Twenty-Five Directors of a Kansas
City Bank Ali Started Their Careers
Practically Without Money.

DR.. James r. NJ. Johnston, president
sas City, at a recent meeting of the
directors of that bank, arose and ask
ed that each one present who had be-
gun business with a capital of $10,-
900 stand M. There were 20 direct
ors of the bank in the room, and their
wealth would aggregate about $40,
000. 900. Not man of the 25 arose.
DR.. Johnston then put another prop
osition He said:
Each man of you who had $4,000
with which to begin business stand
up"
The twenty-five directors looked
around at each other, but not one OF
them stood up.
Each of you who had $1,000 stand
up" persisted DR.. Johnston.
The directors looked at each other
and laughed. but none of them arose.
Or. Johnston kept putting the propo-
sition, lowering the amount by 500
each time. and when he got down to
$3.50 one of the directors stood up
and said that was the amount of his
capital when he began business.
Tie majority of the others began
without a dollar.
DR.. Johnston himself, estimated to
be worth we'll on toward a half mil
ION dollars, began his business career
without even a pair of shoes.-Okla-

0iminution of French Birth Rate.

The Journal Officiel has just pub
lished the French vital statistics for
1910. The most striking fact is that
the excess of births over deaths is
only 70,5S1, as against 81 ,061 in the
previous year. In England and Aus
triaHungary the excess is about 500.-
600. This result is a consequence
of the extraordinary fall in the births,
which have dropped from 1,000,O1S In
1859 to $4,000 in 1868, S99, 900 in 1887
and 774,35S in 1910 If the total pop-
ulation remains stationary it is be-
cause the death rate also has consid-
eTably diminished The actual figures
are 703,777. the lowest ever observed.
But DR.. Bertillon. the celebrated stat
istician, justly remarks that this re-
suit is due partly to the diminution in
births, since it is the infants that
furnish the largest part of the NOR
tally statistics. Thanks to the prog
ress Of hygiene and of care for the
children. infant mortality has fallen
from IA per cent in 1906 to IL per
cent at the present time.
