sT0RK GETS ON JOB
frances Birth Rate Shows Some
Improvement.
Serious Decline In 1918 from Year Be-
fore the War Was cavss
Of Alarm.

Paris.-France's declining birth rate
has lately been a source Of much con-
Germ, but distinct Improvement has
been noticed during the present
month.
Evidence Of great decline IN births
In 1918 was shown In official figures
for the district Of the Seine, which
includes the city Of Paris, which
showed that there are only 43,480
births registered in that district in
1918, as compared to the 49, 500 in
1911.
The infantile death rate given by
statisticians Is 40 per cent, as com
pared to 10 per cent before the war.
This has been attributed to the scar
city of wet nurses and poor quality
and shortage Of milk for bottle-fed
babies. The shortage is said to be
due to the tremendous increase in
cheese making, especially in Nor
mandy.
However, all the maternity bospi-
tails In Paris reported increased births
thus far the present month. In one
hospital the number doubled those of
last year, and it is declared that ba-
bies are remarkable for size, weight
and general health.
A new periodical entitled Marriage
has just appeared. 1t announces that
it will devote itsslf to the question of
the repopulation Of France. which is
generally recognized to be one Of the
most urgent problems Of the day. 1t
asks its readers, what means should
be adopted to combat the present mat
rimonial crisis in France?

CENSUS TO SHOW
GREAT CHANCES
Remarkable Shifts In PopMatioi1
in United States Because
Of European War.
CALCULATIONS ARE Upset
Figures for 1870 Expected - Reveal
Striking Changes In eFowth
and Character Of PopVia-
ton Of This Country.

Wasfsington.-Strik changes IN
the growth and character Of the popu-
lation Of the United States are ek-
pected TO be shown by the 1920 cen
sus, preparations for which are under
way.
The shifting Of population because
of the war has upset the calculation
of census experts who since 1877
have considered it useless to attempt
to estimate population Of any other
units than states. Before that 1t was
possible. to predict with q fair DE-
gree of accuracy the number of per
sons in any given locality.
The ncenter Of population" II h be
lieved, has stopped its westward move
ment, which was continuous from 17DO
to 1910, when 1t was located In Bloom
ington, Ind. This Is because indus
trial cities In the central east, such
as Cleveland and Detroit, have been
growing at a greatly increased rate
during recent years. as have many
featuring centers farther east. Fer
merly, the Rocky mountain and Pa
cifc coast states increased In popu-
lation with twice the rapidity OF east
ern and central states.
Notifications Are Seen.
During this year, however, certain
notifications of the usual situation
may be made. The opening of reels
nation projects in the west, the re-
sumption of immigration, and other
causes, it is thought, will change the
abnormal distribution. There will also
be a tendency to return to normal
now that the war has ended.
Pronounced changes are expected
also in the Constitution Of the popu-
lation"-the ratio of males to females,
the proportions of native and for
eign stock and the age distribution.
When a city experiences a rapid
growth due 10 industrial and con-
mercial activity the gain In population
is largely made up Of persons In the
young and early middle ages. Among
these persons there will be more men
than women. For example, In Okla
homa City, where the population graw
nearly 500 per cent between 1900 and
1910, the ratio of males to females
in the latter year was 126 to 100. and
g. per cent of the population was be- i
tween Is and As.
Percentage Of Negroes 0ropa
The coming census is also expected
t. show a continuation of the move
ment from the country to the city,
which has been going on for many dec
ades A further decrease In the pro-
portion Of negro population is ex-
pected In 1900 negroes numbered
11.6 per cent and in 1910 10.1 per
cent.
It is expected that the percentage
of foreign-born will show a marked
decline. due to the discontinuance of
immigration. In recent years the ma
tive-born population did not increase
as rapidly as the foreign-born. Fewer
persons will be found, it is predicted.
who are unable to speak English.
In 1910 this number was 28.8 per
cent Of the population.
The law requires the census bureau
to make an actual count every ten
years, and an estimate for cities and
states every year by arithmetical pro
gression. Since 1917, however, the bu-
reau has not estimated cities.
