ARCADE TO-DAY

The answer to the critics who lament
the artificiality of motion pictures is
"Humoresque." This photoplay is real
life faithfully portrayed. 1t has an in
tense appeal to the heart equalled by
few works of literature and fewer stage
productions. Last nights audience at
the Arcade Theatre, where "Humor-
esque'' opened days run, was al
ternateiy moved to laughter and some-
thing closely akin to tears. The pic

Perlmutter" and the pathos of 1.-The
Music Master
Fannie Hurst. author of the novel
upon which the picture is based. shows
| in ..Humoresque" why she is one OF
the highest paid and most popular
writer's in the country. The story is
simplicity itself in plot. Leon Kantor,
a child of New Yorks humble East
Side with a soul for music, is the CEN
ltral figure. Under the watchful and
flowing eye of his mother he develops
Into a world-known musician. AT the
height of his popularity. he goes tc
war and returns with a. wounded
shoulder that, the doctors tell him, will
lprevent him from ever playing violin
Iagain.
Music is Leon's life. Without it, he
becomes morose and. believing himself
a cripple for life, is unwilling to marry
the girl he loves. But in q wonderful
manner the clouds clear away and ne
lis once again made happy.

LONDON, Oct. 8.-Eng1and is ra-
pidIy becoming the educational center
of the world. A statement to this
effect made by Mr.. II. A. l.. Fisher,
the Minister of Education, is amply
supported by evidence. The warden
of the Student Movement House in
Russell Square told the United Press
that they had entertained as many as
200 students in a day, the majority
being foreign students attending the
University College vacation schools.
Men and women of every nation

also a large number of students from
India and China, the most popular
course with these students being &C.

IL. S. POPULATION IS
| OVER los MILLIONS

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-(u- P)-
The census bureau announced the pop
|ulation of continental United States
as los, $50. .10s, an increase Of 1870
842.
The growth of the country's popu-
lation was not expected to show so
large a relative increase during the
last decade as during the previous de-
eade ended with 1910 because of the
almost complete stoppage of immi-
grafton during the World War and the
heavy emigration during that period.
In the decade ending with 1910 the to-
tai population of the United States,
exclusive of its outlying possessions,
was 9l.972, ,266. During those 10 years
the numerical increase was the largest
of any decade in its history while the
rate of growth was 21.0 per cent. The
gain in that decade was four times
what the total population of the coun-
try was in 1880 when the first federal
census was taken, while the total popu-
lation in 1910 was almost 23 times
larger than is was in 1890.
Last Census Gave 1O1 1,1f5,4S7
With the outlying possessions, the
United states in 1910 had population
|of 1O1,115,4S7. These possessions in
cluded Alaska. Hawaii, Porto Rico,
the Philippine Islands, the Panama
Canal Zone, Guam and Samoa, and the
total of persons in the military and ma
val service abroad was added. This
year the population of the Virgin Is
lands of the United States, acquired
from Denmark is included.
The growth of the country's popu-
lation, exclusive of the outlying possess
sions, is set forth briefly in the follow
ing table:

With the announcement today OF the
country's total population, the bureau
of the census, under Director Sam l.,
Rogers, has accomplished only por-
ton of its tremendous task which will
continue to occupy a large force of
statisticians and clerks for the better
part of a number of years. But the
primary object, for which the fathers
of the country provided in the consti-
tuition that a counting of the people
should be made every 10 years, has
been achieved. That object was to
obtain the total population in order
that apportionment of the members of
the house of Representatives may be
made by congress.

That apportionment, as soon as Di-
rector Rogers certifies to congress the

couraging Reports From
Liverpool and the South

A comparatively quiet and irregular

activity and frmness in the cotton mar

ers. January was relatively firm, SELL
ing up from 1880 to 1886 and clos
ing at 15.72c, with the general market
closing steady at net advance of to

anxious to reduce their commitm ents,

manufacturing was $2,769 ,777. After
expenses and taxes these amounts were
equivalent 10 S1O.76 q share, against
s10.61 share for the previous year
On account OF the slowing down of
manufactures we doubt if the company
is carrying on any very extensive pro
gram outside its old business. The
company protested against the recent
increase in Pullman rates on the
ground that revenue benefits would be

and it was said that banking interests
we're endeavoring to induce farmers to
sell some of their wheat and take up
their notes.
Tho reaction from the high point of
