In I')ui(i)i', however, and particularly in r;np;land, there 1ms! 1011 in recent years a revival of tiie alarm aliout overpopulation, and the question has lieon raised with some insistency whether it will remain possible for an arcu to maintain its inhabitants un less thfir natural growth In number is offset by a decline in aver aged wealth and comfort. , To this state of miiidn the writings of J. M. Keynes have largely conii ibuted. It has even been suggested without, it must be said, due reference to the salient facts of the rase, that one reason why there are a million and a iiarler per rons unemployed in iirilain is because of overpopulation. This latter idea, badly based as it is, lias taken such hold on popular thought that Sir William Meveridgo, the distinguished economist and sociologist, deemed it necessary to combat it form? ally before the recent meeting of the Iiritish association. Main taining, first, that overpopulation and unemployment have little or nothing to do with each other, and that where overpopulation does exist it shows itself not by throwing men out of work, but by fostering lower standards, longer hours and more severe com- petition, he next proceeded to prove by statistical figures that, whether Europe alone or Kurope with the countries settled from it is considered, the corn and grain production in either case, per head as well as per acre, rose regularly through every decade from 1H80 to 1910, and that the same was true of coal, iron ore and mule steel in other words, that at no time within that period was there any shortage of the roots of life.

In tliin matter the psychology may not be very deep nor farj to Keck, but it is certainly pervasive. A fine illustration of itsi Application is offered by the experience of a Leipzig professor, j who cited Robinson Crusoe as an example of what persistency andj unremitting toil can accomplish. Every one who in youth hasi j'eud Defoe's classic will remember the impression it left of the' dignity of labor and the desire it imparled to do as Crusoe did j and tackle each task wholeheartedly as it presents itself. The; Leipzig professor dilated on this theme. The advice was sound, but note the sequel. Next day the pro-; fessor received from u socialist member of the school board a let ter which took him to task for his attack on the sacredness of the eight hour day. Such practices might be all right on an uninhab ited island, but In Germany of the present day, perish the thought!

Cars Englishmen have noticed already. The other day an obser vynt Uuidoner in a restaurant patronized mostly by tourists, 'couiitcd a score of fat persons and found later that over half of them were Americans. His conclusion was that Americans have lioen gaining in weight since the war anil are destined to take the place of the Dutch as the most corpulent nation on earth, lie had seeti the American soldiers during the war. lie now compared these elderly and well-fed sightseers with the trim doughboys who had passed through London in It) 17. The contrast led him to the hasty conclusion that Americans are suddenly growing stout. Had he lieen in the 1'niled States he might have noted the same physi cal change, only he would have seen that it was gradual and that it began long before the war. Half a century ago the only Yankee known to Kurope was the tail, spare individual, summed up in 'Tncle Sam,'' who at one time was as typical of Americans as stout "John Hull" still is of English men. That is the outstanding point of reference from which we can measure our descent. How did the change occur'.' The Eng lish observer in the restaurant, probably influenced by his sur roundings, declares it is due lo heavy eating. Americans, he says. w re not forced to half starve themselves, either during or after the war, like some European nations. !ut olhei-s have suggested v better explanation: Our tendency to obesity is due to the in creased use of the automobile. The motor car is so convenient and -saves so much exertion that many have fallen into lazy habits. Better Late Than Never-- ' .

Either way puts the scale of profits out of balance and leaves the farmer to face the possibilities of loss on maybe his one and only class of production. Similarly, milk products are. more nrofitable than producing cattle for slaughter, for it Is said the out put of dairy products in one year is greater in dol lars and cents that the total slaughtered worth of all the cattle in the country.
