8. N. p. North, director of the thir-

made the following statements before
the American Statistical association
at the Copley-Plaza last night;
THE worldwide increase In the
cost OF living is due to the decreasing
proportion OF the people engaged in
productive agriculture.
In 1850 our population will be
three-fourths foreign il immigration
continues at the present rate, and ma
tive sterility continues.
despite the decreasing birth rate
our population will reach 800, 600. 600
by the year 1000.
while population increased Fl per
cent In the last decade. the food sup
ply increased only 10 per cent.
THE living wage Is burning issue,
and we must soon face the questions
OF old age pensions and workingmen' s
insurance.
.srhe science OF statistics will be
the means of solving the problems
growing out OF the war between CAPT

and social problems.

Under the new automobile tax law.
an old car in Michigan is taxed as
much as new car. Value cuts no
figure. It's the horse power that
counts. The law was framed primar-

eddy the fact that the trainers thought
an old car would wear ont just rs
much road as new car of the same
horse power. hence the equality in
the tax.
