 The idea that Charles Evans Hughes, Secretary of State reads only heavy books was dispraved the othe day by the librarioa of Brown university, who gave a list Of books that Secretary Hughes has leaG.
 In his liking for light reading Mr. Hughes is not exceptional among statesmen. Most public men uailicn- larly if their responsibilities are relief, Lloyd George is suen man.

 NEGROES. LEAVING THE SOUTH


 From the New York World
 strong side light is cast upon the ugly tales of violence at Tulsa and East St. Louis by the figures of white and colored population in the United States made public yesterday by the census bureau.
 The white population of the copn- try from 1910 to 1920 increased 16 per cent. against 22.3 per cent in the previous decade. The difference was due to the war and the conse- quent cessation of immigration. If the excess of immigration -over emi- to tals the natural growth of the res ident population would still show a substantial gain. sf
 The negro population of the coun- try gained only 6.5 per cent agalnst 11,2 per cent in the previous decade and IS per cent from 1890 to 1900. The birth rate has declined; the high death rate remains but little changed. The altered distribution of the col ored population is sensational In the south 1t has increased but 1.9 per cent, which means in many cases act ual decline: in the north it grew 4S 3 per cent against 16.7 in the previous decade; in the west 55 I per cent. These mass migrations have been mainly into cities and factory towns. h. crowded centers an intensive study of racial i'll feeling would us- ually reveal basis of economic riv- airy between the races. neishborhood changes and social questions furnish ing rather the occasion than the cause of shameful riots

More Years of Life

"F, rhaps the most impressive statement made at the recent annual meeting of the National Tuberculo- sis association which l attended l1 New York" said pr. George Eaves, was made by Dr. Lee K. Frankel Of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. He was speaking at my request on the results of intensive anti-tuberculosis work to date, and said thai between 1911 and 1920 there had been reduction of 40 per cent in the death rate among the working people who carry their insurance. Forty Der cent reduction in 10 years!
 This means that in areas where nursing care is available. there are fewer deaths by far than among the uncared-for populations. Otherwist stated organizations like tuberculosis associations and insurance agencies which employ visiting nurses and carry Oil d:spensaries for examining and advising the sick and ailing, .e- Juce the deaths by tuberculosis in America by 89.o0c a year!
 "A third way Of stating this fact is that We in Birmingham are hay- ing more years of life and higher average health than if there were no such thing as the Anti-Tuberculosis association of Jefferson county"

AMERICAN BUSINESS MEN ON TOUR IN
GERMANY STUDY TRADE PROSPECTS
By FRANK E. MASON
international News Service Staff Corespondentl

BERLIN, Juy-Can CeImanys cheap labor underbid the world markets
and throw Americans out of work2 This question has brought dozens Of
American business men to Germany who are making quiet Investigations of
the German industrial situation. The result of these Investigations are. for
a time at least. reasunng for America.
An American textile manufacturer found that to his surprise he can
undersen the German in neutral European countries in many lines. The
International News Service asked him the reason why Germany. with labor
costing only from eight to fifteen cents n hour. cannot compete with the
comparatively highly paid American worknans output. He said:
Before the war Germany was able to cut prices because Of her enor-
mour production. The majority of textile factories today are working only
IS to 40 per cent Of their 1913 production. Smaller output increases pro-
ducion cost on the article. The reasons for the decreased output are:
THE graduated taxation is so heavy that manufacturers don't find
it worth the risk 0 have a big output With a heavy production the state
takes the profits IN taxation. with a smaller gross income they a make a
larger net profit. without SO much risk.
"2-Ihe Auetuating exchange Of the mark makes it danserou; for Ger
man manufacturers to lay in large stocks of raw material The value OF the
mark may change and they may find themselves in a position where they
can't even get the original value of the raw materials out of their finished
wares. Raw materials are more expensive when bought in small quantities.
"1The state law forbiddng dsmssns workmen. wen if they are
unnecessary. makes 1t dangerous to take o n a big staff temporarily to turn
out a hurried order.
"AThe psychology of German salesmanship has bee nso affected by
the falling mark and syrockedng prices that THY demand twice the per-
centage Of profit they were willing to take in peace times
