For q good many years now all
civilized nations have had the census,
in order to determine scientifically the
approximate conditions of population
at home and throughout the world.
Some of the statistics relating to the
proportions of the sexes in different
parts are interesting.
The total population of the world is
estimated to be 100000, 900, and the
proportion is said to be 1000 men and
$50 women.
The proportion varies considerably
according to the region. In Europe
there are, for each 1000 men. 1,027 wo-
men; in Africa, 1,045; in America,
964; in Asia. 961; in Australia, 937.
The maximum feminine population
is In Uganda, where there are LAST
women to each 1000 men, and the
minimum in the gold countries Of
Alaska and in Malaysia, where there
are found only 391 and $50 women,

AVOID sPREADERs OF GLOOM
Chronic crumbIers and Avowed Dis
contented Persons Are Never the
Best Of Companions in Life.

The chronic grumbler is not good
companion nor in any way an admir-
able person. We fly from her as from
a contagious disease. Nothing so GER
tainly affects ones spirits as being in
the constant company Of a person
who has q grievance.
The cherishing of discomfort with
our circumstances, business, dress. or
any other thing in life soon robs us
of beauty and marks the countenance
with the lines Of worry and - temper
that tell their own unhappy story.
Why anybody who is young should In
dulge in grumbling as a pastime is one
of the puzzles that never is solved, yet
such people there are, and we meet
them to our sorrow almost every day.

They object to having the windows

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE sLUM
Society Can Not Ignore Its Share Of
Blame When the Facts Are
Brought to Light of Day.

Children work out their destiny
along the lines of environment. II
two infants, one born in slum howell
and the other in palace, were ex-
changed on the day. of birth, each
would work out his destiny in accor-
dance with his surroundings. The
child of the howell would grove up to
the palace. The child of the palace
would remain on the level of the slum
howell.
While noted physician was making
these statements before a body Of
learned colleagues. jury in Chicago
found three boys, aged consecutively
seventeen, eighteen and nineteen
years, guilty of murder and convicted
them to long terms in prison. The
slayers were all slum products. Their
youth saved them from hanging.
Society cannot afford to wax senti-
mental over a murderer because Of his
youth. It's duty, in self-preservation,
is to infiict punishment. A part Of
this self-preservation duty. however.
is to prevent the growth of murderers.
In so far as society allows slums to
exist and other degrading influences
to be fostered. it is not without
responsibility for the criminal.
