NOTES LAPSE IN COLORED
POPULATION INCREASE
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany Discusses the Decrease and
the Possible Results.

How soon will the colored popula-
tion of the United States reach a point
where there is no increase in its
numbers? The Metropolitan Life In
surance Company in it's monthly pub
lication asks this question.
The colored population of this coun-
try increased at the rate of 6.5 per
rate during the decade than ever be-
fore. AS there is very little emigra-
tion or immigrant ton of the colored
people. the company says, condition of
the population increase depends en-
tirely on the relation of the birth rate
to the death rate.
To-day the colored people are not
far from the point where the number
of their births and deaths will be about
IDENTICAL states the publication.
Decline in the birth rate among
the whites has been compensated by
a very marked decline in the death
rate, a condition that does not hold
good among the colored people. While
the birth rate among the colored is
now about the same as among the
whites the death rate is very much
higher. Perhaps the most unfortu-
nate tendency, the publication says.
from the standpoint of race increase,
which is manifested among the col
ered people is their crowding into
cities where conditions apparently
are very adverse to their multiplied
ton. In 1919 the ratio of births to
deaths among the colored people in
the cities was 104 to 100, while in the
rural areas it was 159.
s THE evidence is very clear that
what the colored people need more
than anything else for their racial
preservation is development Of good
public health work among them.
There were in the United States
10,463.013 colored people in 1920. who,
for their own sake and for the well
fare of their white neighbors, should
be given a greater measure of pub
lie health instruction and service
than they now enjoy"

planes by Bombing
Alabama.

Air service officials are concentrat-
ing their attention on plans for an
independent bombing enterprise
against naval craft in September. as
part of their program to educate
Congress and the people Of the United
States to the need Of a large and eff
cient aerial force for the country's
defense. The theoretical bombing of
Washington and New York recently
was a part of their program.
Using virtually every type Of latest
war inventions, including torpedo
planes. mines. gas and missels weigh
ing as much as 1000 pounds. the air
battleship Alabama, in the hope of
adding a new chapter to the inter-
service controversy which resulted
recently in the destruction from the
ar of number of former German
war vessels off the Virginia capes.
Army Requests Ship.
Selection of the Alabama as the
suit of a request of the Army. Act
ing Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt
has announced that the Navy De-
partment is dismantling the vessel.
and it will be ready to turn over to
the land and air warriors about Sep
tember 1.
The event. it was said at air service
headquarters, will be exclusively an
Army affair and efforts will be made
to simulate actual battle conditions
when the Alabama comes under fire.
For that purpose the Army asked that
the ship be turned over in Sea-going
shape. absolutely water tight. bulk
heads sound, steam in her boilers and
ventilating and communicating sys-
TENS in working order. A request also
was made that her magazines be
filled with loads of powder and that in
all respects save her useful offensive
armaments. which are being salvaged,
she be ready for action.
All Phases Of Attacks.
1t was said that definite reply from
the Navy as to the extent to which
the Alabama would meet these con-
ditions when turned over had not
been received. nor were the Army men
hopeful that they could obtain radio
control equipment for her similar to
that successfully employed on the
battleship Iowa during the recent
bomb tests. 1t is hoped. however. to
have the ship in motion, probably
under tow. when the Army airmen
oren their attack.
Army plans call for all phases of
air attacks at sea. Everything from
the 3o0-pound bombs. similar to those
first rained on the German dread

sent her down will be employed. it
was said, and in addition new smoke
and gas bombs will be hurled at her
decks from above. Several new
projects of the chemical warfare

tiles of the gases will be measured by
means of the ventilation system on
the ship.

A number Of clerks in the War De-
partment have established the Army

War Department to visit the camp
at any time. particularly on Sundays,
during the summer, and they are
told to bring whatever friends you
like, whether they are employed in
the War Department or not" visitors
are asked to bring their luncheons.
The campers will provide transporta-
tion across the river from the Syca-
more Island landing, about a mile
this side of Glen Echo.

TO TAKE THRONE.
Alexander Becomes King of
JugO-Slayia Saturday.
Wants to Make French Bourbon
Princess His Queen.

Belgrade, Nov. liking Alexander
will take. the oath of office as ruler of
ugo-Slavia tomorrow. Since his ar
rival here he has resumed active di-
rection of affairs. Reports that there
is probability of a change in the oc-
cupant of the throne are regarded in
this city as absolutely unfounded.
The prolonged stay in Paris of King
Alexander. after the death of his IA
Their, King Peter, was the subject of
much comment, but it would appear
that the young monarch had two ex-
cel1ent reasons for delaying his return
to Belgrade. The first was the neces-
sity for quiet and rest after an opera
ton performed upon him during the
illness early in July.
The second was his desire to bring
to a happy conclusion his courtship of
Princess Sophie, second daughter of
Prince Ammanuel, Duke of Vendome
and of Alencon. a member of the
Bourbon-Orleans family. It appears
at present that this courtShip has been
broken off because of religious differ
ences and the reluctance of Princess
Sophie to live in Belgrade.

PARENTS MUST Be BLAMED
After Warnings They Do Not
Watch Their Children.
Three Girls to BelOit in the Last
Two Days.

Joyriding is going to end in indus
trial school sentences for many To-
peka girls unless the practice is stop
ped at once.
This was the ultimatum handed
down today by J. D. M. Hamilton,
judge of the probate court. Judge
Hamilton has sentenced three girls to
Beloit in the last two days and the
cases of several more, to be heard
within the next few days, may result
in similar sentences he declared
The probation officers, it was stated,
will also redouble their efforts to ap-
prehend the men contributing to the
delinquency of young girls and place
charges against them that will result
in prison terms if proven. De-
linquency among young girls in To-
peka has reached such stage, it was
asserted, that prompt and drastic &C
ton must be taken to cope with it.
Warming Did No Good.
One girl who was sentenced to Be
lott this morning is / years old Some
time ago, aware of her joy riding pro-
clivities, she was called into the pro-
baton officers office and warned that
such actions in the future would re-
suit in her being sent to Beloit. She
was then paroled to her mother, and
a watch kept over her. When it was
found that she paid no attention to
the warning which had been given
her. she was called in and sent to the
Girls Industrial school
The juvenile col TT officials attach
considerable blame to the parents for
the delinquency among young girls.
The parents are careless, neglectful
and too much inclined to take a
chance that their girls will not stray
from the right path, it is asserted.
Lid on Joyriding.
In view of this fact and the grow
ing menace of delinquency in Topeka,
coupled nth the impossibility of
watching personally over every girl,
Judge Hamilton has decided to clamp
the lid on joy riding. Hereafter, when
the first warning fails and it is evil
dent that the parents are taking no
steps to control their children, the
court will proceed to exercise it's pow
ers and send the girls to Beloit.

TOTAL OF 1883 TOURISTS
Visitors From Many States Enter
tanned in Topeka Parks.

Tourist camping grounds in Gage,
Ripley and Garfield parks proved their
efficiency as assets to Topeka last year
when a total of / ,163 persons took ad-
vantage of the conveniences offered.
At that time the city and the citizens
were well pleased at the advertising
return on the investment.
But in 1921, during the summer
just past, a total of 1.450 tourist
parties were entertained in the three
parks. The personnel of these parties
totalled 4,853 individuals. Garfield
and Gage parks were given the most
patronage.
Statistics compiled from records
kept by the city park department
show that the average length of stay
for each party was thirty six hours,
and figures given out by the Cham
Der of Commerce show the average
expenditure for each party in that
period of time to be ten dollars. Some
of the parties stayed in Topeka, more
than a week, some of them remained
overnight only.
The park department, according to
Commissioner Robert McGiffert. keeps
a record of each tourist party camp
ing in the parks the record showing
the date of arrival, the names of the
persons in the party, the home city,
the destination, the license number of
the car, and the date of departure.
