NEW SPECIES By Garrett P. serviss

. years before the World War It
was stated that our population
had increased 20 per cent AMI
our food production only about
per cent. The outlook was so
alarming that the study OF plant
crops from the stand elint eff
genetics. or heredity, was Wig
orously undertaken. and plant
breeding became a science.
Three principa. causes were
found for the lack of crop pro.
duction. These were, first, lack
Of adaptation Of crops to en-.
vironnent; second, destruction by
drought: third. destruction by dis
ease. A worldwide examination
of the environment necessary for
a maximum yield Of varioAs
kinds of crops resulted in such
an adjustment of crops to coYdi.
tons that total food production
was enormously increased
Similar experimental methods
are now solving the second diff.
ficulty through the development
OF drought-resisting races. And
this, In turn. serves to increase
to q very great extent the area
OF land capable Of producing
crops.
Disease Loss
The third source of loss, that
from disease, is being success
fully attacked by the same meth.
cd, viz, that of seeking and de-
veloping races that possess a
power of resistance to disease.
"As a result" says DR.. Coulter,
food production is now bsgin.
ming to oYertake population, and
we may thank the study of evo.
luton for the result"
It will be seen that the source
OF all these developments Is the
property Of variation inherent in
organic life forms, together with
the power Of adaptation to chang.
ing conditions. Such things are
facts, but the problem of ex.
PLANTATION is exceedingly complex,
FAR more so than Darwin i'm.
agined. although the evidence
for evolution as a fact has great
ly increased since his time. The
older reasoners on this subject,
being relatively short Of facts,
undertook to proceed by the way
OF inference alone, and they ex.
tended. this back to the origin Of
the plant and animal kingdoms,
involving the origin of man. Butt
says Doctor Coulter, "in these
days there Is no such attempt, for
experimental demonstration OF the
evolution OF the whole series of
organic forms cultimating in man
is clearly impossible"
This does not mean to say that
evolution does not apply to the
whole course Of life development
on the earth, but only that we do
not know just what causes and
processes brought about, in the
remote past, the changes which
we are sure occurred. The mod
ern biologist pursues the expert
mental method, and his results
are demonstrations.

RED DEBT PARLEY
OPENS IN FRANCE
Way Sought to Satisfy Claims
of Russian Bondh0Iders

PARIS, February 25.-Negotiations
between Soviet Russia and France
with regard to commercial relations,

were opened today in the foreign
offices under the chairmansh of
Premier BRAND, NJ. Rakovsky the
Soviet Ambassador, represented his

NJ. de Monzie. French minister
OF public works, in a speech
emphasized that the French govern
ment will not abandon it's defense of
the rights of the holders of Russia
bonds and was ready to discuss the
methods for liquidating the debts con
tracted in France under the Czarist
regime.
France, he said, wished TO have
falth IN prompt development OF
private Franco Russian exchanges
operating under statute which would
reassure private initiative and main
tain credit.
Replying, NJ. Rakovsky said the diff
ferences between the French and
Russian laws and institutions were
not such as to render solutions impos-
sible. He also desired to find a salts
factory solution for the Russian bond
holders. He gathered that the French
nation, like the Russian, was imbued
with desire to realize an interna
tional order preventing the return of
war, and that France adhered TO the
principle of non-interyention.
The accord which the negotiators
aimed to achieve. he concluded, would
serve the general peace by facilitating
the conclusion of other accords, be.
cause the negotiations were not
aimed against any one.
During the negotiations it is ex-
pected the Russians will ask French
credits to aid in their Industrial resto-
ration, in exchange for which thev
will consider what can be done regard

Traffic Director Eldridge is con-
sldering compilation of list of pres
ent holders of automobile permits
who will be ineligible when the law
requiring renewal of permits becomes
effective.
The Traffic Bureau head has out
lined group of offenses committed
either in Washington or in other
jurisdictions which will render a per-
NIT subject to revocation. He draws
a clear line of demarcation between
bootlegging as infringement of the
prohibition laws and bootlegging as
menace to traffic. and insisted that
While he has no intention of regulat
ing the morals of the automobile
drivers of the city, he considers boot
leggers potential or actual violators
of the traffic laws. A provision In the
Blanton traffic bill calls for revocation
OF permit on moral grounds.
Mr.. Eldridge has drawn up a group
of eight offenses or intirmities for
which renewal or issue of a permit
may be denied in his discretion. He
made it plain that if he decided to
withhold issuance of permits in GER
tam police cases now before the
courts, the permits may be revoked
Immediately
Those liable to revocation of per-
mits include the following:
Persons convicted of manslaughter
in which an automobile figured as the
cause of death and in which a speed
ing charge was collateral with the
manslaughter charge.
