CHANGE IN PLANS
 AS TO BIG cUR|O STORE
It Will Be Kept Open In the Absence
 Of Mir. Bake.

It was announced last fall. and ire quently since. that in consequence of the necessary absence in Europe for an indefinite period of Mir. R. L. Bake. proprietor of the Big Curio Store. the store would be closed until his return. For that reason a cut price sale was instituted and has been extremely sue cessful However. at the solicitation of many of his patrons, MT. Bake has changed his plan in respect tp closing the store. He was the more easily in duced to make such a change in his plans by having been so fortunate as to secure the services of Mir. George F.. Lewis, who has now been with him several months and has fully acquaint- ed himself with the business.
 The cut price sale though has not been abandoned On the contrary, Mir. Lewis is expected to move the stock and he has been given carte blanche by MT. Bake as to the prices necessary to effect their movement Therefore what ever concession MT. Lewis desires to make to customers he is at liberty to make. MT. Bake states further that in case any patron should feel that he has not secured the same financial advan- tage in dealing with Mir. Lewis that he might have made in dealing with MT Bake will be satisfied by MT Bake on his return.
 MT. Bake will leave Phoenix on June F and in the meantime would like to see as many of his patrons as possiole and to attend to their needs m person.

CAUSES OF FRENCH DEPOT
 ULATION.

\ continental observer said recently. In France d small cOterie of bach elors rules itself" pr. Jacques Der tilIon. the French statistican. has just written a book in which he deals with the depopulatiOn of France on pOliticO- scientific basis
 Dr. Bertillon maintains that the nation alone is to blame for the fall ing birth rar. He accuses the lead ing classes Of present day France Of giving the worst possible example to the people His statistics show that of 445 leading French married couples 177 are Chldless. IO6 have one child. SS have two children, @ three. 1S four. r five. f six. 9 seven, 1 eight and eleven children; so that these 445 leaders Of the nation have only 575 children among them.
 Dr Bertillon says that at that rate France in thirty years will only nave half it's population. H. points out that most of the eminent men Of the Third Republic have left no off sprinS Neither Theirs, nor Jules Ferry. nor Gambette. nor Lepere. nor SpuIer. nor Challemel-Lacour. nor Goblet. nor Eloquent, nor Waldeck- Rousseau left issue
 The French are often held up as models of thrift. but Dr. Bartillon planes them for excessive parsimOny. which. he says. is greatly responsible for the low birth rate Although the conditions of life today are better than ever before. everybody is bent on hoarding money. and this tends to a general refusal tO bear the finan- cial responsibility of rearing children. The many superfluous f6rmalitieS at tending the contracting Of marriages also in a great measure act as deterrent
 The writer thinks that the future looks black for France. Among other consequences he foresees a dwindlins of enterprise and the OutflanllinS of France by more prolific powers m great international questions and an influx of aliens to perform the work of the nation. He looks tO the loEis- Iature to provide remedies, such as shorter military service for young fathers. subsidies to poor widows left with children and relief from taxa tion Who rears a child re de- clares. already pays a tax to the state" He advocates stong and i'm mediate action on these lines. -if." he adds.

ord which her officers believe to b1 unapproached by any Warship of any nation Here. in brief. is the story which the officers told of the far sea faring Of their big ship. With the fif- teen other battleships of the Atlantic fleet. the Delaware had made the mo- table cruise to European waters. From Europe the fleet went tO Guantanamo, Cuba. There the Delaware was de tached by cabled orders, and directed to proceed to Hampton Roads tO take on board the body of the Chilean min ister. and tO convey the remains to Valparaiso. The vessel made d record run to Hampton Roads. spent one day in dry dock. and sailed the next on her long journey. the body of the minister in a mausOleum which had been constructed on the upper deck, the mausoleum being draped with Chilean flags and guarded by sentrIes.
 The first stop was at Rio de Jane fro. where the battleship put in for coal. Two thousand tons were taken in eight hours. which, considering the intense heat in which the crew had to work. is considered as another record in fast coaling under difficulties. The two new dreadnaughts which Brazil had built in England had just reached port. Prior to the arrival of the Dela ware. the Brazilians had regarded these two as the best that ever floated, and they freely expressed great sur prise when they saw a finer one of the dreadnauSht type come into port
 rThe next run was to Punta Arenas, a comparatively short one of 2,3o0 miles Here the battleship made three day stop. and threaded her way through the Magellan straits to find a bowling gale waiting for her as she cleared them. But despite the buffet ing she reached NalapdTaisO the very minute of her schedule time. 9 a. m, March II.
 The Delaware is the first dread naught to enter Pacific waters. and her officers say that the great fighting machine made tremendous impress sion Chil was then contemplating the building of two dreadnaughts in Eng land. and that added to the interest of her appearance.
 After stay of ten days, during which time every possible courtesy was showered upon the officers and crew. the Delaware got her anchor and began her homeward trip. On this she made only two stops. one at Punta Arenas. to take on a fresh supply ot provisions, and one at Rio for coal. Off the River Plata she encountered a furious northeaster. described by her officers as the heaviest gale that any vessel of the comparatively recent dreadnaught type has vet widowed through.
