POPULATIONS GROWTH.
(Bradstreet's)

Estimates made by the Census Blu
reau experts indicate that the popula-
ton of the continental United States
is growing at an average rate of over
100000 a year. According to their
figures, the population on July last
was 100, 1893 ,31S, and on January 1 last
l01, 20S,3l5, or a gain of l,617,9S4 for
The twelve months. For the curious in
those matters the bureau furnishes
calculations indicating that the pop
ulation of the country is increasing
at the rate of ABB persons a day, 1874
an hour and l-5 a minute. 1t is
proper to say that the Census Blu
rcau estimates are based upon the
rate of increase between the census Of
1900 and 1910. As a matter of cOntem-
poraneous human interest, it may be
noted that in calculating figures of
per capita circulation the treasury eX-
perts use somewhat larger estimates
OF population, their figure for January
last being lO1, $4,000, or in round
numbers 36S,000 in excess of that
given by the census experts for that
date According to the Census Blu
reau, the western states have led in
the rate growth, Washington heading
the list, with Oklahoma, Nevada, North
Dakota and New Mexico following, in
the order named. 1t is worth while
to notice that there is a considerable
variance between the figures given by
the Census Bureau experts for the
population of New York state and that
arrived at by the state enumerators
last year. The population of the
state as figured by the latter as of
the date June /, 1915, was 1852, 254
The national census officials estimate
that the population of the state on
July l, just one month later, was 49,
0S0, 56S. There is here a difference of
over $4,000, and that on the basis of
a calculation allowing an increase of
10000 a year. 1t may be noted that
the police census in New York city
showed a considerably greater num-
Der than that revealed by the state
census.

Mr.. Frederick Upham Adams ha:
been making a study of the problem
concerning the respective rights OF
pedestrians and automobilists, and
he comes to the conclusion that it is
one that will require the best thought
OF the authorities who are called upon
to provide traffic regulations for our
large cities. lie estimates that ii will
only be a question of time when we
shall have 100000 automobiles in
this country and that We ought to
make ready for the best possible
manner of handling the situation.
With each new method of conveyance
there has naturally be increased dan
ger to life and limb. 1t was so with
steam railroads and il was the case
with the introduction of the trolleys in
large cities. Even with these accepted
modes of transportation the menace
has by no means disappeared. In
deed, there were 5000 deaths from
railroad accidents last year, although
steam roads have been In operation
for more than half a century, and it
would be supposed that people would
be familiar with their danger and
prepared to guard against ii.
This brings up the thought that peo-
pie are largely responsible for auto
mobile accidents from their own care

customed to the machines. to be sure,
but this is one of the cases where ia
miliarity is apt is breed contempt. Mr.
Adams says that ii is a common ex-
perience for pedestrians to walk into a
car when it is standing stock still
lie says there are individuals who,
when they start to cross a street fill

and drop into a peaceful slumber from
which no sounding horn can arouse

one-sided, of course. There are reck-
less drivers who seem to think that
pedestrians have no rights at all But
such cases can be cared for by the
law. The great need is for traffic reg
