WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 Estab lishment of a special re-dlscount rate of three and one-half per cent on agricultural paper is under conside ration hy the federal reserve board, officials said today. The proposal has been laid before the federal resenve banks, it was explained, and action by the board is being withheld pend ing their replies, although officials indicated the suggestion was not mooting with favor generally. Officials explained the special farm rate .would enable banks which made loans for agricultural purposes to re Hscount at ZVi per cent, one-half pe. cent below the lowest reserve rate now in effect, if the rate charged by the banks to the original borrower did not exceed six per cent. Board officials apparently differed as to the advisability of tho farm commodity rate being revived under present conditions. SWIM TO CATALINA IS. I.OS AXOELfiS, Aug. 15. E. A.

' LESS BEER 'AND By DAVID M. CHURCH, International. News Service Staff Correspondent, '' ' LONDON, Aug. 15. Pessimistic pre- 'dictions that the English are a dying race are boiled by the latest batch of vital statistics, which show that in stead of decaying the English people are more virile and alive than ever be fore In their history. The latest compilation is for the year ,1920, and this report shows that the mnrrlnge rate has increased, the birth rate has Increased, the death rate has decreased, and altogether England Is in a flourishing nnd populous condi tion. The shining records which are caus ing great enthusiasm In England sot forth theso facts for 1920: The marriage rate was the highest ever reported 20.2 per cent per 1000 ot all ages. The birth rate was 25.5 per 1000, the highest 3lnco 1909. Tho number of births was 957,782, the largest numbor over recorded. The death rate was the lowest ever recorded 12.4 per 1000. These facts having been presented, now England Is swelling its chest with pride, but wrinkling its brows and querying, "Why?" Less beer and post-war marriage are held responsible for these statistics by many sociologists. Post-war marriages were numerous but there are doubts whether they wero always happy or wIbb marriages, the sociologists say. Although there are many who would like to hide the fact, It Is true that these records were set up when the war restrictions Uon the sale of beer and alcoholic stimulants were most strict. t'anndu Railroads -Out WnKi, .
