WAR EFFECTS IN VIRGINIA
COUNTIES.

VARYING effects. of the war on fir-
rinia counties are told by the de-
tailed census reports on the popula-
ton of the State, not yet published
but now available. Of the 244,747 in
crease for the State ii Che decade
1872 900 was in the cities and towns
of more than 5000 inhabitants and
$1,000, almost exactly half as much
was outside them.
Twenty-one cbunties show loss OF
population. The remaining seventy
nine have varying gains. The iars-
est gain is in Warwick, with ll,4l7
population, AMI increase over 1910
of 80 per cent. Much of this, OF
course, is attributable directly to the
intense war activities naturally con-
centrated around Hampton Roads
Probably considerable proportion of
the gain was drained, from the ad-
Joining counties of Elizabeth City
and York, which barely held Their
own, the former having now 23,14i
people, an increase of 1875 per cent:
the latter $780,, or 81 per cent gain
The Hopcwcll boom is indicated by
Prince George, ranking second IN the
State in percentage Of gain, the pres
cnt population being 1872, an in
crease of ST. Fer cent.
Arlington is a "war baby" literally
not only new born in name, hui
furnishing since Washington, just
across the river, overlooked with war
workers. Arlington's gain over the
old Alexandria'is So per cent, with
present population of lO,23l, aside
from Alexandria City's gain Of IT'S
per cent. giving her lS,050 people.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1920-10-18

The next largest increase is at the
opposite end of the State. Dleken-
son, on the Kentucky line and the
most nearly solidly white county
south of the Potomac, is credited
With 1882 population, gain OF
17.2. Wise, third county Of the State
none but Norfolk and Pittsylvaannlla
being ahead of her, shows 36.l per
cent gain, compared with ll.2 for
Pittsylvania and 50 for Norfolk.
Buchanan is next to Wise in per-
centagc of gain, with 25.2, which,
however, is more than seven per cent
less than the standard SO per cent of
normal natural increase.
INansemond is the heaviest looser
in the State, condition explained
by her proximity to the great war
activities on the coast and rivers.
She is credited now with but 20,l99
population, having lost 24.9 per cent
since 1910. Her immediate neigh
bors, Isle Of Wight and Surry, suf-
frred less severely from the drain,
losing but %.3 and AZ per cent, re-
spectively. The figures demonstrate
clearly that the counties which were
the scenes of war activities, direct or
indirect, gained substantially, while
those in THEN. immediate neighhor-
hoods. lost sevcrely.-Evening Dis

NATIONS

Questions Answered for the Woman
Voter.
BIZ Mrs. George Bass, Chairman
Woman's Bureau Democratic Ma
tional Committee.
/. What is the League of Nations?
1t is a union of the civilized nations
of the world (formcd by the Treaty
of VerSailles)-a sort Of intcrna-
tirHal society with headquarters in
Switzerland.
>. What is its purpose
The League seeks to bring about
world peace
(a) BY settling disputes between
/: nations by peaceful adjustment
instead of by war;

Republican jurist Elihu Root, has
been abroad for the task Of estab.
fishing this Court under lnstruc-
tons from the League Council.
9. But what if Il nation goes to war!
Then the nations in the League
agree to cut off the offender en-
tirely from all trade and inter
course. The Counc;i may "advisc'
them (only that TO contribute a
small share of armed force, subject,
however, to the approval of their
own governments.
10. What is ARTICLE y"
This Article states that members
Of the League guarantee to respect
one anothcr's territory and protect
it from external attack (thc same
principle as our own Monroe
Doctrine which has made for peace
on this contincn. Tor nearly a
hundred years.. 1t means that if
our country is in peril she may call
upon other nations in the League
for aid. Article X does not apply
tn domestic troubles, such as rcvo-
luton or civil war, unless the peace
of the world is thereby disturbed.
II. Can the United States declare
war without consent of Congress?
NO, Congress by our Constitution
is the only pswcr IN this country
having authority to declare war.
But first, within the League it.
self, the United States by its right
of veto may refuse to enter any
war.
2. Why do Women want a League of
Nations?
Because it saves the mothers Of |
the future from sacrificing their
sons to war. Because it is the
only practical working plan to re-
place conflict, bloodshed and sor-
row by peace and goodwill.

TN DRESSING the miss from six to
L sixteen almost everyone agrees that
she looks her best in simple frocks.
Simplicity is the foundation of styles
as they are created for her by people
who give their talent and time to a
task that is a long way from easy.
Two white frocks for girls from twelve
to sixteen years, the efforts of experts,
are shown here for the benefit of
mothers who must settle the matter
or dresses for graduation day and
other days. These models can be
made up in any of the lovely colors In
organdie or voile.
This frock is made with plain
blouse and straight, moderately full
skirt. Instead of tucks. there are
wide bands about both the bodice and
skirt set on the underside and hem
stitched to place. A color might be
used in these bands but there is an
advantage In all-white, since 1t can be
worn over colored underslips as well
as over white. and two or three slips
provided for the same dress. The
