WEEKS APPROVES
RECORD REWARDS
ID GLOBE FLIERS
President To Act On Gen
erous Promotion Sug
v gestion Soon
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—Secretary
Weeks approved today a plan for re
ward of the army world fliers Which
would advance Capt. Lowell H. Smith
1,000 files on the promotion list, and
Lieutenants Wade, Nelson and Arnold
500 files each.
The advancement proposed for Cap
tain Smith would equal approximately
13 years of service in the line of cap
tains and would place him among offi
cers of that grade whose names appear
on the promotion list for majorities.
The advancement in files given three
lieutenants approximates four years
service and places their names high on
the list of first lieutenants.
Hxplains Proposal
Secretary Weeks explained today that
the advancements proposed for the offi
cers and for Ogden and Harding would
be the greatest ever given in peace time,
and would be compared to the promotion
given General Pershing i.i time of war.
In addition the regular retirement
provisions of the army could be set
aside in the case of the six men. and
they could be retired on their own re
quest at any time with the rank and
pay allowance of the next higher grade
than that held at the time.
Sergeants Henry Ogden and John
Harding, who hold reserve corps com
missions as second lieutenants, would
be appointed officers in the regular
army in their reserve corps grades.
To Award Medals
All members of the flight squadron
will receive distinguish .1 service medals
and would be permitted to accept deco
rations offered by foreign governments.
The plan was drawn up at the war
department at the request of President
Coolidge, to whom it was submitted
today bv the war secretary. If it re
ceived the President's approval it will
be transmitted to congress which alone
has authority to confer the privileges
recommended.
GREEN SCOUTS NEED
OF SPECIAL SESSION
Treasury Surplus To Be Large,
Says Chairman
WASHINGTON’. Dec. 20—A special
session of congress is not necessary for
the enactment of revenue legislation.
Chairman Green of the house wavs and
means committee declared today in a
statement.
“Our treasury surplus for the fiscal
year,” he said, "will he comparatively
small but for the following year it
probably will be large enough so that
the income tax can an ' will be reduced
along the lines proposed by Secretary
Mellon and this reduction can be made
at the next session if rigiil economy
prevails in our national expenses as it
should.”
Shrould revenues for the present
fiscal year be larger than aiticipated,
he asserted, another rebate could be
made.
The gift tax may need “some amend
ments,” he udded, "but it already has
demonstrated its usefulness, and either
the income or inheritance taxes are to
be imposed with any reasonable degree
of fairness the gift tax must be re
tained.”
Chairman Green said the income tax
would never be on a sound basis “as
long as we permit tax exempt securities
to be issued, but a substantial reduc
tion in the maximum surtax would
mitigate the unfair results rising from
their existence.”

Coal Miners Most Prolific
Federal Survey Discloses
Dentists And Doctors Lag In Number of
* Offspring
(By THOMAS L,. STOKES)
(leased Wire to Age-Herald)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—The pop
ular wheeze about the rich getting
richer and the poor getting children de
scries the situation in the United
States today, with the necessary ex
ceptions to prove the rule laid down
by a weir-known song-writer.
Coal miners have the most children,
with other industrial workers and those
who work with their hands and out
doors, including farmers, ranking close
behind. Bootblacks, for instances, have
the largest families next to coal miners,
while the bankers whose shoes they
shine have just half as many chidren,
on the average.
Profesional Class Exception
The outstanding exception to the
maxim is found among the professional
classes, which include persons who have
few children and less money.
As a class, they have the fewest chil
dren, averaging two and three.
These deductions are from a bundle
of statistics gathered by the department
of commerce, covering “completed” fam
ilies. The record covers famiies hav
ing chidren during the last year in
which the father is between the ngi
of 40 and 49, and gives the number
of children during the entire married
life.
There were 107.209 children born to
fathers between the ages of 40 and 44
years of age last year, and 06,704 to
those between 45 and 49.
The figures show a great number of
so-called “old age” children, those born
aftet the father is past 45.
in the first class, between 40 and
44, the highest average number of chil
dren in n family, seven, is for coal

man, was finally brought to police
headquarters and after a period of utter
silence, talked freely, explaining Mrs.
.Mors’ death as suicide, which he had
vainly struggled to prevent.
McCoy's trial on fpur counts of rob
bery and three of assault with intent
to murder, all growing out of the shoot
ing orgy in the Mors antique shop the
morning i.fter Mrs. Mors was killed, is
set down on Judge Crail’s calendar for
January 5, next, and the district attor-,
ne.v's office announced that the state
would proceed against the former
fighter without delr ■.
Inasmuch as the penalty for first de
gree robbery by which the offender
uses a deadly weapon was from one year
to life imprisonment and that for a
dendly weapon, and four years for con
viction in the forthcoming trial may
prove more serious for McCoy than to
day's conviction, particualrly if he
should be convicted and sentenced to
serve consexutive terms.

NEW LAMP HAS NO
WICK OR CHIMNEY
Most Brilliant Home Light
Known—Cost One Cent a Night
A new lamp which has no wick or
chimney, yet, according to experts,
gives the most powerful home light in
the world, is the latest achievement of
W. C. Fowler, 680 Factory building,
Kansas City, Mo. This remarkable new
lamp beats gas or electricity—gives
more light than 300 candles, 18 ordi
nary lamps or 10 brilliant electric
lights, and costs only one cent a night.
A blessing to every home, especially on
'arm or in small town. It is absolutely
safe, and gives universal satisfaction.
No dirt, no smoke, no odor. A child
can carry it. It is the ambition of Mr.
Fowler to have every home, store, hall
or church enjoy the increased comfort
of this powerful, pleasing, brilliant
while light, and he will send one of his
new lamps on free trial to any reader
of The Age-Herald who writes him. He
wants one person to whom.he can refer
new customers. Take advantage of his
free offer. Agents wanted. Write him
today.—Adv.

is for coal mine operatives, and the
lowest 3, for dentists, physicians, and
surgeons.
Farmers had the greatest number of
children last year. The average number
is 6.2 to 7.
manual labor have the greatest number
of children at an adanced age, the
records show, although an exception
here is found among jewelers, watch
makers, goldsmiths, and silversmiths.
Better Safeguarded
While the professional classes have
the fewest number of children, their
children are better safeguarded, it is
shown in the records. A greater number
of such children are living than those
of other classes. The greatest mortality
is shown in the children of steno
graphers, typists, messengers and bundle
and office boys.
The tradition which has come down
since the days of Jonathan Edwards,
a minister himself, and one of a min
ister’s eleven children, that the preach
er has the most children is exploded
by government records. The average
number of children in a minister's
family in these days is between four
and five.

that Mr. Hearst's newspaper had at
tempted to make it appear that Senator
Underwood, in insisting on the passage
of his bill, was not unmindful of the
fact that his brother Was an official of
the Birmingham Electric company. Un
der the sub-head "Under Same Control”
The dispatch concludes: “The Bir
mingham Electric company controls th*
electric power of Birmingham. The
power company buys from the Alabama
Power company. The two corporations
are distince enterprises, the only link
between the two being the holdings of
the Electric Bond and Share company.
Both are controlled by the General Elec
tric company of New York.”
Almon Satisfied
Representative E. B. Almon, return
ing today from his district, in which
Muscle Shoals is located, declared the
people of his district are satisfied with
the provisions of the Underwood bill,
and hopeful that a congestion in the
senate would not make its passage
impossible.
Asked if the people generally were
satisfied with the provisions of the bill
Judge Almon says: “Yes, indeed. It
provides for the same amount of fertil
izer, to be produced either by a private
corporation or the government, as was
provided for in the Ford offer.
“If that did not satisfy them, they
would be very hard to please.”
Senator Underwood, on account cf
continued illness, did not attend the
senate session today.
Over the telephone tonight, however,
he declared himself in no danger, al
though "very uncomfortable.” He stated
that he would not go to the eapitol
| until after January 1. There is a gen
tlemen’s agreement prohibiting actual
voting during the holidays on any
amendment or the bill itself.
BRUCE SCORES DEMOCRATS
Maryland Senator's Charges Refuted By
Pat Harrison Of Mississippi
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—Two
democratic senators, wrangling over
their party's defeat in the recent elec
tion, entertained republicans and gal
lery visitors in the senate Monday,
when they got off the subject of party
and began discussing the personal and
political characteristics of each other.
Senator Bruce of Maryland ignited
the southern ire of Senator Harrison,
of Mississippi, by declaring that the
Democratic party had lost the “confi
dence" of the American people. He had
prefaced this by a remark that the party
in the elections had attempted to “strad
dle horses going in diametrically oppo
site directions.”
“The wise thing for us to recognize
at the present time is that we did lose
the confidence of the people,” Bruce de
clared. “For then we will set out to
regain it and I believe we will re
gain it.”
Attacks Bruce
Harrison,-bristling up, answered that
he “would take no cognizance of a
charge that the Democratic party had
lost the confidence of the people” when
it came from a senator “who can hardly
call himself a democrat.”
“Any one who makes such a charge
must be one who has a record of serv
ice to the Democratic party,” the Missis
sippi senator said, pointing out that
Bruce had voted against a democrat as
chairman of the interstate commerce
committee, had voted against the demo
cratic tax bill, and had opposed his
party upon all important issues.
The Maryland senator then accused
Harrison of inconsistencies, citing the
Mississippi senator's opposition to the
child labor amendment and his change
of position on the tax publicity section
of the revenue law. Harrison who
voted for the section, recently announced
that he now favored its repeal.
RECORD SUPPLY
OF COTTON SEEN
WASHINGTON, Dee. 29—The
world cotton supply this year is prob
ably the largest in nine years, totalling
approximately 23,900,000 bales of 479
pounds each, estimates received by the
department of agriculture show The
estimates are from countries which pro
duce about 95 per cent of the world
crop and which last year produced 19,
300,000 bales. The five year average
for the pre-war period was 23,580,000.
The American supply, based on of
ficial preduction figures and trade esti
mates of carry-over cotton, is placed at
10,000,000 bales.
Consumption in the United States for
the four months ending November 30
was 1,818,000 running bales of lint
cotton, compared with 2,054,000 for the
same period in 1923. The decrease,
however, is more than offset, the de
partment said, by increased exports.
CHILD IS BORN
WITH TWO TEETH
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 29—The
stork which brought Betty Jane to
the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Stock
provided the child with two fully formed
teeth. Physicians said the case was
so unusual that they were not able

HUGE POPULATION
SEEN AS MENACE
10 LIVING COSTS
Nation Soon Will Have
250,000,000 People, Says
Professor Wolfe
CHICAGO, Dec. 29.—Persons living
will see a population of 250,000,000
in the United States if the present rate
of increase keeps up, according to Prof.
A. R. Wolfe of Ohio State university,
speaking here today before the Amer
ican Statistical association. But it
will not keep up, in the professor's
opinion. lie is fairly certain the wom
en themselves, the potential mothers of
the future, will take measures to pre
vent it.
“Unless increase is quickly and
greatly retarded, reaching the satura
(tion point is' a matter of only a few
generations at mbst, not thousands of
years as popularly supposed," Professor
Wolfe said. “In the absence of an
improbable revolutionary improvement
in agriculture, we shall be pointedly
confronted with the choice of reducing
ejthor our birth rate or our standard
of living. A very essential part of the
population problem is to get the people
to set that they are confronted with
a condition, not a theory.
Problem To Get Worse
“Even if it could be demonstration
that this country could support 500,
000,000 people by eliminating waste
and giving up meat, the standard of
living would continue to fall and the
problem of numbers continually get
worse. The only happy people would
be the sword-rattling generals. Many
of us today are victims of our un
thinking American worship of size and
growth, without injuiry into the hu
man values involved."
Professor Wolfe scores the optimists
who believe that progress can work
miracles. "They rely on migration nnd
invention. They see vast empty spaces.
The state of Texas especially appeals
to their imguinution. Most of them have
never been there.
“What are the firsts ?
“Only inferior limits, limited in ex
tent. remain for settlement. Progress
Itself involves a paradox. It is incon
ceivable that technical advance can
maintain the pace it set in what Wal
lace called “the wonderful century,’
nnd which Keynes thinks may prove to
have been ‘a magnificent episode.’ In
the main, future improvements’ are to
be looked ■ for in the fourth decimal
lace. There is a limit to the degree
to which cheapened manufactures can
offset increasing costs in extracting raw
materials from nrture’s resources which
are being exhausted with whirlwind
rapidity.”
Igtuds Birth Control
Taking up the opposition to brith
control, Professor Wolfe declared: “It
is a fault of population theory that
it is man-made. Such attitudes never
Count the vital costs of a high birth
rate—the costs to the women of the
race. The very essence of economy is
to balance real costs against real in
come. A valid population theory must
take necount of the way in which half
the race, hitherto practically ignored,
will calculate the costs—as against the
satisfactions—of large families.”
