WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Depart

nary statement giving the sex distribu-
ton Of the total population and Of its
leading racial elements. by geographic
divisions and States. as shown by the
returns of the Fourteenth Decennial

earlier years was issued on June 81,
1921.
The total population Of the United
States as enumerated at the last census.
105,710,620. comprised 53.900.431 males
and 51.S10,189 females; the white pop
ulation, 94,820.915, comprised 4S,430,655
males and 46,390,26o females; the negro

negro population 1t increased from $50
to 99.2 and for the Indian. Chinese.
