BABSON SAYS
Revolution In Real
Estate.

Wellesley Hills, Mass, July "a
Roger w. Babson, adviser to more than
1000 of the country's leading execu-
tives, has called another turn.
In a statement issued today he out
lines coming conditions in the real
estate field and advises the purchase
of suburban property before it is too
late.
The big movements in real estate
usually get well under way" says Mr..
Babson, "before anyone realizes what
is going on. Because they have seen
land unused for years most people
think it will always continue so. This
is why the original holder seldom
makes any profit from real estate. The
value is So close to his nose that he
does not see it.

BIRTH RATE HERE SCARS AND DEATH
 RATE DECREASING

The population of Bridgeport is again son the increase. according to pr, William H. Coon, health officer and registrar of vota1 statistics. Dr. Coon bases his statement on the in crease of births in the city during the past few months.
 partment on the figures of births and also upon the deaths of infants: Through the efforts of the bureau or children is. constantly being lessened so that on recent Federal reports this city was shown to be about the best city in the United States for a. baby to be born in.
 During the five year period ex- tending through 1915, 1916. 1917. 1918 and 1919. the average death rate among infants was SS.5 for each thou sand births. In 1920 the rate was re- duced to S2 deaths for each thousand born. The rate in 1921 nt[ sh4wed ar a thousand. These rates are only for the month of September of each year.
 Incomplete reports for September of this year indicate that the rate will be approximately 50 deaths per thousand infants born. This rate Will very probably be the lowest of any city in the country. The complete not available because physicians and r1idwfves are allowed ten days after the birth of a child to file crtificate
 
 available amont the tenth of this month.
 So far this month, 267 births have been regist cred making rate of ap- approximately 56 deaths per thousand. Dr. Coon expects that a total of 300 children born during the month will be shown on the completed reports.
 The birth rate of any city is per- haps the most certain method or making check of the population Dr. Coon said this morning. He be- lieves that the rates of birth in Bridgeport show that the population has at least become stabilized, if not increased.
 The past three months have been the first in which a figure Of 300 or more birth were shown in any consec- utive three months for more than g. year The records show that in Jan uary 1918 there were 47S children born, the largest number of any month in five years.
 That prosperity, or better times, have an influence on the birth rate Is shown by the fact that in Novem- Der of 1920, the number of children the first time that less than 300 chi1- dren were reported in several years. The low mark was reached In June or the present year when only PAS births were recorded.
 The figures again started to show an increase in July with SIS births and in August with 305 births. September records when completed, are expect ed to shlow more than 300 births for the month.
 A state law requires physicians and rnidwives to record births within ten days after the arrival of the child. Four or five thousand of these cer- tificates filed each year in this city mediate danger of race suicide in Bridgeport

SAYS HE PREFERS
 PROHIBITION AT WORST T0LICENSE

Princeton, H., Oct e.-(By The Associated Press. )-Prohibiho at it's worst is better than license at it's best declared Clarence True Wilson, secre- tary of the board of temperance, pro hibition and public morals. of the Meth odist Episcopal church in re- porting a five months survey by that board of conditions in Chicago. It was made to the Rock River Meth odist conference.
 Secretary Wilson said that Chicago was selected for this study tibecauSe it was desired to uncover prohibition at it's worst" The committee com pared vet and dry years in their re- lation to crime, welfare and relief, eral business conditions. In each case he said. the advantage was shown to exist since the advent of prohibition days.
 justifies the policy of prohibition in Chicago" the report states. At the same time. a note of alarm must be sounded. Current crime statistics plainly reveal that the wet propa- ganda intended to incite uninformed or evil-minded people to violation of the prohibition law and to the con sumption of liquor is having an eff feet. Good results, so noticeable at first, are being modified"
 The report cites statistics of the medical superintendent of the House Of COrreceion who stated that in 1918, 345 cases of acute alcoholism were reported and in 1921 this number de- creaseed to 61. Chronic alcoholism cases in 1918 totaled 1,614 and dropped to 127 in 1921 Three cases of delirium tremens were reported in 1921 as compared with 109 in 1918.
 While the bank clearings in 1921 were almost the same as in 1918, the total savings deposits increased from $249, ,436,913 to S5o9,0S6,96S. Elm p1oyers of labor throughout the city almost invariably declare that prohi- bition has increased efficiency, de creased abse nteeism, and improved the general physical condition of the men. The real estate situation has been distinctly helped''
