THREE GROUPS
OF POPULATION
SET FOR STUDY
Biologist Fixes Basis for
Social and Economic
Analysis Work.
By Science Serrice

EW NCffNff NfFIlff
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Human
society has evolved many more
different castles than have ant and
termite societies. To Americans
STEPPED in the idea that "all men
are created free and equal" this
may seem to be a statement more
applicable to India or some land
other than the U. S. A.
Nevertheless. such is the finding
of Professor Raymond Pearl of the
Johns Hopkins University, a lead
ing biologist, who has prepared a
new classification and code Of occu-
patrons for use in analysis Of social
and economic conditions.
In research in human biology,
Professor Pearl and his associates
study such important factors as the
death rate, the birth rate, and
differential fertility. The new
occupational classification which he
discusses in the current number of
the scientific journal, Human Biolo-
gy. will permit more thorough and
penetrating analysis Of the effect
Of social and economic forces as
they influence population. 1t is
the first step in a systematic plan
of research on population "castes"
that is being undertaken in the de-
partment of biology of the Johns
Hopkins School Of Hygiene and
Public Health at Baltimore.
Three Broad Groupings
This new classification puts all
occupations into three broad classes
as follows: l. Owners, managers,
officials and professional men, 2.
Skilled and semi professional work
ers; 8. Laborers-unskilled and
Semi-skilled
The primary purpose is TO con-
trast, for research purposes, two
classes Of persons, namely those in
class l and those in class 2. Class
l persons are, on the whole, sit
uated at or near the top of things
in the existing social organization.
Those in class are at or near the
bottom in the same social organiza-
ton. This leaves the second class
who are neither very near the top
nor the bottom, who if they some
times think themselves worse off
than those in class l are plainly
and admittedly better off than those
in class 3.
More Study Given Bugs
A tabulation of the male popula-
ton of New York state on this new
classification shows that approx
mately 81 per cent of the gainfully
employed males in New York fall
in class /, and % per cent in class
3, leaving so per cent in the in
termediate class 2.
In commenting on this new
classification to a representative of
Science Service, Professor Pearl
said:
While we hear a good deal of
rather vague talk and writing about
social organization, there is need for
more precise statistical description
and analysis of the actually existing
Organization of society. Human
society has actually evolved a great
many more of what amount to diff
ferentiated castles than have ant or
termite societies. But we know
practically nothing about what pro-
portion of our human worker castles
are either optional or necessary.

Addressing students of the gov
ernment's criminology school.
conducted for it's agents by the
United States bureau of investiga-
ton at Washington, J. Edgar Hoo
yer, director of the bureau, once
said:
Most of this talk about false
whiskers and DISCUSSES IN detec-
tive work is bunkum. Mysteries
are solved through hard work,
honesty and common horse sense"
Plenty of hard work was in
volved in the case of the Great
Impersonator, Neil McConlogue,
who many times during the last
decade caused federal authorities
sleeplesS nights.
He is such likable man." peo-
pie often said about The poetic
McConlogue.
But Agent J-23, assigned in 1928
to capture him, was not inclined
to agree.
Starting in 1917 with an arrest
in Providence, R. l., McConlogue
was the guest of police in Newark,
Trenton, Boston, Long Beach,;
Cal; Los Angeles. San Antonio,
Washington and Cleveland.
Adopting the grand manner,
McConlogue often talked his cap
tors deaf, dumb and blind and
walked out on them.
Sometimes he would recite
poetry.

station, boys, let me recite you

out here in my private car" he'd
say, and go into a bit about a

TRUCKMEN TO
WAGE War ON
SENATE BILL
Measure Gives Monopoly to
Railroads, Charge of
Traffic Official.
FEARS RUIN FOR MANY
Scores of Firms Would Be
Driven Out of Business,
Says Harlow Hyde.

Charging that House Bill 125 will
drive hund1 eds of contract truckers
out Of business, and leave monopoly
in the transportation field to COM
mon carrier trucks and railroads,
was made today by Harlow Hyde,
assistant secretary of the Indiana
Motor Traffic Association, Inc.
The bill already has passed the
house and is now on final reading in
the senate. Hyde said attempts will
be made to check its progress there,
or amend it to make it more fair to
the contract men.
At least a grandfather" clause"
should be inserted, he said. This
automatically would grant certif1-
Gates of operation from the public
service commission to contract
haulers now operating.
Some Exemptions Made
Such clause was inserted when
the law bringing common carrier
trucks under public service commits
sion control was passed, he pointed
out.
Attempts by contract truckers to
gain more favorable terms partially
were successful this morning when
the bill was amended, but not all
of the proposed amendments were
adopted.
The present bill would place all
trucking under the public service
commission, requiring certificates
before being allowed to operate.
1t does exempt farm trucks,
household goods haulers, school
buses, and private trucks used in
business.
Hyde contends that trucks now
operated under contract with man
ufacturers would be forced out if the
bill becomes law and the man
ufacturers will buy their own trucks
Or use the common carriers, which
would result in increased freight
costs.
Monopoly Trend Shown
Tabulation of the trend toward
monopoly by railroads and truck
common carriers has been made by
Hyde. 1t shows that seven opera
tors hold forty-four certificates, COW
ering 1850 miles of the principal
paved highways of the state.
There are ninety-five carriers
with lab certificates, covering 1925
miles, the average permit being
about fifty miles, he said.
Arguments against the bill will
be that the people of Indiana paid
5000, 100000 for the highways during
the last ten years and should be
watchful that they do not become
monopolized.

Europe Sits on Volcano
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scrinns-Uoward Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-With
three inabroglios already on its hands
in China, the Chaco, and on the
upper Amazon-the League of Ma
lions today faced new upheaval in
Europe which threatens to lay all
the others in the shade.
With all the suddenness that char
acterized the World war explosion in
1914. whole series of startling
events have thrust themselves upon
the none too stable European stage,
causing world chancelleries grave
anxiety over what may happen next.
Here are some of them:
l. The unexpected rise of Fascist
Adolph Hitler to power in Germany
on platform which calls for scrap
ping of the treaty of Versaillers.
2. Fascist Hitler'S immediate ges-
ture of friendship and offer of CO.
operation with Fascist Mussolini.
3. The markedly frigid reception
of M. Henry de Jouvenel, Frances
new ambassador to Rome.
4. The osthentatious trial. in
Italy, of Professor Charles Eydoux
of the Ecole Polytechnique, Frances
school for army engineers, on a
charge of spying, timed to coincide
with M. De Jouvenel's arrival in
Rome.
5. Discovery of an illicit Ship
ment of approximately $4,000
rifles and machine guns en- route
from Italy to Hungary, through
Austria.
6. Frances and Britains ulti-
matum to Austria to return the
arms to Italy within two weeks, or
destroy them on the spot, and
produce satisfactory proof of what
was done with them.
These events have put new face
on the whole world situation. They
are largely behind the double
Somersault taken by Great Britain
and France on far eastern policy,
and they served at least to modify
Britain's stand on the war debts.

Struck by the charm of the re-
gion and lured by the fine bath
ing, Emperor Kang Hsi estab-
liShed his summer capital there in
1903. Other emperors after him
delighted to live, hunt and battle
there, and so Jehol grew and
flourished.
On Sept. ,. 1920, however, some
thing terrifying happened. En-
peror CHA Cheng was struck by
lightning. The fiery hand Of
heaven reached down and smote
him dead with one blow. 1t was
an evil omen. The wind and

sible task McConlogue was alive
there was no doubt of that. A
trail of forged checks, all drawn
on Denver bank, marked his
passage across the Pacific states,
showing an irregular and leisure
ly journey.
His forging of a wealthy rail-
road mans signature became so
customary as to take on individ-
uality that the capitalists own
signature lacked. No one suspect
ed McConlogue until too late. His
representations were helped by the
fact that he had given up recit-
ing poetry.

presentable, that is, except for the
lack of a necktie.
My name is Moore - James
Moore" said the visitor. Il know
Joe Moss, a friend of yours"
Joe Moss was a very good friend
of the Californian, and he would
excuse even a missing necktie for
him.
sit down, Mr.. Moore. What's on
your mind?"
I've just been robbed, and I
happened to think Of you. My
family and I were stuck up in our
car, just outside town. They tore
my necktie off because it had a
valuable pearl Stickpin in it. Can
you let me have $500?"
why, certainly. I can under
stand you need ready cash. You
wait here and I'll go down to the
bank and get it. You can't walk
around town dressed as you are"
The Californian went down the
hall and called the United States
bureau of investigation.
THE trouble with his story is
that Joe Moss has been dead five
years." he explained.
Special Agent J-23, who had
been awaiting just such a tip,
hurried to the business mans
office.
why, how do you do, Mr..
Moore?" he asked the Great I'M
personator. How do you like the
Sunshine?"
"McConlogue to you," said the
fugitive sadly. Say, would you like
to hear a poem I just composed?"

T-23 sped to the house and
y got the story. McConlogue-
she identified him from a photo
graph-had posed as Agent Dyer
of the secret service. He had
asked for 5000 to help get her
former employer out of Camp
Meade, and she cheerfully had
handed it over. But McConlogue
was gone again.
Quicker than he had hoped,
J-23 got further information.
From Camp Meade came tele-
gram:

Mr.. Carroll was very glad to see
J-23, and to tell him all about it.

producing a letter bearing the
signature of another Camp Meade

CAROLS. Carroll had suspected a
forgery, and had wired Camp

and J-23 was left far behind.

not end until he was behind bars.
1t was 1929 before J-23 picked
up another trail to McConlogue.
