sexes in the several native born groups
have not changed materially.
Why There Are More Males.
At birth the number OF males al
ways exceeds the number of females.
but male mortality is always greater
than female. Consequently, through
the excess of male deaths. the number
of females gradually approaches that
Of males and in the later years Of life
exceeds Il. In countries where the
death rate is high an equality is reach
ed at a comparatively early age, and
the subsequent inequality in favor Of
the females Outweighs the previous in
equality in favor of the males. so that
in the population as a whole there are
more females than males. In the
United States there is generally 4
lower death rate than i'm northern Eu-
ropean countries and the difference
between the death rate of males and
females is not so marked. The equal
ity I'm the number OF the sexes occurs
here at a later age than I'm European
countries and the slightly greater male
death rate does not overcome the ini-
tiaI advantage which the males have
at birth. The result is for the native
white population Of the United states
generally an excess of males. For the

PROPORTION is 100 TO 100 IN THIS
COUNTRY, ACCORDING TO
THE CENSUS su-
REAU.

+ Washington. u. c.. Dec s.-A pre-
liminary statement giving for cOnti-
mental United States the distribution
Of the population according TO sex. as
shown BY 4he returns Of the Thirteenth
DecenniaI Census taken as OF April IS.
1910. was issued today by Director Du-
rand Of the Bureau OF the Census. De-
partment OF Commerce and Labor.
In the United States as a whole there
are 47.S32.I22 males and 4Es4O.144 fe-
males. or a proportion OF 100 males for
every 100 females.
Considerable interest attaches to the
deviation from the numerical equality
Of the two sexes here noted. While it
Is commonly assumed that the two
sexes are equal in number. the fact T.
that there is always a slight differ
ence between them. Most northern
European countries show an excess of
females. The contrary fact i'm the
United States has been generally as
cribed 10 the effects OF immigration.
as it is well known that among immi-
grants males predominate To a large
extent. This is not the fun explana-
tion. as can be seen from a considera-
tion OF the figures by elements OF the
population as shown i'm Table No. 1.
The Excess Of Males.
Among the foreign white there are
1892 males for every 100 females. this
proportion rejecting the familiar fact
already noted with respect to the ex-
cess OF males among immigration.
But this excess Of males Is also
found in the largest single group Of
the population Of the United States
the native white Of native parents. or
the latter there are 25.22e.29f males
and 24.259.147 females. or a proper
ion Of 104 males for every 100 females.
This disparity is due wholly 10 natur-
al causes; the only other cause which
could affect IT is emigration from the
United States. and such emigration is
small and is certainly not greater in
case Of females than in case Of males.
In the next group-the native white
of foreign parents-the numbers Of the
two sexes are almost equal. with n
slight excess of females.
Among the negroes. however there
IS more noticeable preponderance OF
females 9s.9 males to 100 females.
The small group "All other i'm which
there are nearly twice as many males
as females is composed of Indians and
immigrant Asiatics. the latter being
mainly male.
Due in large measure to the effects
OF recent immigration, the proportion
OF males for 100 females in the popu-
lation as a whole has risen slightly be-

BY STEVENSON TAYLOR. Presi-
dent Society of Naval Architects

n" L seem no nearer now to
~ the establishment of an
efficient merchant ma
rine between this asd foreign
countries than before, and we will
be no nearer so long as the friends
Of such enterprise have so many
REMEDIES for the situation.
/ still believe that some time
the many clews now held by those
who would advance the prospects
of our merchant marine will be
modified in such a way that final
ly there will be one idea so sup
ported by public opinion that the
desired result may be obtained.
The completion of the Panama
canal is expected to INCREASE
THE DEMAND for coastwise
ships, and without any doubt this
should be the case, but we must
insist that all inherent rights of
the people of the United States
shall be preserved and held in
violable and that any treaty that
can be construed to interfere with
these rights shall be abrogated

MI Is, are there means by
which the vast sum
spent for the Panama canal CAN
BE OF HELP to the varied in
terests Of this country instead Of
furnishing issues of bonds with
which TO aid the continuance of
our present currency system.
Ny earnest conviction is that
we must return to our early policy
of DISCRIMINATING DU-
TIES AND TONN AGE
TAXES If we are to revive our
merchant marine in the foreign
trade, and I am sorry that l can
not see the advantages as condi-
