The movement 10 establish "a fully

A study in the proportion Of sexes in
the United States is published by the
Bureau of the Census as Bulletin T..
The discussion and analysis appearing
in the bulletin were written BY Prof
". Il. Wilcox, OF Cornell University.
Some Of the conclusions reached are
OF much scientific and practical impor-
tance, and may thus be summarized:
The population CT Continental United
States was first counted with distinction
OF sex in 1920 From 1880 TO 1900 the ex-
cess Of males was greater at each cen
sus than at any preceding census win
one exception. that o. 1870, when the ex-
cess Of males was less than I'm 1850 and
1850.
This reduction Of the excess OF males
between 1860 and 1870 by about GO. 600 was
doubtless due 70 the deaths in the civil
war ana the diminished immigration
during the decade.
Excess in 1900.
The greatest relative excess OF males
was in 1890, when in each 10000 people
there were 242 more males than females.
BY 1890 this excess had decreased 10 PIG
Ia 10000. less than the relative excess I'm
1880 and 1850, but greater than that at
each other census.
In continental United States there are
] ,32l more males than females, or
about 2 in each 100 people.
Probably in the population OF the
world as a whole. and certainly IN that
half OF it which has been counted with
distinction of sex, there are several mil
lions more males than females
In continental United States however
the relative excess of males Is greater
than the average for all countries
Europe has an excess Of femalesi
every other continent, so far as known
has an excess Of males.
Small in the District.
The divisions OF continental United
States with the smallest proportion OF
males are the District or Columbia C47.4
per cent?, Massachusetts, (fS.7 per cent?
and Rhode Island (49I per cent; those
with the largest are Wyoming (62.9 pei
cent?, and Montana (61.6 per cent?.
AS a rule sparsely settled regions have
an excess Of males ana densely settled
regions an excess of females.
Between 1880 and 1900 the divergence
among the several States IN this respect
decreased and the proportion or males

and OF females in different sections be-
came me Sc nearly equal.
In 1880 about One-fOurth, and In 1860
less than One-sfXth OF the American
counties had an excess Of females.
2Iore Females in Cities.
American cities as rule have more
females than males. In the l.S61 cities.
each having in 1850 at least $500 inhabi-
tants. there were 20l .s59 more females
than males
Notwithstanding the great excess Of
males IN the total population OF the
United States. there are two periods Of
life at which the reported number OF
females Is greater. one, extending from
about efghty-three years OF age 10 the
end OF life. Is probably due mainly 10
the longer average life or woman the
other, from sixteen TO twenty-five, is
probably apparent rather than real. and
cue mainly 10 the greater number OF
women who claim, errOneOuslys 10 be-
long TO tins age period.
Negroes and Indians.
Among the negroes there are a few
more females than males; among the
Indians. a few more males than fe-
males. The marked excess OF males
among whites and Mongolians is doubt
TESS 4LE 10 tilN AllllAF4iEt "a
ton.
In all races and in all parts OF the
country there has been a decided in
crease since 1890 in the proportion OF
females among persons attending school.
This Increase is due mainly TO the in
crease in the proportion OF young women
among persons AT least fifteen years of
age attending school, the increase at
this age period being nearly nve times
as great as 80 any other and more than
three times as great as the average in
crease for all ages.
Death Rate of Males.
The death rate Of males IN the regis
tration area or the United States in 1900
was 1910 per 1909 and that Of females
1915 per 600. the former having a death
rate higher by about one-seyenth than
the latter. In the 346 registration cities
the death rate OF males was 200 and
that OF females l7.2 per 1903. the male
rate exceeding the female by one-sixth
IN the rest OF the registration area
! the male death rate was 1873 and that OF
females l5.0 oer l,OU0. the male rate eX-
! ceeding the female by One-nineteenth.
The difference in the death rate OF the
T! sexes IS apparently least between the
ages OF : and II, and the greatest al
the youngest and oldest ages.

Allison has been in the senate now
for over so years and prior to March 4.
1873, when he took his seat in the
chamber at the north wing of the cap
itol. he had been a member Of the
house of representatives for four con-
crosses. SO that legislation comes to
him now by instinct and he can accom-
plish more without apparent effort than
many others can accomplish with much
straining and strenuousity. He Is rs
years old now and he has been in con-
gress since he was 81.
Allison has a greater facility in shap-
ing legislation than any other man who
has been in either house or senate in
many years. He has positive genius
for parliamentary phrasing, securing
by an apt word or sentence exactly the
legislative result which he desires. On
a conference committee, where so much
of the important legislation of congress
is really framed. Allison is irresistible.
Without exciting antagonism or SEEM
ing to be insistent he almost invariably
secures exactly the results which he
sets out to obtain. With smile and a
suggestion he touches unerringly the
hidden spring which opens up what
looks to his antagonist as compro-
mise. but which in truth results in pre-
cisely the aim he had in mind.

said, finally.
All went smoothly for awhile until he

And he did, by the time he got out OF
