ito know that it was at all possible
that duty could be badly performed by
marines of any class"
General Barnett said that while

ceived by the general up to the time
he was succeeded as commandant OF
the corps by Maj. Gen. John A. Lee

NO RACE SUICIDE
Birth Rate Is A Per Cent
Higher Than Deaths.
Health Officers Report Shows
Increase Over Last Year.

In spite of the childless homes said
to exist in Topeka in appalling num-
bers, race suicide has no place in the
city's worries. Under estimates based
on the birth and death rate to date in
1920 the years score in births will be
"A per cent higher than the total of
1920 deaths.
Statistics in the city health depart
ment show an average of $50 births
per month in Topeka, or a rate of 1.95
monthly for every 1000 population, it
is estimated by DIR. Earle G.. Brown,
city health officer. Based on the re-
ports for the year so far, the birth rate
for 1920 in Topeka should be PA per
month for every 1000 population or
50,o22 for Topeka is used in making
estimates.
Deaths Here Annually, 774.
A death rate of 1.29 per month for
every 1000 persons in the city based
on the death reports for nine months
of 1920 passed, would make an aver
age of 13.4S deaths per year for every
1 900 persons. or a total of TIA deaths
at the end of the year.
The comparison of a possible yearly
birth rate of 1920 with a death rate
of TIA fails to indicate any approach
to race suicide. Interesting estimates
could be made on the probable in
crease in Topeka's population in the
next ten years. based on the above en-
in the number of future Topeka cfti-
zens born in a year should be added
the number of probable new residents
who come to Topeka in a year.
