Surplus Women" Problem.
The surplus women" problem, al
though intensified, is no new one. Back
In 1S01-121 years ago-there were
1857 women to every 1000 men. In
1901 and 1911 1t was 1,08S to 1000, and
now II Is 1,095.
Nevertheless, this problem Is very
much In the forefront just now. News
papers are warning their readers that
IF every man over twenty found q
mate there would still be 900, 900
women left over"
But, according to the cold-blooded,
Unconditional census figures, on this cal.
culation there would have been hun
dreds Of thousands Of women left

census was taken. And If there
weren't any surplus Of women, argues

there be any range for masculine

The bacteriophage is transmitted In

Doctor d'Herelle declares that his
discoveries are not antagonistic to the

This years British census, the 70
suits Of which have just been an
nounced, throws a lot Of light upon o
great many problems; but 1t doesnT
settle the question which is most In
teresting to Americans: whether New
York or London is the worlds largest
city.
The administrative county Of Lon
don, which In 1911 had 4,521 1856 inhab-
itants, has lost 3S,436 Of its popula-
ton, so that 1t now numbers only
4,4S3,249 persons. But the popula-
ton of the "outer ring" district Of
suburbs and semi-rural areas under
the control of the London metropolitan
police, but otherwise belonging to the
counties of Middlesex, Hertfordshire.
Bucklnghamshlre, Surrey and Kent,
has increased from 2,729,673 to 1892
01o. When this Is counted, greater
London has a population Of 7,476, 163.
as compared with 7,251,35
London itself, therefore, isn't so big
as New York, but greater London re-
tains a lead Of nearly 100000 souls
VNcN tne hlucTiCtan luclIVpVlos
The net result is that the English
man will continue to claim that
London Is the greater, and that the
American will retort that If one is go
ing to include agricultural districts,
such as Jersey City and Hackensack,
New York would show 100000 or
so, to say nothing Of Yonkers.
Effect Of War on Census.
Two factors In particular operated
TO make the announcement of the 1924
census result one of especial interest.
They were:
What figure would the war cut2
What would be the total surplus
women?"
For four years and three months OF
the period covered by the census Eng.
llsh people were being killed off By
an agency which every one was GER.
tain would figure in the next census
to a far greater extent than in any one
In the past. True, to counterbalance
this there was a check TO emigration
during the war years; but there was
also declining blrthrate during that
same time.
Nevertheless, during the decade
from 1911 to 1921 the population Of
Great Britain increased nearly 2,OO0.-
900.
The number Of Surplus women
increased from 1,179,278 in 1911 to
1,720,S 1902 In 1921. The increase Is al
most exactly accounted for by the es-
tablished total Of $4,000 deaths Of
Englishmen and Welshmen In the
war.
The figures for Great Britain do no,
include Ireland, where no census was
taken this year, but they comprise
Scotland and Wales. The Scotch re-
suits were announced some weeks ago.
The following table shows the increase
from 1911 to 1921:

Rate Of Increase At Per Cent.


The rate of percentage increase was
At per cent, the lowest ever recorded.
In the previous decade the rate was
10.4.
While no Irish census was taken, 1t
is known that the population Of John
Bulls other island" is diminishing
one. During the war emigration was
largely checked from 1t. In 1911 it
had 4,390,219 people, and fairly safe
assumption is that 1t now contains
about 100000.
The total population Of the islands,
then, is approximately 47000,00O. In
brief the census shows:
Largest population in country's his
tory.
Smallest rate of increase ever re-
corded.
Surplus of nearly 100000 women.
Drift from country to towns, but
falling off in London and Industrial
midlands.
Huge increases In seaside resorts.
Smallest number Of births since
1911.
The provincial towns keep their rela-
tive places, with small increases in
population. Glasgow, with more than
100000, is the second city In the
kingdom. The largest English towns

Shows Course Of History.

From the detailed figures of the pre-
visional returns one can almost fol-
low the course of English history dur.
ing the last ten years. During the
first three years the birth rate was
high and the death rate low, but emil.
grafton was also high, probably at the
rate of 10000 yearly, since 1t is es.
tlmated that emigrants for the ten
years numbered 100000.
Then during the next year the war
cut across the statlstlcian's charts and
graphs.
'From 1911 to 1914 the balance Of
birth over deaths was comparable with
the figures Of previous years." notes
the report, but thereafter the cont.
guilty ceases and the changes become
so great as to render any forecast of
such movements based upon results Of
previous years entirely random"

Philadelphia and Cleveland reserve
banks began to lend to the reserve
banks OF Chicago. Minneapolis,
Kansas City. Dallas. Atlanta and
Richmond, all OF the latter serving
districts in which agricultural in
terests predominated. This shows
how the banking system of the
country is interlocked and mutually
supporting. to the advantage of all
industries and all sections.
1t is not SO much present specu-
lation and extravaganza that is con-
tributing to tight money as past
indulgences which had to do with
creating the Indebtedness now out
standing. 1t is the debts so gaily
created in boom times that make
money tight when prices fall. The
debts do not shrink with the loss
of debt-paying power.
The trouble is largely due to the
unbalanced state of industry. The
prices OF what the farmer must buy
have not fallen to correspond with
the prices of what he has to sell.
His purchasing power is contracted
and he cannot go on buying the
same quantity OF goods at the old
prices. Consequently great num-
bers OF workmen are out of en-
ployment in the industrial centers.
and money grows tight with them
also.
