Swiss Birthrate

The Swiss, with the worlds lowest
blrthrate, may soon become wan
ishing race" latest vital statistics
about the nation disclose. Swiss
babies born in 1896 were 10000 few
er than those in 1900, and between
those dates the number of births a
1000 potential mothers slumped
from 266 to l3l. Should the decline
continue, Switzerland's death rate in
l945 will exceed its birth rate.

of northern India, were anxious to
try their climbing ability on this
famous mountain, but no japanese
guides were willing to climb the
peak during the winter. Not to be
daunted by the refusal of guide
service the two American lads pro-
ceeded to scale the mountain to
height of 11,000 feet before turning
back due to the intense cold.
Burkhalter commented on the in
tense national feeling in Japan,
stating that Japanese flags were
found flying every place. The peo-
pie of Japan, he felt, are definitely
behind the war with China, largely
due to their allegiance to the Sun
Emperor, Hirochito, who personifies
their national religion of Shintoism.
He felt that the Japanese would not
drop the war now, but fight to the
finish regardless of the time in
volved, due to the fact that they
don't want to lose their faces"
JAPAN IMPREssING
On the whole he thought Japan
to be "a very nice country" COM
menting especially on the highly
modernized Tokyo and other major
Japanese cities. He also compli-
mented the japanese on their ex-
treme politeness. No anti-American
feeling was evident, he said, altho
there was some feeling against the
British while he was there due to
the incident in which the British
took German sailors off Japanese
vessel. ka - to a 3e
Due to the war, women are assum-
ing many occupations formerly held
by men such as street car conduct
ors, mail delivery, etc. This short
age of manual labor was the ex-
planation he gave to the eight-day
delay in the overhauling of the
Japanese liner, Heian-Maru, which
he was to sail on from Yokohama.
He sailed from Yokohama on jan
uary 81. Perhaps the most unusual
fact of the entire trip from his
school in India to Bluffton was that
for him there were thirty days in
February. This strange phenomena
is explained by the fact that cross
ing the international Dateline there
were two February the sixths. plus
the fact that this is leap year, ac-
counting for the other extra day.
CREW TRANSFERRED
Another interesting fact is that
the crew of the Filipino liner, "Pres-
ident Quezon' which was wrecked
and sunk off southern Japan was
transferred to the vessel upon which
he was travelling.
Engine trouble for two days on
the sea, forcing the ship to be pro-
PEELED by one engine was the only
incident of note while sailing.
Among the interesting fellow pas
sengers was an American business
man who had bought a number of
Indian badminton sets to be sold in
America at large profit.
Burkhalter landed at Seattle,
Washington, Feb. ID. He arrived at
his uncle's home Saturday evening
His grandmother, Mrs. Susan Good
also lives in Bluffton. At present
he is staying at the home of Rev
John Thiessen, also missionary in
the Central Province. He will soor
move into Lincoln hall, mems dormi-
tory of Bluffton college.
Mr.. Burkhalter, talented violin
ist, is entering the college as a
freshman in the School of Music.

City With Streets of Gold

Dawson City, Yukon Territory,
may be said to have streets of gold.
After the recovery of the main gold
content of gravel originally washed
down from above the Klondike val
ley, hundreds of tons of waste in
which trace of gold still remained
were used to grade the roads in and
around the town. The actual gold
content remaining Is, of course, very
small.

Chewing Gum Okayed

Chewing gum, pencils, rubber
bands, toothpicks, pipestems and
other things are restful and useful
forms of exercise for office workers,
Prof. H. L. Hollingsworth, of Bar
nard college in New York city re-
ported recently. Experiments made
over a four-year period showed that
chewing relaxes tension and allows
individuals to apply more energy to
the tasks at hand.

Contested at different times by
Moors and Spaniards, the "Rock"
was seized by England in 1704. Nine
years later it was ceded to Great
Britain by Spain; but the struggle

One reason why Bluffton High Gag

Bluffton can tie Wapakoneta for
second place in the Western Buckeye

school basketeers defeat the Indians
in critical game here Friday night
Wapakoneta has one more victory
than Bluffton in present standing, but
