NEGROES MISSING
 IN PIER COLLAPSE
PennsgroYe Police Drag River
 Three Persons Injured

Pennsgrove, N. J.. July g. P1Al- though no lives are known to have been lost in the collapse of the Will son line pier last night, Pennsgrove police continued today to drag the river with graphing irons for pos sible victims.
 Two unidentified Negroes seen on the pier moment before it went down could not be located later. Police expressed the belief that they had scrambled for safety, but stated that they would continue the search until they were found.
 Three persons, woman and two men. were injured in the accident which, had it occurred a few minutes earlier, might have result ed far more seriously. Five minutes before, a Wilson line boat, which plies between Philadelphia and Will mington, Del, had discharged a number of passengers and picked up others.
 Most of the passengers were safe- ly on shore when 300 feet of the concrete and frame structure gave way. Only seven persons, Naylor Holmes, d watchman, his wife. Mary; George Manus, operator of & refreshment stand on the pier; Zeke Scoo, William Pratt, and two unidentified Negroes. were on the pier at the time. All are residents of Pennsgrove or vicinity.

AN URGE FOR LESS PAYMENT

Dr. Dumont, our versatile health officer, uttered wise and kindly words on what men might wear in the good old summer time so as not to suffer from the neat Naturally. his advice is 10 wear fewer clothes. That is one of the most simple anti dotes for heat ever devised; the only trouble is, men seem to realize they have paid good money for D complete summer raiment and in order to get their moneys worth they must appear in public with all they bought.
 One often hears it discussed that q New Englander could not live in the South throughout the summer time. Which IS all bosh. 4 New Englander, though he may be accus- toned to cool and bracing breezes. can live in the hot sections as readi- - ly as native If and when he dresses like a native.
 It is all matter of clothes We feel hot on a hot day-at least nine times out of ten-largely because We are attired for cool weather rather than warm. Any of US can live in the tropics if while doing so we dress accordingly-which, by the way, is to wear next to nothing.
 The Garden of Eden, by the way. was at or near the tropics and very not. This impression IS secured from the pictures or Adam and Eve. who seemed 10 have needed little raj nent and were happy until they fell from grace,

RUBBER STREETS, ETC.

The rubber industry, confronted with the possibilities of a vast pro- duction and a low price in the world market, apparently is looking far- ward to the day when rubber will be extensively utilized in paving streets or for use on sidewalks.
 This. we imagine. will not be good news for the cement industry, which has just been additionally protect ed' with an increase in the tariff, to be sure no cement from foreign parts gets into the country, and to be sure that the price for native cement can be kept upon level satisfactory to the manufacturers thereof.
 We look forward to the day when rubber can be used for street paw ing" or the manufacture of side walks, If the cost is to be less than for cement we are doubly in favor of it, except that in such a case we would naturally sympathize with the cement dealers and the concrete makers.
 All the rubber we use, however, comes from foreign parts. Rubber is an item that simply does not grow at all in the United States. Cement on the other hand, is made in this. our country. Are we going to allow rubber to compete with cement without making a fight for the great cement industry?
 It seems to US that If there is go- ing to be danger of rubber being utilized as substitute for cement the cement industry will demand that a stiff tariff be placed upon rubber, to remove the threat of a foreign industry competing with a bona fide American industry; in which case everybody driving a car would pay tribute to the cement in dustry.
 A Republican Congress, 1t may be safe to wager, would see no reason at all to prevent foreign rubber in- terests from competing against the native cement and concrete industry.

 Whatever we do about our vaca- tions, we can be thankful for the folders gratuitously thrown into our laps A careful perusal of several Of these gaudy effusions has convinced us that there is much about the geography of the country found nowhere else except within the pages Of these sources of education for va cation tourists.

THE SEASON FOR TRAVEL

Once again it is possible 10 obtain a liberal education in American geography by the simple process of absorbing enough information from q sufficient quantity of vacation folders" issued by our enterprising transportation companies.
 Most of these are handsomely it. lustrated," containing pictures of his- toric and scenic shrines, and possess ing adequate descriptions. Many of the places held up to the gaping public as worthy Of visitation are rarely mentioned in more formal geographical treatises. A trauspor- tation company, seeking something to describe along its lines so as to induce travel. overlooks nothing,
 Best of all, these pretty folders can be had free of all charge All that is necessary is to ask for them. They are issued in large editions, cost much money but the com panies are firmly convinced that the greater the circulation the greater the pos sibility of interesting the travel minded to think of the line when buying a ticket during the vacation spasm.
 All of which seems to indicate that the tourist industry is being de- veloped in this country on bigger and better basis. Foreigners used to say that Americans are peculiar peo- pie; that they learn all about their country during their school days yet few of them ever saw much of it. Naturally, in the sweet land Of liber- ty it's size and manifold attractions prevented all but few from pene- trating it's great recesses.
 But conditions are changing. Ob- viously, the automobile has contri- buted to the change. Many a worthy American who used to travel no further afield than the nearest large city now takes trips" such as they are, quite regularly; and after a taste of week ending over neighbor- ly territory he cultivates a taste to go further at least once year.
 The transportation companies meaning the railroads and the boat lines-must compete with the new fangled automobiles; and if beauti- fully printed folders are any criterion they are putting forth an intensive effort to convince almost anyone that they are not taking it for granted that everyone who travels will do so on tires.
 Realizing that most of their cus- toners will be car owners, some Of them boldly suggest that one way to have a real" vacation is to forget about the car for a change and WOO comfort away from the wheel. The

THE NATIVE WHITE STOCK

It is somewhat generally supposed that the old native white stock" in the nation is slowly decreasing in . numbers, while the stocks represent ed by newer races is increasing con- siderabIy faster, But carefully ascer- tained facts do not bear out this supposition.
 Extensive studies made indicate that the "old native white stock" Of the United States is not dying out. except in a few cities; that it is in- creasing slowly in few rural sec tions, especially in the far North east and the extreme West; that it is holding it's own with the newer immigrant stock in most of the area between the Alleghanies and the Pacific Coast; and that it is increas- ing more rapidly in the South.
 It Is shown without a doubt that
 
 of environment than of racial stock.
 Taking the nation as a whole. however, the recently issued re- ports by the Census Bureau indicate that both the birth rate and the death rate are steadily falling, and all racial stocks contribute to this significant change,
 Vital statistics are sufficiently thorough in the United States to make accurate conclusions. For in- stance, in 1929 these statistics cov- cred e4 per cent of the country, ex- cluding only the states of Texas, South Dakota, Utah, New Mexico and Nevada. In the area exclusive ot these states the number of births

year were 2,142,124; but in

last year were 2,142124; but in 1928 the total was 7S,000 more, amounting to a decrease of 1-2 per cent during the year. However. since the population is estimated to have increased over one per cent during the year. the actual decrease in the birth rate was around 5 per cent.
 The number of deaths in this ter ritory for the two years was almost exactly the same. so that, consider ing the increase in population, the actual death rate was a decrease in 1929 over 1928.
 In the large cities the figures are clear-cut and definite. In 65 Of the largest cities in the first 25 weeks of 1880 the death rate was almost per cent lower than during the same period in 1929. This decrease in the death rate has come about large ly through better protection of in- fant and child health and is a. glow ing tribute to the efforts made to educate the pupolation upon infant care, work done by the boards of health and the government bureaus and the medical fraternity general ly
 The latest detailed government statistics so back to 1927. Tn that year the birth rate for white was 19,4 per cent and for colored 26.2 per cent. But in six of eight South ern states the white birth rate was higher than that Of the Negro.
 What causes the death rate to tall is easily understood, being due entirely 10 increased scientific knowledge, more widespread under standing Of the rules of health. and most important, TO the reduction in infant mortality. We have fewer births in this modern age, but when our children are born they have a much better chance to stay alive.
 The reasons for the decrease in the birth rate. however, are not so easily understood. It is becoming evident to close observers that the nation is reaching a point where the population will show a much smaller increase during each de- cade.
 A falling off in the marriage rate is one substantial reason, which can be laid to the higher standard of living that induces hesitancy about marrying until there is certainty Of beginning married life on the same standard that was maintained under the parental roof. Other reasons are economic. including the tend ency of women to be supporting and thus not ready for marriage un- til they meet the right man; cer- tainly, they show a less inclination to marry for economical reasons.
 There is no marked difference between any Of the many races which go to make up the United States. The first generation Of every immigrant race is one of fairly large families; but the second generation is one Of smaller families. and the third is no different than the gener- ations whose forbears have been here a long time.

SELLING WIND TO SUCKERS

Not for long time has there been a more astonishing gold brick case unearthed than the one involving the Cotter Butte Mines, Inc, with which Magistrate Ewald, under indictment in New York, was associated This obviously is re- lying upon the accuracy of the private files of the company" pro- cured by Federal Attorney Futile from Magistrate Ewald's home and from other places.
 The federal prosecutor declares the entire enterprise has the ear marks of a pure swindle and that of the s2,500,0o0 in shares of the mine. valued in the agreement be- tween the alleged conspirators at 25 cents each. none of the money was destined to be utilized in the development CT a mythical hole in the ground" somewhere out west
 There are thousands of people who are confronted with similar op- portunities for investment during their lifetimes. Always there is the promise of big profits, glowing de- scription of property owned, how it is being worked, and the certainty of early riches for everybody buying the stock. Just to illustrate how rosy the reports sent to "stockhold- CTS" can be it is something in the nature of liberal education in economies to read the following;
 Am sure you will be pleased to know that Cotter Butte Mines, Inc. stock you now own and the stock you have an option on until June 3. 1929. have increased greatly in value, due to a very important strike of commercial gold, copper and silver ore in what is known as Vein No. 5.
 Tt was encountered 280 feet from the portal of the tunnel at a depth of 13O feet It has a northwest strike and dips south and in it's construc- ton is identical with the rich value producing veins of the Anaconda Copper Company, and exposes very profitable shipping gold. copper and silver.
 We expect to ship ore 10 the smelter at another fifty feet depth in the tunnel. The last assays have shown same to be paying ore that will give the corporation a profit once we ship regularly to the smelters.
 "Over 1900 feet of underground workings including cross cutting a major 62-foot coper, gold and silver vein. has proven to US that we have the eastern extension of identically the same vein system that has pro- duced and is now producing such great wealth for the Anaconda Cop per Company"
 After reading this wonderful re- port it may be a shock to learn from Mir. Futile that a tunnel has always existed on the property and that scarcely a cent has been spent on it.
 For a magistrate Of the City of New York to be identified with such a concern in itself is beyond compu- tation; the remainder is a matter for
