Competition, a new syle-con-sciousness

wrought these changes. Women
insist on tho new styles while they

good business to meet the demand.

In order to win tho bet ho finds
himself telling his sweetheart thut

YELLOW PERIL'

PITTSBURGH (P) -Eugenic, fac
tors for and agulnst domination of
the world by oriental races aro
enumerated by Prof Roswell H.
Johnson of tho University of
Pittsburgh' in a report to iho
American Eugenics society.
"The eugenic aspect of the ori
ent." he says, "must interest us.
,slnce the western worl dnow has
entered Into a rapid decline of the
birth rate which is shared only in
a minor degree as yet by the ori
ent. . .
"This, together with a superior
toleration of torrid temperatures
by tho Chinese and the East In
dians, presages' an orlentallzation
of tho world (especially If wo in
clude tho scml-orlentuL fecund
'Russian peasant.)' ?
"The outstanding feature of the
orient eugenlcally is the effect
that thd very strong family unit
there has' in resisting the' power
ful trend toward a lower birth
ratoi in thd Intelligentsia. Tho
significant feature Is that the
Chfneso man and woman feel a
gerfuino ambition to be the par
ents of several children.
"Tho international consequence,
especially as" iho death rato is
regularly decreasing with the
spread of western medical arts,
is suro to bo a great incroaso In
the oriental populations In con
trast to tho western peoples.
"The crucial question Is how
firm a resistance docs the Chinese
family system offer to the great
wave of family limitation that Is
sweeping the western world so ef
fectively? In China It Is now evi
dent that among those educated
in tho west, this resistance. Is not
groat.'
Factors tending to limit tho slza
of the race in China Dr. John
son enumerates as i n cl uding
d oaths from, over-crowding, diwe
spread brigandage, and graft. An
other barrier is tho arranging of
marriages by necromancers.

" San Francisco. Another great
forward stop In the development of
the West was made public here
today with the announcement ot
plan for the new 380-foot skyscrap
er headquarters of the Shell Oil
Company. Representing an invest
ment of 13,000,000, the new struc
ture will be one ot America's most
modern buildings, both In design
and In equipment. It will have 28
stories, the third highest building
In San Francisco.
The Shell Building should be
ready for occupancy on May 1,
1930. From It will be directed the
extensive exploration, production,
refining and marketing activities of
'Shell Oil Company and the re
search and development work ot
the newly organized Shell Develop
ment Company and Shell Chemical
Company. It will- be Pacific Coast
headquarters for manufacture and
distribution of the complete Shell
products line Shell 400, the ''dry"
gas for' motorists. Shell Motor Oil
that forms no hard carbon. Shell
Aviation Gasoline, Shell household
specialties. Shell mill lubricants,
and Shell fuels of various kinds.
Work of demolishing five brick
buildings on the site at Bush and
Battery Streets Is already under
way. The Bush-Battery corner Is a
commanding location. It is directly
behind the square in which the Me
chanic's Monument is set on Market
Street at the head of First Street,
only six blocks from the Ferry
Building and conveniently central
to the financial, Insurance and'
transportation office' districts., The
greater portion of the Shell front

inches on' Bush and 137 feet six
Inches on Battery, wilt have more
than 200 feet of clear 'space in a
southeasterly direction : receiving

is the present trend in many ol
America's finest buildings. Flood
lighting will be used to bring oul
the beauty of the building at night.
Construction Will be of steel and re

A garage to accommodate 176
automobiles will be one of the
building's many conveniences.
