DE CREA SE IN BIR TH RATE
Providence, R. I., Dec. 28.—The Am
bition of the average American to rise
In life Is the cause of the downward
tendency of birth rate In the United
States, according to Professor Edward
A. Ross, of the University of Wiscon
sin. who defended race suicide In an
address before the annual national edu
cational conference being held under
the auspices of Brown University.
Professor Ross said in part:
Immediate consequences of a
diminishing birth rate are a rising
” f comfort among the masses, a
reduction of Infant mortality, and an
increase In the average prospect that
™ei?.\ on PTssure (hitherto class
conflict) will cease to shape social
destinies.

Shades of Oglethorpe and the rest of

Yesp one department of the great
state of .Georgia Is practically stalled
because of a lack of postage stamps
and money to buy them. It doesn't
mean, of course, that this department
will have to wait until the- legislature
meets In order to get a few postage
stamps.' But the department will have
to wait until the flrst of the new year,
for Uncle 8am requires cash for the
stamps he sells.
This department Is the railroad com

past ten days Secretary George F.
Montgomery, has had part of hls work
at a standstill because he has no stamps.
stamps and because there Is no appro
priation available with which to pur-

These stamps are necessary to place
upon the big batch of annual reports
of the commission that- Secretary
Montgomery has beon sending over the
country. He kept them going through
the malls as long as the stamps lasted
and then he had to suspend operations.
This was ten days ago and the work
will not commence until after the flrst
of the new year.
It so happens that the appropriation

for this year was exhausted some time

Another appropriation will be avalU
