PREDICTS FEWER BIRTHS
solution to Japan's Population Prob- lem Sees Decline in Babies As Women Are Educated.

Tokio, Sept "A solution to the population problem of Japan is seen by 4ukio Osaki. Japan's liberal leader in a decline of the birth-rate coin cident with higher standard of ci- vilization and a higher education of women. Tn my featuring tours in the provinces" says Osaki, many questions are asked concerning this problem, the people displaying much anxiety and little knowledge about it. Progress of civilization reduces birth- rate. At present negroes are the most provocative, then the Chinese and Japanese. The more brain work Japanese women engage in the grat- CT will be the decline of their pro- creative powers. On the other hand, Japanese emigrants abroad do not ex- ceed 60o,o0o, and this poor figure is an eloquent testimony to the difficult ties attending the disposition of the surplus population by means of emi- grafton. Despite governments efforts to induce people to settle in the Hak- kaido, an excellent place for coloni- zatlon, the results have been unsatis- factory. It is therefore useless to try and solve the population problem of Japan by means of emigration"

WOMEN BAN HAIR NETS
Female Sex in U. S. and Europe Scorn Using Them Which Ruins Part of China's Industry.

Chefoo, Providence of Shantung China, Sept 7.-Women in America and Europe are using fewer hairnets than heretofore, if the fall in the market here is criterion. The mak- ing of hairnets is one of Shantung's s chief industries. More than 70,000 persons are employed in 270 factories in weaving into hair nets hair ob- tained from "pigtails" discarded by Chinese.
 Since the republic was established there has been a surplus of hair be- cause many Chinese cut off their queues which the Manchus required to be worn as badges of subjugation The black Chinese hair is easily dyed to various shades of brown, blonde, and brunette desired by western wom- en. Recently the demand has faNen off and many hairnet makers are un- employed About 70 factories were closed within a week. The industry Is described as unpromising. The Chinese merchants are wondering whether western women are no longer using nets because they are bobbing their hair or whether Europans are becoming competitors in the trade.

 Escape Reformatory
 Tn giving them the penalty, Judge Klett said that he had taken into con- sideration that both boys were 16 years old and that they were attend ing High school. He said that the fact that they were High school pupils was the only thing that saved them from a long term at the Cheshire Re formatory. which in ordinary cases was the punishment for the act.
 Serious Matter
 He said that taking q car without the permission of the owner was a very serious matter and that there was altogether too much of it going on. Speaking to Bowne. he said that he had learned that he came from good family and that his parents had done everything possible to make him do right, but that he was incorrigible. He severely arraigned Moreau for his part in the affair, and stated that he had seriously considered sending them both to Cheshire.
 Give Them Lesson
 The case had been continued since last Saturday when both of the boys were arraigned before Judge Klett
