WATER IN CANAL JULY | NEXT.
Dredges to Be Put to Work In CuIebra
Cut.

The Culebra cut of the Panama ca
nal will be filed with water on July l,
1913, according to an official announce
ment from Colonel Goethals received
by the isthmian canal commission In
Washington. AS soon as the water Is let
into the cut a ladder dredge is to be
brought from the Pacific side to clean
up any earth which may fall into the
excavation from the slides along the
cut. The dredge will also remove the
dixie at Gamboa. This wall Of earth Is
now the only obstacle which prevents
the rising waters In the great artificial
lake formed by the Gatun dam from
pouring into the canal
Next spring when all the work on
the locks has been completed the artifi-
cial lake will be filled to the eighty
five foot level, which will be the main

EXCESS OF MEN IN
THE UNITED STATES.
Census Shows 1o6 Males to 100 Fe-
males--Due to>-Extensive immigration.

The population of the United states
exclusive of Alaska, Hawaii, Porto
Rico and other noncontiguous posses
sionsJ comprised in 1910. according to
the last federal census, 47.332, ,277 males
and 44,63o,9S9 females, or 106 male
to every 100 females. In 1900 there
These figures are contained in n state
ment issued by Director Durand OF the
bureau of the census, department of
commerce and labor, and are based
upon n tabulation prepared under the
direction of William c. Hunt, chief
statistician for population in the cen
sus bureau. The figures are prelimi-
nary and subject to revision.
The excess of males in the United
States is mainly due to the extensive
immigra ton, II much larger proportion
of the immigrants being males than
females. In the foreign born white
population there are 1922 males to 100
females. But the native white popu
lation also has slight excess of males,
the ratio being 1927 to 100
In the negro population the males
are outnumbered by females in ratio
of $50 to 100. Among the Chinese in
this country males outnumber females
by more than II to 1. and among the
Japanese by about to /. The In
dians show small excess Of males,
1O35 to 100 females.
The preponderance Of males in the
aggregate population Of the United
States is most marked in the Pacific
and mountain divisions Gar western
states), with ratios in 1910 Of. respec-
lively, 1895 and 1919 males to 100
females. The proportion of males is
lowest in New England, this being the
only geographic division in which
there is a slight excess of females over
males There are only five states in
which females outnumber males
namely Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Maryland. North Carolina and South
Carolina.
OF the fifty cities having over 100000
inhabitants there are twenty-eight IN
which the males outnumber the fe
males. In thirty-nine of the cities the
proportion of males was greater in
1910 than in 1900. and in eleven it was
less. The number Of males per 100
females was greatest in Seattle Q36.2)
and only slightly less in Portland, Ore
134.5. Nashville shows the smallest
proportion Of males, with a ratio Of
500 to 100 females. OF the eight
cities having 100000 or more inhabit-
ants, Baltimore has the lowest number
of males per 100 females (92.4, and
Cleveland the highest Q06.6), but the
ratio is almost as high in Chicago,
where there are 1868 males to 100 fe-
males. New York cfty's population is
almost evenly divided by sex; in Phil
adelphia the females outnumber the
males.

A NEW AGE OF ICE COMING.
Professor Schmidt Thinks We May
Soon Be Busy Keeping Warm.


81 have no doubt that we are now
in an interglacial period similar to
those which have already existed and
in the future the human race will have
! 10 use all its knowledge in another
fight for its life against the encroach
ing ice" said Professor Nathaniel
Schmidt Of the history department at
Cornell.
Speaking of the ice age, he added:
81 wish TO call attention to the recent
discoveries in Switzerland Of four dis
tinct periods Of glaciation and to the
fact that Professor Winchell Of Min
nesota has been able to produce def
mite proofs that Kansas has gone
through the same four periods. This
is important because 1t proves the con-
temporaneousness of the glacial age in
both hemispheres."

grow strong and beautiful by using
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
