sayst-Fire started M the Armenian

spread rapidly throtigh the rest .of the
town, burning most of the European
section and destroying the American
Cons.ulato and the theatre where Am-
erican refugees were congregated.

control. The pr art dalnag°, it lo
estimated, will reaoh into the millions.
The steainshi.ps Winona and Edsall

400 and 800 relogees each.
Several stories were told concern-
ing the origin ,of the fire..
. The moat reliable 'is -that of Minnie

lege Institute, who declared•she eaw

officer, enter a building Where the

and how, many were trapped in the'
burning area, is urdmown. -

troops was also thrown around them
, The Turkish quarter was not
touched. It was the first day since the
occupation that there was a south-

flames westward instead of into the
Moslem arca of the city.

Thonqi inhabitants of Smyrna,
with a few exceptions, were eafely

French Statistics Show
Fall in Birth Rate
A desnatch from Paris says: -The
anxiety of the.French public over the
constantly decreasing birth rate was
,intensified .by the publication of the
latest statistics, of the ten largest
French cities,' showing the birth rate
had dropped ofT 10 per cent.: in a dingle
year.'
- In Paris alone for the first six
months of this 'year there were 24,00
births, compared with 27,500 for the
.sainc Period last year. A similar de-
crease w,as rioted, in Lyons, Bordeaux,
Lille, Strass.burg, Nantes,, Toulouse
and Gt. Etienne, Only Marseilles and
Nic:e approached last year's figures.
At this rate the decrease in the
population for the year in the entire
country, will reach the appalling total
of 80,000.This • has inspired The
Matin to renew its insistence that the
"public authorities and. Parliament
occupy themselves immediately with
.this national question, for there cer-
tainly is none mote urgent."

Red Blood.
Red blood runs thicker than blue.
, .
The first phrase Qonnote5 virile vigor,
stalwart .inanfulness and masterful-
ness, the aggressive stride or the' de-
eisive hand of one who knows his
mind, with whom to think is to act.
The second phrase seems to stand for
languid geitility: the pale, nervous'
decorousiiess of one who thinks that
Ole most perfect flower in life's gar-
den is the pinlc or propriety. Red blood
Would rather do than say; it would
perform instead of preach; it fights
shy of the namby-pamby, the ultra -
fastidious, the hothouse -bred and the
luxurious. It cannot breathe the at-
mosphere of the .boudoir; it loathes
effeminacy. Blue blood.. looks, back
forever 'into the ancestors. It cares
too much for heraldic emblems; it Can-
not find these in a pick and shovel, at
O thrcittle or a tiller, behind a counter,
in a warehouse era mill pr a freight
depot. It would not soil its delicate
fingers carrying packages or muss its
good clothes shouldering a burden.
But the man can ;be gentleman too,
It does not prove muscular fibre or
moral tisssue to be defiant of the
amenities, A Western miner was in-
vited to an evening wedding in ani
Eastern city. - His 'host, as the hour
of.the ceremony drew near, sought out
he
the guest, in great trepidation lest t
hardy laborer should not don the
proper garb for the affair. He went
to the deer of his room mid knocked,
prepared to offer lam a deess suit and
all that goes therewith. To his sur-
prise, he found the' "roughneek" im-
maetately arrayed, reading Scott's
"Lady of the Lake."
It will not do to assume that the
woodiander, -the," boatman, the field
engineer, the man whose "calling -IL is
into the open, cannot easily assume
"these treublesome disguises that we
wear" and look as genteel hs any
idling tailor's dummy that we . meet.
He .knows the value, on occasion, of
good clothes, but he does not make
the mistake of thinking that the fa-
cade is of greater eonsecmence than
the man behind it. He does not think
much of the sort of drietocraek 'that
prates of aneestry, and Iceenn refer-
ring people to the name and fame of
one who did his work and passed. On
to his reward a great many years ago.

Value of Quebec Crop
,! Set at $2257 0001 000
A despatch from Quebec says: -In
ani• official -statement issued this
rimming. G. E. 1VIareuis' chief statiae
titian of the Province ofQuebec, esti-
mates that the Quebec 1922 crop will
attain a value of $225,00,0,000, as com-
pared with $219,000,000 last year.
This slight difference with an increas-
ed erop is due to the falling off in
prices of agricultural products.
Preliminary reports indicate a crop
of ,„20,000,000 bushels 60 wheat for
Manitolm, with an average of from
18 to 20 'bushels per acre, adeording
to J. 1.1..Evarts, Dep. -Minister of Agri -
