100000 Less Children Lose
Parents Since 1900,
81 Scientists Told.

OU OUtt6U - COS
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-More than
100000 children in the United States
have been saved from orphanhood
by the increase in length of life
which has taken place among the
general population, since 1900, DR..
Alfred ]. Lotka of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company revealed
today.
DR.. Lctka's paper on Orphan
hood as Population Problem" was
read before the American Associa-
/ ton for Advancement Of Science.
Other papers ranged from SYM
postum on the centenary of the
glacial theory to effect of decreased
|. atmospheric pressure on insects.
n Today's sessions were attended
Tbv 5000 scientists representing a
J membership of 1900 in the affili-
ated organizations of the American
association. Before the sessions end
next Wednesday more than 1000
papers will have been read.
Lose Fathers Most Often
The eighty-fifth session of the as
ISOLATION will open formally tonight
with addresses by DR.. Henry Fair
field Osborne, president; Dean
George B. Pegram and Arthur j. w.
Hilly, representing Mayor James j.
Walker of New York.
Many more half orphans" have
st their fathers than have lost
heir mothers, DR.. Lotka'S survey
disclosed.
He declared that three-quarters
OF l per cent of all children born
lose their mothers at birth, while
4 one-half of 1 per cent lose their
Fathers before birth.
His conclusions were reached after
an analysis of statistics of repro
duction and mortality in the United
States. The analysis showed that
$4,000 children under II are en-
loying benefits of parental care of
which they would have been de-
prived under the old mortality rate.
DR.. Edward F. Adolph of the
HliverSity of Rochester sought in
address to determine the i'm
Nsbrtance of inheritance as a factor
in the regulation of the size of in
dividualS.
In an age when fashion dictates
that one should be so big, people,
would like to know what decides
just how big adult individuals are
to be-" DR.. Adolph said.
Effect of Air Pressure Studied

, dividuals usually come from bic
parents. ALI sizes, he said. REQUIRE
equal times for growth but only four
generations are needed for unusual
-TSized individuals to revert back to
average sizes although in excep-
tional instances variability is main

Frank E. Lutz of the American
Museum OF Natural History in New
York reported on his efforts to de-
termine effects of atmospheric pres
sure on human beings.
What would happen if we were
forced to make within d consecu-
tive hours "a round trips between
normal pressures and pressure
equivalent to that which is supposed
to exist II miles above sea level"
! he asked. "We couldn't, and so the
question is foolish, but frail fruit

BIBLE INFLUENCE
 SEEN IN CHINA
Has Affected NationalSm
 Movement

Shanghai, May 2s. R-Reading of the Bible by millions of Chinese is partially responsible for the na- tionalist revolution which has been sweeping south and central China Tor the past two years, say foreign missionary officials of several Bible societies.
 During 1927, in spite of the general chaos, more than 5,ooo,ooo of the books were sent to various parts of the country.
 The reading of the Bible by the Chinese may be charged with q share Of the responsibility for the breaking up of the old order in this country. the abandoning of old reverences. the stimulating of new ideas of independence and equality which are now the slogans and catchwords of political agitators.' states one Bible society which has been distributing the book in China for a quarter of a century. uC AAttiIoiib VI SoPiSo SA tii| | Gospels sent into the towns and villages of China year after year have sown new thoughts in the minds of the multitudes, and if they took root at all they were bound to result in the overturnins of much that prevailed in the old order of Chinese society. The thousands of Chinese who have since the dawning of the present century have read more or less Of the Bible and could not but be affected thereby"
 There are several societies dis tributing Bibles in China. among which are the American Bible society. the National Bible society and the British and Foreign Bible society. The Pocket Testament league, an international organiza. ton, has hoped to distribute mil. lion Testaments to the Chinese but has been hampered by dis turbances.
