nEsERT TREAsUREs

From Gobi-a Desert Wonder
House" by w. D. Matthew, In Asia
Magazine.
What is the significance of these
striking finds which the Third ASH
attic Expedition has brough to HghI
in the Cobb desert? First, In the
matter of geography and travel the
expedition has shown what can De
done with modern equipment, thor
oughly planned organization and
carefully picked staff. An almost
unknown region in the heart of Asia,
without roads, almost without trails,
supposed to be a sandy desert with
mountain ranges extending into us
borders, has been traversed, the route
thoroughly mapped with exact ana
detailed topographic and geologic
mans. and shown to be a very diff
ferent type of country from what
had hitherto been supposed. 1t is n
country much like Wyoming and
other western states and with equal
promise for future development. 1t
can be. for ii has been, traversed and
explored without loss, illness or
breakdown of any members of the
party, without even any breakdown
or damage to the equipment that
could not be repaired on the spot
and without delays or serious mis-
adventures of any kind. This Is a
very remarkable record.
Second, the party had secured an
unrivaled collection of the modern
animals of Mongolia. This means
that the American Museum of Ma
tural History will in a few years
have in its new Asiatic Hall a fine
series of habitat-group exhibits illus
trating the animal life of Central
Z Asia. To the scientist the collection
will afford priceless material for re-
search and comparison with faunas
of other regions and will include
many species new to science or very
sHttle known.
Third, the great series of photo
graphs and moving picture films will
be an inestimabIe aid In nature study
outside museums as well as within.
1t will be an invaluable record of the
wild life, which is probably destined
to disappear during the next CEN
fury, much as it has vanished in our
own country, and of the ancient no
mad life of Central Asia, unchanged
in essentials for a thousand years
but now fast yielding on all its
borders under the Influence of mod
ern civilization and trade.
Fourth, and greatest of the
achievements Of the expedition. be-
cause they open up a wholly new
field, are the extraordinary discov-
cries in the geology and the extinct
animals of Mongolia.

ENDLESS CHAIN

Western Europe's population increased 6 millions be-
tween 1910 and 1920, despite its loss Of about 20 million lives
in connection with the war and Spanish influenza.
This fact, announced by mortality statisticians, shows
that nature already has more than restored Europe to normal>
in the matter of its most important loss-human life. This, of
course, will not become wildly noticeable until the babies and
young children of the present grow to manhood and woman
hood. Right now there is a decided shortage of grown men
lover there
France checks up and finds that last year it had 759,846
births, against $780, 67 deaths. This was a population gain of
close to 71y000, with the birth and death rates almost identi-
cally the same as they were in 1913.
But Frances population is increasing so slowly that her
military heads are worried.
They have not forgotten that, in the SO years before the
World War;, Germany's population nearly doubled while
Frances showed very little increase.
Frances nightmare is the German Cradle.
In the early days of the war, France began to have more
deaths than births. Austria found itself In the same nix IN
1915, Belgium in 1916, Germany in 1917 and Italy IN 1913.
The only important European warning country that did
not fall victim to diminishing population during the war was
England. It had more births than deaths all through the war,
though the surplus of births over deaths dropped from 3I7,OOO
in 1918 to as low as $4,000 in 1913. The figure IN 1872 had
crawled up to 293,OOO.[
The British will "come back' rapidly in the matter OF
man-power. Their death rate in the last 20 years has been
reduced from II for each thousand to ID. !
Watch the birth and death statistics IT you want TO keep
close tab on the European situation. The mlltarlsts still con-
troll Europe, and their concessions In the direction OF peace,
also their degree of insstence on war preparations, are regu-
lated by the supply of available cannon fodder, as compared
with the enemy's.
The baby in its cradle represents the foremost armament.

NO NEED FOR R

The possibility of another Ice Age overtaking this little planet
Of ours has been the subject of some anxious speculation in certain
quarters. In fact, one writer, in commenting on the probabilities
Of the arctic glaciers sweeping down over the civilization of the
northern hemisphere, gave nirth to the following. eff such a
catastrophe came, how quickly nations and individuals would stop
warning against and robbing each other
Just how quickly this milennial would be reached may be
judged by the fact that the rate of movement of a glacier is less
than one inch per day. Of course the speed varies with varying
conditions, but the fastest moving glacier would hardly worry
anybody now alive, nor their immediate descendants.
A glacier is a river of ice and frozen snow. The temperature
at its bed is usually about 80 degrees. Frequently water flows
beneath the ice. The glacier moves so slowly that it has only
been in recent years that man suspected that they moved at all.
While this movement is irresistible the damage done is mitigated
sby the melting of the ice-river at its mouth. A shifting of the
earth ON its axis would affect this melting process. 1t is conceiv.
able that the ice might come down over our own continent. In
fact, the explorer Macmillan is to make observations along this
line.
& But even so, like the probable cooling of the sun, the coming
cf the ice age is nothing for the present generation to worry over.
AS for stopping war and pllage, the impending doom of certain
areas Of the earth would simply cause a rush of population to
- would make our present troubles look like moth

Our much-heralded trade with
the orient is back-firing. Instead of
America finding big markets in the
orient, the orient seems to be lind
ing big markets in US.
During the last IL months we
bought from Asiatic countries about
$50 million dollars more than we
sold them.
Borrowers
We are a nation of borrowers, as

Loans of all banks in the country
now total around 80 billion dollars
or enough to put every American
man, woman and child In debt $500.
Comparing this with the average
income, the American people-by the
bank loan route have their earnings

Oil
Mexican oil is eclipsed by the gey-
sers of flowing gold in the big Cali

leo in the first six months of 1928
were a third less than the total of
the corresponding months of a year
ago.

rience in the industry since Colonel

THE REFEREE
lBy Albert Appie)

Penrod
High school girls spend an average
of SAILS a week apiece, boys $2.53,
according to a check-up in Boston.
This may rile old-timeTs who re-
call when many a high school lad
wore pas old suit made over by ma.
In fairness to the youngsters,
though: The decreased buying power
of the dollar makes it necessary to
divide spendings by two or three to
make a Just comparison with the
former generations youthful pin
money.
The Boston average budget dis
closed that boys spend IA cents a
week apiece for cigarets, girls half
as much.
How long since you've seen a boy
moving a lawn en- collecting junk?
Diamonds
Americans are importing diamonds
at the rate of IS million dollars
worth a year. But that's only about
so cents a year for each of us-5
cents a month-which certainly isn't
extravaganza in the modern sense.
Making allowances for increased
prices, the nation doesn't seem to be
buying more diamonds than before
the war.
The figures quoted are wholesale
prices, not what the pays.
But, even al that, the price of sew
eral movies matches our diamond
bill. We throw our diamond money
several times over into the garbage
pail.
Chinese

which has been trying prisoners for
more than a century receives the
first drunken Chinese in it's history.
Did you yer see a drunken oriental?
The widespread use of drugs
among the Chinese. however, sug-
gests that the scarcity Of Chinese
drunkards may be less a matter of
temperance and moderation than of
nerves. Chinese have no nerves, in
the white mans sense, most of them
being able to undergo several opera
tons without anesthetic. This con-
trast will show itself in many forms
as the two races increasingly come

TRANSPORTATION RELIEF

s most encouraging to note the industry of the city gov
II in the disruption of the transportation facilities serving
Amboy and its envirOns. Rearrangement and elaboration
auto bus service was perfected with a thoroughness that is
Trustworthy. The travelling public was enabled to get to
ON their places of business yesterday and today as well as
be expected under the circumstances, and nothing but
endation was heard concerning the improvsed service.
should be remembered by those delving into the local
portation situation that Perth Amboy has been placed in a
eddy disadvantageous position in the whole matter, for while
gements were being made to cope with the situation caused
q abandonment of the Jersey Central Traction Company, the.
of the Public Service lines started, making the problem
complex. This problem has been solved, temporarily at least,
e credit of the local officials. Now let all concerned work
permanent relief.
With the emergency caused by the trolley mems strike well
officials of Perth Amboy, South Amboy and Keyport met
t night to discuss permanent improvement in the service
this city and Keyport. While the conference was pro-
the desired preliminary results as far as the present
tuation is concerned, it was conclusively shown that the
permanent cure for the transportation evils existing today
he formation of large, responsible companies to operate over
routes. 1t was made manifest last night that war has
eady broken out between the small operators on the South
Ike line, and this will not tend to bring about good
bnsportation. The entire bus service here was best described as
mongrel proposition. Permanent relief, it was felt by many,
El come only when the auto bus transportation is in the hands of
|rge companies, who have made a study of the entire matter and
bve the capital necessary to operate ~upto-date carriers on a regu-
Il schedule without the disturbing factor of competition.
With practically the entire state in the throes of a transpor-
crisis, Perth Amboy took the best step possible in arrang
y. for oonfararoa of Can+ra1 Navv Torsav un;cin o1i+iee in m
to regulate the situation as applied to this section. Another
difference will be held at which time much more no doubt will be
plished to help in the emergency.
The transportation situation bristles with possibilities and is
he most urgent problem to be considered today. The public, the
ictims of another labor clash and car line abandonment, will be
ompeled to sacrifice heavily, to suffer inconvenience, annoyance
nd losses. They must receive first consideration at all costs.
