At the End Of the Rainbow.
ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG.
Nv Walt Mason.
BY Walt Mason.

II don't know what I'm going to do
about my new neighbors,' said the re-
tired merchant. That man Kickshaw and
his wife are raising thunder all the time.
l believe he punches her head at inter-
walls, and l know she lambasts him with
culinary utensils. This morning he came
out of his kitchen door as though shot
from a gun and then lot of skilletS and
things whizzed past his head. It's dis
graceful the way they conduct them
selves, and l have a notion to report the
matter to the police"
Don't go meddling around that way
or you'll get into trouble" said the hotel
keeper You have no sense of humor
or you'd appreciate such neighbors. L
wouldn't ask for better nelghbors. The
curse of this country is ennui Especially
is that true with men like yourself. who
have no useful occupation. You re al
ways complaining of the f1atness and
sameness of life, and yet when people
come along and rent the house next door
and make determined efforts to amuse
you and keep your mind OF your Wor-
res you talk of speaking to the police.
Blow. blow, thou dOggone wind! Thou
are not SO unkind as mans ingratitude!
There's one thing you overlook when
you complain of Kickshaw and his wife.
Those estimable people have just as much
right to life, liberty and the pursuit or
happiness as anybody else, and who
shall choose their happiness for them? :
contend that if man finds solace and
comfort in beating his wife nobody has
any right to object SO long as the wife
seems satisfied. She understands his mo-
tives better than any outsider can. and
SHE doubtless realizes that he hides a
warm and sympathetic heart under his
cloak of violence.
I'm nine cases out of ten if you attempt
to rebuke a wife beater his wife will take
his part and ask you to go and mind
your own business. Some women think
they are being sighted If their husbands
don't lam them around regularly. Yet we
have brought our civilization to such q
ridiculous degree of refinement that IL
wife beaten moves into a neighborhood

indignation meetings. and old back num-
bers, like you threaten to notify the po-
lice The fact that Mrs. Kickshaw chased
him out of the house this morning shows
that she isn't afraid of her husband. She
probably enjoys life better than you do
and would be astonished if she heard that
YOU want to have her husband arrested.
I'd rejoice in such neighbors if / had
them. They'd furnish entertainment and
instruction the year round.
There's another thing you overlook,

and yet the spread of the science of trop-
ical medicine makes it as available a
place for human existence as equatorial

Sahara, it might support a population Of

with South America and North America
having a population half as dense as that
of Europe and equally dense as that
of Asia; and with Australia and Africa
having population only a fourth as
dense as that of Europe and half as
dense as that of Asia today. there would
be room for an immigration to those
continents of nearly nine hundred mill
lion souls. AS things stand today,
Europe and Asia. with about two-fifths

of the worlds population.

humanity which will bring the popula-

Europe for centuries witnessed one tide

as dense as the rest of the world. And

Asiatic tides of humanity ceased to sweep
westward, other tides in turn started out

IMMIGRATION.
xXX-FUTURE HUMAN VIBRATIONS
Bv Frederic J. Haskin.

1t seems reasonable to assume that inc
end of the migrations Of man is still
centuries away, and that many a genera
ton will rise and pass beyond earthly
concerns before any approximate equilio-
rum of population will be established.
Indeed, it is probable that so long as
the world stands economic opportunity
will call peoples, as well as individuals,
to move from country to country, and
from continent to continent. A study Of
the map of the world reveals how I'M
equally distributed are the people Of the
earth even when measured by the oppor-
tunties of getting living. For instance,
Asia has population of fifty per square
mile: Europe has hundred people to the
square mile; North America has fifteen
Africa eleven; South America seven. and
Australia. five
1t must be plain to every person who
has reasonable knowledge of the rela-
tive resources Of the several continents,
that South America has the latent ability
to support fifty people to the square mile
as easily as Europe can support hun
dred. and if that be true there is room
on that continent for 3O,OOO,0OO immi-
grants and their descendants. 1t also
seems to be evident from a comparison
of the relative resources Of North Amer
lea and Asia that North America, with
it's up-to-date western world system of
agriculture. manufacturing and COM
merce. can support a population of a
density equal to that which Asia supports
today with it's out-of-date and antigua
ted agricultural and industrial methods.
If that be true then North America
might yet find room for 100000, 600 souls.

do in the way of furnishing homes for a

Salvador. This little country. with an
area so small that nineteen countries like

fines of the single state of California,
has a population Of 100000 souls. In
| other words, while California today has
population of 2.371 coo, according to
the Salvadorean standard it could sup
port some forty million people. Any one
who has travelled from La Libertad to
San Salvador and from San Salvador via
Sonsonate to Acajutla and Zacapa and
who has beheld the hundreds of square
miles taken up with volcanic mountains
knows that Salvador has no greater pro-
portion of arabic land than California.

Duplicating the population of Salvador,
the other countries of Central America
