England Alarmed
By Low Birth Rate
ig Now Lowest Since 1869
Except During
World War
Londoa^Despite the difficulties of
earing for her surplus population, to
which Is attributed much of her un
employment, Great Britain Is worried
ever the decrease In her birthrate.
Figures for the year 1928 show that
the birthrate was lower than for any
year since 1*89, except the years of
the war.
In 1912 there were 789.184 babies
orn la England, equivalent to a rate
of 89.4 for eaoh 1,909 of the popula- j
tlon.
Observers, however, are somewhat
ebeered by the fact that statistics
show the death rate for the nation
to be lower than for any year exeept
1981, which set the British record.
The total deaths in 1928 were 486,222,
equivalent to a rate of 12.8 per 1,000.
It will thus be seen that 293,895 more
peretwin were born during the year
l than died In the same period.
British babies also are, generally
| speaking a healthy lot, for the record
1 shows, the infant mortality rate for
J922 to have been the lowest in the
history of the country.

Americanization workers in ail parts

they mean. Meanwhile, peace officers

Effect of Athletics on
Human Heart Calculated
Paris.—The effect of physical ex
ercise on the heart has been calcu
lated by Dr. Boigey, chief of the
medical department of the School
of Jotnvllle. Dr. Boigey said that a
violent exercise like a race of 3,000
metres, though it lasted only about
10 minutes, disturbed the heart ac
tion from two to five hours. The
heart of an oarsmen, rowing at 20
strokes to a minute for half an hour,
would, the doctor said, be affected
for from 35 minutes to two hours.
But after a strenuous football game
lasting half an hour, the heart of a
player would return to normal much
quicker. The muscular activity In
football Is Intermittent and gives the
heart moments of respite.

KENYON CABINET
STOCK GOES UP
Action in Daugherty Probe
Depends on Successor in
Cabinet
Universal Service
Washington. March 31.—-Unite#
States Judge Kenyon, former pro
gressive senator of Iowa, loom*#
again Monday as a possible successor
to Attorney Uent ral Harry M. Daagh
erty.
Upon hie selection, or that of mine
one equally us acceptable to the pro
gressive bloc, is said to depend
whether the Senate committee will
drop the Daugherty investigation.
This intimation was brought to the
president Monday. It originated with
Senator Brookbart. chairman of the
Daugherty, committee, an# rapidly
gained momentum
It was based on the statement that
the committee would gladly turn their
work over to Judge Kenyon, because
they could repose confidence that he
would be as diligent to prosecut*
wrong doing as any member ef the
Senate.
Ruga's Stock Slumps
In the same proportion as Judge
Kenyon's stock went tip that of Judge
Arthur P. Rugg Massachusetts per
sonal friend of the president went
down.
While Senate progressives d« net
question the integrity or ability of
Judge Rugg they lean to Judge Ken
yon as one better known to them ami
to the public. They point out that
in view of countless charges an#
counter charges an appointment must
he made which will restore the con
fidence of the people.
The name of Owen J. Roberts
Philadelphia now special counsel in
prosecuting the naval lea.se frauds,
also has been put before the president
as a suitable and acceptable select!**.
Acceptance Likely
Judge Kenyon, it Is believed, waul#
accept if called upon by the president
to do so.
Judge Kenyon would have to make
the sacrifice of giving up a life time
Job on the bench for the 11 remain
tug months of this administration,
unless the party is succesefui in tho
November elections However, it Is
believed his friends in the Senate
could vastly assure him o reappoint
ment to the federal bench should be
later desire it.
1 The developments of the day com
pletely changed the situation at the
. time when it was believed the pres
ident hud definitely decided upon
1 Judge Rugg His mind is said now
to be again open, although every ef
fort la being made to select an at
torney general at the earliest possible
moment.
