FRENCH POPULATION SHRINKS
Aside From War Losses 1t Is 389, 575
Less Than in 1917-"Flu"
Is Blamed.

Paris.-A continued shrinkage OF
the population Of France is shown by
the vital statistics Of the republic for
the year 1918, which has just ap-
peared.
Without counting the war losses,
the French nation numbers 389,575
less than in 1917. These figures affect
only the seventy-seven departments Of
France which were not in enemy oc-
cupation. They are the excess of
deaths over births.
The decline is attributed mainly to
the ravages of the influenza epidemic
in the latter half of 1913 from which
it is computed that about 100000 per-
sons died.
Compared with 1917, there was an
increase in marriages Of 1884; but
the number of divorces also rose from
5,572 to S,121.

Wallingford, Meriden, New Britain, New Haven, Bridgeport, Norwalk. Danbury. Stam- ford. Greenwich, Norwich, New London Windham Bristol, Torrington, Ply mouth, Waterbury and Ansonia.
 Towns in Class II. which are con- sidered to need Americanization to an extent yet to be determined, include Vernon, Plainf1eld. Putnam. Killingly, Stonington, Griswold. Colchester
 Class III contains the names of towns in which it is believed that lit tie. if any. Americanization will be needed. In some of them arrange ments will probably be made for part time local America anization direc- LOT, as the number of probable sub- jects is not large enough to occupy the attention of a director for more than a few hours a day. Among these are Somers, East Hampton, Portland, Saybroolz. Thompson. Sterling. Volun- town, Groton. Sprague. Montville, Waterford, Stafford, Bozrah. Lebanon. Coventry.
 As far as MT. Deming's investlga ton has proceeded he has been un abie to find need for Americanization departments in the following towns, which are included in Class ": Bo1- ton, Hebron.

 The value to you of these tests and records is that they have given the Packard Freight Trans portation Department clean~cut and definite basis for figuring the cost of hauling bulky materials.
 No matter what class ofwork you may be bidding on you will find many parallel cases within our experience. We can tell you what to expect in the way of haulage costs on your jobs.
 It is only natural to expect that the Packard Freight Transportation engineers have designed their larger truck units in the light of this unusu ally wide heavy hauling experience
 And you will find that the actual performance of these Packard trucks is tribute their rugged design and careful engineering.
 Certainly the business man who wishes to make successful bids with sure profit will be interested in Packard 100000 mile performance, Packard overload capacity, Packard reserve power, Packard continuous service-and the low hauling cost which these things insure.
