FRANCE FROWNS
UPON AMERICAN
LIQUOR TREATY

Paris. Feb. 5.-(By A. P.)-Ratif1-
cation OF the liquor treaty between
the United States and France is likely
to be held up for some time in the
chamber by Deputy Valude, chairman
OF the merchant marine committee,
who was designated to report the bill
out.
ION examination OF the text Of the
convention" said NJ. Valude today, 'it
is easily seen that the whole ques-
ton OF international maritime rights
is under review
NJ. Valude in his report said:
THE United States seems to wish
completely to change the laws of ter
ritorial waters. They demand a veri-
table right Of visit aboard all ships
destined to their ports. and that is a
grave infringement on existing prin-
ciples.'
Challenging the fact that the United
States has signed similar conventions
with other powers. NJ. Valude asked:
"Shall France once again be the
guardian of principles? France, a
great producing nation Of wines and
spirits. cannot. without serious expec-
tations. touch upon such a treaty.
France, moreover, cannot admit of any
kind Of general SUSPICION of contra
band concerning ships flying her
flag"
NJ. Valude daily is in consultation
with committee colleagues who are
urging serious consideration" of the
treaty and insisting that the commit
tee cannot approve of it without "se-
rious discussion"
jects usually follows the committee
recommendation, it is foreseen in
chamber of deputies circles that if
the committee makes an unfavorable
report on the treaty the chance that
France Will ratify the maritime con-
traband convention is likely to be a
slim one.

GIRLS CLOTHES BUDGET IS
ANNOUNCED BY UNIVERSITY
Average Cost Computed by Students
At Cornell Was $500.

The average cost of clothing for a
year among a class of twenty-one girls
at Cornell college was 5000 and the
highest amount spent was S42O, the
spender being a freshman. The two
lowest amounts, both reported by
seniors, were $50 and $94. The TWEEN
ty-one girls were about evenly dis
tributed among the four college class
es.
A strict account of the expenditure
for clothes was kept as a part OF the
course, according to Miss Gertrude
Dodd instructor, who said that the
two girls who spent the least were
leaders in many activities.
Discrimination in buying and ablll-
ty to manage their clothes made it
possible for these girls to keep their
expenditures low" said the instructor,
who considered $50 the least on which
most girls can get along.
1T is not right for any girl, even
though she has the money, to spend
as much as $3.50 on clothing" Miss
Dodd said, for it sets an unwise
standard"

THE POPULATION OF
THE UNITED STATES
LAST YEAR IS LESS
THAN, THE AVERAGE FOR
THE LAST FIVE.

Although the population of the Unit
ed States is now at the high water
mark OF 114,311, 900 people the adj
vance over last year was less than the
average for the last five years, accord
ing to the estimates of the National
Bureau of Economic Research, and
the opinion is that the once rapid adj
vance has now definitely slowed up.
That the regular increase in the pop
ulation has not been due to immigra-
ton, but to the excess Of births over
deaths, is shown by figures covering
the last sixteen years. In that period
there were over 100000 births and
about 22,000,000 deaths, or an excess
OF 100000 births. About 5,50O,0OO
were added by immigration.
Both the birth and the death rates
in the United States are falling, but
the death rate is falling faster. Ten
years ago the birth rate was 26.2 for
each thousand persons, while today it
is 23.3, decrease of II per cent. At
the same time the death rate has de-
creased from 1874 per thousand to III,
a decrease of about Is per cent.
In 1924 2,645,000 babies were born
and $4,000 persons died. or one
death was compensated by two births.
If the number of births and deaths re-
mains stationary in 1925, as is very
likely, ten babies will be born every
two minutes and five persons will die
in the same time
Further studies by the bureau show
ed that employment has again shrunk
to the pre-war level and that there
are now thirty-eight persons out OF
every 100 who earn salary or wages.
But children, women and others not
working for money are almost as nu-
merous as this class. Employers and
men and women in business for them
selves make up only so per cent of
the population, and the actual number
is now less than it was in 1915. 1t is
held that the growth OF large corpora
tons has kept down the number OF
independent business men.

PLANTS PERFORM OWN
SURGICAL OPERATIONS
Amputate Portions of Their Bodies
Which Become Injured

Perhaps the most impressive evil
dence of something closely akin to in
teligent behavior in plants is offered
by a study OF injuries inflicted upon
sect enemies
If leaf or stem is injured wound
is formed which at once opens up a
path by which bacteria and other dis
case producing organisms may gain
entrance to the tissues, A leaf which
has suffered will show strip of hard,
brown tissue developed round the al
fected area, completely cutting it off
IRON the healthy portion.
According to The New Book OF
Gardening this isolating layer is
formed by the cells in the neighbor-
hood OF the wound. and, since it is i'm
permeable to water and sap, the parts
lying outside it die
Thus the plant may be said to am
putate portions of its body which be-
come injured, to prevent the infection
spreading to other parts, the useless
member being sacrificed for the ulti-
mate good of the whole
