The following letter recently ap-peared in the New York World:,To the Editor of The World:

Every day while glancing" through,the editorial page of any newspaperI notice almost invariably an editor-ial or a letter for or against (mostlyagainst) the Prohibition Amendment.The newspapers and magaxines arethe voice and the opinion of thepeople. By constantly displaying andexaggerating the bad points of thisamendment and giving a full.columnwrite-up of a person who breaks thislaw, the people begin to believe thatthe law is totally bad and they finda thrill In breaking the law. Theyfind an enjoyment in telling theirfriends that they can get the "realstuff." These people do'not drinkwhiskey for the pleasure derived inthe drinking of it (there is' none),but for the pleasure they get in say-ing that they drink i t The peopleconsider .It. a virtue to break thislaw. . . . . . _ .

Night and day the commanders ofthe blue-painted fleet will be In touchwith the Customs House in New York,advising with Captain W. V. E. Jacob*.Coast Guard commander for this area,and making all their moves on his Instructions. The warfare Is to be wagedon comprehensive plans that were daysIn the making at conferences' betweenCaptain Jacobs. Admiral Blllard, coastgnard commandant, . and AssistantSecretary of the Treasury Lincoln C.Andrews, in charge of prohibition en-forcement on land and sea.

From the scanty Information avail-able concerning the expedition It waslearned that orders hart gone out fromcoast guar'. headquarters in Washing-ton that this was to be a war of ex-termination and that every effort wasto be made to sweep the rum armadafrom the Atlantic seaboard by June 1.No secret w..s made of the fact thatIt was to be the most comprehensivecampaign the dry navy has. madeagainst rum runners since the pro-hibition amendment was passed.

Captain Jacobs refused to discusshis plan of campaign, although it wasgenerally understood that one or moreGovernment boats would remain with-in hailing distance of each of the float-Ing liquor. warehouses every hour inan attempt to "starve" the liquor ven-dors off the row. Captain Jacobs de-nied that he had issued orderJ to hismen to 'shoot to kill," but .said:

' "It will be dangerous for anybody totry to escape when we order to sur-render." The vessels carried a varietyof ordnance, from machine guns to Biz-Inch rifles and anti-aircraft guns.

The blue-painted craft that took tosea from the Stat'en Island bane—thecutters Seneca, Red Wing, Gresham,Yamacraw, Manhattan and Acushnet,

Morethan 200 men manned the fleet Asmany more, or a score more, vesselswere being held in reserve. It wasannounced the blockade to be put intoeffect would spread along the coastfrom Connecticut to New Jersey.

The dry offensive was preceded by ashakeup among the approximately 400men attached to the coast guard here.Captain John I. Bryan, In charge ofthis base, admitted that, in addition tothe arrest of nineteen men on chargesranging from bribery to assault andbattery, virtually every other member

' of the contingent had been trans-ferred. As a result, no two men ofany old crew were permitted to serveIn the same crew under the new

At the same time Mr. Barnes tookcognizance of a report published thatthe liquor was owned by Sir Brod-erick Hartwell, the English Knightwho recently announced that bisefforts to bootleg liquor into the

' United States had ended disastrously."It is only a rumor that the Homesteadis the property of Sir Broderick," Mr.Barnes said. "To my knowledge, itmost certainly haa not been supportedby evidence."

WILBUR RIDICULESAIR DEFENSE ALONE

Tells Connecticut C. of C. NationWent to War Because Germany

Hit at Our Commerce.

Hartford, Conn.—Any reliance sole-'ly upon aircraft for defense purposeswas declared insufficient by SecretaryWilbur in an address before the Con-necticut Chamber of Commerce.

"To defend America we must beprepared to defend its Interests andour flag in every corner of the .globe,"he asserted. "The suggestion that theUnited States cab be defended solelyby aircraft operating from our shoresis bora of ignorance of what consti-tutes our nation and of its vast andworld-wide Interests, and also of anunwiae enthusiasm for one feature ofour national defense."

An adequate navy Is necessary forour national defense, he declared, be-cause the- United States Is a "worldpower with world-wide commercial In-terests, and with inescapable com-mitments and obligations.

"A Chinese wall around continentalUnited States," he continued,whether of stone, of coast defeosebatteries, or of bombing planes capa-ble of attacking ships 250 miles fromour coast, is no defense of the far-flung commerce and interests of theUnited States. World-wide interestsrequire a world-wide defense."

The Navy Secretary, speaking on"Commerce and. the Flag," assertedthat, "as our nation has been knit to-gether in its material and moral in-terests by its interstate commerce,'so

.it has been joined by its foreign orinternational commerce.

Washington.—The drive to get thenational budget ot Government ex-peuoltures for all purposes below the$3 000,000^000 mark'has been startedagblc by the President and the BudgetBureau. This goal may be approachedduring the fiscal year 1925-26. and offi-cials appear confident that it will beattained not later than during the fis-cal year 1926-27.. The latest Coolidge economy drivewill be officially launched at the meet-ing of the Government departmentheads here on June 22. President Coo-lidge has shown such an interest Inthis campaign to get expendituresdown below the $3,000,000,000 levelthat he will delay his vacation to at-tend the meeting. Director Lord, ofthe Budget Bureau, also will be onhand, and already Government officialsare hard at work on estimates to sub/mlt to the Budget Bureau showingwhat savings they hope to make.

According to the last, official esti-mate, made In December, Governmentexpenditures for the flscal year 1924-25, will be $3,634,083,808. Estimatesmade at the same time by tbe BudgetBureau calculated expenditures for thefiscal year 1925-26. which ends on JuneSO, 1926. at $3,267,651,378.

On the basis of these figures andestimates made of probable revenues,it was calculated further that therewould be a surplus of receipts over expendltures of $67,684,480 tor the fiscalyear 1924-25. and of $373,743,714 forthe fiscal year 1925-26. granting thatno changes were made in tax rates hithe meantime. ' .-*•'.

The Immediate task of the Govern-ment In seeking to attain the goal ofnot more than $3,000,000,000 in expen-ditures annually is to cut down aa taras possible the actual expenditures tothe flscal year 1925-26, as comparedwith the estimate of $3,267,551,378.There are some who believe that bysevere economy in governmental oper-ation, and the application of virtuallyall surplus revenues to public debt re-ductien, actual expenditures during1925-26 may be held down pretty closeto $3,000,000,000. And there is a gen-eral feeling that when the budget esti-mates for 1926-27 are sent to Congressnext Fall they will show contemplatedexpenditures of considerably less than$3,000,000,000 for that flscal year.

A statement of the manner in whichthe estimate ot $3,267,551,378 in ex-'penditures for 1925-26 was arrived atgives a better idea of what the WhiteHouse and budget Bureau are tryingto achieve. In that estimate the nec-essary appropriations for tbe execu-tive, legislative and miscellaneous de-partments, not Including the PostOffice Department, were put at $1,777,-377,711. The rest ot the total coveredany probable deficit of receipts asagainst expenditures of the Post OfficeDepartment, money to be used In thereduction of the public debt, and anItem of $3,000,000,000 to pay annual in-terest on the huge public debt

To get the total expenditure belowthe estimates for 1925-26, It is thehope of the White House to reduceboth classes of expenditures as com-pared with the estimates. The recentefforts to reduce the personnel of theGovernment departments has been onestep In that direction. Public debt in-terest, however, can only be reducedby reduction Of'the amount of the prin-cipal, or by refunding operations underwhich Government bonds and short-term certificates are replaced by newissues paying a lower rate of Interest.Virtually all payment of interest orprincipal by foreign governments ontheir wartime indebtedness to theUnited States Is being applied to. re-duction of debt principal, and surplusrevenue from tax receipts is beingused for the same purpose* wheneverpossible.

The woman was Mrs. Anna M. Pang-horn, who died here recently. Sheleft her entire estate to former PoliceJudge Frank J.

New York.—Governort of nearly ev-ery State In the Union have com-pleted arrangements to send officialdelegates to the Conference on ChildWelfare, which opens at the Hotel(

Blltmore, New York City, Fridaymorning, May 15.

Word has been received at the of-fices of the Child Welfare Committeeof America, 730 Fifth avenue, that therepresentatives of the Governors ofAlaska and Hawaii are en route toNew York. '

This conference was called jointlyby the New York State Commissionto Examine Laws Relating to ChildWelfare, of which Senator BenjaminArstin is chairman, and the Child Wel-fare Committee of America, of whichSophie Irene Loeb.is president. It isdesigned to bring about an Inter-change of thought on the best meansto extend the application of the Wid-ow's Pension-Child Welfare Law.

Already forty-two states haveWidows' Pension Laws in active oper-ation, and it is expected that out ofthis conference will come a plan forbringing the remaining six s ta tes -Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Missis-sippi, New Mexico, and South Caro-lina—into line with the others.

The conference is also expected todevelop a program which will liberal-ize and equalize the existing laws inevery state so that no child of able'body and able mind need be placed inan institution because poverty and theloss of the bread-winner of the fam-ily, threatens to break up the home.The philosophy back ot this confer-ence is that the home must be keptIntact; that the child must have thebenefit of the mother's care and homelife; and that it is a duty of the state,which ultimately reaps the benefitsor the disadvantages attendant uponfamily influence, to see to It, as acivic function, that poverty does notbecome a social menace.

NEED FOR CHURCH VIGOR

The churches of Connecticut whilewonderfully efficient and statesman-Ilka in the management of churchextension and of reform and humani-tarian moTements in distant fieldshave been neglectful, short-sightedand inefficient in dealing with thesocial and moral problems of our ownstate.

A hundred years ago the church inConnecticut was' the official guard-Ian of the state's morals and whenit yielded its official rights and privi-leges, it did not need to surrender itsleadership in moral and civic reform.The churches have turned > over theChristian benevolences In the stateto professional social service agenc-ies, ignoring the plain teaching ofholy writ that it was their businessto attend to poverty, crime and suf-fering themselves. The ministers ofour state have had to preach a theor-etical gospel and ignore injustice andwickedness under their very eyes.

The arousing of the churches ofthe state to the support of the Wheel-er bills Is the most significant andhopeful event in the llveB of thesechurches of this new century. Itmust not stop short. It must be thebeginning of a new crusade to fightfor the cause of righteousness intheir own commonwealth.

Going to ChurchThe habit of all going to

church on a certain day hassomething in favor of it. Butit is largely effervescence ofanother kind. It is easy enoughto work up a sentiment in aVillage under the influence ofwhich every man and womanagees to go to church on a cer-tain Sunday, just to see howwelj the churches look whenthey are all packed with hu-manity. But of what avail Isit unless the habit is continued,unless men and women therebyget into the habit of going noton show day, but on every Sun-day of the. year.

Everyone seemed to be glad of afehance to go to the church tomeet friends and neighbors onthe way in and again on theway out, and as for the ser-taons, we recall at least one manwho complained bitterly be-cause a new minister saw fit toreduce the time occupied by thedelivery of his sermon to onehour. One hour was his limitfarther behind the veil of

story of his father's name, whichhas been printed in many and evi-dently more or less incorrect forms.The boy was named Hiram Ulysses,and was commonly called "Lyss."The local congressman who nom-inated him to West Point apparent-ly knowing that the name Simpsonwas in the family, by negligence ofwhich he and the boy's father seem,to share the responsibility, got Itinto his head that his name wasUlysses SlmpBon Grant and sentin the nomination in the name otUlysses S. Grant (not Ulysses Simp-son Grant) which name he thereup-on assumed, and later was graduat-ed, commissioned and breveted inthat name, which he bore for therest of his life, but never assuredor admitted Simpson as being anypart of his name.

The name Ulysses S. Grant hasnow descended to several ot his pos-terity, each of whom, as I was t"ld,uniformly writes it Ulysses S. Grantand disclaims, as the general did,the name of Simpson as being tnypart of his name. The general'sson and namesake, my informant,and a Ulysses S. Grant, 4th, appearto have gone through college under

l S Gant and

ing cameras granted the knights ofthe hairless skull celluloid immor-tality. There followed the festivitiesof the evening, with every effortmade ft) uphold the club's boast thatIt is the jolliest dub in America.

The first note struck in this pro-gram of Jollity was the announce-ment that the pet boredom of ban-quets would be eliminated'by re-stricting ambitious orators to oneminutes speeches. Walter Wakeman,one of the original members of theclub, was called on for,a speech. Hehad heard the call of his bald head-ed brethren from far off Wllkes-Barre, Pa., and bore with him a wittyletter of greeting from Judge HenryA. Fuller of that city. He introducedtwo other original members of thedub, John Rodemeyer of Greenwichand George Oldfield of Stockbrldge.

Charles A. Vail, the newly electedpresident and John Rodemeyer alsospoke. The last named was presentedwith a bottle of insecticide to guardagainst the summer days when mos-quitoes would be tempted by hisshining pate, and Edward Page ofStamford, in token with being theyoungest member, drew a nursingbottle. An eight day watch was pre-sented to I. A. May, an official of theConnecticut company with somepointed remarks about the failureof his company to run its cars onschedule time.

Expended-Torn Area

Committee for DevastatedFrance Report*.

Washington.—The final report of theactivities of the American Committeetor Devastated France, Int. coveringthe period from Its establishment on

. April 1, 1918, to the formal ending ofIts work in the war-torn areas otFrance on March 81. 1024. has Justbeen Issued. The report disclosed thattbe committee received a total of $4,-818.740 in cash and supplies and oftbls sum 7&85 per cent, or S8.68&873.was sent to France, or spent In theUnited States for the benefit of France.

In making public the report, RongetD. Jenkins, executive vice presidentof the committee, said that the prin-cipal services developed in France byttae committee had been taken over byFrench committees. This step was Inline with the original policy of tbe or-ganization, which sought to reduce to aminimum the after-waste of war andInsure the continued effectiveness oftbe work. Hiss Anne Morgan, chair-man of the executive committee of theorganization, wrote a foreword to thereport.

"The American Committee for Dev-astated France," she said, "has com-pleted Its work. Its records show atotal of more than $4,000,000 receivedand disbursed. The committee re-garded Itself always as a trustee, re-sponsible to Its donors and friends. Tothem It now presents this summarizedstatement of Its activities. To thethousands who gave so generously oftheir means, their time and theirthought In order that Its purposesmight be realized, the committee ex-tends Its deep gratitude."

Established Forty-Five Canteens.Even before the organization applied

Itself to the civilian problems of thewar zone It was called upon to aid themilitary forces. In this work 45 can-teens were established, and more than860,000 American and French soldierswere served, and, In addition, sixwomen doctors and ten nurses wentInto service In emergency hospitals.

"In retrospect," said the report, "thecommittee's program appears to havebeen planned at the outset and car-ried through to the end. Actually, Itwas forged on the anvil of demand.

Tbe type of service changed constant-ly with the succeeding needs of thepeople. Tbe first task was emergencyrelief—to provide places to sleep,food and clothing, to care for tbe chil-dren, to restore tbe soil to production.Then came a need tor public healthmeasures, hygiene, physical education,agricultural aid, libraries, schools—aservice to meet tbe barest physical andspiritual necessities of a people whowere taking np life anew In a regionrained by war."

The report disclosed that the sumof $204,741 was spent for education-al and children's work, and that $87,-690 was expended In agriculture., Forpublic health and nursing the sum of$11,670 was used, wnile in the re-habilitation and relief of villages $28,-968 was employed. The committeespent $26£T9 In the purchase ot foodfrom the American army, and $8,000tor church bells. Discussing tbe chiefservices which the committee estab-lished and maintained, the report said:

Transportation—In a territory whereall normal means of transportation-had been destroyed or disrupted tbewhole service of tbe committee wasdependent on Its own transportationsystem. In order to accomplish this,68 camions and camlonettes and arepair shop were maintained. .

"Construction—Obviously there wasan Immediate heed for building and re-pairs. Sawmill, carpenters' and Join-ers' shops were established at Bler-ancourt, and employed an average ot175 workmen; prisoners of war first,and then needy refugees. In addition,repairs to buildings were made andfurniture manufactured for schoolsand libraries. The staff also took onprivate work at the rate of 800,000francs a month; the profits going tocivilian relief. The business thus es-tablished was finally sold to a con-tracting firm and the money obtainedwas turned Into.the promotion of thepublic health service."

Furnished Farm Implements.In the way ot agricultural aid the

committee furnished farm Implements,live Stock, vegetables and seeds, dis-tributing them ' below cost. Aban-

AERIAL WINDMILL TO HARNESSGALE FOR WORK ON FARM

British Expect to GenerateCheap Electricity.

London.—Raving failed to achieveany world-beating records In aeriallyracing the wind, John Bull Is tryingto harness the "blawsted" gale.

An "airplane windmill," Invented bya Berlin scientist. Major Bllau, Is thebackbone of tbe effort. A specimen ofthis invention and four other typeshave been erected on the hilly groundnear Uarpenden, ' In Hertfordshire,where the Oxford University Instituteof Agricultural Engineering has estab-lished a testing ground.

Englishmen have been so encour-aged by the results of the experiments,to date Cat they already have visionsof huge economies and a brighter coun-tryside, through the cheap generationof electricity.

It Is believed that a windmill willeventuate " capable of operating allof the plant ot a large farm .or of sup-plying .all the needs of the averagevillage—lighting tbe streets . andhouses.' and, perhaps, running Its"movie" house. After the Installation,It Is thought, .the cost of operation willbe almost nli., All .the attention re-quired will be the visit of a man withon oil rva once a month.

The stcdl suits of the Bllau aero-d»numo are mounted on n stout postdome thirty feet high. They give theappearance of a greatly magnified air-plane propeller Th« sails are so con-structed that suction Is brought into

play to get every possible ounce ofturning power from the wind. As tbesails revclve they set cogs in motion,which operate a dynamo contained Ina balloon-llke attachment behind tbepropeller. The current so generatedIs carried by wires to tbe power sta-tion.

The testing station officials havefound a machine of the older typegenerates three-quarters of a kilowatt,with the wind blowing at five milesan hour. Under similar conditionalthey say, the Bllau machine Is appar-ently capable of registering-, at leastfive kilowatts, or roughly the equiva-lent of a seven horse-power motor..

Asteamer captain recently passing upthe coast reports that be encounteredthousands of dead birds end fish Inthe sea. Other reports state that re-gions rainless tor years are havingrains and that rivers nave formed al-most over night In the one-timeparched desert

A bulletin from the Washingtonheadquarters of the National Geo-graphic society quotes a. communica-tion to tbe society from B. B. Coktrtelling bow Peru's cojd current hasshaped conditions along the coast

"The Humboldt current supple-mented no doubt by the tiptnrnlng ofcold bottom waters, maintains Itssteady course for thousands of miles,from Icy Antarctic latitudes to theequator," says tbe bulletin. "Thus itis that tropical shores are bathed bycold ocean waters, and,' with thisfundamental contrast, the stage Is settor an array of phenomena not fullyparalleled in any other part of theworld.

Cold Current Prevents Rain."Only two events in that Interesting

series command our present attention.These are tbe absencn of rainfall andthe consequent accumulation, throughcenturies untold, of a mine of wealthwhich might have been dissipated by

good little girls who are still un-spanked, are never scolded and whosemother is rearing them on the theorythat a child Is entitled to the same con-sideration, dignity and courtesy as anygrown-up visitor to the home.

They are Miss Jean Abbott, sevenyears old, and Miss Carol Abbott, whoIs five. Their mother is Mrs. Grace P.Abbott, daughter of William R. Pat-tangall, the Democratic candidate forgovernor of Maine last year.

Mother's ideas on child culture arequite satisfactory and should be ex-tensively adopted. Miss Jean and MissCarol solemnly assured/ the reporterwho interviewed them. ' They are re-markably demure young ladles, withquiet assurance far beyond their years.Both are accomplished housekeepers.Their Innocent knowledge of life and

Plan Own Affairs.Jean has been, able to build a fire

and get breakfast since she was fouryears old, and now Carol can do tbesame. They plan their own affairs,make their own social engagementswith their young friends and go aboutthings generally like regular "grown-ups,"

Self-reliance and responsibility arethe foundation stones for her InterestIng theories on the training of chil-dren, Sirs. Abbott explained.. In fact.Rhe doesn't believe In training at all,for she regards experience and ex-ample as the only satisfactory teach-ers for any human being of ordinaryIntelligence, whatever the person's agemay be.

Those who quote: "Spare the rodand spoil the child,", and who consider"children should be seen and notheard", as among the wisest of the oldcopybook maxims, are not on Mrs. Ab-bott's visiting Hat at all. "Because theaccident of birth has made one theparent of a child," she said, "does notgive one the right to strike that childor to attempt by force and coercion tomold that little body and developingmind to the parent's will.

conventional Ideas on the rearing ofchildren are all wrong. Perhaps I amall wrong, but I nm willing to rest mycase on the success of my Ideas onguiding, my own little girls."

The questions Jean and Carol askare always answered truthfully, andIn words their minds can grasp, Mrs.Abbott said. Their greatest ambitionIs to grow up to be clever, healthywomen and to have homes of theirown and big families; They are nevertold they mustn't eat this or do thatThe simple truth about the effect ontheir health of tbe wrong diet and ontheir character and -future of unwiseactions Is all that Is needed to 'securethe desired results.

A reporter, who spent several hourswith Jean and Carol In their home andelsewhere In Augusta, was amazed bytheir simple and unaffected manner,their quiet assurance and dignity, theirquaintly "grown-up" conversation andtheir gentle, well-modulated voices.

They play outdoors Just as hard asany other children In tbe neighborhoodand get Just as much fun out of theirdolls and toy* "It's all very simple,"explained a neighbor; "Jean and Carolare such good little girls and theynever need to be spankled or scolded."But their mother Insists it is Just tbeother way around.

the bureau, "there occurred In tbeUnited States over 41,000,000 blrtbsand approximately 22,000,000 deaths.It appears, therefore, that tbe gain inpopulation from excess of blrtbs overdeaths was something over 19,000,000;or more than three times the incressehi population due to immigration. Tbechief cause of Increase in populationin the United States, therefore, is notImmigration, but rather tbe fact thatmore people are born than die"

The figures of the' bureau on tbeyear-to-year Increase since 1909 are a sfollows:

Bureau of Economic Re-, search Estimates Gain

1,500,000 a Year.New York.—The population of con-

tinental United States reached a newhigh total of 114311,000 on January 1,1025, 'according to estimates by the Na-tional Bureau of Economic Research.

Tbe estimate was reached bystudy directed by Dr. WUlford LKing of the bureau's research staff aaa part of the bureau's general and con-tinuing Investigation of income In tbeUnited States.

Tbe gain In population in the Unit-ed States during the year 1924 was1,(327,000, according to these estimates.

Of every five persons added to thepopulation here last year, four wereborn here and only one was on immi-grant The far-reaching effect of thenew Immigration law Is demonstratedby comparison of last year with 1913,when Immigration added almost exact-ly, the same number to the populationas did births.

Last year's gain was less by approxi-mately 100,000 than the average an-nual gain of the last five years. Thegreatest Increase. In population in anyone year since the war was In 1928,when the addition was 1,998,000. Thebiggest of all years was 1009,. when thepopulation total Jumped by 2,178,000.

818,000 Immigrants Last Yssr.Net immigration to the United States

In 1913 was 952,000. Last year It was815,000. The greatest Immigration yearsince the war was 1028. when the netIncrease due to Immigrants was 747,-000. Increasing stringency in the ad-ministration laws Is mainly respon-sible, for .the falling off in. 1924 asagainst 1023.

The official census figures of 1920placed the population of the countryat 105,711,000. Unofficial figures pub-lished In Washington recently es-timated that the population of theUnited States on July 1 of this yearwould be. 113,500,000, or nearly a mil-lion less than the estimate of the bu-reau.

The bureau gives the following fig-ures on the net Immigration to theUnited States in the years-since thewar:19I»........ 1S.000 1922........ 278.0001910........446.000 1923........ 747,0001921........211,000 1924 .816,000

The statement continues as follows:Since 1911 the number of deaths has

tended to remain constant, while birthshave Increased by nearly 11 per centand the population has grown by some21 per cent

Of the total population, 88 out ofevery 100 persons are engaged In somegainful occupation—that la, workingfor a direct money Income.

The study of population growth wasmade by Dr. Wlllford L King of thebureau's research staff, as a part ofthe bureau's general and continuing In-vestigation of Income in the UnitedStates and Its changes from year toyear.

Tbe estimated Increase In population

In each year since January 1, 1900, isas follows:

The greatest percentage growth, ac-cording to tbe foregoing figures, tookplace In 1909 and the smallest in 1918,a year of war and of influenza epi-demic. The year 1923 shows one ofthe peaks of the period, while 1024 isslightly below the average, the changefrom 1923 being due to the falling offin Immigration.

The number of births since 1909 hasbeen a little less than double the num-ber pf deaths, but the figures Indicatethat during the last five years the ratioof births to deaths has almost reached2 to 1. This ratio has changed mate-rially since 1911, a year which wasabout normal. In that year the numberof births was apparently some 2389,-000, while the number of deaths wasabout 1328.000. In 1924. thirteen yearslater, the number of births appears tohave Increased by more than a quarterof a million, while the number ofdeaths was approximately unchanged.Since 1911 the number of deaths hastended to remain constant, while births

NUTRITION SPECIALIST WANTSUS ALL. TO PLANT GARDENS

Why are we printing so many ve-getable recipes this spring? Becauseso many of us are related to thebid woman who said "I don't wantto eat what I'd orter eat, I'd ruthereat what I'd ruther!" And the onlyway out Is that we should ruthereat vegetables. We need the veget-able habit and we need it now. Weneed to plan our vegetable gardenwith the expectation that by mid-summer, the vegetable habit willbe too strong for resistence. Doyou know what the nutrition special-ist says about vegetables? Read andbe convinced.
