sECRETAR v|sUALHEs STATIONARY POPULANCE
 BY THE YEAR OF 1960

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. IS. R-A stationary population in 30 years was visualized by Secretary Hyde on the basis of statistics.
 A declining birth rate, immigra- tion bars and an increase in deaths were given to President Hoover by the secretary in his annual report as the reasons for probable maxi mum United States population of IA, 100000 in 1860.
 Only four or five cities with l00,- 900 or more have enough children to maintain a stationary popula- ton without newcomers from out side. Birthrates are not declining so rapidly on farms.
 Tt therefore seems probable" {" Hyde said, that preventing the nations population from actually declining may be found to depend on the development of policies that will admit of a large proportion of the population dwelling in a rural environment, even though partly or wholly dependent on non-agricul- tural employment"

Biskra, Algeria.-This charming desert town, and all the country side hereabouts still struggles to live up to a romantic illusion spun by exotic fiction.
 For this, in case the name has slipped your mind, is "the Garden of Allah" this is the "Beni Mora" of the Kitchens novel, so popular some years back. And, if one can judge from the hordes of tourists who flock here in search of "atmos- phere'' and "color," the novelist cast a spell that the years have not been able to break.
 Romantic young ladies and old ladies, fat ladies and slim young ladies, rich ladies and mere travel CTS pour in during the winter months, expecting to find that touch of tapestried Orientalism which had seemed so illusive and alluring with in the cover of a book.

The paprika of the bizarre and the mythical has been so generously sprinkled here that hundreds of seekers of fictional background have come in search of thrills which, if you asked me, are slightly manu- factured.
 Reducing the situation to sem tence-here was a spot that had little more to offer than any one of a hundred North Africa towns when along came fictional fame. In the
