At tention of Englishmen is again called to the fact that the birth rate has fallen to the lowest figures on record and that at the same time the infant mortality rate is going up.
 A man shortage greater than any England has known in its history is threatening the country, says the London Times medical correspon- dent who proceeds to compare the conditions here with those in Ger many, where he adds lowing to the farsightedness of the Germans the population jumped from 42,000,OO0 in 1875 to 6O,0OO,OO0 in 1905.'
 "The world at this hour is having an object lesson in the meaning of birth statistics" continues the cor respondent "The Germans swelled their total population not only by births but also by the prevention of infant death. which is one of the greatest works standing to the credit of a scientific people.

LIGHTS QUIT ORDER
 RULES IN ENGLAND
One Midland Town Issues Con-
 mand to Fire on ViOIatOrS
>Correspondence of enc associated Presu,

lcorrespondence of enc Associated Presu,
 London, April 20.-F'ollowing Zeppelin raids on the midland coun- tries this notice was posted in a Lin cOlnshire town:
 Tn the future, any person seen flashing a light or letting off any sort Cf rocket or fireworks when hoSllle aircraft are present or eXpectetd will be fired upon without notice.
 Fear Spy Work.
 So much fable has grown up around the Zeppelin raids that it is impossible to tell whether or not tlere is any basis of fact to the stories of spies communicating with the invaders by means of signal lights. After every raid a crop of stories appears about mysterious mo- tor cars with a brilliant upturned light concealed in the body. These stories are we'll watched for but al- ways come by hearsay.
 One Man Caught
 One arrest, however, did result in Lincolnshire after the raid. Walter John Bott, a commercial traveller for a malting house, was brought before the Lincoln police court on a charge of displaying light in such man. ner as to serve as a signal during the raid. Witnesses said that Bolt flashed a powerful electric torch in the street when the Zeppelins were heard. Bolts defense was that he was treat ing some bassersby to a drink and used the light in filling glass. The authorities took the view that to dis play a light of any sort at such time was a serious matter
 Fool Stories Told.
 Thousands of cases reported to the police by we'll meaning persons turn out to be too absurd to investigate. People who forget to pull their blinds down after turning on lights and then take dumb bell or Indian club exercises in full view of the street are oftenest in trouble The fact that their movements could not be seen couple of hundred yards away never occurs to the informers. But regu- lations about keeping the blinds down are closely enforced Tn the seacoast towns, not the hign of light is allowed to escape from the sea ward side of a house.
 In the midland counties, lighting is TOW much more strictly regulated than before the raid. One large njanufa curing town upon news of Zeppelins shut off all street lights, tied Up the street car service and closed all factories except two, which refused to dismiss their night shifts. After a few hours, when all seemed tc be safe, the street cars resumed running, and the flash from their trolley poles evidently drew the raiders, for number of bombs were soon dropped on the town in quick succession. The only two factories tC suffer were those that remained open.
