grouped geographically. thus permitting
easy comparison among neighboring
states.
Again, in the population statistics in
the abstract, details rs to each subject
are given for urban and rural m
ties separately. Fundamental differences
in Industrial and social life between cit
les and rural districts result in marked
differences in the composition and char
OF the population. In many
cases it is impossible to understand the
differences between states or sections of
the country except through this distinc-
lion between urban and rural population.
Very little use OF this important dis
@tinction was made in the population sta
tistics of previous censuses."
State Supplements
The most important departure from
previous methods of publication made
at the thirteenth census is the inclusion
with the abstract Of a supplement giving
details for the particular state in which
the person receiving the volume resides.
This new feature is likely to meet with
marked approval from the general pub
lie. 1t seems that the abstract is being
issued in some fifty different editions
with supplements for the different states.
This scheme combines the advantages of

results of the census with those OF a de-
tailed report for the counties, cities and
other minor civil divisions.

In line With this idea, Postmaster

In referring his decision, the post
master general held that. the object
OF the parcels post was tO: encourage
the mailing OF greater quantities OF
fourth class matter. 1t was shown to
him that much OF the merchandise

cision he held that such printed mat

That the new order will be of adj
vantage not only to users of the par

is indicated by the statement OF II

more than $1,000.000.

WASHINGTON, D.. G., IAN. ia

! Dana Durand, being the most compre-
hensivc ever issued by the bureau of
the census.
1t contains diGestcd and condensed IN

two million inhabitants of the country,
their race, nativity, nativity OF parents,
sex, age. marital condition, state or
birth OF natives and country of birth OF

value Of. the various crops, and the pro-
duc,ion and value of dairy and other
farm products.
1t contains statistics regarding the

The abstract is a very different dOcu-
ment from any ever published in con-
nection with the preceding cenSuSeS, and

Director. Ourand's Comment
In commenting upon some of the fea-
lures of this volume, Director Durand,
in a statement issued today, says:
among the new features of the pres
ent abstract is the emphasis that has
been laid upon the geographical divisions
of the country. On account Of the large
number Of states. it is usually very diff
ticult TO grasp the broad geographical
differences regarding populations. agri-
culture and manufactures by means,-of
comparisons among individual states and
particularly so when they are arranged
alphabetically and thus separated from
those win which they are geographically
related. For this reason the states lave
been grouped into nine well recognized
geographical divisions. Full statistics.
with necessary comments, are presented
for these divisions. Besides. in the ia
hles of statistics, by states the latter are

with yellow wheels and a green box, fits by
mysteriously and disappears behind the ridge.
And there is nothing more.
All, yes, it rains.
The steamer crawls through the canal, imned-
ed by the locks and dams. Here is another
Dutch girl. She is standing on the bank above
our heads as we descend. a Dutch girl in a white
starched percale cap, cream-colored kerchief
crossed upon her breast, with a black bodice, a
blue skirt, wooden shoes and blue stockings.

Out in the open Ooester Skelt, three miles
across, the yellow brownish water scarcely marks
itself against the banks Of yellow green, low
bikes, with long, long lines Of trees, whose roots
assist to hold the soil together.
We hug the edge. Along the bank there

mobile. AS it nears we see it is conducted by a
pretty girl in white. She looks like a bride!
The villagers run out, rejoicing. Who is she?

Then the little steamer quits the subdivisions OF

this bay was land, but long ago, in 1921, a tidal

Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any

my baby was given up by three
doctors who said that the condensed

ruined the child's stomach. One OF
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape

follows: l soaked liz tablespoonfuls

mixed IL te~aspoonfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
OF rich milk, put in a pinch of salt and
a little sugar, warmed it and gave 1t

Source of Strength.

We do not fatter ourselves that the
intellect Of our time, judged by the
power of individuals, is exceptionally
great No doubt, men of commanding
genius are still with us, but they are
not more numerous or more original
than in former times. What then Is
the popularity that has produced such
great results? In my opinion what
has been accomplished is due In great
part to the spread of higher education,
which has evolved an army of compe-
tent investigators possessing enthusi-
asm for research which now, for the
first time, is led into useful paths by
the few great minds, whose powers
thus receive a wider range and be-
come more productive. 1t Is in this
that u great strength lies.-Prof.

Early Wall PAINTINGS.

1t is probable that the earliest wall
paintings were those Of the Egyp-
tians. Those people employed a dis
temper containing dissolved gum and
their principal pigments were white
chalk, a vegetable yellow ochre. Eth
opian cinnabar, blue powdered glass
stained with copper and charcoal
black. The walls of Assyrian and
Babylonian dwellings were treated
in much the same way, and the prac-
tice was certainly in vogue in Assyria-

shawl slips off the shoulders Of a Quaker girl
If there be any left who wear dove-colored
shawls. l am thinking of Philadelphia and Penn's
Manor.
Here there are villages that do not know the
railway and their daughters do not know the
modern fashions. A village girl buys one fine
gown and it will last her fifteen years. Do you
thing she is not just as nice beneath it?
These girls spare no expense on their best
gowns. They have real linen and real lace and
fine silk stockings if they choose to wear them.
and each girl has a gold helmet. which is worth
from $50 to $500.
1t begins to rain.
This helmet is a thin and supple shell of gold
which snugly fits the head. Sometimes it is
scoop-shaped to let the back hair be coiled in a
knot, sometimes they plat their back hair in two
long queues. which hang down before the ears
on each side of the face; but the gold helmet
must be always there, though it be only seen to
simmer in the sunlight through the meshes Of a
kind of night-cap, also fitting snugly, which may
be of linen or of lace, in which case it has ruff s.
Each girl has her gold helmet, even those who
go to service up in Rotterdam, though when
they grow sophisticated. citifed and shame-faced
they first put on city bonnets over their gold he'll
NETS and white nightcaps and then later on lock
up their caps and helmets in their bureaus and
take to smart pink cotton prints for gowns and
wear coquettish rufHes Of gauzy tulle on their
heads, for all the world like London chamber
maids.
These helmets, horned on each side of the
forehead with long twisted prongs of gold and
dating back to when the Germanic tribes were
struggling with the Romans, are, together with
the bomb-shaped skirts, soon bound to disappear
and figure only, like the peasant costume Of the
north of France, in charity bazaars on city girls
instead Of country girls. who are abandoning
them for fimsy trash three years behind the cur
rent mode.
The air is sultry, like a gentle steaming in the
laboring MONDAY sun. Clouds rising above clouds
around the whole horizon meet at the zenith like
a dome. There is no end of peaceful hamlets,
pretty, tidy, busy.
We stop for the captain to make an afternoon
call. Small girls pass in procession bearing tu-
lips. Where to? What for? Mystery. We
steam on. And there is nothing more.
The river widens and the windmills and the
sawmills give place to shipping. Thensthe squat
spires of a city full of little unartistic churches
show themselves, and we approach the seventh
commercial port of Europe.
The captain says it looks like rain.
From booty Belgian Antwerp to Dutch Rotter-
dam and it's mild thoroughfares is all the dis
lance from the continental system to our Amer
lean responsibility. The town is Puritan. The
girls look at you with straight eyes, as innocent
Of coquetry as lambs; they are not like French

their eyes consciously. Would a French girl play
