THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE AND PRESS MONDAY, JANUARY 3rd, 19;0
OUR BIRTH RATE I$ NORMAL
Census Bureau Statistics Show That
Births Exceed Deaths by About
® One-Third.
The census bureau, on the strength
of registered returns, gives figures to
show that the birth rate in the United
States exceeds the death rate by one
third, which is a gratifying fact. We
are not one of the nations that need
be anxious on this vital point as far
as present conditions are concerned.
One of the most serious troubles in
France is the warning in its censuses
that in some years more of its inhab
itants die than are born. sume of
its neighbors grow much faster in
population. This disparity was some
- what ‘noticed in the past, yet without
fully realizing the terrible menace in
volved. The desolated towns and
farms of France are a monument to
the old census admonitions and the
awful sacrifice of young French man
- hood is far mare dreadful than the
,‘,dé'i'asluti(m. Oftenn have the public
"men of France sounded an alarm on
the defective birth rate. It is much
discussed now by thoughtful French
legislators and writers. A census al
ways demands intelligent study.
The United States grows by immi
gration as well as births, and our
school system tends to Americanize
the whole body of citizens. Our
schools are a great melting pot for
Americans of the future and to in
erease their proportionate number.
The welfare of children is a great
national issue. The birth rate and
death rate need continuous attention.
e
ALL WANT TO LIVE IN PARIS
So Many Foreigners Are There That
the Frenchman Is Being
. Crowded.
The New York Evening Post’s Paris
correspondent says that in an article
in Excelsior a French writer gontends
that while Paris before the war was
the meeting place of all nationalities,
it has now become their permanent
abode, so that the Parisians are crowd
ed out into the suburbs or unable to
find an apartment in the clty.
The writer says that if you take a
census of the average apartment you
will find that it contains “Belgians
who left when the Germans came,
Russians driven out by bolshevism,
French families from the devastated
regions who seem to like it where they
are. American students with their
omnipotent dollars, Englishmen trying
to do business and representatives of
the Balkan states, Poland, Turkey and
other distressed and unsettled regions
who are living on the Lord only knows
what. Paris is proud of her cosmo
politanism, but is finding it inconveni
~ent when the peoples of the world
show so little inclination to move.”
Cardinal’s Hat Symbol of Office.
The peculiarity of the cardinal’s hat
is that it is not to be worn. On one
occasion only is it to be seen on the
head of the cardinal, and that is when
the pope himself places it there as a
symbel of its owner’s elevation to the
Sacred college. When the cardinal dies
it is placed in his coffin. The hat is
of a deeper red than that of the robe
worn by the cardinal. It has long
heavy silken cords, each with 15 tas
sels at the end, hanging on either side.
The crimson rohes which, like the hat,
denote the cardinal’s office, are made
of cloth which for several generations
past has been supplied by a firm of
cloth merchants at Burtscheid, near
Aix-la-Chapelle. The process by which
the dye is distilled is a jealously
guarded secret.
Trade With Australia Grows.
Trading between this country and
Australia is showing a healthy growth,
according to figures supplied to the de
partment of commerce by A. W. Fer
rin, trade commissioner, who is at Mel
bourne. They cover imports and ex
ports for the first quarter of the cur
rent year, and show the imports dur
ing that period to have been about
$27,775,000, against exports to this
country of approximately $16,350,000.
February exports nearly equaled in
value the totals for January and
March, and in that month the outgoing
shipments ‘exceeded the imports. In
the saine month, however, the value of
the imports was less than half of the
goods brought in during March,
