that the expense involved is not the

POPULATION DRIFTS TO CITY
Urban Centers Contain SID Per Cent

Washington-For the first time in
its history, the United States has more
town and city than country dwellers,
the census board announced.
Inhabitants of places of $500 or
more persons total 54,31S,O32, or 51.4
per cent of the population.
The proportion of urban population
is larger than in 1910 in all but three
states-Colorado, Montana and Wyom-
in-the largest increase being that for
Michigan.
The drift from the country to city
is attributed largely to the World war
Large salaries in the cities attracted
many from the country while many
soldiers who lived on farms before
joining the army took up life in the
cities after their discharge
