SAYS BRITISH
EXPERT
Are National Burden When
They No Longer Produce.
Raps Equal Opportunities.

LONDON. Jan. 3O.-Many English
men boast Of their declining death
rate and the large numbers Of their
race who live, in their slow and easy
wav, to be ninety or 100 years old.
But the new president Of the In
stitute of Sanitary Engineers, j. s.
Afford, Is not one of them. In his
first presidential address, delivered
recently, he put forth the opinion
that further considerable reduction
in the death rate was not only un.
likely but undesirable.
The trouble with most OF these
old-timers, Mr.. Afford seemed to
think, is that they keep on living
but stop producing, thereby adding
to the national burden Of the unpro-
ductive.
There is obviously limit to the
weight we can carry In that respect, I"
the speaker said. "If 1t becomes too
heavy the nation will go down before
another which is not so encountered
and which may be Tar less intelli-
gent.
II know many reasons why we
should help a man to be useful, or
happy but / know none why we
should exert ourselves to prolong his
unproductive period"
Mr.. Afford then had something to
say about equality Of opportunity
which may seem strange to Ameri-
cans. He declared equality of Oppor-
tunity was a good rule for applica-
ton to the young but not for men
and women over twenty.
1t results inevitably in inequality
of achievement, he said, in polit-
ical theories which do not recognize
this are in conflict with nature.
land nature Is bound to win In the
long rum"

(, CLEVELAND, Feb. 3O.-Whether

in Cleveland since January 8, or
whether it is just another Of those
periodic c"reform waves which strikes
cities big and little the country over
no one seems to have definitely de-

true that since City. Manager VIII.

Scarcely had Hopkins taken his
seat and installed his cabinet when
Director OF Public Safety Edward

ordered him to "get the gamblers. /"

The police, however, also seemed

off men, and waited to see what
was going to happen.
There is, however, much specula.
tion as to whether the antigambling
crusade will assume countrywide
proportions, and whether the betting
at running and harness racing next
summer will come under the ban.
Sheriff Charles B. Stannard, the
official directly in charge of these
matters, has given no indication that
he will follow in the footsteps of
the city authorities.
Probably no city in the United
States had more widespread or open
gambling than Cleveland when the
order came to shut up shop. One
place, where entry to the gambling
rooms was from the street, through
a barber shop, and into the rooms
where at half a dozen tables the
blackjack" games ran wide open
from noon to midnight daily, it

was reported that the weekly profits
exceeded $4,000. There was no
attempt at camouflage in the old
days, it was said. Police officers
in plain clothes and in uniform
would stroll in casually, take a look
at the players, exchange greetings
with the owner and his help, and
walk out, according to common re-
ports.
The owner of the place, according
to reports in circulation, has made
and lost several fortunes since he
came here a few years ago as
sheet writer for another gambling
establishment, the owner of which
has also amassed a fortune by
ministering to the desires Of those
who wish to take a chance.
Feeling that gambling has been
pretty well curbed, although rot
relaxing his vigilance, Barry Is now
turning his attention to bootlegging,
an industry in which two rings,
known respectively as the East
Side" and "West Side" rings, are
reported to have amassed huge
fortunes.
BoOtleggers Next.
1.-THE bootlegger must go and the
business must be stamped out,
was the edict issued by Hopkins.
If the order is carried out in good
faith it will make Cleveland dry
for the first time in its history.
Another reform launched by' the
new manager was an attack upon
violations of traffic laws by motor
lists, The downtown streets were
congested with cars parked In vio-
lation Of city ordinances, and since
the issuance of the order police have
been busy notifying owners to ap-
pear in court, where fines and costs
euualling the cost of months stor-
age in a downtown garage have
been imposed.
ST have heard" Hopkins said.
"that our traffic code is rotten.
The best way to test it is to enforce
it," That is now being done.
At the same time other depart
ments of the city have been set
at work on planning comprehen-
sive improvements to meet the
need for wider and better streets
and to relieve congestion at busy
corners.
All in all, the first month OF
City Manager Hopkins administra-
ton has furnished Cleveland more
than its wonted share of surprises
and the newspaper boys more than
their usual share Of copy marked
First page-must."

THIEF GOING TO NEW YORK
TO WORK DOCTORS THERE

YORK, Pa, Jan. 29.-Following
the directions contained in a letter,
DIR. l.. H. Fackler recovered a bag
of valuable instruments which had
been stolen from his automobile in
front of his office on Thursday.
You may be thankful I did not
steal your auto" the thief said in
his letter. IT wanted something
which was in your kit. and you
will find everything else intact.
It's getting awfully hard for an

PHILADELPHIA COPS
cHAPERON DRINKER

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3d.
Police chaperons for serious drink
ers are provided in the center of
the city.
The idea was started by Lieut..
John Clay after he had been yer.
bally "manhandled" Friday by Di-
rector Butler at City Hall.
In front of each of the twenty
six saloons in the district a police
man was stationed early today.
So long as a potential drinker
was leaning against the bar rail
the policeman was ordered to stay
beside him. AS a result, it is said,
many an unwelcome glass of near
beer went down a throat thirstier
for sterner stuff.

AVERAGE MAN THINKS HE
WON'T DIE. SAYS BANKER

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 30.-"The
greatest difficulty is not getting
money, but disposing of it," declared
Arthur Young, Cleveland banker,
addressing a local audience. He as
serted that ''the average man be-
heves he is the one exception to the
inevitable law Of death.
Ownership of property ceases at
DEATH" he continued. The right of
disposal goes, by law, to the State;
but the State makes a concession
in granting the right to make o
will. which, once drawn, is in
violable."
/ Young advised that a person pre-
paratory to drawing up will, con-
suit good lowyer and select a
competent executive. A trust COM
any, he said. is the safest executive.
