The Population Of the World
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE

statement that the world is being populated too fast
has been often made since the days OF Nautilus, who
thought he proved that while population was going
forward at ratio the food supply advancing
only by arhmecal ratio In this It would not be long
before there would be people to feed than TO feed
them
And now comes DR. Victor B. Levine Of Creighton Uni
yersty, Omaha, addressing the Nebraska Academy Of
Sciences at Bethany says that within three generations
there will be population Of billion, OF two billion
more than the earth support
The trouble with this scientific crepe hanger IS that he
does not realize the immense of food planet
Professor Smith, of Columbia, in his Worlds Food Re
sources audes the supply Of food that is still
tapped the sea- and also the fact that the successful
cultivation Of bananas has but barely been begun and that
the banana contains most Of the substances necessary for
human nourishment
The peanut also an ideal food containing carbohydrates
proten and fats in abundant supply and the area possible
for peanut cultivation has hardly yet been invaded.
There millions Of of land in the civilized world
yet uncultvated Land enough the United States could be
made arabic BY the completion Of the Boulder DAM pro-
iect in the West feed the population OF the country
Besides this there many food ingredients Ia common
air and which only await the devices Of science for
their release.
Altogether it is not between population and susie
nance but between science and food supply.
AS mankind progresses, learns more and more how TO
find sustenance in the elements about it.

Cancellation of Operators
Permits by Director Eldridge

Traffic Director Erdge begun the drastic power
given traffic law passed by Congress to suspend
or cancel the permits of automobile operators.
The first victim arrested few days ago for
driving while intoxicated and whose record shows twenty
rests for traffic violations in five or six years.
Until the new law passed. it possible to cancel
Che operator license Of this type until he had been
actually convicted Of oenses warrantng such cancellation
That furnished plenty loopholes for dangerous drivers
hold on to their permits When arrested for driving while
drunk they would insist upon jury trials and through various
processes and delays frequently escaped conviction Many
dangerous drivers thus retained their permits under the old
law and continued to menace human life and traffic
Under the law, Mr. Edridge need only be fully
WINGED that driver should not have permit and he can
through great power conferred upon him by Congress-
suspend permit for days preliminary cancellation
at the end of time if the victim does appeal
Commissioners and convince those officials that he has been
done injustice
The new law is retroactive the extent that driver
may punished for past offens although these ofensas may
be considered in connection with violations since the law be-
effective It is understood to be the purpose Of Mr.
Edridge withhold permits to be issued drivers
from those with unenviable police records
The power conferred Mr. Edridge should materially aid
In Kidding Washington Of many undesirable drivers dangerous

estimated that there 5000 auto drivers in the District

Of that right.
The that the Director is withholding permits cancel

warning to certain classes Of drivers that they are finally

and to comply with traffic laws and the rules Of fairness and
thoughtfulness that should prevail among all autoists

Of Cortez in Mexico and Of Pizar-

by the strange and imposing forti-

the Middle West by mysterious
predecessors Of those red men who
were actually IN possession when
the white cQnQuerors and settlers
came. Finally read about the re-

together, consider DR.. Hrdlicka's
opinion that theSwhole can be ac-
counted for by the dribbling over

thousands Of years, of wandering
Asiatics. who finally developed on

groups dribbled across the ice

thousands Of years. This would
account for the differentiation Of
American Indians in the two

absolutely essential for her to do
this. but it Is a courtesy that shc
usually shows to the sisters Of the
groom.
2. The bride or her family usu-
ally provides the flowers for the
attendants of the bride, since they
are usually planned as harmonious
accessories of the costumes Of The
attendants, but sometimes the
groom asks for the privilege OF
sending the flowers to the attend
ants Of his bride. However, he
does not give presents to the
bridal attendants-the bride does
that. He gives presents to his
attendants. the best man and the
ushers.
8, The brides family should ask
the groom for his list Of relations
and friends to whom he wishes TO
send invitations and announce
ments. These are sent by the
brides family. Since the invita-
4 tions are sent out in the name OF
the brides, parents, it is reason
able that this should be so.

pitabIe of you, and / am sure that

NEGOTIATIONS
OF "A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland.

II Owe may be a game in which
IL you play against each other:
but marriage is partnership
in which you work WITH and
FOR each other.
The trouble Is that nobody
wants to work at marriage any
more. The day after the honey
moon each wants to run out and
play his or her own little game.
Nobody wants to "give in" any
more; that's why so many mar.
riages give out SO soon!
BE yourself" Express your
selfP' Preserve your person
alityi" These are the slogans of
the age. But you can't "be YOUR
self" and be somebody's wife"
or somebody's husband" at the
same time.
Preserving your personality is
one thing-and embalming your
prejudices is another. Most men
hang on to their personal opin-
ions and their seIf-indulgent little
habits, after marriage, like a bull
dog to an old shoe. And most
women cling to their pet whims
and completes like a cat to a
bone.
II you want to live your own
Afe'" why don't you live it alone?
why drag in an innocent by
stander, and try to roll him out
flat and trim him down to fit
your own life design?
Most people spend half their
courtshtp telling each other how
perfectly wonderful they are
and the other half thinking how
they are going to remodel each
other after the wedding.
But, marriage should be reci.
procity-not a reformatory: and
husbands and wives should be
boosters-not censors.
Marriage Is either an altar,
where a woman sacrifices her
vanity, her independence and
most OF her comfort, and a man
lays down his freedom, his self
ishness and most of his ego-or
else it deteriorates into a prize
ring in which the bigger bully

If you can't give in or give up;

If you've GOT to be yourself,

dices, or your "self.expression,"
