Babies partic ularly boy babies, are doing- their best to insure that rthe census offi cer will have no easy time of it when he takes the record of the population of .the United Kjngdom next year. The registrar - general's latest re turns for1 the qtiatrer shows that the population is increasing. There were 117,764 baby boys born during the three months ending September 30, as against 112,103 girls. Infant mortality, as well as the general death rate for the quarter, shows a substantial decrease. Thc'se figures strikingly illustrate the fact that after a great war nature in some mysterious fashion always makes up tor the ravages 'ot war among the men of the country by causing the birth of more boy babies than girls. .

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Foreign New service, Berlin, Dec. 26. Food Minister Hermes is just about , -the most cordially hated man in Germany. On. the hate list he stands just be hind "Herr Clemenceau" and "Herr Doktor Wilson." Whenever there is a .shortage of potatoes or bread, when prices go up again, then invariably the people turn against Herr Hermes, the food minister. The "left wing" says: "Why didn t he keep up the bureaucratic service ot potato and meat distribu tion? Then Hermes could : have forced the peasants to sell potatoes and meat at low prices. . For Free Trade. The "right wing" is for free trade, "If coffee buyers were free to buy coffee, then we vould pay only 12 marks, but Hermes forbade the im portation of coffee, consequently we must rely on the smugglers, who buy it at less than 12 marks, but sell it for 36 just because Hermes believes that Germany, being a poor country, should not indulge m col fee drinking." . . Herr Hermes recently tried 'to justify his actions, and in the course of the discussion the following figures were published. Publishes Figures. While in the good old days of 1913 the average ration consumed by one person in one week was five pounds of dark bread and two and one-half, pourres of white bread, the average ration in 1920 is four oounds of darkest bread find a . little over one pound of light bread. The quality is so poor that the difference is bigger in reality. One pound and a half nf Wter a Week for one person was the prewar ration now one pound of margarine has taken its place.

ChlraguTTrthune-Oniaba llee.Iased Wire. New York. Dec, 26. That Christ- jl mas week, with the January "inve.-W,l ment period," just ahead, show ' have presented an almost unvarying i -list of declines of securities on -the' , exchange, and that an admittmlk disappointing holiday trade at 'Hie retail stores should have been follow ed promptly by announcements of heavy reduction in prices for gener al merchandise, might seem, on tlir face of things, to indicate a cheer less eliding to the year. Even United States bonds, which should normally be the focus of January reinvestments in a relaxing money market, had the experience last week of two or three days of very exceptional declines. Vet, on the other hand, the week's early and severe decline in stocks and bonds was' allowed by such evi dence ot good buying as served..iiot only to - cause abrupt recovery , in prices but to change Wall street's mood over night. As for the im pending cut in rail prices every ex perienced person will draw two. fa vorable inferences from that one, that if the "consumers' strike" is u be broken at all, it can only be done, through offering to retail purchas ers, the advantages of the wholesale price reductions; the other that if the wage readjustments and partial unemployment are not to become a dangerous social and political factor; they -must be accompanied by .au equivalent lowering of the cost oil living in food and clothing prices for next spring's trade, but in th price of goods purchased at the re tail store today. rXound Basis Needed.

The Influence of this change should later be seen in further recessions In reta:l prior? . yet fstlmates of consuming demand of public buying power.

Comparing with the importations .of No vember of last year, moreover, a decline of fully $100,000,000 appears. The dif ference between the exports and imporls last month are $354,000,000, whereas It' was u3.uuu,uuo in October. In November, 1919, the export excess was $318,000,000. ..

Con siderable business in domestic packer hide has developed of late with a lars shoe manufacturing and tanning Interest. 200,000 hides being absorbed lu the west and dry descriptions of foreign hides . have been more active. The transaction;-, however, have been mainly at further price declines. While the general leather lcmand remains moderate, trade has cop. tlnued to broaden slightly, and 'shoe pro ducers who have resumed operations,- or yhp are preparing to start up after the holidays, have been buyers. These slgi of betterment have prompted tho ballet that by the middle of January, at leasl. the situation will be more normal. A number of footwear manufacturers have booked sufficient spring orders to eoab! them to put their plants on a new rim early In the coming year, but retailers are concentrating their interest In holidnv requirements, and will probablv give t!ri, wholesale market little attention for -tT time being.
