Uncle Harry Tails About
Uncle Sam s GrolUing Family

rs the United States getting over
crowded with people?" asked Jim
my.
''rhe answer TO that question"
said Uncle Harry, depends on
whether you are speaking from the
viewpoint Of New York city or some
little town in Texas. Uncle Sam has
a big family - considerably more
than 100000. .000-but he also has a
big home. Our country is curious
mixture OF overcrowded and con-
gested cities and THOUSANDS and
thousands Of square miles OF terri
tory where the population is so
sparse that sometimes the residents
don't see their neighbors for several
days-sometimes. weeks I guess.
Population Per Square Mile
Il can give you some very inter-
esting and very exact information
on this question. because the United
States Bureau Of Census has just
finished compiling figures showing
the density of population here in the
United States. Taking our whole
country over. there are today 35.5
persons TO each square mile. The
figures for the various sections, how
ever. are very different. In the New
England States. for example. there
are 1874 persons TO each square
mile, whereas in the mountain
states, which include Montana. Ida
no, Wyoming. Colorado. New Mex
leo. Arizona, Utah and Nevada, there
are only SO persons to every square
mile. This great difference in dens-
ity OF population is explained by
these simple facts: While the
area OF the New England States
Is 61,976 square miles, the popula-
tion is 7.4OO.90s. on the other hand.
there are S59.O09 square miles In
the mountain states. that is. more
than fourteen times as much space,

Presbyterian Agrees That
Only Spirit of Christ Can
End Strife
MODERATOR
ADDRESSES MEN

Special to The Evening Journal
WASHINGTON Nov 17.-This
city. used as it is to taxing a world
view OF affairs. is receiving new
conception OF the foreign mission
work OF the Presbyterian Church
through a three-day Presbyterian
Exposition in New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church. While repre-
sentatives of nine nations are here
discussing methods of preventing
war the Presbyterians bring forward
testimony to support the contention
OF the churches that the way TO stop
an war Is to have adopted by each
individual the principles OF Jesus
Christ.
BY pageant motion pictures, ad-
dresses and dramaucs the local
churches aided by the New Era
Movement Of New York, are pre-
senting the work OF the $500 mis-
sionaries OF this church in America
and sixten foreign countries.
In the Sunday schol room OF the
church booths have been erected
representing various phases OF the
work of the church. In the China
booth. for example. are shown the
drums and bells which natives for
merly sounded in order TO drive
away the evil spirits which caused a
broken arm or liberated stomach.
Side by side with these old medical
instruments" are shown the modern
equipment OF a mission hospital
which heals thousands OF patients a
year. The work in other foreign
countries as we'll as among the In
dians, Negroes. mountaineers OF this
country is illustrated by women in
appropriate costume.
Last evening the moderator OF
General Assembly. DR.. n. c. Swear
ingen. Of ST. Paul. Mimi, spoke TO a
large dinner audience OF Presbyte-
rian men. He told the churches that
there are yet no Institutions to settle
international differences because the
Christian people OF the world have
not demanded them.

No need to suffer from piles now.
Science has produced COLAC PILE
PILLS. Modern medicine has proven
that piles are swellings formed by the
dilation Of veins in the lower
part Of the bowel. AS the veins Of
the lining Of the bowel become dilat-
ed they form definite swellings with
in the bowel. These often increase m
size and escape. Growing larger, they
nav come down spontaneously when
the sufferer Is standing OF walking,
and thus prove a grave source OF
pain and annoyance. Eventually they
NAV stay protrudcd, though even in
that case they are strictly internal
piles because they originate in the
interior Of the bowel To drive piles
away, therefore, an internal remedy
is necessary.
COLAC PILE PILLS are not ca
thartic. Thov contain medicines pos
sessing ccrt9in properties which eausl
the piles 70 disappear.

FISK JUBILEE
 SINGERS HERE
 NEXT TUESDAY

The Jubilee Singers from Fisk University, Nashville. Tenn, on their annual tour, will be at the United Church, Tuesday. Nov. 22. under the auspices of the Senior c. E. Society. The concert by the Jubilee Singers will commence at S:15.
 Five singers. under the leadership of Rev. James A. Myers, constitute the group. The original grouD was organized in 1871 by the university treasurer, and has been kept as a concert troupe with new faces ap- bearing in the group almost yearly.
 The proceeds of the concert will be devoted to the school for it's mainte- nance and upkeep, and also to the Young Peoples society of the United Church. The music produced by the American negro is said to be the most original and unique form of harmony which emanates from any division of population or section or race in this country, and has a direct appeal to it's hearers which no other can reach.
 E. Frank Billin, president of the c. B. Society, is chairman of the evsnazl and has made full arrange ments for the concert. The purpose in having the troupe appear in this city is to give the public an -oppor- tunity of hearing the old plantation melodies and to arouse a more keen appreciation of their beauties.
