SOCIAL PROBLEMS WEREJEALT WITH By President of the American Economic Association Thursday. (National News Akro. Iiitluu) WASHINGTON, Dee. 28 -In an address before the twenty-fourth annual meeting of the American Economic Association at the Hotel Raleigh today the president, Professor Henry W. Farnam, reviewed extensively the economic truths to be found in history. His speech will be followed by an address from President Taft, on the federal budget this afternoon. President Farnam devoted himself almost entirely to pointing out the economic propositions that have faced humanity In the years gone by, commenting upon the value of these social evolutions and urging his fellow economists to devote their attention to the solution of present day problems with the aid of history. His only reference to the social problems of 1911 dealt with the tariff

and the bimetallism of currency. He-! garding this subject Professor Farnham said: Gold and Silver. "Some 3.r years ago many economists thought that the alternating demand for gold and for silver which would result from international bimetallism would keep the ratio of ex change between the two metals constant. As the agreement necessary to such a policy could not be carried into effect, our country endeavored to raise the price of silver by increasing the governmental demand for it. and rst the Allison Act. of 1878 and then the Sherman Act of 1890 were passed with this theory In view. The steady fall In the price of silver, In spite of that demand, went far towards proving the great limitations of the bimetallic theory. The so-called "AntiTrust Law" of the United States, which is being so much discussed at the present time, Is baaed upon the theory commonly accepted from Adam Smith down to the last quarter of the 39th century, that free competition is the best cure for the abuses of trade. Many are now reaching the conclusion hat our experience with that law is showing up many important limitations upon that theory. Not only did 'economic experiments rest as a rule upon Borne hypothesis, but they often rest upon the theories of the economists themselves, which though they are often derided in the beginning, slowly filter from the text-books .through the magazines and newspapers into the popular mind and influence public opinion, at times, long after the economists themselves have ceased to believe them. The economist bas at least one attribute of divinity In that his mills, like those of the .gods, grind slowly." The "Parasitic" Rich. Professor Farnam advocated an ecofttomlc expedition of exploration into J the homes of the rich as well as of the ipoor and spoke extensively on the "parasitic" rich. He says: "It is a matter of common observation that wealthy families in our country often contain a number of parajsltlc members, that is, members who (derive a large income from society without rendering any appreciable economic or public service in return. These general and obvious facts need, however, to be examined historically and statistically, in order to enable its to Judge correctly of the reaction Of prosperity on the human mind, and .of the conditions which determine it. ! Intensive studies of heredity in families, such as those made by Sir Franels Galton in England and Dr. Frederick A. Woods and Dr. C. D. Davenport Hn our country, are of great value, but need to be supplemented by a study of the economic reactions. In the case of animal life, the inherited character istics are all-important, and the skill ful breeder can reasonably expect to find the qualities of the parent in those of the offspring. Rut if cows had the power to deliberately choose a life f celibacy, ws should find many a ped igreed Guernsey, with ancestors in the sdvanced register, chewing her cud in idleness on the hillside and yielding no milk whatever, just as we often find sons of distinguished parents dls inlaying real ability, when put to some ! 'Academic test, and yet doing nothing to make their lives cither useful or distinguished for lack of proper incen- l the. Make Good Specimens. , "These parasitic members of the so:alled "leisure class" should be pecu liarly useful specimens for economic itudy In our country, because they are Hot under the social pressure of the ifeudal system. Inherited in the older 'countries of Europe from the time when wealth meant land ownership, .and land ownership of necessity involved public duties. Many of this class In our country walk our streets, eloquent but unconscious arguments for Socialism, terrible examples for the moralist, living texts for sermons, rich material for the problem novelist, but Still comparatively neglected by the economist, the sociologist, and the Statistician. We gather the budgets of working men but not of club men: we collect the statistics of Involuntary unemployment but not of voluntary Idleness; our study of social conditions on the East Side has not been extended to the West Side. And yet howcan we understand the causes of national decadence, that great and perennial question of history as well as of practical politics, unless we unflinchingly examine its phenomena during toe growing period?" In closing Professor Farnam made a strong plea for the collection of statistics that would permit posterity to deal with its problems by a retrospective glance through the figures gathered by economists of the present day.

About Introducing People. So unfamiliar are many Americans with the Knglisu rule that the "roof Is an introduction" that when one woman speaks to another at some social function there will be no reply, because "she has not been introduced." Every woman should remember that, no matter who she is or where she is from, no such casual conversation can hurt her, and she should not lay herHelf open to the very natural criticism that she doesn't know enough to speak when she is spoken to. A meeting of this kind does not necessitate a further acquaintance, tm it may cease when they leave the house of the hostess. tsome people Hue to follow mis ror-j eign custom of not introducing th?ir guests to one another, feeling that the mere fact of their all being friends nnd guests of the lioit and hostess is a sufficient introduction. There is a difference of opinion, however, on this I subject, and most persons think tliuta I hostess should put her guest at their ! ease and introduce them when occa-; sion requires it. j I There is a difference between a j formal and a casual introduction. The ! i . . . . . .... I I formal introduction Is made with a j deliberate purpose. The casual Introi ductiou is made to save nwkw al'dnoss j and need not entail further acquaintj ance. When a formal introduction is i made the hostess should always ti rst ask the privilege of making the introduction. This can be done in a very unobtrusive way. so that the one who wishes to be introduced knows nothing of the request. In making an introduction the man is presented to the woman in this way. "Miss Johnston, may I present Mr. Senrs?" or "Miss Johnston, allow me to present. Mr. Se:irs." or sti'l another expression is. "Mrs. Thompson. Mr. Browning desires the honor of knowing j ou." iu muouuiiug two women aiw ay s , present the younger to the older.

ii is correct tor a man to asi; a mu- 8tato and recommends that a verdict tual friend to present him to a woman jn a eriminal cage shall not be reVersor young girl. and. as a rule, the re-ed or affected for errors in the pro. quest is granted unless there is some i ceeding3 which do not affect the intervery good reason why the woman or ts f tIl . ,.,ir ,

girl does not wish to meet this special man. Men rarely ask to be introduced to each other, but if a woman wishes to present two men to one another they should never refuse the iutroductiou. For a very formal introduction n bow. a, pleasant smile and the words "How do you do, Mr. So-and-so." or "How do you do. Miss (or Mrs.) So-and-so." is sufficient, or one may merely repeat the name of the person presented In an undertone. If ono Is desirous of being less formal it is correct to shake hands even at a first introduction. It is also correct to say. "I am so glad to meet you. Mr. So-and so." or "It is a great pleasure for me to meet you. Miss So-and-so." but the expressiou. "Pleased to meet you." is not at all correct. Men always shake hands when they are introduced to each other. The Coming Out Party. ' A "coming out" party is a trying or-

deal, but if the debutante can prevent discussion of the mining industry; her smile from becoming set and her ! Charles P.

Upon a debutante should devolve the duty of keeping the account of reception days, seeing that cards are sent, noting any change of residence in the addrer.s book, writing notes of invitation, acceptance or regret. On receiving days her mother frequently allows her the privilege of dispensing the tea or offering it. and in all entertaining she is her mother's assistant. Informal Dinner. At an informal Lome dinner the hostess may serve the soup from a tureen, which is placed before her. The fish should be placed before the host and served by him. He also carves and serves the meat. If one has a maid It is best to stand the vegetables on the side table, but they may tie placed on the dining table if one prefers to have the dinner served in the old fashioned simple style. The salad and the dessert should be placed before the hostess, and if coffee is served the after dinner coffee set with the small cups, spoon and sugar may be placed before the hostess.

Friends mav call at COUNTY COUNCIL TO MEET JANUARY 6TH The county council will be called January 8 and among the matters to be considered will be the expense attached to the construction of a bridge over the Whitewater river. No final action by the council is anticipated at this meeting, and it is more than probable the money will not be appropriated for the structure until next summer. However, the council believes it best to keep in touch with the condition of afafirs as each situa- i tion arises Appropriations will be made for provements which were started last fall but uncompleted. Unless reappropriated the unexpended money for these uncompleted structures would revert back to the treasury. Several bridge appropriations will be made, and also a small amount of money for the completion of the detention hospital at the county jail. Germany has 2,110 co-operative societies.

WOODROW WILSON'S BIRTHDAY OBSERVED (National News Association) TRENTON, N. J., Dec. 28. Woodrow Wilson, governor of New Jersey and active candidate for the Democratic notmination for President of the United States, reached his fifty-fifth birthday anniversary today and was the recipient of congratulatory messages from many friends and admirers throughout the country. Though ten years younger than Judson Har.non, who is regarded as his chief rival for the presidential nomination, and seven years the junior of Champ Clark, who also is looked upon as a possible Democratic standardbearer next year, Governor Wilson's experience and activities have extended over a wide field. Governor Wilson was born in Staunton, Va., and passed nearly the whole of his youth in the South. His father was a Presbyterian minister and ing the boyhood of the future governor occupied pulpits in Augusta, Columbia, Wilmington and other cities in the South. The son began his academic studies at Davidson college. In 1875 he went to Princeton and was graduated with high honors from that institution. While he was an undergraduate at Princeton he began his career as a political writer with an essay on "Cabinet Government in the United States" that attracted attention, From Princeton Governor Wilson went to the University of Virginia w here he studied law for several years. Afterwards he practiced for a time in Atlanta and then went to Johns Hopkins university, where he gained a fellowship by writing a book on "Congressional Government." In 1890 he joined the faculty of Princeton and twelve years later he became presi dent of the university, which position he held until his nomination for governor of New Jersey.

The butchery of defenceless men. women and children ; has been stopped upon direct orders ; from St. Petersburg CRITICAL SITUATION. ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 28. A diplomatic situation of dynamic possibilities has arisen between England and here today that England has sent an ultimatum to Russia demanding a halt in the ravages of Cossacks in Northern Persia despite the denial of the Russian government that massacres had taken place. PLANS INVASION. TEHERAN. Dec. 28. England is preparing to throw an army into Southern Persia from Afghanistan and Ileluchistan as a result of the attack upon British consul W. A. Smart near ; Kazerun. The British foreign office has already made representations to the Persian government, that in view of the fact that Persia has shown her inability to protect commerce over the caravan routes in the south, more stringent precautions than this country can make are necessary. Although Mr. Smart was not killed, as was at first reported, he was wounded by the attacking party of Persians. Whether England will demand indemnity to defray the cost of moving her army, if invasion ultimately is carried out, is not indicated at this time. If England choses to follow Russia's course, which is unlikely owing to the storm of international protests, she will compel Persia to defray the cost of moving the army.
