The comparisons of the urban and
rural population in 1910 with that at
earlier enumerationa may be made
either with respect to the varying
proportions of the two classes at sue
cessive enuncratlonS or with respect
to the increase between enumerations.
In order to contrast the proportion of
the total population living in urban
or rural territory at the census of 1919
with the proportion urban or rural at
the preceding CENSUS, it IL necessary
to classify the territory according to
the conditions as they existed at the
period of each census. on the other
hand. in order to present fairly the
contrast between urban and rural COM
munities. as regards their rate Of
growth, IT Is necessary to consider the
changes in population for the same
territory which have occurred from
one decennial census to another For
this purpose the territory which in
1910 was urban or rural as the case
may be, is taken as the basis, and the
population in 1900 for the same terri
tory Is presented, even though part IF
the territory may, on the basis of it's
| population at the earlier census, have

ayoids the disturbing effect on com

passage. for example. of communities

URGE GOVERNOR
TO SIGN BILL
Regulating the Hours for the
Employment of
Women

bpecial to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, April Ga big delegation
of members of the Consumers League
of Wilmington came to Dover at noon
and appeared before Governor Penne-
will this afternoon to urge him to
sign the bill to regulate the hours OF
employment for women.

Grace Church.
Nearly every member of the delega-
ton urged the Governor to sign the
bill and set forth that. as far as they
can discover all opposition to it has
disappeared. They stated that much of
the opposition was due to a misunder-
standing of the provisions of the bill
and in furtherance of this argument
many letters from Wilmington mer-
chants and manufacturers have been
sent to the Governor and others were
offered this afternoon.
One letter in particular advocating
the bill and stating that previous op-
position had been due to misunder-
standing was signed by Howard d.
Ross, Lippincott and Company, s. H.
Stats and the Reynolds Candy Com
pany. Letters also have been sent by
the Crosby and Hill Company and the
h-Zollinger Company. General T.
