DECREASE In POPULATION :
In BAHAMA ISLANDS is
SHOWN BY LATE CENSUS

Nassau, Bahamas, Sept. 13.-The
bahama Islands, the British colony
lying off the Atlantic coast, show Il
decrease in population during the last
ten years, principally on account OF
emigration to Florida. This is the
first decline in numbers in the record
ed history of the colony.
The census just announced places
the population at 55,944, which marks
a decrease of 1913 or So per cent
since 1911. Demand for labor in the
United States is regarded as the
cause.
Watlings Island, where Columbus is
believed to have first Sc foot on the
New World, showed an increase in
population. Its total was Csc people
OF SO more than ten years ago.
The Bimini Islands. where much Ii
quor was sent from the United States
when it went dry. has population of
6lO people, an increase of 1874 in the

ONLY THE RICH
CAN ENJOY LIFE
AT DEAUVILLE
1t Takes ''Deau" To Keep Things
Going With Rooms $50
Francs and Up

Deauville, France, Sept. Is Amer
leans in Deauville this year outnum-
Der all other foreign nationalities rep
resented and have given to this FAM
Gus French seaside resort a distinctly
American atmosphere. Many of the
best known jazz bands of the CONT
nent have been concentrated here for
the August season and the cocktail
has competed with afternoon tea at
most of the fashionable cafes.
Despite the american invasion"
Deauville retails it's reputation as the
smartest international gathering place
on the continent. English visitors are
second in attendance and every other
nation of consequence has its tourist
delegation here.
The Casino, where one may lose or
win fortune on the roll of ball
or the flash of card, is the magnet
for all. Every night and well towards
the breakfast time of the average
American. visitors crowd the tables
Most of them play for reasonable
stakes but few plungers have devel-
oped. English-speaking attendants
have been placed at most of the tables
to encourage" Americans to try their
luck.
All except the wealthiest of French
people have contented themselves
with one day visits to Deauville this
year. The reason is the excessive
prices charged by hotels and restaur-
ants. One thousand francs is only
meal ticket" at Deauville. This is a
popular expression among those who
have been to Deauville, and there
seems to be more truth than fiction in
it. There are few rooms at less than
$50 francs a day and suits of two
small rooms cost anywhere from 500
to 1000 francs.
But the Americans are rich and do
not mind and the others-well. they
can go to other resorts" say Deau-
vile proprietors, and. Judging from
the number of Americans there, the
proprietors seem to be right.
