Expert Outlines Problem oil
Caring for Enormous An.
nual Increase.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 18.-Dr Shroski
Nasu, outstanding japanese expert on
rural economies, is now in the United
States in connection with the Institute
Of Pacific Relations Conference, which
will be held in Kyoto, Japan in late
October.
Japan is increasing her population
about 100000 a year net" said the
youthful professor, discussing the food
and population in Japan.
The birth rate. or the natural in
crease, has been declining, that's true.
But health measures are expanding so
declining Hence the problem of popu-
lation still presses for solution.
Three ways have been suggested to
meet the problem. First, by immigra-
ton. This is not q solution. We have
never been able to export In any year
even our net increase in population.
Then the method Is far too expensive.
It is not practical.
THE second suggestion Is to have
the surplus Japanese population go into
Manchuria, that new tremendous en-
pire of the future. But do not think
this Is . solution. Why? Because the
Chinese are going in there now at the
rate OF 100000 a year, and. frankly.
their standard of living is so much
lower than that Of the japanese that
! do not believe we could compete with
them there.
The third suggestion is that Of q
more effective industrialization. You
see, we now have $4,000 factories, en-
ploying 1000, 900 working people, but
we lack the raw materials, like coal,
to- AfI IL 10 H.
we can develop this line by going into
those industries which require the very
minimum of the raw materials we lack
for instance.
But we are anxious to solve this
pressing problem peacefully, scientific
ally, without international friction, by q
frank discussion of the facts presented
to all the world"
DR.. Nasu will lead the discussion on
the subject Of population and food be-
fore the Kyoto conference, to which
China, New Zealand. Canada, Hawaii,
Great Britain and Australia will send
members.
1t should be most important meet

Maj. c. H. Douglas. British economist
and author of Credit Power and De-
mocracy" and other provocative books,
has stirred considerable economic dis
cussion in recent years with his ideas.
1t is Maj. Douglas contention that
the purchasing power Of the masses
should be so organized that production
would never suffer glut or overSup-
ply And in this way business panicS
and depressions would be merely
nightmare memories of the past.
Those who have studied the works
Of Maj. Douglas are often confused be-
cause they insist that he uses the same
economic term in different ways. Nor
man Angel makes this objection TO his
work.

CURB ISSUES SHOW

Utilities Subjected to Selling

BY HARRY Fl. BECKER,


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July l8.-Nervousness
over the brokers' loan figures due after
the close Influenced an irregular price
trend on the Curb Exchange today. A
number OF issues we're in supply and
dropped from their recent high levels
but nevertheless interest on the buying
side was still sufficiently broad to lift
many Specialties to new highs. Deal
ingS kept up to recent proportions.
There was a noticeable falling of in
the demand for utility stocks which
have given the list remarkable stability
for so long. Although no great weak
ness developed. majority of the recent
leaders displayed heavineSs, among
them United Gas Improvement. North
eastern Power Connecticut Electric and
some of the high-priced holding COM
pany issues.
Early Losses.
Electric Shareholding preferred came
down several points further, while Elec-
trio Investors, after recovering an early
loss, again weakened. The reaction
also affected Allied Power &c Light in
the face of the report for the fiscal
year ended June 80 showing earnings
equal TO more than five times the an
nual dividend requirements on the pre-
fsrred stock and an exceptionally strong
asset position. Securities owned had a
market value at the close of the period
of s84,031 ,054. equal to the total capital
and surplus on that date.
The best tone in the electric light
and power section was displayed by
American Light e. Traction, which re-
covered portion of its late decline. and
by Commonwealth Edison. The latter
before midday was up l6 points from
the previous closing price
Among the features in the industrial
and miscellaneous section was Grigsby-
Grunow 1t advanced 10 points or so
before encountering profit taking and
was favorably influenced by an oficlal
statement that the company's plants are
operating at capacity. New tops were
established by Stone & Webster, Guard
ian Fire Insurance, Third National In
vestment, Aluminium Limited and Gen
eral Realty and Utilities
Oils were under pressure, with
Vacuum and Humble in greatest supply.
Cities Service made another new top,
however, influenced by the excellent
earnings statement for the past IL
months.
Enormous activity was again wit
messed in Standard Brands without
affecting the price to any marked ex-
tent. Increased interest in the stock
was based on reports that new COM
panies will soon be admitted into the
consolidation and that application to list
the stock on the big board will be filed
shortly.
Aviation stocks firmed up slightly but
did not attract much of following and
the motors were neglected.

Many Cities Adopting e.

Cities, towns and villages in all Sec

The survey shows the extent to
which the municipal coming idea has
spread in recent years. In 1916 such
regulations were in force in only eight
cities. The number increased slowly
up to 1920. after which the progress
was rapid. SICK
During 1928, 81 municipalities
passed zoning ordinances, while 101
either adopted more comprehensive
zoning laws or amended existing reg
ulations to make them more effective.
An analysis of the 81 new coming ordi-
nances which were passed shows that
"A of them were comprehensive-that
is, the use, height and area Of build

"Talkies" of Weddings
Might Have Drawbacks

We are extremely dubious about
this plan. proposed by an Omaha
judge, to make talkies of weddings,
so that in event of subsequent do
nestle trouble they can be run off
before the unhappy couple and thus
avert a separation.
That might work If all parties to
weddings were ladies. They, so far
as one can judge, get real thrill out
of their weddings; indeed, for many
of them their wedding day seems to
be the big day of their lives.
But did any man ever get thrill
out of his wedding? He did not It
was the day, to begin with. when he
was a complete sap; when he looked
like sap, felt like sap and was
treated like a sap. For once in his
life he played miserable second fid-
die to magnificent creature called
the Bride; it was for her that the
music was composed, that the pres
ents were sent, that the ring was pro-
vided. Nobody ever heard of we'd
ding march dedicated to the BRIDE
groom.
1t was the day again, which was
fixed in his mind in connection with
appalling expenditures that swept out
all his savings since his graduation
from college. Furniture for the apart
ment, flowers. presents, railroad tick
cts for two, gray pants, cutaway coat
all these things blended into hor-
rible nightmare with a dollar sign
in front of it. and focused on that
one terrible day.
Thus the proposed talkies might
have an effect exactly opposite from
what is intended. A talkie Of the
night they became engaged might help.

Color in Small Garden

Everything is seen closely in the
small garden. A single plant or flower
becomes the subject of attention
rather than the mass of the border.
More care must be taken to remove
minor imperfections, but there is less
for which to care. Color schemes may
more easily be handled and close at
tention to color will be well repaid
here.
