Low Birth Rate Accompanied by Lengthened Life Drop in New Babies Said by London Lecturer Not to Lessen Population of Nations. London, April 21.—One of Brit ain's experts on questions of popula tion shows that the facts are against the modern demand for an Increased birth-rate. In France a campaign with the motto “Have more children" Is being carried on with stale sup port, and In England soldiers and clergymen have for Several years been calling on mothers to have more babies. J. C. Flugel, senior lecturer In philosophy and psychology, university of London, declares not only that such efforts are useless, but that positive harm will follow in their .train. A moment'll consideration, he says, must show that the increase dr de crease of population must depend not upon the birth rate alone, but (In ad dition to the factors of emigration and immigration), upon the differ ence between the hirth rate and the death rate. If the death rate ts higlfer than the birth rate, the population Is declining; If. on the other hand, the births exceed the deaths, the popula tion is increasing, and Increasing by just the amount of the difference be tween the two. Again, a rise or fall in the birth rate dnps not necessarily Imply a cor responding rise or fall of population— the simultaneous movements of the il^ath late must first be .examined. Hirth and Death Rales. A study of birth rates and death rates over a considerable period re veals the existence of a strong tend envey for the fall in the hirth rate, whidb has become so marked In many civilized countries, to he accompanied by a corresponding fall In the death rate, with the result that population lias gone on Increasing as rapidly as before. Since 117(1 thej-e has taken place a steady decline in the birth rnte. being accompanied by an approximately •equal (if anything slightly larger) de cline in the death rate. Tills tendency js revealed with even more startling eP^irness by the fig ures for a single town. Berlin, where the movements In tiie hirth rate have been more marked, and where the statistics wer§ probably more than unusually accurate. Diagrams could he constructed for nearly all the principal civilized coun tries (including C.reat Britain), all showing the, same general tendency for a fall In the hirth rate tb be com pensated by a fall In the death rate, Ontario Instanced. Most lntorestlng of all In this re port sre the figures for Ontario, vihich show, first a fall in the birth rate <up to 113(1), and then a rise, this fall and rise being accompanied by a closely corresponding fall and rise in the death rate. This Indicates clearly that movements of the death rate In eithex direction are Intimately dependent on movements of the birth rate, and that the decline of the death rate Is really due to the lower birth rate and not. as might at first be sup posed. to the advance of hygiene and medicine. Tt should scarcely he necessary to point out that this law of correspond ence between hirth and death rates Is of the utmost Importance for human welfare It Indicates that the rteclln ing birth rate has brought the in ' calculable benefits implied by a lower death rate (signifying, as this does, a longer average duration of life and generally more prosperous and healthy conditions of existence), with out diminishing the Increase of popu lation. It shows also fhe futility of at tempting to Increase the hirth rate, as Is now being done in France and Turkey. All that Is to be expected from this attempt (should It—unhap pily for France or Turkey—meet with any success) Is an Increase In poverty and disease and a shorter average luratlon of life, without any appre lable Increase of population. In the last resort it is, in the over jelming majority of cases, food and , births that determine population, it js worse than useless for a |try to endeavor to Increase Its ,,-rs faster than Its economic re s will permit. ■ I^outs Hold Rally. patch t.i The Omaha Bee.

April II.—And now they’re going to take the kirk out of tobacco. Nicotine-less smokes are scheduled ' to follow beer-less beer. Frank D. Reynolds of this city. Is ! nanre^ as the man who is making this : possible. Reynolds is the inventor of i a formula for the removal of nicotine | from tobacco. An invention which ! promises to completely revolutionize I the world’s tobacco Industry in ! time. , The research work which led to the ultimata discovery of the wonderful formula was begun in 1877 In this city. Years of extensive research and experiment, followed hv a second 1 trip to Germany in quest of a separa-1 tion of one chemical which affected the oil In tobacco leaf, brought the' perfection of the formula. The introduction of the process of neutralizing the nicotine of to bacco into the tobacco industry of . America is almost ♦nevitabie. Pro I liibitlon, which legally eliminated the I intoxicating beverages, will next turn ! its attention to the cigar and the j cigaret, the nicotine in which is con sidered to be the second deadliest | poison, it Is believed. Nicotine-less eigarets and cigars ! cannot possibly be prohibited by law. 1 and thus the career of smoking is ! granted a definite permanency. With a 1-Yench totiacco mart open to Ameri-1 ; can ideas through the present nego 1 Rations for the purchase of the French | tobacco monopoly by the Whelan Huke-ltyan tobacco interests, ttj« ex j periment of the formula in that coun : try is not altogether improbable. Building Razed to Make, Way for New Structure i__. ... ; "1 The wrecked building shown in this picture is the one being torn down on Howard street between Sixteenth and Sevententh to make way for tlie new $300,000 office building which the Cook Brothers of Chicago will erect there this year. The old building, except the west end of it, was erected about 35 years ago by John Bedgw^ck and Charles F. Shaw, who in 1385 leased the ground for 99 yeara^from the Cook estate. Bedgwiek & Shaw kept the building only a few' years, selling it about 30 years ago along with their lease to Wright & Banbury. In 1919 Wright & Basbury conveyed (lie building and the lease hack to the Cook estate which had purchased the ground in 1833. The lease which Bedgwlck ft Shaw made in 1885 contained a revaluation caiuse which required reappraisal every five years. This clause, ac cording to realtors, made the ISase tiqa*tisfactory to both the lesse-s an(1 lessors because of the diffi culties that would arise at every re appraisal date. _ COME ON IN I and learn all about the merits of e.;.ropractie and how it will benefit YOU.
