EASTERN AND WESTERN CITIES

In 1910 the centre of population
jumped thirty-nine miles almost due
west. In a century it had travelled
485 miles in Zigzags, generally west
ward. This year it may not have
shifted much.
Many cities west of the centre seem
to have reached, for the time, static
period of moderate growth. Denver's
growth percentage is 20.1, but the add
ed population is only half as great as
in 1910. Spokane follows percent
age growth of 1888 in 1910 by slight
decrease Other growth percentages
are Seattle, 33.1; Sacramento, 47.3;
Milwaukee, 22.3; st. Paul, 80; Cedar
Rapids, 1873.
With these may be compared Pater-
son. s: Elizabeth, 30.3: Trenton, %;
Camden, %. Newark, 1876; Hartford,
1876: Bridgeport, 437; Indianapolis,
34.5; Wilmington, %; Dayton, 31.1;
Schenectady, 21S; Toledo, 44.3; SYRIA
cuse, Isl; Youngstown, O., 69.5;
Springfield, Mass, As.
Instances of phenomenal growth in
the further west are confined to small
towns. But Akron, O., has grown

people: Gary, 1924 per cent; Knox
Vile, 114,1, against only II for Nash
vile; Shreveport, La, 56.6: Columbia,
s. c., 42.6.
In the list of cities by size, Akron
moves up perhaps forty-five places,
Denver passes Louisville and St. Paul,
and a number of southern cities reach
higher classification. The great fac
tors in shifting population have been
war industries, and the fact that an
interior maret town and distribution
centre can grow no faster than the
development of it's local field permits.
With this the cutting off of immigra-
ton has interfered in every section
of the United States. The percentage
of increase for the Nation in 1910,
1913, cannot be reached this year

From the dust of more than 1900
years a studious modern DOMAIN has
rescued a pen portrait of Jesus Christ.
1t was drawn in one of the letters
that Publius Lentulus, who was q Ro-
man proconsul in Palestine and knew
the Savior in Nazareth, wrote to
friend in Italy.
There has appeared here man OF
strange virtue" Publius Lenthulus
wrote. His disciples call him The
Son of God He cures the sick and
raises the dead to life. He is very
handsome man and worthy Of all our
attention. His hair is blond and COW
ers his shoulders in separate curlS
and is parted on the middle, after
the fashion of the people of Nazareth.
His forehead is smooth and serene,
without marks or wrinkles: his
countenance is pink; his nose is well'
formed his beard is the same color
as his hair, is parted in the middle.
I'm his gaze is an expression of
wisdom and of openness; his eyes are
blue. but shine terribly when he re-
proves people; but in conversation
they are amirable His observations
are expressed with liveliness, although
he always remains calm. Nobody has
ever seen him laugh, but he often
weeps. OF good height and straight
figure, he has very beautiful hands
and. arms. His manner of speaking is
serious. He speaks but little and IS
modest In short he is as handsome
as a man may be. They call him
Jesus, the Son of Mary"
Expert antiquarians and students Uf
history pronounce the letters of Pub
Iius Lentulus to be entirely genuine.
For centuries they were forgotten
save by students of Latin and ancient
Rome. The advent of Christmas
brought the letter quoted to the mind
OF an old professor here. He trans
lated it into modern Italian and sent
it TO some of his learned friends as
historical curiosity 1t seems to verify
the belief that the Savior had fair
complexion and light hair, as many
of the artists depicted Him.

The dependence of Nogales upon
the train service was forcibly brought
home to the people of the city yes

than three gallons of gasoline per
car by the service stations of the
city. The action restricting the sale
of gas was determined upon by the
dealers at the regular weekly meet

sociation Tuesday night, in order to
conserve the % rapidly diminishing
supply. 0
That the situation is really acute
was demonstrated by the action TAX

to cross the entire length of Sinaloa
to attack Sonora, the Sonorans pro-
pose to meet them half way.
The Sonora authorities have made
it plain that they asked Governor
Iturbe of Sinaloa, to protect their

the request. So the Sonorans have
taken steps for self protection, even
to the end of invasion of a sister

GREAT WORK OF TEACHERS
Theodore RooseveIt's Tribute to Their
Services to the Country Surely
Well Deserved.

Moreover, as an incident to your
teachers avowed work, you render
some well-nigh unbelievable services to
the country. For instance, you render
to this republic the prime, the vital
service of amalgamating into one
homogeneous body the children Of
those who are born here and of those
who come here from so many different
lands abroad You furnish a common
training and common ideals for the
children Of all the mixed peoples who
are here being fused into one nation
atty. 1t is in no small degree due to
you and to your efforts that we, on this
great American republic, form one peo-
pie instead Of group of Earring peo-
Piles. The children, wherever they
have been born, wherever their parents
have been born, who are educated In
our schools side by side with one an
other, will inevitably grow up having
that sense Of mutual sympathy and
mutual respect and understanding.

working out the problems that we as
citizens have before us.-Theodore

Along the well-remembered streets
of Sequoia Bryce Cardigan and his
father walked arm in arm, their
progress continuously interrupted by
well-meaning but hnpulsivs Sequoians
who insisted upon hating the pair to
shake hands with Bryce and bid him
welcome home. In the presence of
those third parties the old man quickly
conquered the agitation he had felt
a this long-deferred meeting with his
son, and when presently they left the
business section of the town and
turned into a less-frequented street,
his emotion assumed the character
of quiet joy, evidenced in more
erect bearing and a firmer tread, as

ALGIERS RICH IN SUNDAYS
Holy Day Observed Three Times a
Weekly Followers of Different
Religions. ...... I

Although no fewer than three Sun
days are observed each week In AL
giers, writes correspondent, only
one could I'm any sense be called a
"day of rest" For while the prophet
enjoined his followers to attend wor-
ship on Sunday, he warned them
against allowing 1t to become a day
of idleness. An Arab or Moor, there
fore, will frequently leave his wares
unattended In his shop while he goes
off to the mosque to pray, and he sell
dom has occasion to regret this course,
cases Of robbery being extremely rare.
The French Sunday is typically
French. The Jew alone makes his
Sunday a day Of rest, his religion for
bidding anything save talking on that
day. A walk through the Jewish
quarter on the Sabbath will carry
ones thoughts back many years. The
picturesque groups at the street cor
ners, In their rich, flowing robes, will
recall many an Old Testament story
learned in childhood, for the Jew In
his oriental garb has very different
appearance from the Jew as We know
him in the West.

THROUGH the Souls Eyes.

Physical eyes may measure the pos.
sibilities that return effort In terms Of
dividends, but 1t takes vision Of the
soul to become a benefactor to your
fellows. Effort for personal gain must
be selfish beyond measure If 1t does
not benefit more than the first actor.
Even when 1t does not seem to be a
help to anyone there are reflexes that
are sure to reach men in various walks
of life. But the world needs the work
of the greater man. He may seem
mediocre to his fellows. They may
even coddle themselves into imagining
their own superiority. What he does
will show the difference. Intuitively
he will sense the need of the times and
without seeming to patronize he will
make people appreciate him as friend.
