WASHINGTON, Oct. THE popula-
ton of continental United States is
los, 6S3,10S persons. Samuel Rogers
Director of the Census, announced to-
day. This is an increase of 13,71O,s42,
or 149 per cent, since 1910.
With the announcement of these
bare figures. computed after nine
months of work and at an expenditure
of several million dollars, Director
Rogers made public an analysis Of the
population trend, containing informa-
ton having vital bearing on national
life. Perhaps the most important fact
disclosed is that there are more per-
sons living in towns and cities than
In rural districts for the first time in
American history. Another result
shown is that the rate Of growth In
the last ten years has been slower
than IT the previous decade. This,
however, was due to unusual war con-
ditions.
One of the first uses to which the
census findings will be put is to make
a reapportionment of the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES. If the size of Con-
gress districts IS kept the same as ar
present the House membership will be
increased approximately by 60, giving
a total of 500. Increasing the size OF
the House can be avoided by increas-
ing the number Of persons each Rep
resentative represents, a course IA
vored by those who believe the House
already is too large. Which course
will be adopted will be decided prob
ably at the next session Of Congress.

The growth of the countrys popuia-
ton was not expected to show so large
a relative Increase during the last dec
ade as during the previous decade
ended with 1910 because OF the almost
complete stoppase of immigration dur
ing the World War and the heavy emil
grafton during that period. In the dec
ade ending with 1910 the total popula-
ton of the United States, exclusive OF
its outlying possessions, was 9l,si2, 10.
During those ten years the numerical
increase was the largest of any decade
in its history while the rate of growth
was 21.O per cent The gain in that
decade was four times what the total
population of the country was IN lfSO
when the first Federal census was
taken. while the total population In
1910 was almost % times larger than 1t
was In 1880
With the outlying possessions, the
United States In 1910 had population
OF lOt 1154S7 These possessions IN
Guided Alaska, Hawaii. Porto Rico, the
Philippine Islands, the Panama Canal
Zone. Guam and Samoa. and the total
Of nersons In the military and naval
service abroad was added. This year
the population of the Virgin ISLANDS
of the United States, acquired from
Denmark, is included.
The growth of the country's popu-
lation. exclusive OF the outlying pos
sessions, is. set forth briefly In the roi-
lowing table:
The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1920-10-08

census results make certain an Increase
in the number of Representatives OF
city constituencies and corresponding
decrease of those from rural districts.
This will be caused by the fact that
while the population In living In towns
of $500 or more increased 2S.6 per cent,
rural population increased only 81 per
cent.
one of the first questions that arises
in connection with an increase in city
Representatives is what the effect will
be on prohibition. In general rural
Representatives have been rabid drys.
While those of the city usually have
been counted with the liberals. City
men are also less inclined to vote for
laws hamstringing business than are
their rural colleagues. The increased
city representation will first make it's
appearance In the Sixty-eighth Con-
gress which will not be chosen until
| November. 1922.
The slowing up Of the rate of the
country's growth, Mr. Rogers ascribed
| largely to the hating of immigration
| for more than five years just preceding
the taking OF the census. That this
cause is not likely to arise under normal

WENT TO LOOK AT JAIL
RECORDS AND is ARRESTED

Don Carfello, an Italian labor fore
man of Flint, literally walked righs
into Jail here yesterday, and is now
locked up on a charge of abducting
the 18-year-old girl who is now his
wife.
Carfello, it is alleged, forced Cora
Griffin, of Owosso, into an automo-
bile last June, took her away and
married her, the warrant alleges.
The warrant for Carfello's arrest
was issued the day after the couple
went away, but the officers have
never been able to find him. Re-
Gently, however, Carfello started
divorce proceedings in Flint. Anxious
to make showing against his wife,
he came to Corunna when he learned
that she had been arrested and fined
some time ago for disorderly conduct.
He went to the Jail yesterday and
asked to see the records. Ee was at
once locked up. Cart Lilo says the

SHORT RURAL COURSE
PLANNED FOR NURSES

Lansing, Dec. 6.-Wayne, Wash
tenaw, Kent and Kalamazoo counties,
judging from present indications,
will soon be approved rural training
tenters where graduate nurses in
tending to do public health nursing
may obtain two months field work,
under supervision, and receive credit
for It in the public health nursing
course offered by the University of
Michigan. ....t,
TO determine whether these four
counties possess rural nursing or
ganizations of such character that
credit for field work can be given
by the university, a survey will be
made by Miss Emily Daniel, field in
structor in public health nursing, fol-
lowing suggestions made at a recent
conference held in Ann Arbor and at
tended by Mrs. Barbara H. Bartlett,
professor of public health nursing,
Miss Harriet Leck, director of the
bureau of child hygiene and public
health nursing of the Michigan De-
partment of health, Miss Minnie
Ahrens, of the Red Cross central div
ision, 'and Miss /. Malinda Havey,
state field director of the Red Cross.
Acceptance of the plan, it is said,
would give student nurses practical
experience in public health work be-
fore taking up classroom theory,
and would place Michigan in the
van as training center for nurses.
No other State at the present time
has so comprehensive a training
system. Expenses of the nurses
while taking the two months course
in one of the approved counties
would probably be met by the Red
Cross which has fund for educa-
tional purposes of this sort.
With few nurses already in rural
training and with well organized
counties able to supervise from 10
to IL nurses, Miss Leck believes that
approval of the rural training CEN
ters by the university and Red Cross
would add stimulus to public health
nursing throughout the state, would
increase the enrolment in the spec
ial course given at Ann Arbor, and
would furnish an adequate supply of
public health nurses to meet the
present demands.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
AN ECONOMIC SUCCESS.

Neutrality-suspicious. is heard in
the papers of the profits of the Pan
anna Canal" says the Republican
Publicity association, through it's
president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr. "In the last fiscal year it is
stated that tolls collected exceeded
expenses by $2,387,599. That is all
very well, but it does not represent
profit in any sense Of the word. In
every business establishment the
first consideration is to earn enough
money to pay interest on the invest
ment, and the next is to put money
into an amortization fund or else
write off certain amount for depre-
citation each year. After those items
are cared for then it rs time to think
OF profits, deducting, Of course, the
cost of operation. In reporting on
the Canal no account whatever is
taken Of interest or amortization. If
they were considered, the so-called
fixed charges would be many times
the receipts from tolls.
"The Canal was not built, however,
as a money making institution, but
rather as better means Of defense
OF the two coasts Of the United
States, and as an aid to American
commerce and to that Of the world.
1t Is successful In those respects. In
fact, it is not inconeeivable that in
the future the Canal may enable the
rapid concentration Of eur feet at a
threatened point on one coast or the
other and save the nation from dis
aster. Viewed in that light the Pa
mama Canal venture is a big eco
nomic success. It is a mistake to
lead the people to believe that few
million dollars on one side or the
other of the ledger amounts to any
thing. They should be led to look at
the project in the. light in which it
was conceived, and, in its relation to
our economic welfare and national
safety" m. .-,3: ..s,.
