ENDLESS CHAIN

Western Europe's population increased 6 millions be-
tween 1910 and 1920, despite its loss Of about 2O 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 689,267 deaths. This was a pop alation gain of
close to II, 900, 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 90 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 tnat ala
not fall victim to diminishing population during the war was
England. It had more births than deaths all through the wal,
thoneb the surplus of births over deaths dropped from Sai,oo0
in 1918 to as low as $4,000 in 1918. The figure IN 1917 no
crawled up to $4,000. u 20

also their degree of insistence on war preparations, are regu,
lated by the supply of available cannon fodder, as compared
with the enemy's.

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 miigated
by the melting of the iceriver at its mouth. A shifting of the
earth on it's 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
az the ice age is nothing for the present generation to worry over.
AS for stopping war and pIlage, the impending doom of certain
areas Of the earth would simply cause a rush Of population to
other areas that would make our present troubles look like moth

THE REFEREE
(By Albert Apple

Penrod
High school girls spend an average
of $4.15 a week apiece, boys $2.oS,
according to a check-up in Boston.
This may rile old-timers who re-
call when many a high school lad
wore pas old suit made yer by ma.
In fairness Il 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 or collecting junk?
Diamonds
Americans are importing diamonds
at the rate of 65 million dollars
worth a year.. But that's only about
so cents q 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 consumer pays.
But, even at that, the price of ev-
eral movies matches our diamond
bill. We throw our diamond money
several times over into the garbage
pail.
Chinese
Essex Market Court in New York,
which has been trying prisoners for
more than a century receives the
first drunken Chinese in it's history.
Did you ever see a drunken oriental?
The widespread use of drugs
among the Chinese, however, sug-
gests that the scarcity of Chinese
d%runkards 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 interestingly come
