SAVING IN COST OF
 MAIL BAGS PLANNED

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. H. The traditional blue striped United States mail bag is going to give way to the economy test that is being applied in all directions these days by Brig. Gen. Lord, director of the budget.
 When budget bureau officials could find no good reason why the government should pay a cent a yard more for the blue striped can vas than the plain gray variety, General Lord decided that the post office department hereafter will use the latter, and thus effect an an- nual saving of about $49,OOO in the cost of mail bags.

UNITED STATES ENDANGERED BY OVER-POPULATION THINKS
 A UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 11.-Persons living will see a population of 25O, O00,000 in the United States if the present rate of increase keeps up, according to Professor A. B. Wolfe, of Ohio State university, speaking here recently before the American Statistical association. But it will not keep up, in the professors op- inion. He is fairly certain the wom- en themselves, the potential moth CTS of the future, will take measures to prevent it.
 Unless increase is quickly and greatly retarded, reaching the sat uration point is matter of only few generations at most, not thou sands of years as popularly suppos- ed," Professor Wolfe said. ''In the absence of an improbable revolu- tionary improvement in agriculture, we shall be pointedly confronted with the choice of reducing either our birth rate or our standard ot living A very essential part of the population problem is to get the people to see that they are con fronted with a condition, not the ory.
 Even if it could be demonstrated that this country could support 5O0,- OOO,O0O people by eliminating waste and giving up meat, the standard ot living could continue to fall and the problem of numbers continually get worse. The only happy people would be the sword-rattling generals. Many of our minimizing American wor- ship of size and growth, without in- quiry into the human values involv- ed"
 Professor Wolfe scores the opti- mists who believe that progress can work miracles. They rely on mi grafton and invention. They see vast empty spaces. The state or Texas especially appeals to their imagination. Most or them nave never been there.
 What are the facts?'
 "Only inferior lands, limited in extent remain for settlement Progress itself involves a paradox. It is in conceivable that technical advance can maintain the pace it set in what Wallace called the wonderful century,, and which Keynes thinks may prove to have been "a magnificent episode In the main, future improvements are to be looked for in the fourth decimal place. There is a limit to the degree to which cheapened manufactures can offset increasing costs ln eX- tracing raw materials from natures resources which are being exhausted with whirlwind rapidity."
 Taking up the opposition to birth control Professor Wolfe declared: Tt is fault of population theory that it is man-made. Such attitudes never count the vital costs of high birth rate-the costs to the women of the race The very essence Of economy is to balance real costs against real income A valid popu- lation theory must take account of the way in which half the race, hitherto practically ignored, will cal culate the costs-as against the sat isfactions large families"

 STRAIN OF RYE PLANT

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. H. A new strain of rye, resistant to three of the worst grain crop diseases, has been developed by Dr. E. B. Mains of the Puddue agricultural expert ment station, who told the American Phytopathological society of his work.
 Some difficulty was experienced in obtaining a resistant strain that would breed true; but, after four years work, the new variety not only is constant in it's breeding, but resists leaf rust, stem rust and pow dery mildew, said Dr. Mains.

Games In The West

Chicago, Nov. 21 Rl-The Michi- gan Minnesota game at Ann Arbor has the leading role in the western conference football finale today, with grudge fights of six other teams contributing the ensemble.
 The historic little brown jug and the Big Ten title is the stake of the Gopher Wolverine tilt. If Minnesota wins, dts claims to the championship is undisputed; if Michigan wins, it shares first honors with Northwest crn, The victor gets the jug, now in Michigan's possession. Against Minnesota's baffling shifts, Michigan plane lie smashing by Bo Molcnda and passing game with Benny Friedman, sensational sopho- more quarterback, hurling and Oos- terbaan receiving. The Gopher's line smashing mainstays are Joest- ing, Almquist and Murrell, all in top shape.

 Northwestern, its Big Ten sched- ule over, faces Notre Dame, hopeful of completing last years start. when the Purple threw scare into Rockncs cavalry. Both teams are in good condition and recruited to full strength. Northwestern's star backfield of Moon" Baker, White and Lewis is regarded as fair match for Notre Dame's new four horsemen, Edwards.

 When Grange hears tho bark of the gun ending today's game between Ohio State and Illinois, he will be on his way to the showers knowing that his intercollegiate career is ended and with prospects of earning q fortune playing profess onal foot. ball, If he chooses to enter profess sional ranks.
 With no championship involved and with both Ohio State and Hi, nois out of the running, the game nevertheless will attract q record breaking crowd of probably S0,00O spectators determined 10 be in their seats or on their feet cheering the instant the famous red head starts q thrilling run. Gridiron fans be- lieve that Grange in bidding adieu to the intercollegiate gridiron will be determined to play the game of his life which means more of the sen sational running that made him the outstanding football star In America.
 There has been much comment on the kind of game Grange may play because 1t Is thought he may be up- set mentally from worry preparatory to the making of a decision as to his future. Grange appeared to be somewhat dazed and frightened yes- terday when horde of people, pushing and showing him around at the station here on his arrival, greet ed him with as much curiosity as greeting Jack Dempsey or a presi. dental candidate.

ALLEN DENIES HE
 BUILT BLEACHERS
Simply Sent Men to Help, Con-
 tractor Explains

The High school bleacher incident which had been practically ended by the decision of the building commis- sion to make no investigation into the failure of anyone to take out q building permit, is revived in the public statement today of William II. Allen, head of the William H. mentioned.
 He denies his company had con tract for the work and declares he saw no reason why he should take out q permit. His statement fol- lows:
 "On Wednesday. November II, my office had call asking for eight carpenters 10 be sent to Willow Brook park at n, m., Friday to erect bleachers
 "On arriving at the office I receiv- ed the above message from my book keeper whom l told to report back saying would send the eight men on condition that they would be in structed by someone representing the high school. Later in the day was told that these arrangements were satisfactory and I told the men to report as requested and 10 take their instructions from someone there.
 About 10 o'clock a. m. Friday. November IS, l went 10 the park to give the men their weekly wages and was told that they had been instructed on the bleacher erection, so I left the park and had other business 10 attend to. At this time I was informed that only portion of the bleachers had been delivered, owing to . truck having broken down in Glastonbury. Later two of my drivers were asked to go to Glastonbury and bring in the bal ance of the bleachers and this I un- derstand they did sometime late in the afternoon.
 Early Saturday morning I left with my family for New Haven and remained there until Sunday even ing. Our maid was at our home un- til 12:3O Saturday noon and my of flee was open until 1910 but at neither place was any call received for me.
 T inspected the bleachers on Monday morning and found that the carriages of the south bleachers had settled about six inches into the mud due to the heavy rains, but I doubt very much if they would have col lapsed even If the people had re- mained on them. These same stands have been used several times about the state and have always proved satisfactory I am told. The report that a few pounds of nails and q few braces would have avoid- ed the settling shows how little some people know about these matters, as the bleachers were not intended 10 be nailed at all and the bracing is done by horses which are part of the equipment. No one ever saw circus seats nailed in place.
 Under the above conditions I fail to see why I should have taken out q permit for this work or assume any responsibility for the erection of the bleachers, nor do I thank the building inspectors for giving me this uncalled for notoriety before they had looked into the matter.
