There will be no children in the United States under 6 years of age in the year 1030. Babies, accordingly, will have dis appeared from this country aa early aa J0l 5. This la the mathematical conclusion of Professor Walter F. Wiilcox. of Cornell University, announced to the American Statistical Association this afternoon. Babies Must Come From Prance. The only hope of securing babies in the T'ntted States after M-S according to Professor Wiilcox' calculation, la In possible Importation from France. He say France will continue to have babies SO years after the United State, ha. quit. 'There is proportionately more race siilrMe In the' United States than In France." said Professor Wiilcox. An endowment for the stork was rec ommended to the American Sociological Association by George Elliot Howard, professor of sociology in the University of Nebraska. Pension for Mothers Proposed. In his address on the "Social Control of Domestic Relations" he declared the state should honor motherhood by endowing mothers. "Parents who raise families, he Bald, are entitled to payment and security from the state, the same a. the soldier and the Judge and any other public serv ant. The woman who gives a. child to the state should be allowed an Income by the state for taking care of that child. That would make the mother the ruler of the home. That would be social Justice." TAXPAYERS' MEETING TO BE INVESTIGATED AT ONCE. Committee Named for This Work nd Others to Take 'r School Laws and Maintenance Cost. John M. Haak, president of the Civic Council, was empowered at a special meeting of that body and taxpayers oi School District No. 1. Multnomah Coun ty, held in the convention hall of the Portland Commercial Club last night, to appoint three committees. One of these will Investigate the legality of the taxpayers' meeting held in the Lin coln High School building Wednesday nla-ht. A second will consider and re port upon the advisability of drafting new set of laws for tne school ais- trict and the advisability of providing for a tax-levying commission. Th third will return a report telling why the cost of maintaining the school dis trict has Increased from $294,210 in 1900 to $2,132,100 In 1911. Each of the committees will consist of three men. Mr. Haak said that he would announce their personnel within week. The following resolution relative to the taxpayers' meeting Wednesday night was submitted by Allan R. Joy and unanimously carried: Re It resolved by the Civic Council of Portland. Oregon, and taxpayers of School District No. 1. Multnomah County. Plate of Oregon. In Joint meeting assembled, that we do hereby protest and remonstrate again.i the parking of taxpayers' meeting, held In tha Lincoln hlrh school on the eronlng of December 2. 1110. and we further remon strate and protest against the method of conducting said meeting, and the action of the chairman thereof In not affording ample opportunity for discussion ana in nastily subroutine an Informal motion to adjourn: and we further protest and remonstrat acalnst the negligence of the Board of Edu cation In falling to maka suitable and proper provision for ascertaining who were qual llted voters, and providing that only legal otsrs b allowed to enter the noor or in. all and participate In tha proceedings. The tax-levying commission was the uaxestlon of County Assessor 8igler, whose idea waa that such a body would save money to the taxpayers by com bining In Itself the levying power. now exercised by four bodle. in the County of Multnomah, the City Coun cil, the Port or Portland commission, the County Court and the Board of Ed ucation. Mr. Stgler would have the tax-levying commission consist of three men and have each of the bodle. enum erated above submit Its budget to such commission for final action. He be- ieved that lower rates would result from concentration of responsibility for the tsx levies. North Albino, Wants Sewers.

Gentlemen: The Hardman Piano I purchased of you last Winter for my home in Milan, being the first piano I ever liked well enough to buy for my own use, has given me the utmost satisfaction and pleasure. The tone of the high register is of an exquisite purity and delicacy. In singing with it I really feel as if I am being accompanied by an orchestra. Its touch is so extraordinarily responsive that I study upon it, with infinite pleas ure, the new operas as well as rehearsing the old ones. It is most gratifying to me to add my name to those of the many cele brated musicians who use the Hardman Piano in' their homes and have pro claimed it the leading instrument of the century.
