share some Of the risk.
An express company, for instance,
accepts a package Of goods for de

The experience OF David Engel
who came to The Evening World Of

terest as showing what a great per-
centage Of money sent to Europe was
not delivered. Between Feb. n, 1915,
and Jan. "a, 1917, David EnEcl sent,
through the Adams Express Com
pany, thirteen separate rcmittances
to his wife, his children or his father
in town In what was then Hun
gary but is now CzechO- Slovakia.
His remittances totalled 1861
crowns, for which he paid in Ameri

tances were sent by wireless. Only
three reached the persons EnEel de-
sired to aid, His two children re-

For three years Engel held his re-
ceipts awaiting action. Then he wrote
to the Adams Express Company, and
on April 0, 1920 received a reply stat.

QUESTION: WHERE ARE THE

The dollars that were deposited
here for the benefit Of persons in
Europe VINO never received their
equivalent in crowns, marks, lei and

The credits in Europe from when the
equivalent OF those dollars was to

Who has the dollars?
Presumably the money transmitters

FOR them and never delivered their

claimants at the present rate OF eN-
change I know Of one lawyer who

WHITE POPULATION s4,S2O,s15

The white population Of continental
United States formed 1877 per cent.
Of the total population in 1920, and
increased 16 per cent. during the
decade, the census bureau has an
nounced, in making public statistics
showing nativity and percentage of
the white population. The total pop
ulation of the continental population
was 105,710,620 under the 1920 census,
and comprised 94,820,915 white per-
sons, 10,263,131 negroes and 426,574
Indians, Chinese, Japanese, etc.
The total population increased
13,7S9,S54, or 14.9 per cent. during
the decade; whites increased 13,088-
956, or 16 per cent; negroes increas-
ed 635,368, or 6.5 per cent; Indians,
Chinese, Japanese, etc., increased
14,028, or 3.4 per cent.
All these rates Of increase except
that for the negro population were
influenced directly by immigration.
The native white population of native
parentage is recruited partly by
births in the families Of native whites
of foreign or mixed parentage; the
native white population of foreign or
mixed parentage is recruited wholly
by births in families where one or
both parents are foreign born and
the foreign born population is re-
cruited wholly by by immigration.
The natural Increase in the white
population, duescsolely to excess of
births over deaths, was probably at
the rate Of about II or IL per cent.
during the decade.
Of the white persons. 81,108,161
were natives and 13,712,754 were for
eign born. Of the natives, 58,421 ,957
were born of native parents, 15,-
694,539 were Of mixed parentage-
that is, having one parent native and
the other foreign born.

WINTER PASTURES

One day last winter Mr.. J. C,
McAmis, from the Agricultural De-
partment of the University of Ten
nessee, was riding over and looking
at some of our Upton county farms.
After visiting several of these farms
he remarked that conditions seemed
fairly good except that he hadn't
seen anything green on the land
and asked where our winter pastures
were located. When told that we
had very few winter pastures, he
explained that they were very prof
liable, both in supplementing the
winter feed and in increasing the
fertility of the soil.
Now, that our people are going
into the business of shipping cream,
perhaps winter pastures would be
more profitable than at any time in
the past. Dairy cattle grazing on
green winter pastures and being fed
the usual dry foods will undoubt-
eddy produce the maximum guam
tity Of milk.
1t is a fact, too, and long recog-
nized, that winter pastures are alb
s0lutely necessary to profitable
poultry raising and winter egg pro-
duction. Horses, hogs, sheep, and,
in fact, all livestock thrive better
and are kept cheaper if a reasonable
amount Of green feed is available
in winter.
Our southern soils, we are told,
lose more of their fertility in the
winter through the teaching out pro-

this session are to be charged back
to the preceding Congress. All
other appropriations currently made
are to be charged ahead to the next

that this is the most comprehensive

of how government is conducted

cess than they do in the summer in
the production Of crops. This is
not true in the North and Northwest
because the land is frozen and the
plant f60a locked up through a
greater portion of the winter. In
the South, however, the soil is
nearly bare during the winter
months and the rains wash out a
great portion Of the plant food.
If crop Of wheat, oats, rye or
crimson clover is grown on the land
during the inter- and turned under
in the spring the soil fertility is
increased year after year besides
the winter pastures it affords.
1t is hat tSS late to plant
of these crops and have Upton

SILK HOSIERY AND UNEN
PLOYMENT
UNEM.

Following its announcement that
5,7S5,OOO persons were out Of en-
plCyment and supplying the figures
apparently to justify the statement,
the Department of Labor is now
busy trying to explain that there
can not possibly be that many per-
sons out of work, principally be-
cause some persons employed dur
ing the war in war work and now
without an occupation could not be
properly classified as persons sub
ject to employment. Secretary Davis
also finds consolation in the state
ment that there are 100000 who
are still at work.
AS an evidence that the unem-
ployed are being absorbed BY in
dustry, he says:
"But one must have his head very
much in the air these days not to
notice the sgrOwing prevalence of
silk hosiery and the use of silks in
general"
The fact remains that idle men
are offering to sell themselves into
employment for board and lodging
IS slaves were sold on the auction
block, while others were being
chased from the benches in public
parks which they had pre-emptied
ais beds.
The flippant remark Of the secre-
tary about the prevalence Of silk
hosiery could not have been in
spired by these pathetic scenes.
The business Of the Department
Of Labor is to give facts and fig
ures concerning employment and UNI
employment without exaggeration
and certainly not to confuse the pub
tic with explanations or even apollo
giles that have no relevancy to actual
conditions.
Everyone without regard to party
is DESTROYS Of relieving deplorable UNI
employment conditions and the best
way to do 50 is first to know the
actual facts and then face them
