CENTER OF POPULATION MAY
MOVE SOUTHWARK. .
Big Gains in Texas and Oklahoma
May Halt Movement Due West
Changes That Have Come.

Washington, D. c., Dec. Sit is
believed that the center Of popula-
ton, as shown by the census of the
present year, is likely to dip toward
the south, unless the great gains in
should offset the slower growth of
the middle west states north of the
Ohio river and as far west as the
Missouri The "farthest south" for
the center of population was in
1929, when it stood at a point six
teen miles north of Woodstock, Va
The total population of the country
at that time was 100000.
1t is interesting to note that since
the first census in 1890 the center
of population has moved from
point twenty-three miles east of
Baltimore to a point twenty-five
miles west of Columbus, Ind, a di-
stance of sos miles. Except for the
sheer drop southwark in 1920, this
movement of the center of popula-
ton has been steadily westward, al
most on a straight line, slightly to-
ward the southwark, which almost
took it across the Ohio river at Gin
ClludIll, Ill oOU. uC lOllSSSL uldfCu
of the center of population in any
one decade was between 1850 and
1860, when it went distance of
eighty-one miles, from Parkersburg,
w. Va, to Chillicothe, o.
The heavy growth of the south
west is this year, serving to check
the movement of the center of pop
ulation due west. The gains in pop
ulation in Oklahoma and Texas, es-
pecially the latter, have been enor-
nous and to some degree unexpect-
ed. These gains are in striking con-
trast with upper Mississippi val
ley states. The rate of increase has
also been rather small in the Ohio
valley states. This situation will
undoubtedly tend to pull the center
of population toward the south, and
as has been said, unless this move
ment should be prevented by the
great increase in New York, it may
be expected that the center this
year will go sharply southwark or
southwestWa from Columbus.

Bed rooms should be aired all

close windows, turn on heat in the
evening, to warm the bed, for you
should not deplete your vitality in

economy-the bed should warm you
