sus Bureau Experts.
NO SIGNS OF RACE SUICIDE
Outlying Possessions Are Not Included

found to be almost l05,76S. LOG accord
ing to unofficial estimates by statis-
tciaus Of the census bureau.
This will mean an increase OF To-
7g5. $40 over 1910, when the pooula-
ton was 91,972, 266. The estimate toi
the 1920 census was made on the basis
of nm arbitrary increase of 10 per
cent
Census officials believe the United
States, as whole will not show
greater percentage Of increase than
that. The population figures for the
state of California, at 3,426,036 how
ever, show an increase Of 1O4S,9S7, or
AL per cent.
Final Figures Due Much Later.
From compilation Of state totals an
nounced thus far and from survey
of numerous county and city totals a
IS per cent increase is regarded by
census bureau officials as the best
available estimate, although the final
and correct figures will not he ready
to be given out before Thanksgiving,
If then.
This represents the smallest popu-
lation increase in the history Of tie
United States. due almost entirely to
the world war. In 1880 the p0pula-
ton increased 351 per cent over the
population for 1890. From that time
until the census of 1860 the gain eX-
ceeded 80 per cent every ten years
Rate of Increase Drops.
In 1870, the increase dropped to 266
per cent. Since that time it has de-
clned steadily until the 1910 Then
the gain was 81 per cent, a slight in
crease over the 2O.7 per cent gain for
1900.
1t Is not believed that the smaller
increase in population will be found
to be chargeable in any way to race
suicide in the United States. During
the years 1901 to 1910 inclusive, i'm
migration into the United States was
S,795,3S7 persons. while immigration
between 1911 and 1920, all figures be-
ing for fiscal years ending June 80,
was only 1927, 1866.
This represents a decrease in immi-
grafton of 2,SGS,021. This loss in i'm
migration would account for approx
mately three of the total of per cent
loss in increase Of population that Of
ficials believe will be shown by the
final figures.
Many Quitting America.
The balance of the difference be-
tween the increase of 81 per cent for
1910 and the estimated 10 per cent in
crease for 1920 probably will be ac-
counted for by an enormous increase
in emigration. For instance, in the
fiscal year ending June 80 1920, i'm.
migration was 621, 576 but emigration
for the same year was 42S.062.
During some of the years Of the
war, emigration was greater than inn
migration. In fact, the greatest emf
grafton known in the history of the
United States occurred during the
years 1910 to 1920.
Thus, it is believed, statisticians
will be able to show that the percent
age Of increase of children in propor-
ton to population was as great in the
years 1910 to 1920 as it ever was
