hand, there was rapid decrease from
1880 to 1900.
1.-THE proportion of white children
under five years of age to the total
population decreased steadily, except
from 1850 to 1860, the number of such
children being in 1900 about three
fifths of what it was in 1880. The de-
crease during the last decade OF the
century was insignificant.
"The corresponding proportion for
negroes was at its height in 1850 and
1880 and except for 1870 was least in
1890.
''The decades of great immigration
and the Civil War showed the greatest
ratio OF decrease in the proportion Of
children.
1.-THE decades Immediately following
those of great immigration showed a
reduction in the rate of decrease, prob
ably because of the high birth rate
among the immigrants. The reduction
in the proportion of children to total
population during the century suggests,
but does not prove, that the birth rate
was lower.
1.-THE increase in the proportion of
children among negroes from 1860 to
1880 and the decrease from 1880 to
1900 suggests high birth rate during
the twenty years following emancipa-
ton and rapid fall in the birth rate
thereafter.
"The proportion of children under
five years Of age to women of child
bearing age increased from 1850 to
1860, but has decreased since then,
being in 1900 about three-fourths Of
what it was in 1860.
"The decline in the proportion of
children since 1860 has been less
marked in the South than in the North
and West. The proportion in the North
and West in 1850 was about five-
sixths, and in 1900 less than three
fourths of that in the South"

RACE SUICIDE INCREASES
Proportion Of Children to Adults
Steadily Decreasing
OmciaI Government Report Shows Some
Startling Facts-statisttcs In
Brief From 1910.

Washington, D. C.-That the proper
ton of children under ten years old to
the total poulation Of the United States
has decreased almost uninterruptedly
since the early part of the century is
the startling information contained in
a report of the Bureau OF CensHsof the
Department Of Commerce and Labor
Believers in the race suicide theory
have found in the report much in sup
port of their belief. The proportion Of
children under ten years old constitnt-
ed approximately one-third of the pop
ulation Of the United States at the
beginning of the century, and less than
one-fOurth at the end.
The decrease has been more rapid
during the last two decades than in
those Immediately preceding them.
The report says In part:
The decrease In the corresponding
proportion for whites began as early
as 1910 and continued unlnterruptedly
until the end Of the century.
Since 1880, when the figures were
first obtained, the proportion of the
negro children under ten years of age
to the total negro population has de-
creased. There was, however. an in
crease from 1850 to 1880. On the other

Heart of Texas" SEPT. II.

The Burlington Free Press says Of
1.-The Heart Of Texas" If the amount
of pleasure received from a pla y
speaks for itself success or failure.
The Heart of Texas as played last
evening in The Strong, was largely ac-
ceptable. The audience followed every
action from the curtains rise to its
last fall with attentivenesS, showing
its appreciation by frequent and
hearty applause. The play was one to
delight the hearts of all, dealing with
love and intrigue on a Texas ranch.
Its plot led Pearl Lewis, as Texas"
the owner of the ranch, through the
scheming of her covetOus ranch fore
man, into a den, where she was in the
power of the schemer. Allan Villair,
as her lover. happened around and
was himself bound and made helpless,
but cleverly burning himself free from
his thongs by his lighted cigar, he set
the house wild by escaping from the
den with Texas" This was only one
of the many strong situations in which
the play abOunds, the last act being
exceptionally interesting. ending in the
villain being killed in the most realis-
tic duel ever presented on the local
