WASCnlCACO SIGHTED?
Many Think the Population
Underestimate.

Has Chicago been sighted by the
United States census enumerators?
A great many business men and pub.
lie officers believe that the govern
ment census bureau Is grossly under.
estimating the population of Chicago
by putting 1t at 2,497,722, when other
census takers in the city place the
population as high as 100000.
They pointed out that three cen.
suses taken within the last year all
give higher population than the
government. They were of the opin-
ion that the great industrial prosper
ity enjoyed in Chicago since 1914 has
brought thousands of new residents
here and established much higher
rate of yearly increase than the Off.
cial government census.takers allow
for.
Coincident with the announcement
of the government census records the
census taken by the Chicago postof-
flee was made public by Postmaster
Daniel Campbell. II places the popu-
lation at approximately 100000. This
calculation Is made with information
in reports of letter carriers as to the
number of persons who received mail
during the year. Postmaster Camp.
bell believes its accuracy is nearer
correct than censuses based on other
methods OF estimation.
Another census taken by the Chi
] cago Directory Company places the
population at 100000. This figure
is reached by comparing the ratio of
the last official population, which was
2,1S5,2S2, to the number of names in
the 1916 directory.
A third census in the report Of VIII
liam l.. Bodine, superintendent OF
compulsory education, gives the popu'
lation of Chicago as 2,550,0O0. The
report says In part:
BASED upon the minor population
conservative multiple which proved
the only one successfully close to the
actual federal enumeration of total
population in 1910, estimate the
total population of all ages in Chica
go in 1916 to be 2,550,000. The school
census in 1914, when the enumeration
covered all ages. showed the total pop
ulation to be 2.437,526, which would
be an increase in total population in
two years of 1l2,474"
Engineers of the Chicago Telephone
Company estimate the population al
100000. They determine this from
the number of telephones in use ant
the increase of telephone installa
tons.

OPEN These Streets
and HELP CHICAGO

Eight million dollars of new street
extensions, widening and connections
are in prospect for the great West
Side district of Chicago as result
of action taken by the Chicago Plan
Commission. The work will mark the
first unfolding of the Plan of Chicago
in its aim for better traffic conditions
throughout the West Side.
If the plans officially brought for
ward for prompt action by the city
authorities prevail, the following no.
table street projects will be carried
out:
Ogden avenue will be extended
from Union Park on the West Side to
Lincoln Park on the North Side. at
a width of los feet. The new dag
onal thoroughfare will terminate at
Lincoln Park at the foot of Lincoln
avenue. Estimated cost, s4,6i9,O00.
North Ashland avenue will be
opened as a through traffic way con-
Meeting the North and West Sides by
new viaduct and bridge connection
IL will become 100.foot street be.
tween Cortland street and Fullerton
avenue. The estimated cost, includ.
ing the bridge, is s1,275,000.
In addition the plan commission
directed its officers and technical
staff to complete plans for opening,
widening and extending both Robey
street and Western avenue through.
out the city. Ashland avenue is to
be opened, also. on the South Side
through to the city limits.
These three thOroughfares are
planned to provide much needed new
connections between the North, West
and South Sides. The estimated cost
of the Robey street connections, using
subways at the river crossings. Is
$500, OOO using viaducts and bridges
3,23S. 800.

PROTECT THE CHILDREN

More children have been killed in
eighteen months in the districts
where factories, homes and shops are
all iumbled up than in all other parts
of Chicago together. This fact ap.
pears in a statement presented to a
committee composed OF Aldermen Nc.
Cormick, Buck, Walker and Werner
by Aid. Merriam showing why the
city council should be authorized by
the legislature to create building dis
tricts or zones, as provided in bill
he introduced last May for recon.
mendation by the council to the next
general assembly.
MANY streets In the congested
neighborhoods of our city are used as
Fairgrounds for the children says
Aid. Merriam's statement. This is
especially true in the immediate vi.
entity of a public school The coming
of business establishments and fac
tories into such neighborhoods in
variably brings more and heavier We.
hicles and increases the danger to the
children from accidents.
"The number OF children killed
while playing on Chicago streets is
appalling. II we are to make our
streets safe for our children and re-
duce the number of little ones who
meet death on the public thorough
fares Of Chicago, we must segregate
our factories and our shops and our
stores and keep them away from our
homes. Business and Industrial neigh
borhoods must be kept separate from
residential districts.
"In addition to much desired re-
duction In deaths and injuries to chill.
dren and grown people, the creation
of business, factory and home zones
would bring about other important
benefits. II will protect against de-
probation of property values both the
home owner and the investor. It
would materially lessen fire hazards
and bring smaller insurance rates. It
would add to the enjoyment of our
home life by Kidding the places where
we live of the nuisances Of clouds Of
smoke belching from factories next
door, accompanied by the rafting and
clanking of machinery and the befoul-
ing of the air by foul gases. With a
general improvement of home condi-
tons will come also more economi-
cal and orderly industrial develop
ment of Chicago"

new CONSTITUTION
COMING

Supporters OF the move for con.
stitutional convention are confident
that the fiftieth general assembly will
adopt resolution to submit the ques.
ton to vote of the people.
Ten votes were lacking when the at.
tempt was made to put it through the
house on March 81, 1915, after the SEN
ate had given the resolution the re.
quired two.thirds majority,
Fifty out OF the ninety-two members
who voted for the resolution in the
forty-ninth session will return to the
fiftieth. The supporters of the ICON.
con" declare they know that they may
count upon not less than thirty-eight
of the forty.two who take the places
of the others being with them.
Twenty of the thirty-two members
who voted against the resolution be-
fore were reelected to the house
which, opponents of the plan say, il
better showing than the other side
made.
Sixteen of the seventeen whose
names do not appear on the roll call
were reelected, and it is reasonable
to suppose that most Of them will
dodge the issue again and be absent
when the vote is taken in the next
house.
1t is then necessary for the pro
moters of convention to get theil
strength from the new members. Thi.
they say they can do and they have
hopes of winning over some Of the
] thirty-two who voted against them II
the last session.
No pledges have been exacted from
the members this year, according Il
report. George T.. Cole, Shelby NJ
Singleton and their associates in tn,
organizations that always have beer
behind the convention move have
started to work rounding up thu
members.

DEMAND EXPORT DUTY

With abundance or everything in
this country the price OF living and Of
manufactured articles has increased.
The reason for this is the fact that the
foreign markets are ready to take all
they can get in the United States at
much higher prices than are now pre-.
vailing in our domestic market.
A big export duty is the only thing
that will protect Americans.

SECRETARY HILL SPOKE AT THE BOYS HOUR.
Says Average Boy Does Not Realize
 .t;s Value to the Home.

Over one hundred boys were pres ent at the boys hour held in the Y. M. C. A. building Wednesday after noon. Two reels of motion pictures were shown. One reel sho%ed the municipal system of New York and Tn the New York zoo. Secretary Hill of the Y. M. c. A. spoke on What is a Boy Worth? and said in part:
 While 1t is comparatively easy to estimate the value of material things no human being can property value a boy because of the fact that in every boy there is wrapped up unknown pos Bishop Brooks were boys such as you and no one dreamed that they had in them the wonderful possibilities they developed. What is the value of the boy to our city? Our present mayor but few years ago was a lad about town. and no one knew then what he would mean to this city. The Boy Scouts with their motto "A good turn every day" are a real asset to the city. The average boy does not realize his value to the home. Down deep in the hearts of father and mother there is love that the average boy does not realize. I have been into homes where the parents hearts have been well nigh broken because of the vacant chair once occupied by the boy. Though sometimes the boy feels that the par ents are too strict with him, yet aIi true rIrentS spend much anxious thought for the interests of the boy. Then the value that Jesus Christ places upon boy. It is related in scripture that when a young fellow came with an anxious question Christ looked upon him and loved him. On another occasion Jesus said boy was worth more than world
