Professor Darwin is a son of the great Charles Darwin, and it is nat- ural that he should hold strong views on the survival of the fittest and how this’ best can be accomplished. He efforts of many sincere and earnest soclal re- formers really result in encouraging the continuance of race inferiority and deterloration, which is just the reverse of what they are trying to do. In a recent speech before the Eugenic Edu- cation soclety, of which he is presi- dent, he dwelt upon the harm he thought soclal reformers weére doing. “Mate BSelection” was the title of Professor Darwin's address. He was not sure that mate selection, in the present state of soclety, was good for the future of the race, and argued that when the fit married the fit they tended to have smaller families, while the inferior people continued produc- ing unfit types which becanfée more marked. * “To secure human progress,” he said, “the inferlor types must be eliminated, and all that should be demanded is that this process be made as little painful as possible.” Pity for otheré and solicitude for #heir liberty the speaker regarded as among/ the things that constituted obstacles in the way of racial improvement. “The philanthropists of today, how- ever, Professor Darwin sald ‘only look on one side of the question, and entirély ignore the racial effects of the reforms they are advocating.” Both out-of-work doles to those constitutionally incapable of work, and out-door relief generally, if given without regard to the probability of parenthood in the future, would di- rectly tend to promote the inferiority of the race in the future. Motherhood endowment to the na- turally superior and unfit alike, these and other methods of relieving dis- tress, would have the same result, he contended. Altogether, as viewed by Professor Darwin, there seemed to be a pretty blué outlook for the world genrally, and even enlightened eugenists ap- yeared to be able to find little comfort in his views. But Professor Darwin said his ob- jection to mate selection would dis- appear if “by some method less cruel than that of natural selection the in- ferlor stocks could be made to muiti. ply less quickly than the superior.” e — HARTFORD Tailored Suit Clearance Tailored suits to the fore.

The increase of 160,000 in popula- tion for 1920, small as it was, aroused the hope of the government and t publie, for it was generally belleved that the rush of wartired soldiers and women anxious to marry and estab- lish homes, was the turning point. They have been disappointed. The net excess of births over deaths the tollowing year was only 9000 and the results of last year, still being tabulat- ed, are rather dreaded by soclologists and economists. President Millerand not long ago spoke of the birth rate qusstion as “that of life itself for France.” His efforts, he said, were devoted to fur- thering the creation of homes and The rearing of children. France's plight in a world of war is likened to that of the little boy who grows slowly while all his compan- fons develop llke weeds. In the 16th century France had half the popula- tion of Furope; at the end of the 18th she had only one fourth, and today she has little more than one-tenth. Since 1871 deaths have exceeded births, and only immigration has saved the race from rapid extinction by a loss that frequently was a quar- ter of a million a year, Whatever the reasons for the half century of decreasing birthrate, the present shortage of living quarters, the vicissitudes of life, and the lower- ed moral standards are blamed today by students for the condition that per- sists in spite of a really national cam- paign for more children. ENGLAND WON'T KEEP ART House of Commons Will Not Act to Keep Famous Pictures London, Aug. 3.—It is not intended to take any legislative measures to keep works of art, famous books and pictures in this country, 8ir W. Joyn- son Hicks, financial secretary to the treasury, told a questtoner in the house of commons recently. The questioner referred to meas- ures he thought should be introduced whereby such treasures, which might otherwise be sold to America, might come instead.to national or municipal collections at a fair valuation. The secretary said the question had been considered by the trustees of the na- tional gallery, who advised the gov- ernment against any such legislation.

ELIMINATION 0F RADIO HANDICAP Jamniing and Interference May Be Entirely Cnt Out London, Aug. 3. — An instrument which, it is claimed, marks the most important advance in wireless tele- graphy yét made, is described by its inventof, a Frenchman named Yves fle | Marrec, as eliminating jamming and interference and reducing the cost of wireless me#sages by at least one- third. The new device receives and prints wireless mesages on a tape, something which, it s claimed, has never before been accomplished. M. Marrec employs a supplementary apparatus consisting of a series of low frequency valves, which elimin- ates all obtruding sounds one by one, with the result that the message for which the machine is “tuned in" comes out as clearly as though there were only one operating station in the world. Besldes suppressing ‘parasi- tic” noises, the apparatus complétely eliminates every interfering message sent out from other transmitting sta- tions. In an officlal test for the British government recently, the French in- ventor sumitted his machine to the most severe conditions. He recelved messages from the powerful station near Port Jefferson, Long Island, free of all interference or jamming. He chose for the test an ordinary office in one of the noslest parts of London, with electric trains and motor traffic runing all around and under (it Moreover he had no outside aerial. The “purified” messages were receiv- ed so distinctly that the sounds could be heard several yards from the earpleces. In messages from the United States, M. Marrec explained, each letter has now to be repeated three times and each word twice, after which they still require to be deciphered by a keen expert. Under the new system, according to the inventor, a message need be sent only once, and it is recorded in ink on paper. Transmit- ting stations of immense power and great cost, such as the American and British governments porpose erecting, could be replaced, he said, by a series of lower power stations transmitting automatically. UNIONS LOSING MEMBERS London, Aug. 8.—Trade untons in England have lost 315,603 members during the last year. This decrease is sald to have resulted from the ab- sorption by the government of some of the functions at one time perform- ed by the unions. The funds of the unions have fallen from £254,266 to £94,396 and the an- nual revenue from £85,450 to £64,883. x & Jompany Telephone Orders Taken As Early As 8 A.
