IDEA FROWNED ON BY NATURE
Why SingIe-chIld Family Tends to
Become Poorer and Will Ultimate
ly Become Extinct.

That the 'one-chIld family" tends to
grow poorer and not richer Is the
principal point made In report by
the Child Study society OF Transyl-
vanla after collecting large mass of
data liz the Banat northwestern part
of Transylvania), where the system
most prevails. The Roumanian cor
respondent OF the Lancet Uondon)
writes:
Their report states that until re-
Gently 1t had been thought that the
system was purely question of
economics. People did not wish TO
distribute their lands and wealth be-
tom had now become independent of
land questions. II was quite clear
that the 'slngle-child' family did be-
come not richer but poorer. The sin
gle-child' generation tended To grow
up idle and self-indulgent. II they
were landed proprietors their farms
were worked by others, necessitating
payment of heavy wages.
Farmers began to understand that
the single-child system meant their
ruin, but The custom was deeply root
cd and the people We're very conserva-
tive. People who had several children
were actually despised.
Another reason for the single-child
system was feminine vanity; women
thought that by avoiding childbirth
they would remain young and enjoy
life fol longer time. The only child
was spoiled by his parents, and too
often entered early into q career OF
diSsipa ton, the result being rapid
physical and mental deterioration"

"Buckjnc the Tiger"

"Bucking the Tiger" is bit OF
American slang meaning to gamble,
or, more literally, to play against the
"house" or bank" in gambling den,
where the player has no chance TO
win. 1t Is probably derived from Chi
nese idolatry, the Detroit News states.
A favorite figure among the Chinese
gods Of chance Is tiger standing on
his hind legs and graspIng a large
cash (piece Of money! In his mouth
or his paws.
The name of the beast Is His Elk

Min. Once Privately Owned.

Uncle Sam didn't always have a
monopoly on coinage and printing
bills, nor did he have any particular
laws governing his money. Then one
day three men opened a mint Of their
own In Denver, and out or this mint
grew the United States mint In Den
yer; n law forbidding private coinage
was enacted. law forbldding imitat-
ing a United States coin or bill ana
various and sundry other laws that
Uncle Sam now has thrown around his
money and its production.
This private Denver mint, too, Is
responsible for the thousand or more
men drawing good salaries to see that
these various laws are obeyed, and
courts and lawyers for many years
past have worked and are working
because of this mint.

ITO boast" said my Japanese friend,

one of the cardinal sins. We so de
test Boosting that we go to the other
extreme, deprecating anything or any

he must be man of great ability

for me TO praise his qualities.
I'm speaking of our wives and chill
dren we do the same. We say, my
poor wife, or my insignificant wife,
although our wives may fultill our idea
OF everything woman should be.
ALSO the reverse Of this proposition
is true. We sometimes signify our dis
approval or dislike of some one by
speaking of him In terms of TOO high
praise.
Among ourselves we fully under
stand these things. II is merely code
we follow. But / fear that this prac-
tiee sometimes causes foreigners to
misunderstood US. Being themselves
accustomed to speak literally, they
are Inclined to take us so. Also, they
are not likely To realize that we are
most critical OF those for whom we
have profound regard. Why should
we waste our time or our critical con-
sideration upon persons who mean
nothing to us or whom we dlsllkei
