A grouch Perhaps nts Th eattleSta Phene Main eter wn, $8.06, in the star Washington, for @ months, or $9.00 per year, Expansion of the Races When the statement is made that such peoples as the flindus, Japanese and Chinese must have room to expand, most minds are struck by it as a demand for justice in the distribution of the lands of the earth. But no error could be more plain, when it is once ex- amined. These nations’ home populations cannot possibly be thinned out by emigration. The shipping of the world, and no possible expansion of it, could thin these popula- tions out so as materially to reduce their congestion. Anyway, most of them could accommodate many mil- lions more by a proper land system, and proper internal improvements. Even Japan has not reached her limits By oe wevhat the Hindus want in Australia my ‘South Ae! what the Japanese want on our coast and in many coun- tries; what ee Chinese would be glad to have almost everywhere, is the right to migrate by the hundreds of thousands, or by the million, and start new centers for the multiplication of their respective races. The vacancies caused by such migrations would be filled at home at once by their enormous birth-rate, and the homeland Would be no better off. But the receiving land would be fuined, and a new, center for a new emigration created. Peoples as different from each other as Europeans and Asiatics cannot live together on terms of economic and 80- gial equality. Not that the one is superior necessarily to the other. They are simply different. The remedy for their congestion of population is, first * the utmost development of their homelands, and second, a reduction of their birth-rate. It cannot be solved by emi- tion. To look to that for a solution is to apply a Yemedy which will not work, and cannot be allowed to be tried on any large scale by the great nations of the Euro- and American world, if they have the forethought and power to prevent it. ched the conclusion that the tendency of Sir Thomas Malthus reached . and he worked tt out tion is always to outrun the food Ng ‘ te 2, 4, 16, or the geometrical ratio, and food supply tended to Northcliffe’s Death Hits Us, Too w controlling management must now step into Vis- gant Northeliffe’s. place at the head of the powerful Considering the preservation of sou!

She just naturally blotted him out for a whole six minutes. This eclipse is expected to renew the Einstein relativity faroye to gagging point. The sun went out on a track neross the Indian ocean and Australia. Prof. Einstein and his party of German spectacles squinted at it from the Maldive islands. English scientists—the fellows who first saw a star’s ray bending when the lights were doused were at famous Christmas island. Uncle Sam’s boss eclipse sharp, Prof. Campbell of Lick Observatory, took in the show on the deserted northwest coast of Australia. He had to float his instruments and lies ashore in casks, picking them up at low tide. ‘ou’ll probably hear some sort of news from these 4nternational observers soon, but a lot of higher arithme- tic, on measurements taken by intricate instruments, will have to be done before Einsteiners or anti-Einsteiners get much nourishment out of Sunday’s phenomenon. {The man who forgets himself usually gets shown who he te. Just Where Is This Normalcy?

It's pronounced—mat-ald, with ac- eent on the firat syllable. It means~-4 person of abnormal mind from birth, bordering on in sanity or degeneracy. It comes, probably from: the Ital. fan “matto.” meaning “mad,” tho also evidently related to the Latin “mattus, motus,” monning “drunk,” plus Hs terniination “old,” from the Greek, meaning “like, resembling.” It's used like this—"The ‘moron’ and the ‘mattold’ differ from one an- other in that the moron {ts an adult with a child's mind, while the line between the matoid and the genuine often is so doubtful that it puzzles alienists to decide on it,” 4 is a man who wants w | @ The autoist who stops to think usually thinks to stop. money for breach of promise.
