WASHINGTON1, Feb.r23. The inter etate commerce committee of the house today in reporting favorably on the bill carrying $708,000 to authorize aids to navigation, included $50,000 for such purposes on the coast of Florida and approaches to .Key West.. Twelve of the beacons marking the Florida reefs were destroyed by the hurricane ot 1919 and the others are jn bad condition, the report declared. T'lese are among the most important jninor aids to navigation in the world and assist In marking the Florida reefs for a distance of 135 miles," the report said. Key West, the report continued, is now one of the largest seaports of the United States and its exports amount to over $80,000,000 per year and Imports over $8,000,000. The report . also set forth that Key West "is an extremely important military and naval 'base and a submarine base is now in course of preparation for which an expenditure of $2,000,000 has been authorized." It is now proposed, the report con tinued, to establish a complete system of range lights on permanent struc tures which will not be destroyed or displaced by the hurricanes "that fre quently strike this port." 1 EUROPEAN NEWS AND VIEWS (Continued from Page Four) is really history, the rest is for scholars and learned men. This is what the Americans need, pays the writer. . Our great men must be sent to them, and especially those who ap peal to popular imagination. General Nivelle's mission to the United States has been a pr eat success; we must not ioi'KCt that the Germans are very busy trying: to influence the United States; hut they cannot send conqueror gen erals. We can do it, and we must not hesitate to do so. We must know how to consolidate the prestige of France. Whether diplomatists or in ternationalists like it or not, for many years only those Frenchmen should be exported who wear a commanding of ficer's uniform." - Women's Smoker (Jillingham, in Kent, is the first of Kngrland's small towns to hold a women's smoklnc concert, reports the London News." f The event took place on Saturday, and is stated to have been a pro nounced success,, although what Mrs. Grundy and maiden aunts think about it, goodness only knows! Of course, women can smoke practi cally everywhere now without attracting- more than passing, attention. Tears apo only Paris women smoked, then London followed suit, and from London the habit spread to the provinces. Ten years ago . one never saw a woman smoking in restaurants- in towns outside London. Now every where in .the- provincial towns women light up their cigarettes when. lunch ing in public as freely as.they would do at home, although in two popular reports in a larffe provincial city no tices abound with the message "Indies are requested not jto smoke." Xow, smoking -concerts, which origi nated in London with the Forum Club last year, have reached the country. AOnTH CAROLINA HAS THE HIGHEST BIRTHRATE AT ALL tPnecfnl to The Star) Tl AIjEIGH, Feb. 2. North Carolina now leads the entire United . States with the highest birthrate in the union according to statistics for 1920 Just compiled by the state board of health. At the same time this state has one of the lowest death rates. Reports during1 the past year show a total of 83,966 births in the state, a rate of 32.8 per thousand. The deaths totaled for the same period 33,228, a rate of 12.9 per thousand. These fig ures do not include the stillbirths, which amounted to 4,171 for the year. Dxiring 1920 every six minutes saw a new life born into the world; every 16 minutes another life was snapped off. That the births are so far-In excess of the deaths accounts for the large In crease in the population of the. state during the last decade as shown by the census figures, for the state has had little increase by reason of immigra tion, v A comparison for the past three years hows th following: 1918, total births 76,175. or rate of 30.8. and total deaths 42.411, or rate of 17.6; 1919, total births M.791, or rate of 29.3, and total deaths "0,114, or rate of 12.4. The, very high leath rate for 1918 was -caused .by the epidemic of influenza, and this prob ably also accounts for the lessened 'ftp 0f both births and deaths during the fojlowing year of 1919. In 1920 the birth rate went forward ,consider ably, while the death rate shows a dif ference of only five per hundred thou sand. North Carolina has been exceeded in T'irth rate heretofore only by ' Utah, which In 1918 had a rate of 31.9 The rate for the entire registration area "t the country the same year was 24.4. For the same year the death rate for the same area was 18.2.
