Birth Rate Decline Seen
 As British National Peril

MANCHESTER, Feb. 13.-Decline
 of the birth rate in England has be- come national peril in the opinion of Sir Robert Blair, former chief edu- cation officer of the London County Council, who, speaking at Manches- ter educational conference, estimated
 that within the next eight years there would be two million fewer workmen in the country.
 Within the last few years the birth rate has fallen off tremendously" he said, "and appears even yet to be gO- ing down. We are losing 100000 chil- dren a year from each age group, in the schools, and on this basis from calculations I have made, by 1882 there will be some two million less workers in England" Taking this year as an example, as- serted Sir Robert, the board of edu- cation is budgeting for a million less children than in its budget of 14 years |ago.
 Decrease of the birth rate during the years of the war in some measure accounts for the reduction in the num- Der of children who are now attaining school age, according to ministry of health officials.

Washington Woman Aids Soldiers and Sailors of
 U. 5. When in Trouble

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 13.- Men of Uncle Sam's fighting forces who get into scrapes in the national capital find staunch friend in Mrs. Andrew J. Campbell. For the las three years she has visited the police courts almost daily to assist soldiers and sailors on trial for minor offens- es. Her work has been condemned by army, navy and marine authorities and by police magistrates.
 Mrs. Campbell, who had a son and daughter in the service, helps service men in trouble by supplying small funds or by communicating with rela- tives. It is her proud boast that no man she has aided ever returned to court. She takes pride in another patriotic service, the placing of flow CTS on every new grave in the Arling- ton semetery.

Mctheroy Shuts Up Shops
 As Protest Against Taxes

RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 13.-As a protest against heavy increase in municipal taxes for 1925, the business concerns of Nictheroy, across the har- bor from Rio de Janeiro, shut their doors few days ago and refused to open them for three days. Everything closed down, including coffee and milk shops and vegetable and fruit stores and the taxicab drivers went on a strike
 Taxes on many industries and arti- cles have been increased from fifty to 300 per cent, and many new items are included, such as sewing machines and pianos in private homes. The mayor has defended his action in sign ing the increased tax bill according to local newspapers, by saying that the city was badly in need of a sewer system and better paving.
 At the end of the third day a dele gation from the commercial houses visited the president of the state, who promised to investigate the situation and then call session of the munici- pal council

Danish-American Trade Shows Return to Normal

COPENHAGEN, Feb. 13.-Writing in the Nationaltidende on trade be- tween Denmark and the United States during 1924 Dr. John Dynley Prince, the American minister to Denmark, says that although the figures for the trade between the two countries for
 1924 are not yet completed, it appears
 certain that the mutual trade has in-
 creased during the past year and is probably now at what might be call ed a new normal, following the hectic
 spurt in 1919 and 1920.
 "The Danish market is an attractive
 one for American products" Prince says, because of Denmark's increas
 ed industrial activities, the high standard of living within the coun- try, and the we'll maintained purchas- r ing power of it's people. These fac tors, together with the almost com plete elimina tion of competitive ele-
 ments, and also a growth of direct commercial intercourse between the 1.-two countries, have tended to increase the participation of the United States in the Danish import trade from ten per cent in 1913 to Is per cent in the
 year 1923. In fact, the United States
 now follows Germany and Great Brit
 ain in order Of imnortanca ac S1n
 plier of the Danish market.

GERMAN RAILROADS OUT FOR PROGRESS
 AND GOOD PROFITS

BERLIN, Feb. 13.-German rail- roads, now freed of government con- trol and politics, are considering innO- vations and Improvements. Under the general superintendency of Rudolf Oeser, formerly minister of transpor- Itation, careful study is being made of the needs and comforts of passengers, the increase of speed, the maintenance of safety, and a proper margin of pro- fit.
 When the tourist season opens next May, overseas passengers will be able to take through train from the docks at Bremerhaven and Cuxhaven for Berlin. Thus will pre-war service be resumed Wireless telephones have been installed on the trains between Berlin and Hamburg, Frankfurt and Munich.
 The average speed of German trains before the war was 41.5 miles an hour and Germany always has enjoyed the reputation of having fewer accidents than any other country in the world. In 1924 the speed average was 34.7 but Director Oeser is confident this will be increased in 1925. To this end there will be extensive improve ments to tracks. Engines and rolling stock already are satisfactory, the di- rector asserts.
 The German railroad system em- ploys about S0O,0OO men. There are 11,250 railroad stations, 33,O0O miles of track, 1O6 construction shops and 3,237 administration offices.
 One of the directors chief tasks is to make the lines profitable enough to take care of their share of the re- parations burden, and he is confident this can be done. He has free hand to run the system on strictly business principles. He has dismissed 100000 men whom he considered superfluous and who were holding their jobs for life. He is catering to the business of the countries surrounding Germany which needs the German lines for trans-shipment purposes

NOME AND DIPHTHERlA

Word from Nome indicates that the diphtheria situation there is not get ting any worse and with the arrival of the antitoxin it may reasonably be hoped that it will be but short time until all will be we'll again. The race to Nome made by the several drivers of dog teams, establishing a new re- cord, bespeaks the spirit and bravery of the North. It was a wonderful ac- complishment.
 Diphtheria does not often get out of bounds when proper precautions are taken, as has been pointed out by medical associations, physicians and even insurance companies.
 Recently the Metropolitan Life In- surance company issued pamphlet on the subject which is worthy of con- sideration. It reads:
 Diphtheria is an acute disease of the nose and throat and is very dan gerOus.
 It is caused by the diphtheria germ. These germs not only cause sore spot where they grow, but also make a poison which weakens the heart.
 Children and adults may get diph- theria from spoons and cups not ster- ilized in boiling water.
 If your child has sore throat, be sure to call in the doctor. Only doc tor can decide whether the case is one of diphtheria. Use antitoxin. Tn the days before we had antitoXin one out of every three died. Now, if anti toxin is used on the first or second day of the disease, 9S out of every 100 children recover.
 A child should not be permitted to get out of bed until the doctor says to. Diphtheria will affect the heart if one gets up too soon. Only after the doctor has said the nose and throat are free from germs should one min gle with others.
 Some people are able to resist the germs of diphtheria, others are not
 A simple method has been discov- cred to find this out. It is called the Shick test. If this shows that your child does not resist diphtheria germs it can be inoculated and protected.
 This method has been used for sev- eral years and so far no one who has been tested has contracted diphtheria. It causes no pain or inconvenience to even the youngest child.
 Diphtheria can be prevented and many lives saved. Place the patient in room alone. Take out all unnec. essary furniture. Have the room we'll ventilated and sunny. Do not allow any person taking care of the sick to leave the sickroom. All dishes used should be thoroughly boiled after use. Soak all clothing in tub containing one pound of carbolic acid in five gal Ions of water.
 And above all ask your doctor about the Shick test.
