The reluctance of French juries to invoke the guillotine is a familiar thing in these days, bat it was not expected that-a-jury would go as far as it could towards acquitting a guilty man whom.unl. versal morality would regard as a monster. The whole of the French Press is naturally shocked at this new and extraordinary failure of the jury aratem.

The rate of world population in crease during "the past few years has been one per cent. per annum. and if that should be continued as against the old average of two- thirds per cent. per anmim-then the world will choke itself with population within two centuries from this month of October 1929.

Among the points made by Sir George Knibbs are:-

There can be little doubt that, as the world's population density increases Man will become more vegetarian in his diet, for this will better economise his energy and the earth space, per hest, he must occupy-

The story is the usual sordid one, bat ending in this instance in the atrocity of an ignorant servant girl seduced by the master and thrown into the street when her condition was known: A few pounds were sent her at the beginning to shut her mouth, but for nearly two years the young mother had to fend for herself with the baby in her arms. How good a mother she proved her self is shown by the splendid phy sical state and beauty of the little i boy. At length, finding herself pan niless and unable to find regular work, she wrote to ask for a little help. A family council of the De Rayssacs was held, and it was decid ed that an end must be put to this! scandal. De Rayssac motored to Carcassonne and met the girl, who had hoped that the sight of the child would move him.
