ARE WE DOOMED TO STARVA
TION?
1J. N. Dickson, professor of i
geography at University college,
Edinburg, is out with another
shock, lie told the British As
sociation for Lin* Advancement of
Science, at a session in Birming
ham a few days ago, that willi
in a century s lime the resources
of the world—wheat, corn, coal,
etc.—will he taxed beyond their
capacity and that the people I hen
alive will he in danger of starva
tion. And the worst part of llio
prediction is that Mr. Dickson
tloes not tell us how Hie fate can
he avoided, evaded or longer
postponed.
Those of us who expect to keep
our appetites for another century
might lie more alarmed over the
situation it we had not heard]
something of llio kind before. It!
will hr- remembered that the Rev. j
Mr. Malllms frightened a loL of,
folks nearly to death with a ,
similar prediction about a cen-j
lury ago. lie figured that 71 lie j
poimlalion was increasing so j
much more rapidly than the pro- .
duclion ol' 1'oodstull's that iilt.i— i
male starvation was ineviablc. |
Even in the later days the coal
barons have told us that we were!
going to run out of fuel in a few j
years and llu* only result of their j
prediction has been an increase]
in the price of coal and the op- ■
cuing of new coal Helds every!
now and then. i
II is I rue I hill the pupulat ion is !
growing rapidly and that produc- ]
lion is not keeping pace. Iml lliisj
is an economic ipieslion thill al
ways adjusts itself. The produc-I
jug area in the I niled Slates is!
being' enlarged every year, scien- j
litic methods are increasing inn- ;
lerially I he volume of crops from •
oh I acreage and I here are cm- 1
pires slid awaiting development.]
The nation wastes enough each ]
year to keep the rest of I lie ■
world from starving. This is be_ j
ing eliminated as rapidly as j
needs demand and we have no]
dould I hat I he problem of eipial- !
jzalion between production and I
sustenance will he solved in aj
manner to blast I he predict ion •
of Mr. Dickson as it did that of !
the Hex. Mi'. Malllius. |ln the
meantime most of us xvill prob
ably gu iilong eating more than is
ready good for us —Ex.
THE ODORLESS ONION.
These experts and experiment
ers are going pretty far when
they announce the production of
the odorless onion. \V. N. Mil
ler of SI. BlairsviIle, Ohio, one
of the experts, claims to have
produced a hybrid onion which
has the llavor of the Bermuda,
the hardiness of the golden yel
low and is odorless. The expert
insists that the odor of the onion
is its greatest drawback and he
believes its use will be greatly
•enlarged by the use of the odor
less variety.
We are not so sure about that.
The onion has played its part in
history and world-making. We
may not care to smell the breath
of those who have been eating
onions, hut there is a question
whether the odor of them does
act as a spur to the jaded ap
petite. There is not much hope
for the man who docs not sniff
in anticipation when he catches
the odor of onions in the frying
pan.
The odorless onion did not lig
ure in the diet of the Israelites,
for Moses tells us: “We remem
ber the tisli which we did eat in
Egypt freely; the eucumb rs and
the melons, and the onions and
the garlic.” The record shows
that the pyramids were built on
a diet of two onions and a hunk
of black bread per day and is it
not possible that the strong
smelling vegetable helped to make
them the strongest 'structures of
all times?
Rolanically and scientifically,
the discovery of the odorless on
ion may be a real achievement,
but it may prove a dietetic disap
pointment. Smell is I he hand
maiden of taste, and we suggest
that if we have to eat odorless
onions, they be served with salt
less salt, pepperless pepper, oil
less oil and tangless vinegar.—

A BRITISH VIEW OF TAMMANY.
The Times of London wonders
why, with a majority of the peo
ple id' New York opposed to Tam
many Hall, that survival of the
spoils system continues to nour
ish. flow under multiplying sym
bols of a democracy can such a
ruthless despotism exisl, he de
plored by most, yet maintain its
dominating control?
Cannot even a Hrilish mind
grasp the fact that, while it is
I he sole business of Tammany’s
leaders and camp-followers lo
hold the reins of politics, if is
nol the sole business of those
who oppose them to cul them
off? The hater of Tammany
spends live miuules a day, or
nionh. or year in hating, bill ac
tive loyalty is the Tammany
"heeler’s" whole existence. It is
his bread and butter. If means
contracts for public works, places
for I he faithful, opportunities for
large private profit, at an expense
to the entire communiy, but at
a distributed expense, which
awakens only mild if general rc
senment. II would hardly pay lo
give up one’s legitimate business
to slay the parasites of Tam
many. So they survive and
I hrive.
