In Comparison With 100 years Age
Each French Marriage Brings :
Fewer Than Two Children,

general causes assigned for the alarm.

France, now the lowest In Europe.
This Is condition that has been
accentuated by the war. which tooh

whence many never returned. The
war also created new conditions Of
living for women, gave them work

In comparison with 100 years ago
each French marriage brings fewer
than two children. instead Of four
children, whereas England's marriages
bring nearly three children instead Of
nearly five 100 years ago. In Ger.
many in 1S41 the average marriage
brought 4.44 children, as compared
to % In 1921. -
The birth decrease does not result
from high mortality or relatively
fewer marriages. Frances popula.
ton Of 100000 in 1922 is practically
that OF 1900. The number of mar.
riages for that year was $4,000, OF

Until 1914. the number Of births av.

Thus far only Gen. Gallieni. the de-

that its inventor says that It viii.
The man who is threatening to de-
stroy one Of the English capitals

erts, a mining instructor of London.
Perhaps Mr.. Roberts got lost In one
Of the swirling yellow smists as he
was hurrying to an important en-
gagement, so that he has since cher
ished a grudge against 1t. Be that
as 1t may, the fact remains that ever
since he got out Of the army in 1919
he has been working to find q method
Of liberating London from the fog
once and for all. --.~-
Coke Process Discovered.
The fruits Of his labor Is q new
process of making semi-coke from
coal. A mixture Of powdered coking
and noncoking coal Is subjected to
carbonization at a temperature Of
between 600 and TOO degrees cent?

coke. Mr.. Roberts asserts that 1t Is

and burns with a straw-colored flame
producing cheerful glow.
In attacking the fuel problem Mr..
Roberts has at least gone about in
the right way to eliminate the fog,

smoke Of thousands Of London CRATE
fires that makes possible the dense
fogs that this city has every autumn.

only one Of the virtues Mr. Roberts
claims for his invention. He main
tains that It will stop much Of the
great waste Of fuel that now exists
and will result In the cheaper mining
Of coal. The inventor says that about
100000 tons Of small coal annually
is wasted in British mines, which could
be converted into solid fuel and that
his process will convert q large part
OF this waste into useful by-products,
such as tar fuel oil, motor spirit, rich
gas and sulphate Of ammonia.

PRINCE MUST EARN LIVING
Aaas % Denmark Serves In Froneh
Army After Loss In Bank
Failure.

Copenhagen, Denmark.-Prince Aags
Of Denmark, whose fortune was wiped
out In recent bank failure, has gone
to Morocco to earn q living as major
in the French colonial forces Just
before he departed. at the time Of the
Christmas holidays, he said he was
genuinely sorry that he could not take
up an active business career In his
own country. He had never enjoyed
anything more, he added, than the job
he once held for several months in q
foreign branch Of a;well-known Ameri-
can firm, neither his employers nor the
other employees knowing his real
identity. >-.~. .al Z.
In Denmark Prince Aage was called
the American prince. His habits and
tastes were similar to those character
izing citizens Of the United States.
Most : Of his intimate friends were
Americans, and their mode Of life was
his. Soon after the war the prince
visited the United States, plunged into
society, and adopted many American
ways. ..
Recently 1t was thought desirable to
use the prince in an ambassadorial ca
pacity, but with his fortune gone he
was unable to accept post paying
only small income. So he has en-
tered military life, having the reputa-
tion :of being one Of the finest soldiers
in Denmark. Princess Aage and the
couples fve-year-old son have gone
to live in Italy. at the home Of the
princess father, Count Calvi di Ber-
COLO.

Once tho lure Of the last frontier (which takes in tho West Coast from Nome to San Diego) gets into mans blood, it produces microbe that simply cannot be eradicated. That was proven 8 few days ago when E. c. McMicken, passenger traffic manager of the Admiral Line, at Seattle, received the following letter from John F. Lynn of TIPS South Shore Drive, Chicago:

BIG MYSTERY FEATURE IS COMING TO COLISEUM

One of the most remarkable and thrilling photoplays ever shown any where is said to be "The Golem, which will be the Coliseum's super attraction on Tuesday and Wednes- day. The picture was made in Eu- rope and belongs to that unpredecent- ed class of massive historical pictures of which "Deeeption' and Passion are leading exemplars.
 The story deals with legend of mediaeval Europe and the scenes are laid in Prague in the 18th century. "The Golem" is a monster of clay brought to life by a Jewish Rabbi to save his race, and how he nearly brings that race to ruin is shown in some of the. most tremendous scenes ever pictured. Paul Wegcner, one of the most famous of European screen players, not only wrote the story and directed the photoplay. but

"The Embodiment" a powerful drama of truth and regeneration, a title says that it is not the disease. but neglect of the remedy which gen. erally destroys lifc. and then the story by James Cauldwell and Reid Heustis, shows how a beautiful girl was pronounced crippled for life. She would never walk again, they said. Nurse, doctor and father warned her of the danger of trying to walk.

Prospecting Lava Beds on lnmachuk River-Reports
 Murder at Panama.

I Esn route from De ys1g to New 1 York, J. H. Stnhl, well known Sew ard Peninsula mining man, visited in Juneau Saturday night fer a few hours, proceeding south on the Ad- miral Watson. He is making the 1 trip East for the purpose of raising capital to continua prospecting the i old channel of the Inmaehuck River. where he has been working for the past five years.
 On the tiiSasy that the Inmaclluck i lava beds fill the old channel and that explorations beneath these beds new district of considerable magni- 1 tude, MT Stuhl. in 1918. organized company to do th.s prospecting. 1 Two shafts were driven through to inc gravel. one 13a and the last TIC feet. In the second hole after drift 1 ing ever 600 feet gocl prospects were encountered. Before mc,e work can be donc said Mr. stuhl. it will l be necessary to soatir, additional funds which ha is confident he can do.
 Word Of the Killing Of a. white man named Henderson, an old-time. of the Yukon. at Panama ty an Indian,
 was brought here by Mir. Stuhl. The killing WIS done with a 20 callber rifle, tlse Indian shooting his victim in tho back flashing the body on Hen. derson's sled and driving it down river short disiarea below town, where it was found by mail carrier. The Indian was bound over by the |. s. Commissioner at Panama after preliminary examination.
 i There is considerable influenza to tho Westward and in the Interior, according to Mr. Stuhl. Both Nenana and Fairbanks were in the midst of an epidemic and at Ccrdoya, il was said there were 200 cases. The dis. case is said to be prevalent in a mild form only and few if any fatali- ties were reported.

 .'rhc point is that both forms in the modern world, and particularly the industrial world, tend to keep power in tho center, beehuse either in the form of socialist officials, as in Bolshevist Russia. or in the form of trust magnates, as in industrial America, for instance, few men in practice not only rule. but own the lives of all other people; they own the things they eat and drink, az well as the machinery they use, and they pay them q wage.
 '@rhe cure for this evil of monopoly is a reversal of the whole procedure, and an attempt again to scatter prl- vate property and to create as many small owners as possible.
 Tt seems extraordinary that there is no organ of opinion to express this idea, and all tho more because it is the most sane and simple and ordinary of all human ideals.
