That problem is, bluntly, the birth rate. Modern sani- fation has reduced the Japanese death rate to almost an secidental standard, while the birth rate remains nearly oriental. , Phe result is a rapidly increasing population, which seeks outlet. The tremendous birth rate of China is still balanced by an equally huge death rate, but the Rockefeller Founda- tion, medical missionaries and the spread of enlightenment will have changed that in another generation. Then.the teeming millions of China will seem to be facing the choice of starvation or emigration. The trouble is that emigration will not solve the prob- lem. It may for the individual who emigrates, but not for the nation. So long as the present birth rate continues, China would still have just as many people, no matter how) many emigrated. An equal number at home, who otherwise would have died, would live. Either these races will overspread the earth, to the elimination of the less fecund, or they must Jearn to live at home. And they can live there only by re- ducing the birth rate. That means, unfortunately, reversing ull their traditional ideals. For Japan, fortunate’ there is the other alternative. Japan can expand vertically, instead of horizontally, by in- alustrializing itself, as England and Belgium have done. But ‘ China there is only one choice — fewer births or more o TUT’S TOMB — KEEP OUT King Tut’s tomb is to be opened again, and the work is} -to go on—this time, let us hope, in peace. And let this appeal be made, to American tourists, who make up, after all, the bulk of the visitors to Egypt. Don’t pian to get into the tomb; don’t ask to get in; don’t use pull to get in; and frown on every effort, by anybody, to try to see the inside of that tomb until the work is done. A quarrel ‘over visitors’ privileges was what stopped the work before. :. ‘There should no be such privileges to anybody—and “thi: > means you.” 1 = The working season in Egypt is short enough, at best. = “Unfortunately, it coincides exactly with the tourist season. ‘During that brief time there is only one thing to do with that tomb, and that is to let the workers in it work. No & work can be done in it while there are visitors, and even a few visitors’ days may postpone important work a year, or = even risk making it impossible forever. There are plenty of other things to see in Egypt, even it those whose educa- tion is confined to the headlines do not know it. King Tut's tomb, just as a tomb, is nothing remarkable. There are == many better ones in the neighborhood. Its unique value i in the things in it—probably the greatest “find” in the h tory of archaeology. But these things can be best seen after they aré in the museum, where some of them already are. The less the workers are pestered with visitors, or applicants _to visit, the sooner the treasures of the tomb will be visible. 3 So keep out of King Tut’s tomb. Don’t even ask to get in, BIG TASK TO TEST DRIVERS Mental and physieal tests for cetificates to drive auto- mobiles are in their annual agitation. Decidedly, they are sneeded. There are persons driving cars now who are half blind, or deaf or crippled. .These are the easy cases. There are those who will not keep sober. And that means for auto- mobile safety, dead sober, and not merely “not drunk,” And “there are those whose mental, emotional or physical reach. tions are too slow or uncertain. Tests for all these disab’ “ties exist. And, if it were a matter of engineers or motor- men, they would be applied. For a few hundreds, or thou- sands, it is easy. ? But with automobiles, it means millions. Where are the Scompetent experts or equipment to do it on such a scale? -They simply do not exist. This automobile has swamped ‘Our scientific faculties, quite as certainly as it has jammed sour highways. HYSTERIA OR BUNCOMBE? We of cold northern blood find it difficult to realize the : tumultuousness with which perfectly sane people of the more “effervescent nationalities can conduct both legislative and : sjudicial-proceedings. A French criminal trial, in which the - “judge prosecutes and cross-examines, the witnesses argue the #ease, the lawyers testify, and the prisoner harangues the “audience, strikes us as simply crazy. And yet, the proceed- ing is less artificial, and at least as likely to do justice as “our own. And, in the legislative halls, there is small choice between French hysteria and American buncombe. A few sensible people, behind the scenes, really run things, in both countries. ee» CONGRESS NOT ALONE UNDIGNIFIED Other lands; other manners. We think our congress is Sometimes undignified enough, and our state legislatures swore. But read the accounts of a suspended session of the f ‘French chamber of deputies, when conservative deputies #worked the flying wedge on the official ushers, in an attempt M “to assault the taunting communists, ‘(La Chambre en lire’ —-the chamber in delirium —by R. de Villeneuve- ans, was one of the campaign books of tlie last French election.

ASK CABARETS BAN CHILDREN .- -FROM DANCING « Minot, N. D., Jan. 22.—Restaurants and cabarets in Minot where free dancing is made available for their patrons are to be asked to each pro- vide a special policeman to supervise the affairs, with the object in mind lof enforcing more strictly the ordi- nance prohibiting school children from attending public dances, unless accompanied by a parent, This action was decided upon fol- lowing a conference recently of the board of education members with the board of city commissioners, during which time the public dance hall and cabaret situations were aired at considerable length, and means of more strict adherence to the ordi- ance were considered. Either Boys or Girls Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell, police matron, whorattended the conference, informed the two boards that. when she recently appearéd before a ses- ion of the board of education, that latest ordinance pertaining to danc- ing in Minot, but rather had in her possession an.old ordinanee which prohibited schoolgirls from dancing, but made no-mention of schoolboy: The later ordinatice in part is: “It shall be unlawful for a dance halk proprietor to permit school pup- ils of ‘any age, and all unmarried persons under 18 years of age, to at- mngeaey. public dance conducted by. pounless parent or parents. vu FELLER'S LD TNS 1S TH LAS TRIP ILL TAKE TO LETTER FROM ZOE ELLINGTON TO ELIZABETH SWARTZ, GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, CONTINUED The people with whom I live, my dear Elizabeth, are most interesting.

The other one is the’ Mrs. Prescott with whom I live. She is married to a wonderful man—big, handsome, jovial; gay, typical American man of business. I say this with perfect confidence because his wife's father, Mr. ilton, when he died left all h s fortune in Mr. Prescott’s hands, a well as the management of his great steel industry. Mrs. Prescott has the saddest eyes I have ever seen in human face ex- th cept those of Sophia, whom we that time, dur- ing the war, at Lucerne. I know that Mrs, Prescott has just passed through great sorrow in the death of her father and sister, but even that could not give to her deep dark eyes that look of lost hope and utter dejections I see in them when she thinks she is not observed. Iam sure there is some misunder- standing between Mr. and Mrs. Pres- cott, for Mr. Prescott has ndt been down here since we all came.

AND‘ KGeP Fe | FROM, THE UNOFFICIAL OBSERVER By Chester H. Rowell Hats off to Colonel James A. Logan, officially American “unofficial” observer with the Reparations Commission, and unofficially unofficial “fixer” of almost everything else. In fact, Colonel Logan is about the most unofficially offi- cial, or official unofficial person at large. * It is a matter of routine for him to open every meeting with a speech explaining how unofficial he is. Then his strictly personal opinions (transmitted, also unofficially, by cable from Washington) straighten out the affairs of ythe nations.

He is an alum- nus of the sidewalks of New York, and of the contacts of men. He claims never to read books. New York, Jan, 22—Saw four youths with their socks hanging down over their shoes. Upon in- quiry I learned that that is the new “collegiate” style. Following the ex- ample of girls in the elimination of all clothing not ‘absolutely necessary. the young fellows have quit wearing garters. I'll continue to wear mine. My father was the only man I ever knew who could keep up his socks without supporters. It takes Morris Gest to put over these “arty” shows from Europe. Every imported show of the past few years, except, those handled hy him and “Chariot’s Revue,” has flopped. Other Broadway producers have brought over shows with the leading artists of Europe in the casts but have failed. I believe the secret of Gest's success with the foreign “arty” shows is that he makes his opening night a gala society affair, inviting most of the “400.” The public, sheep-like, follows. The other night a private perform- tance of the new “Chauve Souris was given for the benefit of the Neurological Hospital.

It is not enough as good as men. We demand We are reconciled to seeing all sorts of men in high place, but we will tolerate only one sort of woman. To the credit of feminism, we are getting just that sort. “What are your favorite books?” a “Sunday Sup” sob sister is alleged to have asked him. “Books? I never read but ofe—the life of John L.
