FRANCES DANGER

The greatest danger which today
menaces France is not the thread of
a new war or even the possibility Of
an economic crisis. Her army is
strong enough to defend the terri
tory against any force that Germany
could bring against her for many a
long day to come, while French
! thrift and the bee-like industry OF
her population will always avert any
danger of economic collapse.
The greatest danger to France as
a nation undoubtedly lies In her
dwindling birth rate. To realize the
intense seriousness of the situation
1t sufices to consult the statistical
records. In 1900 there were three
great powers in Europe-France,
with a population of 20,000,000;
Austria. with 100000, and Eng
land, with 5000, 900. Prussia at that
time had a population of only 2'000.-
900. At the time of the revolution,
in 1888, France still led. with a
population of &c, 1000, 900.
A hundred years later the situa-
ton Of France showed a terrible
change for the worse. Russia then
had a population of S4,000,00O, Ger
many 5000, 900, Austria 99% 100000,
France 1000, 900 and Italy 2S,000,-
900. France, formerly first, now
ranked fourth in population. This
downward movement has steadily
continued, until it today forms the
greatest menace to the country's
existence.
In 1921, in spite of the addition to
her territory of the provinces of
Alsace Lorraine. France had a popu-
!ation of only 81 1000, 900. while that
OF Germany numbered o than
60, 900, 900, Great Britain counted
A, 900, 900 and Italy 100000 900. In
other words, France, from the cad
ing place among the great powers
has dropped to the lowest; and this
movement still continues.
In 1923 the proportion of births to
marriages was 166 to 100. If this
rate continues, the population In
1910 will have dropped to $4,000 900,
in 1850 it will be $1,000 900, aad in
1866 1t will have shrunk to 25,oOo,-
900. BY the year 1000 France as a
nation will have ceased to exist.
Before 1870 the birth rate in
France was 1000. 900 per annum. In
1876 1t had fallen to 100000, in 1891
to $4,000, in 1900 to $4,000, in
1918 to 745,OOO and in 1921 there
were not even 100000 births. II
this falling off persists, there may
not even be 100000 next year.

Sir Charles Abingdon started.

Sir Charles Abingdon cleared his
throat nervously. 1T does Mr..

confusing train of thought. It1eads
me to a point which 1 must mention,
but which concerns a very we'll

Paul Harley seemed to be reflect

"Of course, Sir Charles" he said,
presently, your statement is very
interesting and curious. and I shall
naturally make a point of going fully
into the matter. But before proceed
ing further there are two questions
l should like to ask you. The first is
this: What is the name of the well
known man to whom you refer?
And the second: If not he then
whom do you suspect of being be-
hind all this?"
Sir Charles perplexity and en-
barrassment grew more and more
marked.

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Inst one month TODAY we !

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Just one month today we left
Perth Amboy early in the morning,
like the birds, headed for the South
land. We took a peep at Jackson
vile on the afternoon of the follow
ing day-a busy city of fully 100, 900
souls, handsome churches, schools
and business blocks o. every hand
and a huge, stately railroad station.
The next day we are at the end OF
our journey.
We spend the first night here at
the Hotel Poinsettia-named after a
large, beautiful tree of that family
that overshadows the building. This
is a new hosiery, neat, clean and
comfortable, with moderate rates.
After our 1900 mile trip on the
train what a glorious sleep we en-
joy on those broad, luxurious beds.
Our host, Mr.. Jackson, is a pleasant
Christian gentleman from Virginia.
We are 125 miles south of Jackson
Vile on the highest ridge in the
state, among the pine trees, sixty
miles from the ocean on the cast
and about the same distance from
the gulf on the west. We are in the
center of the orange belt, $4,000
acres in groves in this ne~ighborhood:
They are now busy gathering the
fruit and packing to ship north. 1t
is a beautiful sight to see hundreds
of these bushy trees heavily bur
den>i with these golden apples,
flashing in the sunshine. At the
packing house we a get all of the
oranges, lemons and grapefruit that
we can use for nothing. So, We are
inculging freely In these free lux
uries.
This is a solid all-of-the-year-
round town of 5000 souls, with ex-
cc1ent ~stATes, schools and churches.
The people are remarkably friendly
and sociable. We already feel per-
fectly at home. 1t is good to take.
Come down and try it for yourselves.
Sunshine every day and thermometer
up to so degrees every afternoon.

"The Singers and Players

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Those who were fortunate enough
to witness the performance of "Alad-
din and His Lamp" both at st.
Peters Parish House, Perth Amboy,
and at the Masonic Temple. Totem
Vile, one year agp by amateur talent,
will have q sure treat in store for
them if they attend the next per-
Torrance of these truly wonderful
juvenile actors which Is to be given
at Masonic Hall, Tottenville, on Dec
ember 26, both afternoon and we
ming.
Their artistic success having been
firmly established, the young people
now travel under the fine name of
1.-THE Singers and Players" The play
selected is on a broader and larger
scale than those hitherto given; it
is Masks and Dominoes," q musical
comedy in two acts, and Is produced
and staged by Mrs. Florence Raynes,
to whom much credit is due for the
success so far achieved, and also for
the selection-nay creation-and
making of the elaborate costumes to
be used by the players.
The several ~rehearsals recently
held have shown that the young ac-
tors (there are thirty-five in the
cast have taken an unusual inter-
est in their parts-and no wonder.
Mrs. Raynes has applied the Coue
treatment to them to such an extent
that "every day, in every way, they
are doing better and better" What
more can N expect?
The scenic effects-from the
II. A, r. and II. S. N, studio-are
beautiful, no expense having been
spared to make the production as
nearly perfect as possible. The Co.'S
tunes are colorful and elaborate and
perhaps the best ever seen here
abouts in amateur theatricals.
Two songs have been written and
put to music especially for this play
by Jessica d. Roberts-one being a
Christmas carol "Sleigh Bells" the
other a skaters song Jingle" The
music of both is particularly catchy.
Owing to the limited seating ca
pacity of Masonic Hall tickets are
selling rapidly and crowded houses
are expected both afternoon and
evening. sBy special request the
Singers and Players will also show
Masks and Dominoes at Amicitia
Hall, Pleasant Plains, on Decent
Der %.

. USE H PADDOCK

1t Is about time to apply the pad
lock law to the saloons here that
persist in defylng the law %forbidding
the sale of intoxicating liquors. Nu-
merous raids have been made in this
vicinity OF late and enough has been
uncovered to substantiate the charge
that the city has been wide open.
But there is still a great deal to be
done. Apparently whatever is ac-
complished is the result of the feder-
al prohibition officers. The local
police either will not or cannot catch
the violators. Judging from the re-
Guest made by Chief Tonnesen for
$1,000 for hiring outside help to
clean up the city, he believes the
men under him cannot do the work.
But as long as the violators are let
off with a nominal fine and are per-
mitted to return to their places of
business again and continue in the
trade, there is not a chance of dry
ing up the city. The fine amounts
to nothing more than a high license
hich the saloonkeepers used to pay
anyway. With the high prices now
charged for drinks the dealer can
easily afford to pay a great deaI
more than he ever did before to con-
tinue in business.
II the authorities are really sincere
in their determination to end the
Violation of the law, they will adop'
lmore effective measures. One is to
send the guilty parties to jail instead
of letting them off with fines, and
the other is to put a paddock on the
Idoor where the law is repeatedly
Violated so that the property cannot
be used for any purpose whatsoever
flor a year. With this staring them
in the face, owners of property vii
mot take any chances with the sell,
ing of booze for fear of losing g
Years rent, and they will be more
.lparticular about the kind OF bushes:
that is carried on.
1t is well enough to clean up thu
city, but 1t is nat going to do mucl
good unless steps are taken to keel
It cleaned UP. Padlocks and jai
sentences will do It.

Although the effects of fear are
disastrous so far as the full attain
ment of our life's object may be
concerned. its physical effects on
body functioning are greater.
In cases like personal contact with
enemies, fear Of animals, worry and
excitement over financial situations
or failure TO govern the desire of re-
venge, the brain cells undergo a de-
structive change. Subsection to the
inroads or stimulus of fear, whether
temporary or prolonged, results in a
distinct loss in brain power. With
out unimpaired action of the Sraln

of bocy work, loss in power to act
ano ~larlial paralysis of real bodily
heal;n results.
Whether the brain is exhausted by
work or fear, its restoration is a
matter of rest and sleep, together
with strong resistance. But fear
continues its destructive inroads and
unless arrested in time. will cause
nervous and brain disarrangements
6f most serious consequences to your
health.
This let-down in brain power
seems to start other bodily losses.
Fear causes heart impairment
through overwork which results
from jumps, strain and increased &C.
ton when fear grips the body. A
peculiar sensation of despair and
prostration with a sinking feeling,
sometimes accompanied by a cold
| sweat, tremors and jerking muscles
is produced. At such a time. all
bodily functions which are of no d.
rect assistance in the effort towards
self preservation are partially or
totally suspended. In fact fear may
so exhaust the organism that death
may result.
Changes through fear are respon-
sible for the ~hyperactivity of the
thyroid and adrenal glands. Both
are of utmost Importance in govern
ing body action. The thyroids con-
troll to a great measure the wear
and tear OF the body or the process
of metabolism. The adrenals pro-
duce a secretion which controls
blood pressure through the nervous
mechanism.

The number of products in which
spontaneous combustion may take
place is astonishing. The danger is
recognized in most industries where
it exists, but it is often overlooked
in the home. Few precautions are
taken and if a fire does occur it is
too often considered unavoidable"
like lightning or a tornado.
Fires from spontaneous combus-
ton usually occur in out of the way
places and when no one is present;
consequently they often gain con-
siderable Roadway before they are
discovered. The causes are not UNI
derstood by many people, but they
can be removed very easily. In most
| cases only a little care and good
housekeeping r required.
Vegetable and animal oils when
spread over fibres, especially cotton,
are always dangerous. Hay, straw,
hemp, jute, cocoa fiber, fertilizers
and similar material are subject to
| self-ignition, especially when oily or
moist. The higher the temperature,
the greater the danger of spontane-
Gus combustion.
Oily clothing thrown on the floor
of a closet may readily cause spon-
taneous combustion. Getting rid of
unnecessary bundles piled in out of
the way places around the home
would reduce the number of these
| so-called unavoidable fires. Only
rags which have been used with fur
niture polish or floor oil should
either be destroyed or kept in metal
containers. Storing these substances
mar stoves. steam pines and hot air
furnace ducts is particularly danger
Gus.
Newly mown hay is a frequent
cause of fire and many barns are
burned because the owners are too
anxious to store the crop, or attend
to it too late in the season. Better
ventilation OF the barn will remove
| the heat generated in the hay NOW,
/ Thick layers of hay, like thick bun
dies of rags and clothing are more
likely to cause fire than thin layers,
