I don't want to be a comic; I want to be a Juggler." And he went off shaking his head. Farmer (1 O P Chief I hU houho!cl ood PurnUri- If you want a really beautiful Per manent, oall 101.

IS Population Due To Start Down Hill Around 1950 High Cost of Living, Not Birth Control, Gets Blame MEDFORD MATE TRIBTjyE. rEPrORD, OR EG ON. FRIDAY. AUGUST 10, 1934. S3 lL si Jsl:' Lv,iivt .- 1- . .. .....t-'.: j:: .. . 775 . J!? Br Harry Ferguson United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. (UP) What this country needs la a flock of quintuplets. The census bureau says so, nd they ought to know because they spend all their time counting noses. They figure that come the year 3000 A. D. Nev York probably will be a Tillage. Chicago a cracker-barrel cross roads and Washington will hare a population of six the president, his wife and the tn-laws. Sometime between now and 1950, the bureau estimates America's popu lation will atop increasing, stand attll tor a while and then start downhill In 3000 A. D. presidential candidates will run on a platform of furnishing a fourth for bridge In every house hold in the land. 700,000 More Next Year . Right now we aren't In auch a bad fix. When they count noses next year there will be about 700,000 more of us than there are now. But this Increase will melt away, because the United States no longer Is a young country, but an old one. Canada la a young country and what happens? Ask Papa Dlonne. If thlnga keep up the way they are, there never can be more than 142, 000.000 Americana. RJght now there are 130.000,000. The census people thing that in five or alx years the death and the birth rate will be bal anced. In another 100 years rents ought to start going down and con gestion in Times Square will be auf liciently relieved so you can cross the street without a police escort. Living Cost Blamed We asked the census bureau to give us the honest-to-gooduess lowdown on why the population was going to de crease and they aald they would. Nope, It's not birth control that's doing it. It's the high cost of living chiefly. People don't rush out and get married any more ust beoause some blonde tells a guy he's big and strong and she's so tired of it all. The fel low counts his money, finds out he hasn't got much and switches to brunettes. Bachelors write Into the bureau every once in a while complaining because they have to pay school tax es when they haven't any kids to send to school. They don't know when they're well of. Bachelors Beware ' As soon as the population starts declining the government will take : steps. It's already been done abroad. England deducts' a lot of dough from 1 lnoome taxes for people who have children; Italy pays a bonus for chil dren; and France pays a, father lots more than a single man for doing the same kind of work. The census bureau thinks all of us may live to see the day when the political slogan will be "a. baby m very cradle" Instead of "a chicken In every pot." YE TO DO JUGGLING To the world, W. O. Fields is a big success. He makes 'em laugh. He's one of the most sought after party guests tn Hollywood. But beneath his humor is a secret sorrow, for pro fessionally speaking BUI Fields Is an embittered man. The world doesn't appreciate his juggling. Long before he turned to comedy, he was a vaudeville Juggler, devoted to his art. Most of his spare time was spent in hotel rooms In honky tonks, practicing feats of balance. But no matter how hard he practiced, his acta never received more than the average flutter of applause. He set his teeth and determined to roll 'em in the aisles. Finally, after many yeara of stub born practice, Flelda perfected hla masterpiece a trick of Juggling twenty-five cigar boxes, end on end, with a little rubber ball on top. First tfie ball was dropped and caught in bis other hand: then each box fol lowed In succession, the top one fall ing with machine-like precision without disturbing the boxes beneath it. It was a wow, and W, c. knew It. And satisfied that he had reached the ultimate at last, he packed up his boxes and set out for the theater. He did it aa the climax of hla act. At the conclusion of the trick, he whirled toward the audience with outstretched arms and awaited the applause. Several thousand dead pans stared back at him in cathedral like silence. He went off crushed. It was several yeara later that he decided to accompany his trick with a line of humorous patter. It caught on Instantly, and before he knew it Fields found himself catapulted to B-oadwsy. The second night at the Palace the manager came to him, patted him on the back and told him he was the funniest man In America. "But." he added, "after this you better quit that Juggling and Just talk" fo Fields talked and afterwards wrote another act for hlrrwelf Thn rame the Follies.
