ROMANTIC LOVE NOT IDEAL.
Cornell Professor Says It Should Be

ITHACA January 16.-Prof. A. p. Ush-
er of Cornell University. in speaking to
the Cornell Eugenics Society, says:
History shows a progressive develop
ment in the. conception of love The ro-
mantle sentiment is not the highest ideal
The whole history of marriage shows the
reaction upon each other of the idea of
marriage a sacrament and the notion
of it as legal contra ctual relation. The
romantic idea of love is fundamental
weakness. 1t takes no account of sep
arate individual or of an independent will
The highest ideal was expressed by Wag-
ner when he said that real love must be
of the strong for the strong. In the
clinging vine. or the romantic type. one
individual is lost. We now recognize that
love is not a thing apart and Inconsistent
with life. but a part of it, and that it
grows with the development of civiliZa-
ton.

Agrees Plan Is Feasible.

Senator Overman remarked he thought
the idea of using the rural mail carrier
was good one.
cit is entirely feasible. it seems to me, -
remarked Mr. Durand. They know the
people and they are going through the
country, anyway. The great advantage
is that you would have in them people
who have some moral and legal RESPONSE
bilty to do their work properly. When
you hire an enumerator for fifteen days,
and he does not do his work properly,
what control have you over him? l think
that is an important consideration
Director Durand promised to outline the
plan more fully in one of his annual re-
ports.
Plans will soon be under way at the
census bureau he told the subcommittee,
for the taking of a census of agriculture
in 1915. The plan of using the rural mail
carriers may be put into effect at that
time. That census is estimated to cost
about 100000.

HOSTS Of BABIES DIE
NEEDLESSLY EACH YEAR
Number Estimated at 150,-
600, Miss Lathrop Tells
Senate Subcommittee.

One hundred and fifty thousand babies
less than a year old needlessly die in this
country every year.
This was the statement which Miss
Julia Lathrop recently made before a
subcommittee of the Senate committee
on appropriations in urging an increase
of appropriation for the work of the
children's bureau, of which she is the
director. She explained to the committee
that the inquiry into infant mortality
will be the first big task to be under
taken by this baby bureau.
I'VE purpose to go into the smaller
cities, keeping away from the great ur-
ban centers, which have at present their
share Of attention from private and pub
lie health agencies.
The best estimate is that at least
100000 babies less than a year old die
annually in this country, and the opinion
of the great foreign and American authori-
ties is that at least half of this number
die needlessly. because We do not apply
methods of civil and private sanitation
that are already well known. We feel
that Americans ought to take cognizance
of the question of infant mortality, which
is engaging the attention of people all
over the world.

Of Great Importance.

1T is of great importance if We are
losing 300 coo or more babies less than a
year old each year, the greater part Of
whom ought to live, and the best authori-
ties say there ought to be practically no
loss of infant life under one year if chill
dren are well born and we'll cared for.
Dr. Newsholme, the great English author
ity, is quoted to this effect
"A child of ten has perhaps score of
times better chance to live than the baby
lust born 1t is very extraordinary how
after the first year the chance of life goes
up, and yet all the authorities say that by
good hygiene very large proportion of
these deaths could be prevented. The
blindness of the newly born is preventa-
BILE, and it could be prevented if we could
get baby's birth promptly recorded All
these are matters that will come out
think, with distinctness and illumination
thr ,ugh this inquiry.

Suggests Using Mail Carriers.

Il had a plan in my mind and have
intended to put it in writing sad Mr.
Durand. 81 think we could save great
deal by using the city and rural mail
carriers But | do not think it is so
much that the public complains of the
cost: it is as to the accuracy of the work
We should ask not more than one-third
the questions about agriculture. ana we
should cut out four or five questions in
the population schedule, and we could
also simplify the manufactures schedule.
But the United States has a more COM
plicated population than almost any
other country in the world; we have the
whites and negroes and the Indians and
Chinese and Japanese. They must all
be distinguished.
We have a native population and a
foreign population. and the foreign popu-
1ation is composed of a great many diff
ferent peoples We want to know where
in the Italians differ from the Germans
and the Germans from the Russians, and
so That means more details in the
tabulations. as well as more details in
the inquiries They do not. | imagine, in
European census, ask any questions
about the number of year that the for
eign-born population has been in the
country, because they have practically
no foreign-born population. We must
ask that question in taking our census.
We must ask the foreign born whether
they have become citizens not, and
many questions of that sort. Then / do
not know that in any foreign country
| they ask questions about illiteracy. In
most of the leading European countries
| there are almost no illiterates. We have
| a great many of the negroes and of
| foreigners who have come from places
| where there is a great deal of illiteracy
| who are illiterate. In Germany they do
| not have to ask that question. because
| illiteracy is practically unknown at pres
| emit 1t was not fifty years ago.

Cox, is a resident of Maryland. Friends
were today trying to locate her to advise
her of Mrs. simpsons death.
Coroner hewitt visited the 22d street
house yesterday afternoon and viewed
the body of Mrs. Simpson. He thinks
she fell over a small stand in the hall
way when she went to the lower floor
possibly to get food or medicine for her
injured husband, and that she was &C
badly stunned that she was unable to
make an cutlery.
The coroner thinks death was due to

| City and rural nail carriers may be
| largely used to take the next census
| of population. Director f. Dana Du-
rand of the census bureau recently told
a subcommittee of the Senate commit
| tee on appropria tons he thought a plan
for using this army of federal employees
could be worked out for future census
taking
The discussion came about when Sen
ator OVerman asked Director Durand
regarding the cost of the taking of the
census in this country as compared with
! the cost in other countries. The last
census. that of 1910. cost Uncle sam
about $1i0G0,O10, and this is very much
greater than the cost of similar work
in other countries In Great Britain. MI
Durand said. the cost is about S2oo.pjo
although this does not include a census
of agriculture and manufactures as
that of the United States does In Ger
many it costs less than $1,O00,00o to take
a census.
Il think we ought to take our censuSes
more cheaply, remarked MI. Duldiu'
"but we cannot do so if Congress requires
us to ask as many questions as we 90
and requires us to use the methods we
used this time of collecting figures
Senator Overman asked if Mr. Durand
had ever prepared a plan by which this
country could save money in census tax

\ TURNED TO TRAGEDY.
Thi Three Lives Lost and Many
Persons Seriously Injured.

Long Beach. Cal, May 24.-Too
weak to uphold the burden Of nearly
10000 human beings assembled for
the festivities Of British Empire
Day." the land end Of the big dou-
Bile decked municipal pier in front
OF the city auditorium collapsed to-
day. Hundreds of persons on the top
deck were plunged down on the heads
of other hundreds crowded on the
second deck. The lower deck then
gave way and all were dropped
down chute Of shattered wood
work to the tide-washed sands 25
feet below.
Thirty three persons, mostly wo-.
men, were killed by the shivered
timbers or crushed to death by the
falling bodies of companions and
friends. Fifty more were seriously
injured, while hysteria and fright
caused the disabling OF scores of
others.
A section Of the auditorium which
went down in the crash, and the
debris from it, was added to the
| wreck that fell on top Of the injured
| and dead.
The accident occurred few min
utes before 10 o'clock. The Empire
day parade, the principal feature Of
the celebration in honor OF the late
Queen Victoria's birthday anniver-
sary, had just ended and the partici-
pants with thousands Of other visit
ors were crowding up the steps of
the pier and surging towards the au-
ditorium when the pier floor sagged.
An instant later the supports gave
way, and the crack and groan of
breaking timbers mingled with the
shrieks and cries of the victims, as
all went down into mass of broken
wood and writhing human forms on
the sand.
Virtually the entire landing OF the
pier was wrecked and a portion of
the auditorium front fell. The cause
OF the accident was the oyerburden-
ing of the pier.
When the auditorium front fell,
those near the doors tried to get out
of the pier and went down on top of
the scores who already lay hurt or
dying or the sand.
