STATISTICS SLOW
 MORE MEN THAN
 WOMAN IN J. $.

The department of commerce, through the bureau of census, has is- sued a preliminary statement giving The sex distribution of the total pop ulation and or its leading racial ele- ments, by geographic divisions and states. as shown by the returns of the fourteenth deccnnial census, taken as of January |. 1920.
 The total population of the United States as enumerated at the last cen- sus, 105,710.620. comprised 53,900.43l males and 51.S1O.1S9 females; the white population. 94,S20.915, comprised 4S,430,655 males and 46,39O,2o0 fe- males. the negro population, 10,463,- .31. comprised 5,209,436 males and y.253.695 females; and the remaining elements of the experimentation Chinese, Japanese, etc.-which, taken as group. numbered 426,574, con1- prised 260,340 males and 166,234 fe- males
 For the total population the sex ratio expressed as the number Of males to 100 females, decreased from lO6 in 1910 to 104 in 1920; fer the white population it decreased from 1066 to 104.0 for the negro popula- tion it increased from 9S.9 to 99.2; and for the Indians, Chinese, Japa- nese, etc, it decreased from 1857 to 15e.6. The decrease in the sex ratio for the white population is due in part to the decline in the proporticN of foreign born white persons, among whom the males greatly outnumber the females, and in part to other causes, including losses.
 In three states-Massachus New York and Rhode Is1and-and in the District of Columbia the white ! females outnumbered the white males in 1920, the ratio for the District of Columbia being only s7 to 100. Oi the II western states-t5ose in the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Coast regions-Utah was the only one in which the ratio for the white popu- lation was less than no males to 100 females The only states east of the Mississippi river which the ratio was hi<her than the average for the Uni ted States in 1920 were West Vir- ginia. Florida, Ohio, Michigan, an6 Wisconsin; and the only states wes1 of the Mississippi in which it was below the average for the country were Louisiana and Missouri

Bones Of Masfoden
 Found At McDotUell
 On Exhibition Here

There is on exhibition in the office of The Republican, brought by City Commissioner J. A. R. Irvine. three objects of great in terest to archaeologists. One ex- hibit consists of two bones of a mastadon. One is a joint of vertebrae and the other, probably a shoulder blade. The former is about eight inches in diameter but it must have been somewhat larger, as the edges show that the outer part of it had crumbled away. What remains of the shoulder blade at the widest part, near the socket, is more than foot in width and the length of it is more than two feet. but both the length and the width are but a small part evidently of the original dinner sions, for nearby were broken pieces of this bone. Both bones were heavily sand encrusted, accounting for their state of preservation.
 The other exhibit, consists of two ollas or, rather. one olla and a bowl-shaped vessel. The olla is a burial urn, containing small particles of bones which had been partly burned. These OllaS are found in all parts of the country, especially in regions inhabited by the mound-builders.
 All these relics were found dur the excavation for the intake for the Phoenix Verde pipe line. near the Verde river below old Fort Mcdowell.
 Inasmuch as these finds were made in a comparatively narrow area, that region probably pre- sents rich field for investiga- ton. by archaeologists-
