MAMMOTH CAVE DISCOVERY

Carl T. Robertson, naturalist. who

the yawning entrance we came to
fairy fountain. A stream of water
dropped from an invisible crevice In
the roof to an almost circular bowl,
six or seven feet in diameter, In
ledge about shoulder high above q

of the cave spring of this kind Is
a rarity. Beyond the fountain we

"SurpIus Women" Problem.
The surplus women" problem, al
though intensified, is no new one. Back
in 18O1-121 years ago-there were
1857 women to every 1000 men. In
1901 and 1911 1t was LOGS to 1000, and
now 1t is 1,095.
Nevertheless, this problem Is very
much In the forefront just now. News
papers are warning their readers that
IF every man over twenty found a
mate there would still be 100000
women left over"
But, according to the cold-blooded,
Unconditional census figures, on this cal
culation there would have been hun
dreds Of thousands of women ''left
over ever since 1901, when the first
census was taken. And If there
weren't any surplus of women, argues
the cynical publicist, where would
there be any range for masculine
choice? And what would happen to
the institution Of divorce?

LONDON CENSUS LEAVES QUESTION

observation-disclosures Tell an Interesting Story
of Course Of English History

This years British census, the re-
suits of which have just been an
nounced, throws LOT Of light upon a
great many problems; but it doesn't
settle the question which is most in
teresting to Americans: whether New
York or London is the worlds largest
city.
The administrative county of Lon
don, which In 1911 had 1921 1886 inhab-
ton, so that 1t now numbers only
4,483,249 persons. But the popuia-
ton of the "Outer ring" district of
suburbs and semi-rural areas under
the control of the London metropolitan
police, but otherwise belonging to the
counties of Middlesex. Hertfordshire,
Buckinghamshire, Surrey and Kent,
has increased from 2,729,673 to 1892
019. When this Is counted, greater
London has a population of 7,476, 1853,
as compared with 1881, 1858.
London itself, therefore, isn't so big
as New York, but greater London re-
tains lead of nearly 100000 souls
over the American metropolis.
The net result is that the English
man will continue to claim that
London is the greater, and that the
American will retert that if one Is 60
ing to include agricultural districts,
such as Jersey City and Hackensack,
New York would show 100000 or
so, to say nothing Of Yonkers.
Effect of War on Census.
Two factors in particular operated
to make the announcement of the 1921
census result one of especial interest
They were:
What figure would the war cut?
What would be the total surplus
wOmen?"
For four years and three months OF
the period covered by the census Eng
lish people were being killed off by
an agency which every one was GER
tain would figure in the next census
to far greater extent than In any one
In the past. True, to counterbalance
this there was a check to emigration
during the war years; but there was
also declining birthrate during that
same time.
Nevertheless, during the decade
from 1911 TO 1921 the population of
Great Britain Increased nearly 1000,
600.
The number of Surplus women
increased from 1,179,276 in 1911 to
/ ,72O, 802 in 1921. The increase Is al
most exactly accounted for by the es-
tablished total of 100000 deaths Of
and Welshmen In the
war.
The figures for Great Britain do not |
include Ireland, where no census was
taken this year. but they comprise |
Scotland and Wales. The Scotch re- |
suits were announced some weeks ago. |
The following table shows the increase
rom 1911 to 1921:

Rate Of Increase AT Per Cent.
The rate of percentage increase was
At per cent, the lowest ever recorded.
In the previous decade the rate was
1O.4.
While no Irish census was taken, 1t
is known that the population Of John
Bulls other island" is a diminishing
one. During the war emigration was
largely checked from it. In 1911 1t
had 4,39O.219 people, and fairly safe
assumption is that it now contains
about 100000.
The total population of the Islands,
then, is approximately 100000. In
brief the census shows:
Largest population in country's his

Smallest rate of increase ever re-
corded
Surplus IF nearly 100000 women.

APPLE HARVEST is
NOW In FULL SWING

The last day of September found the
Hood River valley apple harvest in full
swing. Growers in all sections had
begun picking. In most instances. fol-
lowing the picking of such varieties as
Winter Bananas, Jonathans and 0rt-
leys, grown in Quantities small in COM
parison with the two main commercial
apples of this valley, Newtowns and
! SpitZenburgs, growers turn their crew
of pickers into their Newtown trees.
! Spitzenburgs are usually left as long
as possible to gain much color.
But the early frosts of three weeks
ago have already resulted in an un-
usual coloring of red varieties of ap-
plies this year, and even Newtowns will
carry larger percentage of yellow
bushes on their cheeks this year than
ordinarily. Indeed, oldtime growers
say they have never seen handsomer
apples than are being taken from the
trees this season.
"The Spitzenburgs of the Hood Riv-
er valley are all premium apples this
season." declared H. +. Davidson, fol-
lowing an inspection of his orchard
tracts last week. "After a little pol
ish they glow like the fruit picked
from the young trees IL and Is years
ago when the district won its first
fame. This year, too. the apples run
uniformly to the medium large sizes.
The crop will be very desirable one
to market.
The apple market, however, so far
has been just a little disappointing to
many growers. The great apple fam
inc of many eastern districts, where
springtime frosts left the trees of mid
die western and southern districts
bare, caused the western growers to
look forward to a pre-harvest price of
an approximate So per box for extra
fancy stocks. Indeed, some of the
offers of several weeks ago at this fig
ure were flouted. For the past few
weeks, up to the middle of this week,
independent buyers were offering $l.70
for extra fancy Spitzenburgs. of the
size 1863 and larger, and the quotations
on Newtowns were 10 cents lower.
The offerings on Spitzenburgs were in
creased last week to $l.75 per box. but |
sales are rather meagre. There seems |
confidence among growers as well as
the buyers, who supply eastern whole
salers, that the price will mend, as the |
apples begin rolling in to consumption. |
Mid-Coumbia growers were never |
more adequately equipped with com
mon labor for the harvest. Prospec-
tive pickers and sorters have flocked to |
the district by automobile and train.
Every available camping nook of the
Hood River and Mosier districts of |
Oregon and the Underwood and White |
Salmon sections of Washington is the
harvest homesite of some motoring |
family.
Growers, although the number of
new packers initiated into the work
has been greater this year than ever
before, are finding difficulty in secur-
ing sufficient packers. Scores of Cali
fornia citrus workers have fiocked
here, but are Withholding their SER
vices. They are demanding seven cents
per box for packing. The average
grower considers five cents an ade-
quate maximum. Many orchardists
are meeting the situation by breaking
in members of their families at the
packing bins.

engaged in assembling steel girders
for a 3-span structure over the east

Mr.. and Mrs. Benson Fill Picking Crews

Mr.. and Mrs. Simon Benson are en-
gagged in the harvest of the apple crop
on Mrs. Benson's Oak Grove orchard
place. Last week they decided to fill
their picking crews. Mr.. Benson mo
tored to town in his Pierce Arrow
sedan. Mrs. Benson followed in her
Franklin.
The two big cars halted at the Apple
Growers Association employment office,
where forty or more men and few
women loitered, awaiting assignment.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Benson called for
harvest help, there was general
surge toward their cars. The big cars
were soon piled high with blanket rolls
and other apple harvest camp equip
ment. and the owners were taken on
as passengers. Mr.. and Mrs. Benson,
Association officials say, made the
time record in filling their harvest
crews.
