Lack of Coal May Change
The White Race to Black
Professor Fears Exhaustion Of
Fuel Supply May Drive Our
Descendants to the Tropics
Special Dispatch to Tho Trsbun'

Special Dispatch to Tho tribune
PRINCETON, N. j., Jan. 15.--Accord-
ing to Professor William Berry Scott,
of the Princeton faculty, the man who
lives a thousand years from to-day
will either have to adapt himself to
considerably more frigid temperature
conditions or leave the homes Of his
ancestors and travel to the sunny south
and the tropics. This change will be
ing to the eminent biologist and pal
eontoiogist, merely because the pres
ent race, with it's desire for comfort
during the winter months and it's i'm
mense factories using coal by the ton
night and day, will exhaust the supply
of that mineral by that time, and un-
less another artificial means Of heat
be found, compel them to alter their
mode of life.
Coal is temporary thing" said
Professor Scott. "A few thousand
years, at most, and it viii! be gone.
Then we must learn to get substi-
tute, and, in particular, then will be
the time when the tropics become of
vital Importance to man. Because
when 1t is no longer possible to keep
warm in winters and when the price
of coal is not merely high in price,
but is prohibitory at any cost, we have
got to migrate to the tropics and learn
to live there.
"If we are forced to live in the
tropics within the next few thousand
years there is possibility that our
descendants may change in hue from
white to black" Professor Scott de-
clares that scientists have as yet been
unable to discover whether dark skins
are the result Of generation after gem
Grafton of life under the scorching hot
sun of the tropics or of some other
inherent causes. In the tropics the
white man does not thrive Whether
he will learn to do SO in the future
is another question"

Woman Who TASTED to Save
Husbands Soul Begins to Eat
Hunger Strike Called OFF After Grand Jury Inquiry
Is Threatened; Physicians Rdcule Story
of Forty-eight-Day Abstention

DANV1LLE, H., Jan 15.--~Mrs. Ernest
s. Harrington, who says she has tasted
for forty eight days In an attempt to
influence her husband to join a church,
has ended her hunger strike upon being
advised by the Rev. G. s. Payne, Of
Eldorado, to take food.
The woman drank glass Of milk in
the presence of the minister.
Ernest s. Harrington, the woman's
husband, for whom she declared she
suffered the strike, says his wife has
"seen the error of her own way and
is willing to resume her daily routine
of life." He says he has not joined
the church and will not do so until he
gets ready" He holds to his oft-re-
peated statement: "I'll be darned if
I'll give in to her."
Mrs. Harrington is not expected to
suffer any i'll effects from breaking her
fast, as it is the general belief of ply
sicians here that she has not been alb
staining from food more than a week
at most. Immediately after drinking
the milk she admitted she felt better
and said she would not resume her fast.
Condition Found Normal
DR.. w. 0. Dixon, City Health Com
missioner, who examined the woman,
said he was convinced she had alb
stained from nourishment not more
than a week, and added that her con-
dition virtually was normal.
nurse employed at the Harrington
home the last week said she knew Mrs.

New-York tribune., 1921-01-16

The general decline in prices be-
tween July, 1920, and November, 1920,
the period with which the report deals,
includes the prices of many articles
which we're higher in November than
in July, it is pointed out, but whose
rise was more than compensated for
by the drop in other articles. Food,
on the average, dropped almost IL per
cent, but that average includesa drop
of 63 per cent in the price Of potatoes
and of 81 per cent in the price of
sugar.
Clothing Dropped ii Per Cent
Clothing declined ID per cent in
price, so far as the family budget was
concerned, but cotton goods dropped 26'
to az per cent and mems shirts and
coats and women's blouses and muslin
underwear, 20 to 25 per cent Coal, it
was found by inquiry from 151 dealers
generally increased in price, although
IN some cities there was a decrease in
the price of bituminous coal.
Gas increased in price more slowly
than cdal generally, it WAS found, al
though Fort Worth, Tex, reported an
increase of so per cent; Albany, N. Y,
or 3O.4 per cent, and Boston, Jersey
City, Camden, Newark, Paterson, Tren-
ton, Bayonne, Elizabeth and Hoboken,
n. j., increases of about 90 per cent
The cost of electricity declined in Bos-
ton. Milwaukee and Racine, Wis, and
in Louisville and Somerville, Mass.
Kent increases" it is said in the re-
port, continued to appear, but were
less sensational than in preceding
periods, and for the first time in many
months decreases were reported. The
industrial cities of Detroit, Lansing
and Flint, Mich; Akron, Ohio, and Elk
mart, Ind, reported a falling off in
rents up to 20 per cent in some cases.
The largest advances in rents noted
were IN Sacramento, Calf, and Belling-
nam, Wash, where the rise within the
ur-months period was somewhere
between 81 per cent and 40 per cent.
Notable Decline in Furniture
The average cost of all sundries COM
blned rose slightly between July and
Ncvem ber- Rate increases were al
lowed traction companies in important
centers such as Philadelphia, Cincin-
natl. New Orleans, Portland, Ore, and
Rochester, N. Y, as we'll as in smaller
places. Practically no decreases in
cartares were reported
occasionally newspapers advanced
their prices. Church and organization
budgets were increased to take ac
count of the greater cost of carving
on their work. Notable decreases were
reported in the cost of furniture,
house use furnishings and supplies
The decrease in the cost Of living
since July, 1920, is therefore seen to
have been brought about by decreases
IN the average price of number of
important articles of food and clothing,
which were so large as to offset con-
current increases in the cost Of many
other items in the family budget Mer-
chandise dealers especially seemed to
expect further drop in prices Of their
goods early in 1921"

SpectaI Dispatch to The Trtbune

LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. 15.-Despite
the fact that assets Of J. M. Buckner,
bankrupt tobacco broker, of New York

loss because some of the stock held

10 cents on the dollar. Liabilities arc
placed at $1,330O00. Buckner had
hypothecated warehouse certificates
for tobacco and borrowed money on
them Among banks which hold the se
certificates are the Equitable Trust

and the Shawmut Corporation, of Bos-
