FOLK B ' The movement Tor folk-dancing in .America is fnr mofe significant and complex than appears nt first sight. lf simple and obvious reasons lie in the licnllliful exercise, which the folk-danca afford, particularly for girls under tho restricted conditions of city school yards; nntl tho fact that girls like their dances and do the inwith enthusiasm, thus deriving from thcr more xigoroiw cxercie tli'an they would through less enjoy able movement. "There ! connected with Hid folk- dance a love of tho open, of the vigor and joy of activity for its own sake, of co-operation with others in exer cise of rhlyhmicnl beauty. .The fnlk-danres that are to be given on the floor of the skating rink ni tho Nnt Friday night. May 2d, by tlie pupils of tho Medford schools niVd high school are those which can be dono by tho largest number in the most limited space, those in which most of the individuals are active most of the time. In connection with these the little girU of the Washing ton school will be seen in n singing gamo entitled "I See Yon." The other numbers on the program arc Jmlinn club, dumb bells nnd wand drills. The Medford Orchestral club will furnish the mutic for tho even ing and the program will end with a relay race by the girh of the high school. The prize offered is a fivc Kund box of candy.

Tho concern of Japanese parents that the citizenship ot their American born children shall not bo subject to attack lu the future is uvUIenccd tn tho fact that they o not delay a day In filing their birth certificates with the proper authorities, according to Dr. W. K. Lindsay, city health offi cer of Sacramento. "Other foreigners are more or less lax In this regard," said Dr. Lindsay today, "but not tho Japanese. They do not have to ho encouraged or re mtnded of this safeguard, but appear at this offtco within a few hours after the birth of children." Dr. Lindsay further declared that tho birthrate of Japanese was great ly Increasing and materially outnum bers that of any other alien race In this district.

I APS ANXIOUS E BIRTH AMERICAN BORN SVVIN SUFFERS VANDALS SLASH CAGED ANIMALS Parkinson's Referendum Election (Prom the Portland Spectator) It looks us though we would have a special referendum election In No vember. The election will cost about $100,000. It is to bo called by Harry .1. Parkinson of Portland, an nttor-liey-at-hwv and some other things. Tho purjx'se of the referendum which will bring nbout this special election is to deprive tho I'niversity of Ore gon of it building appropriation of $173,000, made by the legislature. Since the, dilference $100,000 nnd $173,000 is $73,000, the amount which Mr. Parkinson hopes to save the tax-payer Is clear. It is six years since the university has had n new building, though tho student attendance has increased from nbout 300 to inoro than 700. Such condition of congestion docs not exist in anv other state univer sity in this country. Although the state carries no insurance nnd bus much valuable property thnt money could not replace, yet there is not n fireproof building on the campus. There are other conditions of neglect and deprivation ot the slate univer Country Versus City Life In tho North Atlautlc states In l$10. 4S per cent of tho people lived In small towns and country districts comprising 95 per con I of the land, and GS per cent lived In cities of 300,000 and over comprising tho re maining area of t per cent, Tho luro of tho great city, u theme sat urated with tragedy, has been writ ten of many times; Frederick L. Hoffman, actuary of the Prudential Llfo Insuranco company, In a recent pamphlet, points out that longevity nnd diminished liability to disease aro decidedly favored lu the country. Tho typhoid fever mortality rat" Is higher In the country than In tho city, but tho difference Is much less than has often been assumed. Al though tho mortality from malaria has been higher, and In many plaivs no doubt stilt is so, mosquito elim ination has greatly reduced tho num ber of cases of malaria In rural dis tricts.

The only real money is gold coin 23.8 grains .0 fino for u htnndurd dollur. Tho value of a dol lar fluctuates with the supply nud dc mund for money. Financiers in con trol of gold supply can regulate tho ipmntity of money in circulation nt will to suit their interests ns positive ly as diomniid kings regulate tho sup ply of diamonds by locking up tho surplus production of diamonds. Tho oredit of tho state depends on its ability to meet its obligations to pay in money tho sumo as individual credit. When gold disuppenrH from circulation all debtors including tho stuto become bankrupts. There is only one way to measure tho value of money to mensuro tho stundnrd measure that is by a jinco list of commodities. Acoinpnnson of urico lists extending over a period of years shows the iluctuution in tho value of tho dollar, after allowance is mndo for tho fluctuation in supply and demund for each commodity. Tho totnl world's gold supply is ubout eleven billion dollars. Tho total supply of tho United States about ono nnd ono-half billion dol lars. The demand obligations of tho (milks of tho United States is nbout twenty billion dollars, n financial con dition that is n perpetual meniico of nniioual bankruptcy. Under the gold standard unything passes for money that is current for gold, thus bunk checks aro used for over ninety per cent of money circu lation, but nil paper monoy substi tutos bcfomo worthless when gold dis- njurB frota civculutiou, sity for which wo are Indebted In Mr. I'lirkiicon, who has elected hluuelf to undo what tho lcgMuturc. lias done. lint wo must give this spokesman for tho people otedlt for both indus try nnd consistency. Having u small practice in law he finds petition making both easy and remunerative. He secured, vouched for. nnd filed over 3000 names that were proved forged or fictitious, most of which wore admitted as such by his own counsel in the famous university ref erendum case. Put for many of these forged or fictitious names he received from 7 to 10 cents each, be sides other fees collected from hi backers. Put in all this work he was consistent, for when ho failed to or ganize u labor union in Kugene three years ago he promNcd to "get even" through attacks on the unlorsity. He has been keeping his promise, and so the Parkinson special election of 1013 is to be called in November. It will cost $100,000, but It is a lrivi lege which will not bo denied those who have the motives nnd inonov to buy tho signatures for the petitions. peritonitis also scorn more common In tho country, souto of these aro dis eases of old age, and tho difference Is undoubtedly duo In great meusute by reason of n Inrger proportion of old persons In tho country, the young halug migrated to the city.
