CAIRO, Egypt. March 23-Former
Premier Zagloul Pasha was elected
president of the Chamber of Deputies
in the new Egyptian Parliament today,
receiving 123 votes out of 20S
Premier Kiwar Pasha read the
speech from the throne. outlining the
governments program. 1t was pune
tuated with applause and at the ter
mination there were cheers for the
King.
The speech reiterated the deep re-
gret felt by the Egyptian government
for the assassination of Sir Lee Stack
the sirdar, and it's best hope that his
slayers would soon receive their mer-
tied punishment. Egypt's relations
with Great Britain, which had been
affected by the incident, again were
becoming those of their habitual
friendship and good understanding, the
speech said.
Zagloul Pasha, the new president of
sirdar met his death and opposed the
present government in the recent par
liamentary elections.
Zagloul, in speech delivered short
ly after his election, declared that as
president of the chamber he did not
represent any particular party, but the
parties in general
1t is understood the government does
not regard Zaglours election as lack
of confidence in the ministry, taking
the view that personal rather political
considerations led to his selection.

OSLO, Norway, March 1.-THE
steadily decreasing birth rate in Nor

government authorities, who appealed
to the medical faculty of the Royal
University of Oslo for solution of
the problem. The physicians con-
suited declared that the decreasing
birth arte was due largely to delib-
crate birth control. -
Back of this was seen the feminist
movement, with it's attempts to estab-
lish for women social conditions equal
to those of men, the followers of
which declare their unwillingness to
raise more than two or three chill
dren. A clinic has been establish
ed in Oslo by leaders of the feminist
movement. Most of the clergy in the
country have taken a decided stand
against birth control.
The births rate in Norway, according
to figures just published. has declined
since 1900 from 80 per 1000 of popula-
tion to "a per 900, while in the city
of Oslo it has declined in the same
period from 40.44 per 1000 TO I'LL per
900. In the meantime the population
of the city has grown from $500 to
