Depopulation in France.
IN the New York Independent.

From the New York Independent.
The seriousness of what is called in
France the problem of depopulation, and
which we call race suicide, appears in the
appointment of large and notable
French commission to make careful
study of it. with view to legislation.
1t is composed of leading members of the
government. senator's deputies and
mayors of the principal cities of France.
For many years there has been partial
and fragmentary treatment of the sub
ject but the evil has now become SO seri-
Gus that it requires more complete
study The commission will be divided
into five subcommissions. One of these
will take i'm hand the simplification of
the laws of marriage. the. repression of
infanticide, the propagation of neo-
MalthuSanism and naturalization of inn
migrants. Another will consider the mil
tary side of the evil. it's effect on recruit
ing the army. and In what way to main
tain it's strength. third will investigate
the social causes of depopulation, particu-
larly infant mortality, the care of women
before and after childbirth. and protec-
ton Of the health of children, and par
ticularly how Ito combat alcoholism and
one of its sad effects, tuberculosis to
organize insurance. TO ameiorate the con-
diton Of places of residence and hygiene
generally fourth subcomnission will
consider what measures are needed OH
the financial side. to aid families having
children, and to encourage childbirth.
whether by tax relief or by direct aid
in case of numerous families. The fifth
subcommission will take the investiga-
tions of the four others and coordinate
them. and suggest the legislative action
that will be needed to increase the popu-
latlon and to raise recruits for the de-
fense of the country in case of war. In
France the births do not keep pace with
the deaths, and that is a very serious
matter in country which. unlike ours.

Of Alexander the Great, holding in the

was to receive all the waters of the

the scheme. But 1t was eventually re-

In addition to building up the three
frontages of the square along Harvard

the square from west to east, which has
been named Hobart street, the same as

and, as il was desirable to have 1t opened
all the way through. Mr. Wardman
bought two of the houses and removed
them, thus clearing a space the width OF
Hobart street to the east. The land
needed for the street extension was then
condemned. two-thirds of 1t being dedi-

These new buildings are looked upon
as illustrating the current growth of the

east from 14th street along New York

All these links between the city and the
country pass through farming regions
and provide all the variety of choice land
which is found in a level country bor-
dering OH the river and the mountainous
regions of upper Maryland and Virginia
The tide water and the mountain sections
with their varied soils and climatic con-
dtions now find in Washington their
natural market. 1t is this latter circum-
stance that explains much of the activity
i'm farm lands. There is question
about the demands for all sorts of farm
products. and one of the attractions of
the markets of the city today is the fact
that there can be found truck gardeners
and farmers from the adjoining country
offering for sale vegeta bles and eggs and
chickens and other food articles having
that most desirable quality of freshness.
The market is accessible. and is likely
to become more as the trolley roads
develop more completely their service and
supply milk trains and other facilities de-
signed to bring the agricultural country

SMALL PLACES ARE DESIRED

The early coming of the spring is an

property for sale. even if it is discouraged
by the ground hog. But the ground hog
may be mistaken, as has known TO be
the case and. besides, ii is just as well TO
start a campaign Of that sort in plenty
of time. while people are thinking about
carrying out plans which have been dis
cussed during the winter evenings.
For it is found that such plans have in
some instances a wider scope than mere
ly providing home for the family There
is also the idea Of adding to the income
by owning a bit of ground where a chick
en- run can be built and also where there
can be garden patch. There is wide
range of demands of this character ex-
tending from a farm to a house site, or
building lot perhaps slightly larger than
is found in the ordinary city subdivision.
Some people merely want in place
of this sort. besides a home, sufficient
ground where they can have a garden
to supply their own table and room for
a chicken run that will be a source Of
the meat and eggs for their own USE
Others are more ambitious and plan to
have a place where they can raise vege-
tables and chickens for the market, and
in this way add to their incomes. Then
there is the demand for farms where men
want to live for a part of the year at
least and have the relaxation from the
routine of their business that comes from
j managing a farm and pottering about the
place.
Demand Is Varied.
1t has been found that the demand at
this center for country property is a
varied one. This is quite evident from
even a casual knowledge of the country
hlfput Washington, whether one gods
north or south. or east or west from the
city. Beyond the fringe of merely SUBJ
urban settlements. which have advanced
farther and farther into what was a few
years ago a farming region. is to be
found the homes of those whose business
and interests are in this city.
The extent of such a zone of influence
of this city is difficult to describe, for
with the building of trolley roads having
| radii of twenty miles and more from the
White House. the purely rural popula-
ton of Washington has greatly increased
