CHICAGO ATTRACTS
 ALIENS AND NEGROES
Professor Horncll Hart Of Bryn Mawr College Gives Statistics
 on Population

Chicago, Jan. 2. - Who moved to Chicago between the years 1910 and 1920?
 For each two native whites who came to the metropolis, five negroes were added and 12 foreigners, ac- cording to Prof, Hornell Hart of Bryn Mawr college, speaking here today before the American Sratisti- cal association. "Tho restriction of immigration will cut into he addi- tions to city population" he said. Whether the foreign clements will be replaced by negroes remains to be seen"
 During the period under consider alton the city attracted 45,000 more young men and women between the ages of IS and 25 than left. On the other hand many more persons over 50 left than came in, with q result lng net gain of native whites of only 25,hg0. At the same time 60.- 4o0 negroes and 150,0Q0 foreign inn migrants were added. The popula- ton was also increased about 250,- 0Qo by excess of births over deaths.
 "The men who sought their for tunes in Chicago" the speaker said, averaged about 2S years while the women were only 2n. Negroes com ing into the city averaged decidad- ly older than the other groups, while native whites were the young- est
 Prof. Hart pointed out that the curtailing of foreign immigration would lessen the increase in city population as compared with coun- try, but believed the general move ment toward fhe cities had not yet reached its height.

 Artificial Increase Of Prices

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Jan. g. Although the federal government has discontinued it's efforts to lower the price of coffee by placing more Of the product on the market at Santors, and has transferred the operation of the valorization scheme to the state of Sac Paulo. there still remains evidence that the govern ment is not satisfied with the de- fense system.
 A recent issue of the Journal do Commercio, the official newspaper Of the administration, carried three column article crtcising the valori- Zation scheme and pointing out the effects on Brazilian industry and finance. The article was signed anonymously.
 It is pointed out that the fantastic sums which growers are receiving for their coffee have been multiplied enormously in milreis through infa tion According to the writer 110.- GOO contos were emitted at the time the plan first originated. This alarmed the country, and the system was abandoned. but the same thing Was done on a larger scale by re- discount, the emission being 100000 coutos. Public suffering aroused opinion, the rcdiscount department was discontinued. and the same idea again used on a much larger scale through the creation of a bank Of emission which has turned out 600,- 0Q0 contos,"
 The claim Is made that the cost of living for eight-tenths of the popula- ton in Brazil has risen out of all proportion to the advantages secured from receiving more milreis. This particularly applies to the middle class, the laborers and clsrks, whose wages do not respond quickly 10 such changes. Emphasis also Is placed upon the fact that valorization Is applied 10 only one Brazilian pro- duct coffee, which enables the cof- fee growers to receive more mtlreis for their crops and to offer and pay better wages. This attracts labor and Is therefore unfair competition with the growers of other Staple products
 The author, who signs himself Spectator" pleads that Brazil limit itself 10 the 'alorization of coffee by the system of equalized daily entries of the crop at the port of Santos, and not to artifcially double the price in the foreign market by hold ing back stocks, or to quadruple re- turns in milreis by the emissions of paper money. He claims that Brazil is headed towards over-producton and repetition of her experience in r1Ihher

 SECRET DOCUMENTS
Papers Found in France Are Do, cIared ForSerieS Of Officials

Paris, Jan. 9. - Supposedly a3- cret documents that fell into the hands of the French press and pro- voked insistent demands that the government take reprcssiVc meas ures against Bolsheyik agitators in France have been declared to be forgeries by the official Bolshevtk organ, Humanite, but such papers as the Temps and Liberte, which have published some of the docu- ments in detail, insist that they are genuine. They appear in many re- spects to accord perfectly with the recently increased activities of Bo- shevik organizations.
 The principal document which sets forth the general plan of pro paganda and proselyting, begins with census blank that all mem- bers of the party are called upon to fill out. sign and turn in to their respective groups; this slip gives the central organization means Of immediately reaching every mem ber of the party and of watching and controlling his acts.

They are intended 10 serve their fellow Workmcn to the Bolshevik cause, and 10 make IL possible to obtain immediate ac~ ton in every industry and trade or profession when inc word is given by the central organization.
 The duties Of the cells" are to report the movements of all Com munists; to obtain complete infor- mation as to the resources. habits, weaknesses, politics and religion of their employers; 10 locate all stocks of arms and ammunition and gen. orally to supply the central organ isation with such information as will give it every possible hold on the bourgeois class,
 There is provision for the reor- ganization of the party by Jan. |, 1925, and the establishment of new Communist groups in Paris as well as in the provinces.

Editorial Comment
"How TO Keep Young"
Detroit News)

That headline. with its countless variations, is
seen in newspapers and magazines often that the
wonder Is that it Is not standardized and kept in
type. The articles that follow it generally apply
to women only, which is weak surrender to con
ventionality, for much interested
in the subject. Henry Ford, for example,
his sixty second birthday. made it the subject of
his remarks. He quoted the Rev. B. u. Starbaugh.
formerly of Detroit. now of Adrian. saying that
the phrase: "The good die young means that the
good always young, matter how long they
live. The context shows that Mr. Ford meant those
who work interestedy and productivity are good
Well Mr.. Ford is right about that. The man o.
woman who keeps hands busy and mind active
and open to ideas is really young in that life
remains adventure to him full of the zest Of child
hoods explOrings along uncharted roads.
There is also the illusion Of youth. the Peter Pan
type of adult who refuses to accept the responsible
ties of maturity. He may be a drunkard, neg
lectu of his family. hobo.
But the type Of yOuthfulness in later life that the
Rev. Stambaugh and Mr. Ford exo is youthfulness
in ideals and willingness to sacrifice self and do

Hatred
milwaukee JournaD

The account of the duel to the death fought by
two in valley of California is amazing
human document, revealing it does how hatred
may take possession of man to the exclusion Of
all other things.
These two had differences six years ago. what
about is not revealed They separated and met
again. More bitter grew their quarrel until they
decided that the world couldn't hold them both.
They would shoot it out at twelve paces with the
provision that the survivor should then take his
own life A bit Of old Greek tragedy here. with
the decision that the settlement must be fnllity
itself with the death of both the principals.
The world is big. why could not each go his own
way? They could, but they didn't. Hatred too
intense for that 1t was a magnifcation of that
passion one sees when two decide that they
will not work in the same business or in the same
office. Every thought with them had become per
sOnal
The bigger man does not get that way. The
business Of life is far larger than any personal
feeling he may have toward another. He will work
with whom he dislikes personally, with
out thought Of making personal issue with the
object of his disdain. BY that decision he makes
life worth while and prevents the narrowing, burn
ing power of hatred from soaring his soul.

How shall that big foreign debt to the United

from American multimillionaires by selling them
titles.
American regard for titles of nobility is we'll

should these women have to go abroad and marry
impecunious noblemen to get their coveted titles?

ON HEALTH--
HOW TO REDUCE BY SWIMMING

To obtain the full value Of the
Australian crawl in swimming, which
is recommended for reducing, do as
follows:
Take two pair Of inflated water
wings. Placing one pair at the waist
line, lie down on them in the water,
at any depth from two feet up, de-
pending upon your ability as a
swimmer
Take the other pair of wings in
the hands, holding them by the mar
row part. and stretch the body to the
fullest extent from toes to hands.
In stretching the chin will be just
under the water, and the person will
be looking straight ahead. the legs
just below the water level, the hie
toes almost touching.
