Frederick L. Hoffman Makes
Suggestions at Conference.

BATTLE CREEK. Mich, Jan. g.
Significance of a declining death rate

diseases and the causes of declining
birth rate were among the subjects
on the program for discussion at the
opening session today Of the Ma
tional Conference on Race Better
ment. The speakers included DR.
Stephen Smith, president Of the con-
ference; r. E. Rittenhouse and DR.
]. McKeen Cattell. all of New York;
Frederick L. Hoffman, of Newark
n J., statistician for the Prudential
Insurance Company. and Professor
Walter F. Wilcox, of Cornell Uni
versity.
On the basis of available statistics
from civilized countries Mr.. Hoffman
estimated the worlds birth rate a.
343 a thousand and the worlds death
rate at ESQ, leaving an annual natura
rate of increase of SO for each thou
sand of population. "The present rate
of natural increase" he said, 'fis GER
tain to grow If the downward ten
deney of the death rate is further
augmented by sanitary improvement
particularly in the case of uncivilized
countries and primitive races"
Mr.. Hoffman declared that during
the last thirty years the death rate
for England and Wales has decreased
from 1914 to 1877; that of the German
Empire from 25.3 to 179; that oil
American cities from PSI to 1872
"There is no question of doubt con-
corning the general Improvement in
health conditions throughout ths
world" Mr.. Hoffman declared. Foi
further improvement in race condi-
tons he made the following sugges-
tons as points to bear in mind:
The Importance of the conservation
of the food-producing natural re-
sources of the world; the necessity
for improved methods of agriculture
the required reduction of economic
waste; pressing need of rational town
planning and improved methods OF
housing; education in practical do
nestle economy; rational control Of
marriage and divorce; improved
methods of general education; prob

longevity and higher educationa
ideals.
"If the prolongation of life is to b'
really worth WHILE concluded Mp
Hoffman. "the present disharmonie:
of human existence must be as far al
possible eliminated. Whatever
changes for good may result from
improved methods Of production, from
increased earnings and shorter hour
of labor they will all be of small
consequence unless balanced by al
even greater advance in the moral
Intellectual and spiritual type of tn;
generation which is yet TO be-"

Mr. f. l.. Ginger. the democratic
candidate for Probate Judge, was in
town the first of the week in the in
terest of his candidacy. This is an
office the salary of which has been
reduced to such figure that it has
little alurement to a competent man
unless he has other business connec-
lions. Mr.. Ginger has been a resi-
dent of Shoshone for the past six
years, having followed various pur-
suits. About three years ago he was
injured on the railroad, and was laid
up for some time, since which time
he has been incapicated from heavy
labor. He is a competent man in ev-
cry respect for the Office he seeks
and is deserving of the support of the
entire party.
