CHOCOLATE WILL Be
DISCONTINUED AS DIET
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRB.l

Washington, Jan. 12.-In spite Of the
fact that chocolate, is easily carried
and one Of the few articles Of diet
which will 'skeep" almost indefinitely,
Secretary of War Garrison has ordered
its abolishment as an army ration.
The reason assigned for this action
is report made by Dr. G, F, Long
worthy, Of the Department of Agri-
culture, who declared that the army
chocolate is "defective as to digesti.
bility." Soldiers have come TO regard
this food as the greatest and best
standby when under arms in the field,
when rations may be short.
Nothing of equal nutritious value
which may be carried as easily has yet
been discovered by the expert who re-
ported unfavorably on chocolate, but
experiments are being made in an ef-
fort to find some substitute for it,
which possesses all of the advantages
of chocolate, yet will not be 'deleter'
GUS to the health of the consumers" "
which chocolate is according to the re-
port.

SEGREGATION RATHER
THAN STERILIZATION
Necessary to Restrict Propagation Of
Predetermined of Race in An
Effective Manner.
INFANT MORTALITY AND
MARRIAGE SELECTION
Three Stages Involved in Choosing the
Mate and Associations Have Much
To Do With 1t.

Battle Creek, Mich, Jan. 10.-Segre-
cation rather than sterilization of de-
fectives, or restrictive marriage laws,
was urged today as an important fac.
tor in race betterment by Hastings NJ.
Hart, director of the department of
child helping of the Russell Sage Foun-
dation, New York, at today's final ses-
sion of the National Conference on Race
Betterment.
"In order to restrict and ultimately
to put an end to the production of de-
fective delinquents," said DR.. Hart,
sit is necessary to restrict the propa-
cation of the feeble-minded variety of
the human race. This may be under
taken by educating the people in the
principles of eugenices, by laws restrict.
ing marriage, by sterilization of defec-
tives and by segregation.
"Education against the marriage of
the unfit reaches only the intelligent,
and is entirely unavailing with the
classes that are most dangerous to the
public welfare. Restrictive laws exer.
else only a partial influence. Sterili.
zation is at best only partial remedy.
"Segregation is the most practical
and effective method. 1t has been
thoroughly and successfully tested with
the insane. There are in the United
States more than 100000 persons segre.
gated in hospitals and asylums for the
insane. Thirty years ago the segrega'
ton of the insane seemed almost q
hopless undertaking. What has been
done for the insane can be done for the
feeble minded" "

Marriage Selection.

Speaking on the subject, "Infant
Mortality and Marriage Selection" "
Prof. Roosevelt Hill johnson, of the
University Of Pittsburgh, said in part:
"It is frequently said that eugenices
is futile because the selection of mates
in men cannot possibly be improved
since it is wholly a personal and ca
pricious thing. This ignores the three
stages involved in selection by con-
centrated attention upon the last These
three stages are, first, the range Of our
associates, the choice from these asso'
ciates of those whom we admire, with
whom friendly relations are instituted
and, third, the actual falling in love.
In the this first stage are three fac
tors. First, the structure Of the social
unit to which we belong. How fire.
quently matings are determined by the
church, school or neighborhood; second
by our parents who determine these
church, school and neighborhood rela'
tionships.
The mother who sends her girl to
college rather than into the fashion
able set determines largely the type
of her fiance, not only because her as
sociates are different in the two cases
but because her ideals are differently
built up. The young man who spends
his time with fast girls is indirectly
determining the kind Of girl he will
marry, if, indeed, he is not thereby led
to abandon marriage, Let young per
sons Of both sexes be educated together

German Financial Resources.


Berlin, via London, Sept -30-The
response of the German public to the
efforts of the government to raise a
war fund of $1,250, 100000 has, it is as
serted here, removed all anxiety the
nation may have had regarding it's
ability to meet financial obligations
due to the war.
According to military authorities
the war is costing Germany about So
100000 day, inclusive of the money
spent on behalf of those who have
been deprived Of their bread winners.
The means of the government at the
beginning of the war, not counting the
permanent war treasure, but including
the reserve funds of the Reichsbank,
amount to about $125,000,000, which,
in the meantime, however, has been
considerably increased through the
issue of notes.
The amount which the government
could borrow from the Reichsbank is
unknown at the present time, but it is
estimated at about s750,000,0O0, max
ing total of about $2,000,000,000. At
the rate of $5,000,000 day, this sum
would permit Germany to carry on
the war for over year.

WORK OF SKILL AND DARING
Japanese WhaIemen Constantly Risk
Lives in the Pursuit Of Most
Dangerous Quarry.

Many of the Japanese whalemen are
most expert and daring men. After a
whale has been cornered, harpooned
and is slowly giving out from exhaus-
ton the nimble expert of the whaling
crew must prove his mettle.
The skilled Jap, after jumping upon
the animals back and cutting two
gashes in the head, one on each side,
through which rope must be run,
and tied, cannot always perform his
work in one trial Often the animal
makes a deep dive. But the little Jap
must hold fast to his quarry and dive
also, trusting to the fates that his own
air supply in his lungs will last as
long as that of the whales
The Jap is safer from being drowned
than from being crushed by the infu-
rated animals tail. If the little Jap
lets go it usually means his death
so he hangs on to the diving quarry.
Frequently these whalemen lose their
lives from drowning, but the members
of their crew look upon this misfor-
tune with something of a fatalistic
regard.
But the main business in hand is
the capture of the whale AS the fight
progresses and the maddened, fright
ened mammal grows weaker and.
finally, is dying, the boat crews row
closer to the body and pray for the
ease Of his departing spirit. Members
OF the crew will call out the words.
"Joraku! Joraku! Joraku!" and or
the third day after the mammal has
been hauled ashore a service is held
and prayers offered for the animals
future contentment of spirit.
AS soon as the animal has been
towed 70 the shore line he is cut up.
the Japs are making huge excavations
and penetrating inside the animals
body as though entering mine shaft
or gallery, and eventually making
their exit, all covered with blood. 1t
is gruesome sight, but is looked
upon purely as a matter of course
among the Jap whalemen.
