IA OWN meeting was called for
the 21st Of November.
With the summer boarders
~ gone, the cranberry picking
finished, state election over, school
begun and under way and real winter

fall distinctly needs something to en-
Hven 1t.
This year there were several uues-
lions to be talked over and settled at
town meeting Two selectmen whose
terms expired were candidates for re-
election. Lem Myrick had resigned
from the school committee, not waiting
until spring, as he had announced that
he should do. Then there was the
usual sentiment in favor of better
roads and the usual opposition to it:
also there was the ever present hope
OF the government appropriation for
harbor improvement.
Mr.. Tidditt was one Of the select
men whose terms expired. In his
dual capacity as selectman and town
clerk Asaph felt himself to be very

ANDY CARNEGIE IN PERIL
Member Of Non.Magnetic Yachts
Crew Tells Of Danger

Memper OF Non.M agnetic Yacht
Crew Tells Of Danger.
New \ ork, Jan. 9.-With the story
Of how the non-magnetic yacht Carne
gle narrowly escaped destruction il
the hrabor of Rio de Janeiro, when the
Brazilian navy mutinied and fired or
the city, Joseph G. White, one of the
Carnegie's crew, arrived in this city
The Carnegie left Green Point, L. |
June 10. She was going around the
world to correct the magnetic vari
ances on the chart She was built
especially for the work and not a bit
of steel or iron was used in her con.
struction. She was made from alum
mum and bronze
"On the day of the mutiny of the
sailors on the Brazilian battleships at
Rio said White. the Carnegie was
lying at anchor between the war yes
sells and the city. The first intimation
of any disturbance reached us when
shells began to scream low over our
heads into the city. We could not un-
derstand what had happened, but we
saw at once that he were in position
of peril. The big guns from the mu-
tinous ships were sending their fire
straight across US. At times the wind
OF the chell could be felt on our decks
Our engines were out of commits
sion and we had no means of getting
out OF the path of fire. There was no
wind. Lying off shore from US was an
English cruiser. We signaled her for
aid and she slipped her chains and
came down toward us. We weighed
anchor and got line aboard of her
and she towed us out OF danger. Had
one OF those shells come few feet
lower the government might have
found itself up against serious situa-
ton with the Brazilian authorities"

DECLINE IN THE BIRTH RATE
Proportionately Greater Than That OF
France, Though the Birth Rate Is
Higher in the United States Than
1t Is in France.

Ithaca, N. Y, Jan. 9.-That the de-
cline in the birth rate in the United
States is proportionately greater than
the similar decline in France, though
the birth rate itself is higher in this
country than in France, is one of the
conclusions made by Professor Walter
F. Wilcox, the we'll known Cornell
statistician and cen 5us expert, who
has made long study of statistics of
births, deaths, marriages and divorces
and whose deductions therefrom have
proved valuable material for the study
of social science and statistics in this
country.
DIR. Wilcox denies, however, that he
ever said there would be no babies in
this country after 2015.
q never said that, nor have 1 ever
predicted such an outcome of the de-
cline in the birth rate"
What Professor Wilcox does think
about decline in the birth rate, COM
pared to the decline in France, is that
in the Nineteenth century there had
been a steady and regular decline in
the birth rate in both the United
States and France and that this de-
cline seemed to be on the whole great
er and more marked in the United
States than in France. This seems to
be so in spite of the fact that there
are many more births in respect to
the population than there are in
France. He said:
Figures From Census Reports.
IF the decline in the birth rate in
the United States is unchecked for
century and half at the end of that
time there would be no more births
This is cold deduction of the facts
and figures cleaned from census re-
ports and returns from departments
of health"
But DIR. Wilcox points out that such
a contingency would never arise
Other conditions would come in and
change the course of this tendency.
Since 1850 the earth's population has
increased about 100000, 900" he con
tinued. q his increase is not due to
the Increased birth rate, but to a de-
crease in the death rate marked by
the progress of science and OF govern
ment Under early conditions fam
inc, pestilence and war carried off
many and at the same time prevented
births
During the last half century this
reciprocal relation has given way 10 u
decrease in birth rates
This sharp decrease in birth rates
was necessary to grip more firmly and
retain the. benefits secured by the de-
cline IN the death rate AS no Que
