u. S. Population in 1920

Revised census figures place the
population Of the country as OF jan
uary 1, 1920, at 105,710,62O, compris-
ing 94,s20,915 whites, 1O,463,131 ne
groes, 244,437 Indians, 110,010 Jap
anese and 81 ,639 Chinese.
The rate of white increase for the
decade was 16 per cent, against 22.3
per cent for the decade 19OO-191O, the
decline being explained by reduction
Of immigration during the war. The
rate of negro increase, which is un-
affected by immigration or emigra-
tion, is far the lowest of record, due
to decreasing birth rate. Of the total
numerical increase Of 635,36S, nearly
three-fourths took place in the North
and West, only one-fourth Of the in
crease having been reported from the
South, which still has S5 per cent OF
the total negro population.

Lauderdale, some thirty miles north
of Miami, where they used a wide
stretch of beach. Here they erected
a number of huts in the true fashion
of South Sea Islanders. The fisheries,
cocoanut groves, and tropical vege-
tation needed for the general atmos
phere were all ideally located.
"Idols of Clay" casts Mae Murray
as the unsophisticated daughter of a
South Sea recluse and pearl snug
gler, who in time reaches the heights
Of London society and in the end is
rescued just in time from a horrible
existence in Chinese den in the
Limehouse slums. David Powell has
the role of young English sculptor
who has lost all faith in women and
his art, but regains both through the
devotion of the girl from the South
Seas. .

BORROWED A
FIRE ENGINE
Stranger Put Out Flames and
Returned Apparatus, With
Whole Force Hunting 1t

At Sayville, New York, early one
morning last week a fire alarm was
turned in and all the volunteers
turned out in record time and rushed
to the fire house. They were astonish-
to find the door open, and the appara-
tus missing. A searching party was
formed and secured the country,
while the telephone wires were kept
hot notifying surrounding towns to
be on the watch for the boldest gang
of bandits to appear on the island.
AS morning came on the search
parties returned without clue, and
started for the firehouse to decide on
a campaign. AS they neared the
house, some one noticed that the door
was closed. Inside, the engine stood
in its place, the hose neatly rolled.
An unidentified man had been driving
a truck near West Sayville, when it
caught fire. He ran the two miles to
the firehouse, but no one was about.
He found the door unlocked, appro-
priated the apparatus, drove to his
truck and extinguished the flames.
He then took the engine home and
shut the door, after which he went
his way. The firemen are satisfied
with the explanation, but would like
to know that mans name.

TO TEST BAN ON BIBLE
in PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Churches Unite to Garry
Washington State DEGREES
to Supreme Court

A decision is to be sought in the
Supreme Court of the United States
to determine whether or not the Bible
can legally be excluded from the pub
lie schools. Joint action by various
church denominations is being pre-
pared to this end by members of the
Presbyterian Church.
The action had its inception in the
Synod of Washington State by official
call of that body. R. L. Edmiston of
Spokane, a Presbyterian layman, is
at the head of the movement. He is
being assisted by w. A. Funk Of
Sunnyside, the Rev. Eugene A. Wal
ker of Spokane, and the Rev. T. d.
Acheson of Chehalis, Wash.
1t is because in the State of
Washington the Bible is officially ex-
cluded from the public schools that
the state is made the center of the
movement
The attack for the restoration of
the Bible to the public schools
throughout the United States will be
based on the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. The Synod of Washington
holds that the Declaration of Inde-
pendence is a covenant between God
and the American nation, and that
the study of the Bible by American
children is essential to an understand
ing Of that covenant and to the full
knowledge of God
In Washington State the Attorney
General and later the State Supreme
Court ruled in opinions that the Bible
was "sectarian" book, and that it
was unconstitutional to teach or read
the Bible in the schools of the State.

success was immediate, and it was not
many months until she was leading
woman with another company and
well on her way to stardom on the
stage.
1t was at this time, however, that
her beauty and talent were recognized
by several motion picture producers,
and she was made many attractive
offers. She finally yielded to one of
these, only to rise as rapidly in the
newer medium of expression as she
had in the old.
Miss Darmond is of a beautiful
blonde type, her features being par
ticularly adapted for screen work.

Opera House Offerings
PROVES THAT MEN ARE
ONLY GROWN-TJP ROY

1t has been said that men are only
little boys grown-up,-and it might
be added that motion picture actors
are even more so than most men.
Tom Moore, for instance, while MAX
ing "Made in Heaven" his latest
Goldwyn comedy, resorted to a little
boy trick, so that he could "do it
again." when going through a scene
he particularly liked. Moore plays a
fireman in this refreshing comedy
photoplay, which comes to the New
ark Opera House on Wednesday,
October 18th, and like all firemen he
slides down an iron rod, instead of
walking down stairway, when
travelling from one floor to another in
the engine house. Moore had won
derful time sliding down that pole.
So wonderful in fact that he fooled
Victor Schertzinger, his director, into
taking the scene several times by for
getting some bit of his action neces-
sary to the story.
