an injustice on the resident property

an injustice on the resident property
owners.
Mr.. Duckett, speaking at the hear
ing before the service commission, ex-
planned the situation in the following
statement:
IF the apparent contentious Of the
protestants were to be adopted by the
Sanitary Commission and the general
tax rate increased to bring in an
amount equal to that raised by the
front-foot benefit charge 1t would bear
down more heavily upon the home
owner than the present increase. 1t
Is estimated that a home assessed for
$4,000 within the portion of the Wash
ington suburban sanitary district at
present served by the Sanitary Com
mission would pay $3.50 annual In
crease, whereas the increased front
foot benefit charge on a 50-foot lot
would be but $3.50 annually. only a
third of the burden that would be as
as proposed by the complainants. The
increase in the general tax rate pro-
posed by the compliments would per
init the vacant lot to escape prac
tically free"
The Maryland Public Service Com
mission, after hearing the case, re-
ferred the matter to the Maryland
attorney general. His decision in the
matter will be final. although the
Sanitary Commission does not concede
that 1t Is under the Jurisdiction of the
Public Service Commission, as claim
ed by the complainants.

Low Birthrate Menaces
 Natives Amer. Families

|, URBANA, H., Feb. 18.-The size l of the American family of native stock in one generation has decreased 38 1-2 per cent, according to E. E. Baber, professor of sociology at the
 University of Illinois, who added that today the native stock of family has less than three children, while it re- quires four, under the present nor tality and marriage rate, to replace the stock without increase.
 ''It is not necessarily a tragedy that
 much of our native stock is dying out
 and that our increase comes wholly from foreign stock, for foreign is cer-
 tainly not synonymous with inferior" :" said the professor. Yet few will ad- init the desirability of such rapid re- placement of our native stock, for it contains some of our most precious population clements When we see 13 per cent of our native families childless, and IS per cent more with only one child each, it seems to be sig nificant"
 l Turning to the educational side of
 the situation, Professor Baber declar-
 ed far too many of our educated peo- l pie either sidestep marriage or marry
 too late in life to have family From
 one half to three-fifths of our best
 educated women are having no share
 in producing the next generation, due
 either to non-marriage or childless
 marriage.

 But this,' he continued, ''is very old custom among these people, and she, being very old lady, it would have been useless to have tried to in. terfere with her belief and convic. tions. I want to say, however, that this custom is not extensively prac ticed except among the real old timers.

HEAVY LOSS IN
 EXPORT VALUES
 SHOWN FOR JAN.
STATEMENT BY CUSTOMS INDl- GATES S1,135,o1o LOSS OVER
 SAME MONTH LAST YEAR. FUR SHIPMENTS DECREASED.

JUNEAU: Alaskan exports to the from January, 1914 dropping from s2,41S,915 to S12S3,305, according to the monthly summary of commerce issued by M s. Whittier assistant collector of customs. Decreases in the value of fur shipments and copper eX- ported were responsible for the de- cline.
 The most significant figures contain ed in the monthly summary are those covering the shipments made by the Government of fur seal pelts from the Pribilof Islands. representing last years take. The catch totaled 1S,72O skins. These have a declared value of only S150,004 which is virtually S8 each. The valuation is placed on the furs by the Department of Commerce. Three or four years ago the average value given was S25 per skin, each year since smaller unit value has been declared. This years valuation is the lowest on record.
 Tn contrast to fur shipments as a whole. which lost in value, was the gain made by the fishing industry Normally January is small month for this business. In January, 1923. the aggregate declared value of all fisheries products was approximately S368,000. Although the halibut fleet was idle last month the fisheries jumped to first place in the export commodity list with total value of about $530,000, gain of S165, ,O0O.
 Fur shipments including seal skins. declined from S1,1S297O to S237,398, a loss of S955,572 Included in the re- port of January, 1924, however, were all the mail shipments made during the year previous, amounting to S1 : 116,932. These are not shown in the report for last month, indicating that the loss is apparent rather. than real since they will probably be received in time to go into the annual report

Kuskokwim Man Has
 Probably Drowned

That August Scharfe, better known as Mountain Climber" has met his death in the treacherous waters of the South Fork of the kuskokwim. seems to be borne out by reports which reached McGrath early this week from Frank Ciolis South Fork headquarters, according to Joe Oats who returned here this week from McGrath.
 These reports are to the effect that MT. Scharfe left his camp near Frank Cioli's place some days ago to go oyer his trap line, in covering which he was required to travel an oblong course, necessitating three crossings over the South Fork, the distance of which all told might be anywhere from 6 to so miles
