-BIRTH RA’ i IS
NOT HINDERED
BY HIGH COSTS
f* NEW YORK, Sept. 7 (by Associated
Press).—Despite the high cost of liv
ing, shortage of housing and the
scarcity of domestic servants, the- ac
tual birth rate in New York City is
going up at a rapid rate, according
to health authorities statistics issued
here.
The figures show that the birth rate
per thousand for the first seven
months of 1920 was 22.34, against the
rate of 21.90 in the same period last
ye$j.
While the birth rate is on the in
crease, the health department’s statis
tics show the death rate of children
j^^iu the city is on the decline. The rate
^^^f infant mortality for the past year
on each 1,000 births was 83, while the
preceding year a much higher figure is
on the records.
The decline in death rate is attrib
uted by the authorities to the laws of
sanitation and healthful living, which
are now better understood by the mass
of the people.
LACK OF CARGOES FROM
RIVER PLATE AFFECTS
AMERICAN SHIPPING
^ BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 7 (by Asso
k ciated Press).—American vessels in
the River Plate have suffered serious
losses by being unable to find return
cargoes in many cases because of
the refusal of the port workers to
handle wool and hides out of sym
pathy with strikers in the wool and
hides markets, according to shipping
men. This strike has continued for
several months and as a result almost
no wool and hides are being moved.
Normally these two items furnish
many return cargoes for American
vessels and the continued strike has
put ships to loss of time and cargo.
The result, according to shipping men
is that a number of ships are being
diverted and that charter prices are
more or less unstable.
- MEXICO IS AFTER
ARMY DEFAULTERS
L
MEXICO CITY, Sept 7 (by Asso
ated Press).—Proceeding against 48
army paymasters are actually pending
in federal district courts, involving
the disappearance since 1914 of more
than 2,000,000 pesos of army funds,
according to The Excelsior, which
quotes Eduardo Neri, attorney gener
al. The attorney general, it is stated,
is desirous of pushing these cases and
demanding the extradition of those
missing paymasters known to have
sought refuge in other countries.
♦ LUSCIOUS WATERMELONS
BEING FED TO HOGS
f -
YORK, S. C., Sept. 7 (by Associated
Press).—Farmers in this vicinity are
giving away watermelons and feeding
them to hogs. Three weeks ago
watermelons were reported selling at
prices ranging from 50 cents to $1.25
each. Now the crop has swamped the
market.
Do you want a suit of clothes made
from woolens purchased before the
war? I have several on hand and you
can’t beat the price anywhere. Drop
in and see ’em. Peyser, the tailor.

SAYS
PHONE SYST
IS HUGE JOKE
LONDON, Sept. 7 (by Associated
Press).—Announcement by Pike
Pease, assistant postmaster general,
that the American telephone system
is now inferior to that in this country,
is disputed by Sir Joseph Duveen, who
divides his time equally between this
country and the United States. In
an interview with the Pall Mall Ga
zette Sir Joseph said:
“The telephone service here can
only be described as rotten. It the
postmaster general does not realize
the difference between the American
and the British services, he should
send a few men to New York for a
month, and tell them to note the dif
ferences, and then learn how it is
done.
“Personally, in America, I practi
cally spend all my day on the tele
phone. Here I hardly ever use it. I
have neither the time nor patience.
The service, like Mr. Pease’s state
ment is a joke.“
