IIFOLLETTEIN CONTROLOFHOUSE By Timr* Snrrtaì WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.—Senator Robert M. La Folletto, seems to have captured control of affaire In thè new House of Representatives, when lt assemblea next year. La Follette can sway thè eleven Wisconsin members of thè House and they In tum can determino thè extent of thè Old Guard Republican domlnatlon. Republican leaders frankly admit La Follette holds thè key. • Longworth Aire Views Here is what Representative Nick Longworth of Cincinnati, most likely Republican choice for floor leader, says: “My electlon to thè floor leadership depends upon thè attitude of Senator La Follette.” / In other words, if La Follette says thumbs down on Longworth, he likely wiil be defeated. This applies to Speaker Gillett’s candidacy for reelection too. It also applies to organization of committees. The new Congress will consist of 225 Republican, 207 Democrats, one Independent, one Socialist and one Farmer-Labor Congressman. Wlthout thè Wisconsin vote thè Repbblicans could muster but 215 votes, whereas thè Democrats would poli 217, with thè Wisconsin group. Unless thè Old Guard Leaders of thè House can patch up a deal with thè Democrats, La Follette, with his balance of power from Wisconsin, will diciate many House affaire.

BONDS ARE IRRECULAR DURING SHORT SESSION Stw! Issues Show Good Tona on R<*ports of Merger. By United Financial NEW Y'ORK. Nov. 25. —Bond. were dull and lrregular during today's short session. Steel issues showed a good tone on the news of the taking of the Cambila and Midvale by Bethlehem, for, thls merger was only one of several being talked. The bear drive o nindustrial stocks unsettled the tone in the industriai bonda. although there were a few steady spots, notably the publlc Utilities and the packing bonds. Liberty bonds were very conservatively traded. Larger buyers are waiting to see what financing Secretary Mellon wlll do in Deeember to take of the Government’s maturing obligations. The concensus ap pears to be that short term issue of notes to the amount of about J500,000.000 will be floated. The Liberty 3ì 2 s proved a steady spot in the list, with Treasury 4’4s showing a improvement at the start. Th'Wfirst 4 1 * were again under some pressure. A few of the leaders in foreign loans received some patronage, but trading in this department of the bond market was slow and productlve of few features. Rail Issues were again characterized by irregularity. OIL LIST YIELDS T 0 CURB MARKET PRESSURE Standard of Indiana Is Most Vulnerable Point.

KIDNAPEDIBYEARS A£O;SEEKSPARENT CEDAR RAPIDS, lowa, Nov. 25. Bert Raven, who was kldnaped eighteen years ago and flnally abandoned by two women at Michigan City, Ind., some Ave years later, is in a fair way to dlscover wlio hls parents are. A message from Worcester, Mass., says thè police there are working on a clew which may lead to their identity. Raven appealed to a newspaper here to broadcast thè story of his kidnaping by radio, with thè hope that some one would hear it that could put him in touch with his parents. C. M. Lockwood, formerly of Worcester, heard thè story and had a talk with thè young man. Lockwood says there was a kidnaping at Worcester in 1904 that was never solved, Raven, thè narae chosen for hlmself aster running away from an orphanage at Plymouth, Ind., remembered thè name of two streets in thè town from which he was kidnaped. , There are streets of that name in Worcester and thè circumstances of thè kidnaping as relted by Lockwood convince Raven that at least he is on thè right track. The police at Burlington, N. J„ are trying to get in touch with Mrs. IL S. Spoltare, one of thè women who .s said to have stoien Raven from thè man who kidnaped him.

Announcement of the merger was made by Eugene G. Grace. president of Bethlehem and W. E. Corey, preeldent of Midvale. The consolidatlon of the two companies wlll givo Bethlehem an annual capaclty of 7,600,000 tons. PROSPERITYEVIL, SAYSBIQLOGIST ✓ STOCKHOLM, Nov. 25. Pro* periti’ ls a bad thlng for a race because it is one of the flrst steps toward degeneration. In the opinion of Prof. Herman Lundborg, head of the Rade Blologlcal Institute at Upsala, Sweden. well-known for hi* inveatigatlons in eugenica and raditi blology. Prosperity brlngs with it the graduai ellmlnatlon of the good middle ciana, the professor declared in a recent addresa on the subject. and thls In any country is a suro slgn of decay. “There ls grave doubt,” he contlnued. "whether a people reallj’ galns nny proflt. when milltons of money begin to potir lnto the country. Experience, past as well as present, ehows that when wealth la uddeniy lncreaaed it brlngs endless new needs Luxuries aro demanded, laesitudo seta in. and the Interest in work and production falla off. Women begin to avoid matemity. All of these lirocesses. beginnlng in the midd'e and upper classes, gradually work downwanl and In time destroy the race. Thus they are a a much a monaco to a country as a powerful politicai enemy." The professor npprovea birth control, however, especlallj’ among the less desirable elements of a country’* l population, and he belleves that tlie reproduction of a race should ho limited, as far aa possible, to thoso who are "w’eli borri.” He ls stoutly opposed t.o the mixing cf races, and glves this as one of the reasons why populations In larger clties tend to degenerate, except In so far as raclally replenished from the country dlstrlcts. “Europe is decaylng,” he sali, “not only as a result of politicai oataclysms. but also because of a misconceptlon of raclal hyglene, and a failure to counteract the forces of degeneration. A strong middle class is necessary for thè racla! health of a people. Increasing industry and trade make lt possible to feed a larger population, but at tlie sanie timo brlng about a serlous change in thè structure of society. The old middle class decays and fìnally dlsappears. A new middle class ls forrned, to be su re, but lt ls of poorer substance.
