Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, November 23.-Po-
tato production in Maryland this year
was 30 per cent more than in 1925 and
per cent larger than average, ac-
cording to John S. Dennee, Federal
agricultural statistician for Maryland.
The potato crop is estimated at
4,1760O0 bushels, and averaged 81
bushels per acre. against 73 bushels
last year. Nearly 1000 carloads Of
early potatoes were shipped out of
lower Eastern Shore counties, against
1,463 in 1925 season.
Yields of sweet potatoes are report
ed as heavy in the lower Eastern
Shore counties. Production may go
40 per cent over 1925 crop, and as
much as so per cent over the average
production Of 1921-1925. A crop of
100000 bushels is estimated, against
an average production Of 1902 900.
Storage houses are reported full to
capacity, and the low prices offered
are discouraging to the farmers.

No Quarter For the Drunken Driver
(MinneapOlis Tribune)

These who felt that proposals to increase the
severity of penalties for driving motor cars when
drunk were ill-advsed would do we'll to study the
details of the tragedy on Nicollet avenue.
A car with a husband, wife and child in it was

with wings Of lightning could more be evaded
than shell from a gun. The first car hurled
into an iron lamp post and two Minneapolis lives
were blotted out.
The occupants Of the deah-car. if this SECOND ca:
may BE- so described, showed according to the eye
Witness no special interest in the event. An effort
was made to resume the interrupted ride, but this
quickly ceased to be attractive with the result that

1t is noble chronicle

Tense against The machine he drives is like the
crazed cannon which Victor Hugo once depicted. It
is as swift the cyclone and as terrible. 1t is
simply insane fury taking form and substance

eternity as a bowling alley ball scatters pins into
the pit.

Numerical Sex Balance
New York Times)

Something Of social and moral revolution has
been forecast for western Europe the result Of
the numerical disproporton between the sexes, Gre
ated or accentuated by the world war casualties In
Great Britain, shortly before the war, the female
population LOG per cent of the male population.
In 1921 the ratio had risen to ITO per cent. Every
one English woman in ten "superfucus''
woman. In Germany before the war, the female
population lO3 per cent of the male population.
In 1919 the ratio was 10 per cent. In absolute
numbers. the female majority in Germany had risen
from $4,000 to 2,s40OOO, and in Great Britain from
100000 to more than 100000. These would be
the women for whom the chances Of marriage were
nOn-exstent and who accordingly would proceed to
readjust their lives to economics and new
ethics.
Such prophecies have failed to take into account
the mysterious operations of nature" which has
way of restoring the disturbed sex balance after
every great war involving decrease in the male
population. Only the other day a British scientist
alluded to this well-established phenomenon in popu-
laton growth and Austria reports that the proc
ess has been well under way. Of those under the age
OF 20. the men outnumber the women by 1000 There
is reason for believing that the same process has
operated elsewhere. The next detailed census in
Great Britain and Germany will show. 1t will BE-
noticed that mature" in peace does not insist an
absolute parity Of the sexes. For the world as a
whole it was estimated before the war that 50.3 per
cent OF the population male and 49.7 per cent
female In Europe the ratio was reversed. There
the proportions were 494 per cent male and so. 6
per cent female This would indicate that before
the war there were 100000 more women than men
in Europe. The United States has been a recog-
nized exception to the Occidental rule because Of
immigration. which has been male in heavy ma.
jorlty. In 1910 the male population was LOG per
cent Of the female population. In 1920 it was lO4
per cent.
Why mature" should operate In favor of the male
in Asia and in favor CT the female in the countries
q the west may be explained in part. though only
IN part. 1t is really not NATURE" but man. The
sex proportions at birth may be very nearly the
same in east and west. But wherever the man.
child u preferred as worker, as in China, or as
the continuation Of the family memory and rite, rs
N India, It Is more than likely that the man-child
receives the greater care. The disparity between
the sexes would be accounted for by the greater
number Of males who survive. In Europe no such
determinations operate on an extensive scale and
the chances Of survival for children Of both sexes
are probably the same. Yet II may b that nature
has her own way Of taking cosnxanee q such arti-
cial things q the factory System and broader eco
nomic opportunities for women IN N Industrial.

Deferred Payments

There is diversity of opinion concerning the
present extra ordinary extension of credit, espe-
cially in retail selling Many of the authorities
claim that the benefits real and the prosperity
indicated substantial. Equally as many authorities
brand the benefits as only apparent and the pros
perity false and without real foundation. Experts
differing thus widely. the casual observer be
pardonsd for being in a state of uncertainty.
This much. however, is obvious. The instalment
buyer, while he may enjoy the merchandise while he
is paying for it. pays for the privilege, nasmuch
h pays higher price than he would for cash, thus
transferring more money from the pockets Of the
consumer n sppckets Of the producer As in
stallment bd1eAbe8ee usually of very limited means
and uncertain income and the producers are of suf
ficient means tc have surplus to invest. the in
stalment plan is a process by which the rich get
richer and the poor get poorer
The result under this system would be to broaden
the gap between capital and labor, which is highly
undesirable and to place labor where its belongings
are subject to complete loss at the first slump in
employment. which would be disastrous.
YET on the other hand, installment buying, by it's
direct obligation upon the purchaser, dverts to the
ACTUAL purchase of definite merchandise, money
that would otherwise be expended for luxuries and
