Population May Need Adjust.
ment

As II American cities did not al
ready have enough problems. a de-
clining birth rate is about to, present
them with an entirely new one.
E. o. Baker, specialist attached to
the department Of agriculture, warns
the American Country Life associa-
ton that the American birth rate has
already fallen so low that the ma
tional population cannot be MAIN
tanned permanently.
Nothing can keep our cities at
their present size, he says, but
q heavy migration from farm to city.
and that will do the trick only for q
few more decades-at the cost, Incl
dentally, Of drained and impover-
1shed countryside.
Sometimes one Is forced to suspect
that the race has managed to reach
an end Of whole biological era. Dur
ing the last two centuries, there has
been . tremendous expansion Of
world population. The rising curve
now seems to be leveling off.
II national populations, including
our own, are not to increase any more,
or are even to diminish, some pro-
found readjustments will presently be
in order.

The Meat Cost Spread

Farm Program Shows Up Well

Farm Program Shows Up Well
The financial angle of the farm
program Is interesting. Newest fig
ures released In Washington show
that farmers participating in the
crop adjustment programs have re-
oeived, to date, slightly more than
s507, 100000 in cash benefits. This,
however, has cost the treasury Moth
ing, the processing taxes having
taken in $3.50, 100000.
These payments in themselves are
an important contribution to farm
income. But the AAA program must
ultimately stand or fall on its success
In increasing the farmers income In
directly, by raising the prices OF the
things he sells, rather than by its
direct payments; and in this field,
too. the record Is not half bad.
Farm income for the current year
is estimated at $6,oO0,o0O, 900, which
is about 10 per cent above the 1888
total and some 80 per cent above the
total, for 1892.
In other words, the program Is
costing the treasury nothing. and it
is slowly succeeding in raising farm
prices.

For the Peace of the World

Vice Premier Stanley Baldwin of
England tells . Glasgow audience
that Great Britain's fleet will never
be used In the armed blockade of
any country on earth until the gov
eminent has first consulted the
United States government. Stimuli
taneously, Secretary Of State Cordell
Hull Of the United States forecasts
close. friendly and active cooperation
between this country and England in
matters Of future naval policy.
From these statements it is reason
able to assume that leading men In
both governments are coming more
and more to the belief that the two
great English-speaking nations will
stand more or less shoulder to Shout
der in international affairs hence
forth; and the augury is a good one.
A decade ago the two countries
seemed to b drifting into condition
q mutual hostility-which would
have been . tremendous tragedy.
When Ill IS said and done, there are
overwhelming reasons for coopera-
ton. II America and England are to
stand together, the peace Of the wo.ld
should be measurably safer.

Let Out to Shoot-Quail!

A great deal Of the complaint abuut
~coddling prisoners" IS stupid and
prejudiced. However, the state Of
Oklahoma has just provided an ex-
cellent example Of the sort of cod
ding that is really worth beefing
about, by releasing Matt Kimes, no-
torious bandit and killer, for q six
cay quail hunt.
HINES was ordered released with
out . guard. His attorney said that
authorization for the release came
from Governor Murray, who, he said.
felt that Kimes was entitled to a
leave Of absence because Of his ex-
cellent conduct while in the peniten-
tiary.
It Is gratifying, Of course, to know
that q desperate has been behaving
himself well while in prison. Still, It
Is . little bit hard to see just why
this entities him to q vacation. It Is
worth remembering that this gentle
mans good behavior, so far, seems to
have been confined to one spot-the
interior Of the penitentiary.

The United States seems to have
received title, or something resem-
bling it, to a considerable quantity OF
new land. Admiral Byrd, having ex-
plored large stretch of hitherto
undiscovered land in the Antarctic
claims it for the United States In the
traditional manner.
All in all, now, this country has a
more or less valid claim to some 200,-
600 square miles In the vicinity of the
South Pole.
To be sure, there is precious little
to show that this land is ever going
to be worth anything to us. Even
II the frozen soil should be found to
be rich in mineral wealth. for in
stance, Antarctica is a MORALLY Geld
sort of place that might easily resist
development to the end Of time.
Still, with the world almost COM
pletely mapped and surveyed, 1t is
somehow thrilling to be able to claim
new territories in the time -honored
way-by right Of discovery.

Do all newborn babies have blue
eyes, and the eyes only turn darker
later, II the baby is to have brown
eyes? Mrs. n. RI
Answer-Au eyes are brown. When
the color ring around the central
dark spot or pupil Is least augmented
the eyes are called blue; when most
heavily pigmented they are called
black. In albinos there Is no pig
ment In the iris, and the pink Of the
retina or internal part Of the eye
shows thru. Infants have the least
pigment IN iris at birth. and the pig
ment deposit increases In the first
few weeks, 50 that the eyes look
darker as the baby grows older.

Auto Deaths Go Up With
Repeal

The first detailed figures on auto
accidents for 1894, just made public
by the Travellers Insurance Co., are
exceedingly shocking. During the
first 10 months Of this year there has
been an increase Of Is. per cent In
the number Of traffic fatalities.
More than $4,000 people have been
killed by autos since Jan. J.; the total
for the year will be upwards Of $4,000
AN all-time record.
The first question to be asked Is.
How far is repeal responsible for
this?" The figures have not yet been
broken down and analysed: but at
first glance alcohol seems to have
played an important part in the In
crease.
There has, for instance, been a
gain Of nearly "a per cent in the
number OF intoxicated drivers In
yolved in accidents. Indications are
that repeal has made our traffic
problem considerably more difficult.

Tribune Washington Correspondent

Washington, Dec. 5. - The New
Deals legal stars are more confident
now about New Deal test cases before
the supreme court.
That's because they've achieved at
least partial new deal, at the De-
partment Of Justice.
For weeks, the D. J. took one Of
the worst backstage paintings ever
handed q government department.
Most Of the emergency agency lawyers
served as infantry men in the screen
ed attack, but the hidden Big Der.
thas were certain supreme court Jus.
tees who made their views known to
the White House.
The targets included Attorney Cen
cral Homer Cummings. Solicitor
General J. Crawford Biggs, much Of
their staff, and the group Of politi-
clans and lobbyists commonly believed
to be closely associated with the .. ].
How, the New Deal attorneys de.
manded, could the government hope
to win with old Mr.. Biggs presenting
its cases and the D. J. generally MAIN
tanning what seemed to them IN atti-
tude Of non-cooperation?
So q compromise has been effected
in the best Roosevelt manner. De-
mands Of the more bitter critics that
Cummings and Biggs be replaced are
being ignored-for the present.
But Biggs won't be presenting any
important New Deal test cases to the
supreme bench. And Assistant Attor.
ney General Angus Mclean, nick
named Anguish" by others than his
friends, won't be handling any su-
rreme court cases at all.
The whole D. j. Is working more
closely with MIRA, AAA, PWA, and
other agencies and appointment Of
special Assistant Attorney General
Stanleigh Arnold to handle NRA
cases IS accompanied by assurance
that he will be primarily responsible
to MIRA.

will be the gold cases, to be- aruged

that the able General Counsel STAN
ley Reed Of RIG can appear for the

General Cummings let 1t be known
that he, rather than Biggs, would also
appear.
Some Of Reeds friends have been
pushing him for the solicitor general
ship, but it IS now more likely that
he will be made Q federal Judge in
Kentucky.
