STRANGE SIGNAL
CAME FROM MARS
Famous Astronomer Believes
InterSteIIar Communication
Will Be Realized.
NEW PLANET OBSERVED

Paris. March 3tl-Belief that the
strange signals picked up by wire
less stations recently come from
Mars is expressed by Camille Flam-
marion. the famous astronomer. He
thinks intcrstellar communication
may yet become a realized fact. but
he is inclined to believe It will be
accomplished by the use OF some
magnetic force which is not as yet
developed.
"Since the signals appear TO be
regular" he said, at is improbable
they come from the sun, although
our great luminary is displaying pro-
digious activity. 1t is possible, how
ever, the present chaotic conditions
on earth may be traced to solar
storms, which may have a reactive
effect on the earth and the minds of
men,"

Our Census Increases

North Carolina moved up to
1855, 4S6 in population during
the last census period, a gain OF
$50, 1879 or 15.9 per cent against
14.9 for the United States as a
whole. In 1910 sixteen states
stood ahead of US, but in 1920
only IA. In the South only Geor-
gia and Texas now have larger
populations than North Carolina.
Our increase was absorbed as
follows:(D Our 81 census-size
cities of 2, 500 or more inhabitants
received IT, S2, ~ our Ala lit
tie Incorporated towns and vii
lagos 1870, and 90 our open

Our cities grew at a 81 per cent
rate, against 1913 per cent in the
country as a whole; our small
towns grew at a 9.6 per cent rate
against 21.5 per cent for the
United States; and our open coun-
try population increased at a 9.4
per cent rate, while the U. S. as
a whole actually lost farm pop
ulation, 227,266 all told-this, for
the first time in the history Of
America. At present barely more
than one-third of the people of
the United States live in the
country, engaged in the business
of producing farm wealth. What

shall we be clothed has become q
