GEOGRAPHICAL "HUB"
FAR FROM BOSTON
Center OF the United States 10 In
SIN th County, State Of
Kansas

Washington. Sept. 4.-Boston, Mass
achusetts, is very important place
to great many people, but so far
as the u s. Geological Survey is
concerned, Boston as a Hub" as ii
claims to be, doesn't amount to a row
OF pins. Boston, too. prides itself
on being the Hub of the Universe
but the Survey ranks 1t at the bot
tom OF the list OF hubs, or centers.
For the Geological Survey thinks
that a city is a hub ony when II is
the center of the land, geographically
speaking, and points the finger OF
scorn at the Massachusetts city for
not even being the center OF the state
OF which 1t happens to be the capital
much less of any universe.
The Survey has received a lot of
letters Of inquiry from persons want
ing to know where they're at, ~
where the geographical center of the
United States is, Or the center OF
their own state The Survey has TAX
en- great pains at locating the various
geographical centers around the con
tinent.
The center of the Tn ted States, &C
cording to the Coast and Geodetic
Survey, is at exactly 80 degrees so
minutes north latitude, and 9S de
grees 35 minutes west long tude II
may be said that point is in North
ern Kansas, in Smith County, in fact
Trust the Smiths to be there.
The Ideal "Hub' Of population
government and industry, should alsC
be the geographical center, the Sur
vey believes, but that is true in few
IL any, cases. clubs just grow VI
regardless, and the center of popula
tion in this country is yearly moving
westward
Even Washington, the Nationi
capital. Is wrongly situated, from thu
Geographers point of view, ant
should be at least a thousand miles
inland from its present site to better
approach the geographical center o
the country. st, Louis, Denver, ant
other cities have been mentioned a
various times as more fitting site
for the center Of government.
