! WASHINGTON, Aug 19.-"Now
that you have the vote. what are yor
going to do with it?' practical poll
tician asked Miss Alice Paul, chair
man of the national woman's party
today, as they discussed ratification
iof the suffrage amendment by Ten
inessee yesterday.
1--WE are now in position to begir
our real fight" replied Miss Paul
What we have thus far accomplished
after years of strenuous effort, has
been merely preliminaries."
4 The real fight" is s1e to bring te
woman full equality with men, she
isaid. To do this, suffragists said
s many steps must be taken. An@ne
these:
] Consolidating" the ratification vic
tory by resisting every effort to undo
ratification, either by Legislative OF
court action.
| Arousing to their opportunity the
hundreds of thousands of American
women who have been Indifferent
towards the vote, SO that they will
use their franchise in beha.f o. their
sex.
4 Having done these things, to put
through in state and national lcglsla.
! lures mea sures designed to bring to
women full economic as well as
political equality with men.
/ If, in taking the last STEP il be-
comes necessary to put women in the
legislatures, in congress and in mum
cipal, county and state Offices that is
to be done.
! The immediate job is to secure
laws providing for registration Of
women so they can vote in the com
ing elections. In many states legis-
laiion will not be necessary, but in
some anti-suffrage states, particularly
in the south, the women anticipate
ever, Miss Paul said to force hostile
authorities to act without delay
For the second step, the suffra gists
will use the organization they now
have in most of the states to educate
and interest the women who, up to
now, have been Indifferent or slightly
hostile toward the vote.
Already campaign of education
has been mapped out and soon will
be in full swing.

AGED BUZZARD THOUGHT DEAD
Bird, Marked in War of 1912, Present
at Every Big Engagement
Since Then.

The famous "beled buzzard," known
to be moNs than one hundred years
old, is believed to be dead A few
days ago it was seen on the farm Of
w. II. Leach, near the mouth of Sec
ond creek, West Virginia. 1t looked
to be greatly emaciQted and ready to
give up its wdely-known career.
This buzzard has a small sleigh bell
tied around its neck, which was said
to have been placed there during the
war Of 1872. The bird had wars as
its hobby, and is said to have been
present at every battle of size north
of the equator. 1t has been seen as
far south as Peru, although its sum
mers were generally spent in the
mountains of West Virginia During
the Mexican trouble, several years
ago, It spent two consecutive sum
mers on the border.
Members of the Leach family saw
the bird flying low, with a number Of
other buzzards accompanying it. 1t
was noticed that the bird had got its
beak fastened behind the leather strap
which supported the bell, and seemed
unable to release itself. An attempt
was made to release the buz2ard's
head, but it became frightened and
flew away. 1t Is felt certain that The
bird has since died.

census would show the majority of the
population to be city dwellers-
For the past 10 years, ralral growth
was but one-third as great Is it was in
the previous decade, but theA cities al
most maintained their rate ~ growth,
getting five new inhabitants ilom 1910
to 1920 for each SIX added during the
preceding 10 years. All population cen
ters, even the small country hamlets and
towns, showed a greater Dropol TJonate
increase than the purely rural di stricts
The greatest increases, however, we've by
the cities of 10000 or more inhabitan is.
While the bureau attempts no EXP la
nation OF the reasons for the increasn 2
migration to the cities each year durna
the last decade, presumably higher
wages, shorter working day, home con-
yeniences, attracted the rural popula-
ton, especially during the war, when
wages IN big industrial centers went up
rapidly.
Although showing check in the rate
of population growth for the country as
a whole the bureaus figures indicated
that the complete census would place the
total number of inhabitants of the conti-
mental United States at approximately
l03, 768, 100, a gain of l3, 795, $40, or 10 per
OF this increase, it being estimated that
y, III, 800 would reside in towns of $500
or more inhabitants, while I,623,040
would be added to the farms and the
self the increase would be approximately
l $50 600.
Such a movement of the people will
| place the urban population at approx
mately 54,796, 100 and the rural popula-
| tion at 50972, 900. In 1910 the rural pop
ulation outstTipped that of the cities by
almost 100000 people, there being 49,
2f8, SS3 i'll the country and 42,623;3S3 IN
the cities.
For several censuses,' said the bu-
rcau announcement, the country has
not been growing as rapidly as the city,
but the difference appears to be greater
at this census than ever before.
The urban population increased at a
I,te of 252 per cent while that of the
rural districts, including the villages and
towns, under $500 population, was. "a
per cent. For the strictly farm territory
the rate was 80 per cent and that of
the villages was Al per cent.
Among the urban centers, cities eX-
cccding 10000 increased at 26.4 per cent,
hose Of 10000 to $4,000 at 26.7 per cent
and those of $500 to 10000 at 1873 per
cent From 1900 to 1910 the percentage
rates of increases for. these three classItI-
cations of cities were $50, 33.7 and 2l-8|
respectively.
Lip to 10 days ago the count of popu-|
lation estimated at s. per cent complete, !
had reached 92,09S PSI. For purposes OF
comparison beween city and country, the
bureau reduced the figure to 90,2S6,t42
