CHINESE DEATH RATE
Wonderful Vitality Shown in

GREAT INFANT MORTALITY
Survivors Have Great Powers TO
Resist Disease and Recover
from Wounds.

Professor Edward Alsvorth Ross. OF the
University OF Wisconsin. writing in The
Popular Science Monthly about the race
fibre OF the Chinese, says:
"Out OF ten children born among US three.

these weakest three viii die and PROBABLY
FIVE more besides The difference is owing
10 the hardships that infant lie meets with
among the Chinese. II at birth the white
infants and the yellow infants are equal in
stamina the two surviving Chinese ought
u possess greater vitality OF constitution
than the seven surviving whites. For OF
these seven the five that would infalli6ly
have perished under Oriental conditions
Of life are presumably weaker in consttu-
ton than the two who could have endured
even such conditions. The two Chinese
survivors will transmit some Of their Su-
perior vitality 20 their offspring. and these

A Bernard Shaw Criticism.


Before fame came to him Bernard
Shaw wrote dramatic criticisms for
the London Saturday Review. The
following sample is characteristic of
the man:
81 am in a somewhat foolish posi-
ton concerning a play at the Opera
Comique, whittier I was hidden this
day week. For some reason was not
supplied with a program, so that l
never learned the name Of the play.
At the end Of the second act the play
had advanced about as far as an or
binary dramatist would have brought
it FIVE minutes after the first rising
of the curtain or, say. as far as Ibsen
would have brought it ten years. be-
fore that event. Taking advantage of
the second interval to stroll out into
the Strand for a little exercise, I'M
fortunately forgot all about my bust
ness and actually reached home before
it occurred to me that ! had not seen
the end of the play. Under these cir
cumstances it would ill become me to
dogmatize on the merits of the work or
its performance. | can only offer the
management my apologies" - Every

|RMA K|LROY
WILL NOT GO
TO A CELL
Her Relatives Agree to
Make Restitution for
Thefts She Committed

Irma screeder Kilroy, the demure IS
years old bride, who was arrested on
complaint of the Rowland Dry Goods
Co., a month ago for obtaining a
large stock of merchandise under false
pretenses, by using the name of an
other who is regular patron Of the
store, will not go to jail for her Of
fence.
By arrangement with the prosecuting
authorities. her lawyer, Jacob B. Klein
entered a demurrer when she was ar
raigned in the city court this fore
noon, and the girl was ordered held
for the Superior court in bail of S100.
This, it was later learned, is merely
a step towards dismising the COM
plant against the girl, whose relatives
have agreed to make restitution to the
Rowland Company and other firms
that were victimized by the ~shrewd
young woman.
Irma's lawyer pleaded that she has
been subject to epileptie attacks from
early childhood, and that her family
physician says she is not wholly re-
sponsible for her conduct at times. He
pointed out that any person to at
tempt to do things she had done with
hope of escaping ultimate detection
must necessarily be unbalanced.
Irma's mother furnished the bail of
800 for her appearance in the Super,
ier court.
