on the beds dead. The key holes and
cracks around the doors had been
closed with rags and the fumes of

The westward shifting of the star that
marks the center of population is traced
by Emerson Hugh in the December num-
Der of the Century:
It is curious to observe that the path OF
the star which marks upon the census
charts the center Of population, in reality
has followed much the same line as the
early west-boun9 movement. The star
moves slowly westward, across the Ale
glanies, as did the first pioneers. Then
it follows down the valley of the Ohio, as
did the early downstream population I'M
