Albert, Edwards Wiggam, biologist
and publicisr of New York. declared
in an address prepared for delivery
here today before a group of Kansas
teachers.
"Our beautiful women soon will
cease TO exist except in pictures and
statuary," Mr.. Wiggam asserted.
He based his conclusions on the dis
parity between the birth rate among
American women of the highest type
and that among low class immi-
grants"
"On an average, one child is born
to ever three of the graduates of our
leading women's colleges" said Mr..
Wiggam, but one low class. broad
backed, flat-chested, stout-legged
high-necked. stupid, ugly immigrant
woman, will in the same time produce
three.

with. a decline in beauty there
always comes a decline in intelli-
gence.
Every decline in the intelligence
brings a decline in morals, for intelli-
gent people are more moral than
stupid people,.
"The crime wave is no mystery to
biologists who have studied birth rates
among the unfit for the past hun
dred years.
"There is only one way out. The
old family ideals must be restored.
The old American homestead with it's
good-sized family of well-born chill
dren must be rebuilt. The mother
must replace the flapper as the ma
tional ideal.
Motherhood must again become
fashionable among our upper classes
aas it was two generations ago. Sound
education along lines of race i'm
provement is our only salvation.
Otherwise American history soon
will be written only in its ruins"

Travel bu Airshib

4 PROPOS of the remarkable voyage of
~ the-navy airship Shenandoah, formerly
the Fri, from the New Jersey coast
to st. Louis, Missouri, it is highly interest
ing to hear so able an authority as Rear
Admiral W. F. Fullam predict that dirigi-
bles are to play leading role in Americas
transportation system.
The airplane has scored, Of late, so many
thrilling triumphs that We are near to for
getting the past achievements of its giant
comrade In the sky. In the last two
decades, Admiral Ful1am points out In
the current number of McClure's, the Ger
mans have constructed and operated one
hundred and twenty-five ZeppeIins with
notable success In 1919 the German
built Bodenese, four hundred and twenty
ftve-foot ship, made one hundred and three
flights in one hundred days covering
th1rty-two thousand miles, and carried two
thousand four hundred passengers" Sub
stantial, too, are Britain's attainments in
this province of aviation. Flights covering
an aggregate distance of two million two
AuAuISu anu IOfCy-LlV0 thousand miles and
consuming Lightweight thousand hours
were made by British airships during the
war; and still more memorable was the
transatlantic flight of the R-34 in July.
1919, the voyage from London to New York
being made in four and half days. against
unfavorable winds and clouds Such rec
ords, together with the more recent exploits
OF the Shenandoah, bear witness that the
dirigible is far past it's merely experimental
stage
Disasters to this sort of craft are charged
to weakness of structure or to use of NV
drogen gas, not to any inherent defect or
danger in the type itself. ENGINEERS" saws
Admiral Fullam "are discovering how to
make airships still stronger, and the sub
stitution of helium for hydrogen will make
them perfectly safe for helium will not
burn" The dirigible's capacity for carry
ing large number of passengers and a big
bulk of freight over long distances, suits 1t
peculiarly well to the weghtier work of
aerial transportation.

THE "ALTAR OF HEAVEN"
By DR.. Frank Crane

tn HE greatest religious building on earth,
in my opinion, is the Altar of Heaven
In the city of Pekin, China.
I have seen most of the edifices men have
put up to the glory of God. But all of them
fail by large measure to approach, In maj
esty and purity of conception, iq sheer gran
deur, in the suggegtiveness of divinity, and
in the downright beauty and artistic appro-
priateness, this imposing masterpiece Of
China.
In the first place, it isn't house at all. 1t
is of the open air, and it's roof is the sky
You cannot get God inside four walls and
a roof. Limitations, roofs of any kind are
absurd The universe cannot contain Him.
And this altar reminds you of that.
Around about is a great park, full Of
secular trees. You penetrate this wood, and
come to vast enclosure surrounded by a
low wall capped with blue tiles.
4 Every church ought to be grove OF trees,
or by the many-voiced sea. There ought to
be something about every religious structure
to rebuke provincialism, to suggest the in
finite.
Within the great square, fnclosed by. this
outer wall, is circular space inclosed by
another wall.
Within this is the altar. I shall not at
tempt to describe it. You can find the de-
tails in any guide book.
Suffice it to say, it is about the simplest
thing imaginable, and about the sort OF thing
anyone would suppose an altar to be.
There is first large circular platform,
within and upon this another and still an
other, three gigantic stages leading to the
top. The top is wide, fiat space, paved
with great stones, and contains that most i'm
pressive of all things in heaven OF earth
Nothing.
There you are, on the top of the world s
greatest altar; around you are great trees;
above you is the blue heaven, with its drift
ing white clouds.
In the days of the empire. the emperor
used to sacrifice here Even he did not as
cend to the top, but stood on the grade be-
low. On top were only the sacrifices, the
chosen OF the fiocks, of the fields and of the
goods made by men,
The sacrifcial ceremony used to take place
just before dawn. 1t must have been an i'm
pressive sight; the emperor praying for his
people, all around and beneath him the
throng OF mobiles in full array, and above
them the brooding silence of the sky.
