London. The last week having
brought some fresh contributions
to the recurrent lamentation by
public men on the decline of the
birth rate in the United Kingdom,
a writer in the Standard discusses
the question from the opposite
viewpoint, basing his remarks on
the latest statistics of births and
deaths. Assuming that these are
correct and that the present emi
gration will increase pro rate' he
shows that the population seventy
years hence will be double, making
the number 83,000,000, which it
will be impossible for the British
isles to '-support unless there are
some changes in the conditions
of life.
But allowing for the possibility
of the country being able to
support this number, and estimat
ing that the population will be
doubled every seventy years, the
writer pictures a time no further
forward than the Norman Conquest
is backward say the year 2901,
when there will be 6,924,000 peo
ple to the square mile in England,
which would give each individual
about half a square yard of space.
To house and accommodate these
suitably every inch of dry ground
in the country would have to be
covered with sixteen -.story sky
scrapers, leaving no space for
streets, parks, shops, theaters or
anything but dwellings.
Assuming that the emigration to
the un-occupied lauds of the world
will vastly increase, the writer
supposes that the emigrants will
produce progeny at an equal rate,
while other nations of theworld are
also increasing in population.
Quoting the calculation of an
eminent statistician, the late Sir
Robert Giffen, that peoples of
European origin increased from
170,000,000 at the beginning of
the ninetieth century to 510,000
000 at its end, and reckoning that
the world's population doubles
every seventy-five years
monstrates the impossibility of
maintaining t.he present rate ol
multiplication, and contends that
the sooner the birthrate declines to
one-third of what.it is at present
the better for our descendants.
Indeed, he says, the time is not
far distant when the rate must not
exceed one birth to every 200
marriages or all the people must
die before they leach twenty years
or must destroy one tinother '

Des Moines, Iowa. Mrs. Martha
Beebe, aged 6S, gave up the pros
peer or a comtortable uome, a
dower right in a $50,000 estate ana
faced povert3' 2,200 miles from
home and friends all because the
appearance of the man she was
pledged to marry as the result of a
correspondence courtship did not
suit her
Her story became known when
she applied to the Humane Society
for transportation to Los Angeles,
making no apology for the fact
that her vanity at almost three
score and ten years had left her
homeless.
"I stayed with him six weeks,"
said Mrs. Beebe, "and that was
enough for me. He uses too much
tobacco, and it shows on his shirt.
He is a good man, but I am afraid
that I made a mistake. I asked him
for money to go back, and he in
sisted that I'marry. I have decided
to return and leave him alone. You
see he does not suit exactly."
' Mrs. Beebe learned of her one
time sweetheart "through his
grown-up children living near Los
Angeles. A correspondence was
started which led to her coming to
Des Moines
Craig met her at the train with
his carriage and -took her to his
farm, three miles nortnwest of the
citv. Here she ktpt house for him.
"He wanted to marry right away.
but I thought I had better wait un
til I got acquainted with him. Now
he de-, that I know him I will nevei mar
ry him," she said.
Mrs. Beebe says that Craig has a
fortune of at least $50,000 and that
he has a married daughter in West
Des Moine.i.jvbo is a member of a
prominent family. She wore tlie
traveling suit she brought with her
two, months ngo and thinks Craig
should have provided for her re
turn because she cared for him
these two rhor.ths and he was ill all
of the time.
