For a 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, 1927 wo-
men; in Africa. 1,045; in America,
1854; in Asia, 961; in Australia, 937.
The maximum feminine population
is in Uganda, where there are 1,467
women to each 1,00O men, and the
minimum in the gold countries Of
Alaska and in Malaysia, where there
are found only 391 and $50 women,
respectively to each 1000 men.-Har-

AVOID SpREADEaS OF GLooM
Chronic orumblers and hvowed Dis
cortented 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 fy from her as from
a contagious disease. Nothing so GER
tainly affects ones spirits as being in
the constant company of o person
who has a 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 i'll temper
that tell their own unhappy story.
Why anybody who is young should in.
dulge in grumbling as 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.
II they happen to be passengers on
railway train they pile their bags
and bundles on an extra seat for which
they have not paid, are conveniently
blind to the WEAKNESS of other passen-
gers who are standing. and assume the
aspect of martyrs when the conductor
courteously but peremptorily informs
them that they must make room.
They object to having the windows
open, although the air may be loaded
with impurities from the congestion
of the crowd; they scold and fret at the
throng or the conductor and rail at
Providence in general because every
thing in life is not arranged with a
view to their comfort.

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SLOM
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. If
two infants, one born in a slum howell
and the other in a 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 grow 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 murderer because of his
youth. Its duty. in self-preservation,
is to inflict 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, 1t is not without
responsibility for the criminal.

GOLF CADDIES MAKE POINTS
Somehow, Following the Ball Seems
TO Whet the Observation Of the
Carriers Of Clubs.

One day as Mr. Buford was going
waved genially as he passed to a
caddie of his acquaintance, who re.
turned the wave with that nonchal-
ance of the gamin which is said to be
next to the ease of q cultivated gen.
tleman. The writer's friend observed:
81 see you know Mr.. BalfourT "Ou
-ay," said the caddie. "us consairva-
tives a kens ane anither."
Once upon a time in a northern
golfing city the law was administered
by a sheriff of great kindness Of
heart He had a favorite caddie, a
sad poacher In his spare hours. This
worthy was known on the links by his
Christian name alone. One fine day
In court the sheriff sentenced a
poacher who failed to appear at the
bar, SIS or three months. A warrant
was at once made out for the offend
er's arrest, the court rose and the
sheriff went to golf.
All that Afternoon the caddie carried
for him. AS they drew near the last
hole a policeman appeared and seized
the caddie. my hiatt" cried the sher-
In. ARE you the poor chap l SEN
fenced this morning?" It was even
SO. Sorrowfully the PRISONER depart
ed. The sheriff was heard to murmur:
IF | had only known" Then re-
Numbering his high legal office he
left the remark unfinished.
OF the caddie's contempt for lesser
callings than the golfers there are
many examples. A professor was
making a very poor show on the green.
The caddie eyed him loftily and then
sighed: Ay, ay, professor, we may
be vera fine at the mathematics, but

AXenQlnq the Birds.

Bird lovers everywhere will rejoice
to note the good and wholesome &C.
tivity of the authorities OF New York
In enforcing the new law forbidding
the use Of the plumage of song birds
and others of our useful feathered
friends. A recent laid eliminated in
large seizures of plumage illegally Of
fered for sale throughout the city. The
seizure includes 900 humming birds,
many gulls, herons and swifts. The
law, which bird lovers succeeded in
having passed at Albany 10 months
ago, provides a tipe Of $25 for each
piOce of plumage offered for sale. 1t
is to be hoped that no marcy will be
shown these viclators of a law they
understand perfectly well. and OF
whose passage they had all been no
titled. The slaughter of birds to make
women's adornment is mean enough
In itself, and when is added the harm
that is done by such killing to the
crops and fruits of all kinds by lessen
ing the number of insect eaters, the
thing is absolutely indefepsible.-Bos-

Charles Bauermeister, who has

signs of decay and, following direc-

thrived this spring, and today Bauer
meister picked several Of the apples.
He bit into one. and cracked off his
best gold-mounted tooth on q hard
substance.
Examination revealed that.the apple
had contained hard piece of con-
crete, which Bauermeister believes
was absorbed from the trunk. Bauer

pear to be similarly affected, and he

Definite VALUE OF CLOTHES
Writer'S Remarks viii Call Forth

According to Professor Patton of
the University of Pennsylvania, a girl
who spends $40 on hat, although she
earns but IS week. is more respect
ed than is a girl who wears a dowdy
hat and saves her money for her old
age. The girl who wears the $40
hat will receive more attention than
she of the dowdy hat, will make more
impression on the opposite sex. and
run Q better chance Of occurring a
life partner who will be able to sup
ply her with numerous $40 hats. The
question Of morality does not figure in
this controversy between the profess
sor and the women readers Of the
newspapers. From the millinery view
point. she of the SO hat is respect
ed because she desires to wear good
clothes and good millinery, and should
be encouraged to save as much as
she can out Of her IS per In order

1t would take me to train up a pup
to have sense enough to lead me
around. And then suppose that il
should spy a cat on the other side Of

to catch 1t. That would mean that II
would lead me out into the street

by an automobile or street car. And
just when | had become desperate
