Census Shows
Michigan Ages

Washington, ID. c., October 20-Ac-
cording to the census Of 1920, 29.9 per
cent, or about three-tenths Of the
people i'm the state Of Michigan are
either infants or children under Is
years of age; 81 per cent are young
people 10 to 10 years old; lO.2 per
cent, slightly over two-fifths, are men
and women in the prime Of life, being
from 20 to A years old; while pit
per cent, being As years of age and
over, are well along in middle life if
they have not reached old age.
The urban population as. compared
with the rural shows some rather
striking differences in age, the per
centage 20 to 44Nyears Of aye being
ASP for the urban population as COM
pared with 1928 for the rural, while
the percentage under 3 years Of age
is 27.S in the urban population as
against 1873 in the rural. These diff
ferences may indicate larger families
Of children in the country than in ur-
ban communities, but more probably
indicate the influx of adult foreign
immigrants in cities and the fact that
the native country children, as they
grow UP, have likewise a tendency 10
flock to the city, thereby adding to
the active adult city population at The
expense Of the rural districts. There
is marked difference also in the per-
centage 10 years Of arc and over
1910 per cent for the urban population
and 25.S for the rural. To sum Up, in
the country as compared with the city
there are relatively more children and
old people and relatively fewer people
in the prime Of life. "Urban,' it may
be explained, as the term is used in
the Census, includes all Incorporated
cities and villages Of over $500 pop
ulation.
Just about hc Of the pop
ulation, CO.,. pes cent, are old enough
to vote, beng 81 or over; and in this
class the mon outnumhcr the women
in ratio III to 1O0. The males Of
military age, Is TO a, constitute AS
per cent Of the male population ana
1913 per cent Of She total population

The use Of carrier pigeons is very

to the attention of Europe at Tie time

regular use Tor The conveyance OF IN

employed falcons 10 chase and inter

sions, and on others caught The tired
birds. subs Iituted misleading messages
for those ihey were carrying. and sent
them on 20 deceive the enemy. The
MOlammodan sovereign Nurcudln used
carrier pigeons for Welding together
the scattered parts of his empire. Al
though the use continued, it was not
until iho frauco-Prussian war OF 1870
that pigeons were again Of cOnspicu-
Gus public service. During the siege
Of Paris constant communication was
maintained between the beslcgcd city
and the outside world by means of
the carrier birds. Subsequently the
German, French and other European
governments established regular pigeon
corps and thousands OF birds were
trained and kept for use as mcsscn-
gers.

CARLSBAD. September 6. - The
Zionist congress brought its general
exhaustive debate to close with a
late session last night. at which DR..
Chayim Weizmann. head OF the
worlds Zionist organization. conclud-
ed with an impassioned defense OF the
executive committee. Throughout the
discussion the detection of some OF
the American Jewry constantly re-
Cured, and the general tone was one
of unhappiness that leading figures In
America had been allowed to become
alienated from the Zionist movement.
Isaac Allen Of New York declared
that the delegation from the United
States present at the congress did not
represent the American Jewry, when
such men as Louis d. Brandeis and
Louis Marshall, president OF the
American Jewish Committee. We're ap-
sent. The Polish deputy. Farbstein,
said the organization was not strong
enough to lose men Of the character
of Justice Brandeis. Peace would nave
been possible. he added, had not Mi
chael Ussichkin, chairman of the Zion
ist commission in Palestine, gone TO
the United States and interviewed.
Delegate Ruppin made a general oe-
fense of the resident Palestine ON
cials, particularly defending the
much-criticised land purchase as
profitable Investment.
The noticeably large number OF men
who managed to get through from
soviet Russia to attend the congress
had been increased by the arrival OF
the Russian Zionist leader. Burtzkuys.
