Detroit's Population.

The census bureau is being flooded
with requests for information as to
the population Of various cities, but
nothing will be given out until the
official figures are published, which
will not be for several weeks.
There is intense rivalry between
several cities and a good deal of
curiosity as to whether Detroit will
reach the 100000 mark. 1t can be
said that it will not, and while the
exact figures are secret the census
wild show the population to be slight
ly in excess of 46S.000.
This is very close to the I vater
board estimate NJ 462.67S, given out.
The water boards figures are based
on the humSer or users of water,
computed according to an establish
ed scale.

The shipment from Seattle TO Ham
burg of cargo OF 100000 bales OF
scrap tin from the Puget sound can
neries furnishes an example Of indus
trial thrift in the utilization of mill
and factory waste In which Germany
remains preeminent. This once-reject-
ed refuse will return In due time in
the form Of little tin soldiers for the
delectation of the nations Little Boy
Blues" To Germany also go bales Of
discarded American stockings for re-
manufacture into cloth. We have our
selves made great progress In the
conservation OF waste since the first
experiments with cottonseed. A cows
hoof is now source of income to the
packer, and In the by-products OF the
oil as well as of other industries lies
considerable margin of profit. There
is no dross or rubbish In the modern
world even the street refuse of the
city has its potential value. The in
telligence displayed IN the CONNER
cial utilization of waste and the con-
servation OF such minor sources of
wealth makes all the more inexcusable
the long delay In conserving the ma
tions natural resources. In this also
We have a lesson to learn from Ger
many.

CANADA AHEAD OF U. s.

Canada closed the fiscal year with a
surplus in the postal service revenue OF
s293,700. The government attributes
such success to the fact the cost of rail
road transportation is very low amount
Ing to an average of s cents mile
where the cars carry mail clerks.
That such rates do not exist In the
United States is given the blame for the
enormous deficit in the postal service.
Canadian postoffice officials express
themselves freely on this subject and say
that the United States is paying too high
rate to the railroads for transporting
mails.
Canada pays for transportation on the
mileage basis, while the United States
pays on the basis of weight of the mails
to be transported
