
friends and work substitute for the
friends of their husbands. This is a
great mistake, since strangers have
often no other way to judge the bride
than by her note of thanks.
