HA, Staff Spee ial) NewTaven, Conn., Jan, 31—If science keeps the present progress, within a comparatively short time the average human life will be 2,000 years. So states Dr. Kugene Lyman Fisk in an article on The Pro- Jongation of Truman Life” in the Yale Rieview. “Dr. Fisk is an eminent biologist and the director of the Life Extension Tnsti- tute. \ \ When we're all living (6 be 2000 sears of age, according to Dr. Fisk, serious problems will arise concerning the surplus population, He suggests these soliitions : “Controlling the birthrate by determining sex. “Selective “euthanasia” or putting people to death by lot! Conyeying selected persons in projectiles to other planets. Otherwise there will be no standing room on earth, Then, too, Dr. Fisk points out another danger long: pre- dicted by scientists—that the female of the species as the more vigorous and the more frequent may survive to the elimination of the male and bring about a manless age! But, says Dr. Fisk, science will transform persons born females into males until a sex equalization has been ‘reached, or, if the demand is for males, females will be coiverted into males. a E A “Tt is quite possiple that the struggle for the materials for the prolongation of life would supply the basis for wars of exter- mination,” s Dr. Fisk. “Such wars might operate to keep down the p Spulation, otherwise the population would continue to increase even if the birthryte were far less than at present. We should then be confronted by the choicé of either race suicide or ‘selective | euthanasia.’ 1 “Unless we practically abolished the birthrate, we would be under the necessity of scientific regulation of the deathrate, and it would then be ‘up to’ a jury to decide as to those who were fo live and those who were subjects for euthanasia. 2 “There would, of course, be a wide scope here for human fecling and prejudice. Tf the “drys” were in toner they could not be expected to render a wholly impartial verdict as 1D the fitness of certain ‘wets’ to live, and the converse would apply if the ‘wets’ were in Dow: er, | “By that time, of Course, communication with other planets might be carried to tite point of relievipg the world_of surplus | December «were 62 population by means of prc ojectiles directed to some more (or Jess) favorably situated planet. “Tt may be asked: Could a man retain any illusions after 2000 years of existence? Would woman still be an enigma? “As to the latter query, it could be answered that in so ad- vanced a social state woman might not have any further bio- logical value, in which case she would be citherg sclected for euthanasia or deported to some other corner of the universe to bewilder and to charm... f \ “It may be added that not.only the physical but the ten- peramental; and emotional, characteristics of sex, which we are disposed ta Laccept as indices of Tixed personality, are iv fact means. “Assuming that science is not checked in its researches, I r tO predict that in the course of 500 years the human race will present, physical changes that will render Jiman society-entively uit able to these of the present era. “But dissipation of energy and geologic change in the dis- tant future will finally abolish all life on the earth.” PRICE SLUMPS FEATURE ‘ IN MONTHS NEWS and in sales, both as compared with a month ago and a year ago, Grain Movement, (Continued from Page One) duction in-December was about 81 per cent of a year ago. ‘bpper pro- duction jn December was practically unchanged 2s compared“V:ith Novem- der. ‘Linseed ojl and 2, in the manufacture of which Minneapolis predominates, declined in e22mber to three-fourths of the November vol- ume @s ineasured by shipments. ‘The volume of. retail trade in. December as measured in dollars and cents was practically the same as in Ndvember. However, the retail stocks on hand were less than a month ago and less. than a year ago, so that an increase of turnover has been énjoya Busi- ness failures, which are an iudex to past ‘business conditions, were much the same in Decembet as in Novemn- ber. The -record-break' totals for ‘the amoynt of liabilities ¢ontinued and enormous increases ove: a yeor ago were evidenced; in) Dezember there were 44 failures with liabililies totaling $1,150,260, Tt is rather carly to~estimate the outcome of the win- ter crops and the reports now avail- able are fragmentary. However, these earliest reports indicate that the acreage seeded to rye in Dakota, Minnesota and Montans bined is less than 78 per cent of 2 year ago, and that the ‘acreage seeded’ to winter wheat in Montana and Min- nesota combined is less than 71 per cent of a year ago, according, to re- ports from state representatives of the federal department of agriculture In building, grain movement and Hve- stock receipts there were Temarkahle declines Building and Lumber. Building operations, when meas- ured iby the number of permits ‘in December, declined. to about two- thirds of the November volume. T! was a noticeable increase in the valu: | ation, however, jn ‘the case of the cities of Duluth and Superior, Of. the December permits only 46 per cent was for new construction, whereas the d¥erage for -the preceding six months was 85 per cent in this dis- trict. When comparison is.made with a year ago”on the basis of the valu tion of the permits, a ~decline shown to 33 per cent, The declines were particularily startling’in the case of ‘St. Paul and Great ‘Falls, witch re- ported declines to 9 and 8 per cent, respectively, of the volume ago. The valwation of ‘Minneapolis permits was on 36 per cent of a year ago. Theprices of building ma- teri2ls continue in an unbalanced con- dition.

Lumber manufacturers that December receipts were about if year |’ From the tfme of harvest until De- cember 20 there was an increase in the movement of grain as compared with a yeay-ago. Therefore a decided slump te place in, the Minneapolis receipts. “ Minneapolis receipts of all grains during December totaled. near- ly 18,0€0,000 . bushels, as compared with nearly 21,000,000 bushels in No- vember of this year and as compared with nearly 20,000,000 bushels in De- cember a year ago. “When the total grain movement through Minneapolis ang Duluth is combined, it appears three-fourths of those in November | two-thirds. and about 11 per cent larger than DR.EUGENP, #2 LYMAN FISK SAyY#!

As com- pared with a month ago, the stocks of corn exhidit a phenomenal inerease, a year ago. and the stocks of rye a decrease ot 25 per cent, .

Livestock, Receipts in Decemter for all kinds of livestock in: South St. Paul stock- yards were about one-half of those: in November. As compared with, a year ago the total December receipts of all livestock were less than three- fourths and shipments were less than Cattle feceipts were less than one-half of the movement in ‘December a year ago. The lower prices which have prevailed through- out the month were due primarily td a great reduction in demand’ for for- eign exports, although the demand for beef to be placed in freezers substan- tially declined. In addition, stock- raisers were inclined to get rid\ of cattle which were in passably good ‘beef conditionbecause of an appre- hension that market prices would con- tinue to decline, as is evident from the fact that. many of the notes se- cured by cattle have been paN ibe- fore maturity dates. movement has not brought about a material reduction ‘in the weight of livestock received at-South St. Paul, as the average weight for cattle was greater in 1920 than -in) 1910, and larger than the ten-year averaze.
