PALACE-"The S. Baby"

"The IS Baby" although q perfectly
appropriate title for Viola Dana's pic-
! ture shown at the Palace Theater this
week, is somewhat misleadin1 %
those familiar with Miss Danas usual
type Of picture.
This young actress usually lays
great emphasis on the fact that she
has been voted the "happer supreme"
of the screen and she seems to be
very proud of the title. Whether or
not she feels that the fapper 10 on
the wane in the eyes Of the public
1t is impossible to state. but at least
she portrays a very different type OF
girl in this. her latest picture.
This is the story Of little orphan
stolen from the steps Of foundling

a desperate mother. The thief Is an
unscrupulous degenerate. Discover

Of food in tho large basket, he takes
it to q nearby pawnshop and cum

Uncle Ben for the little waif, and also

until the very last scene. when an un-
expected twist ends the story with =
yerv neat and logical finish.
"The SIS BABY originally appeared

LACK Of HOTELS
HURTS CITY,
He SAYS
New Convention Hall Soon to
Draw Thousands Here, De-
ciares F. w. Walker.

Lack of sufficient hotel accommo-
dations in Washington is turning
away hundreds of visitors every
month and doing more to injure the
ing to F.. W. Walker, director of
civic activities at Beaver Falls. Pa,
and prominent building material
contractor.
Mr.. Walker declared that IL Is
practically impossible for the visitor
who wishes TO spend a few days in
Washington to secure adequate ho-
tel accommodations without making
reservations far in advance.
This condition is very bad for
the city" he declared. II have
known of number of cas"S recent;
ly where friends Of mine, planning
to visit Washington. were forced TO
forego their visits because they
could not secure accommodations.
Pays SEQ Day for Room.
Il came here on short notice and
was unable to make reservations in
advance. As result. l am forced
to pay $50 a day for the only avail
able rooms. The average person
cannot afford to pay such an
amount"
Mr.. Walker, who has just COM
pleted u trip in which he visited
every large city in the country. de-
clared that nowhere had he found
hotel conditions as congested as
they are in Washington. He said
that the hotel conditions here are
becoming notorious throughout the
country and are working lasting
harm to the National Capital.
Washington is sorely in need OF
a large number of new hotels" he
continued. II understand that several
big hotels are now being built and
that this will tend to relieve the
situation. l am afraid. however,
from what l have heard throughout
the country that even these new
hotels, though they are to be very
large, will not be sufficient.
Convention Hall Interests.
Word is spreading through the
country regarding the new Conven-
ton Hall now being built here and
numbers Of organizations through.
out the coutry which have never
considered the National Capital as
convention city for their annual
meetings are now planning to come
here. Only an intensive hotel build.
ing program can take care Of the
needs Of the city during the next
few years"
Mr.. Walker declared that, though
he was prepared by the amount of
building going on throughout the
country, he was surprised by the
great amount of building now under
way in Washington.
'"The city is rapidly taking rank
among the great metropolitan
centers OF the nation" he said. "a
few years of such progress as the
last three or four In Washington
will socn establish II firmly in the
ranks Of the biggest cities of this
country"

THE NEGRO IN AMERICA.

When the first census of the
United States was taken in 1890
one person in every five was a
negro, or, to be more exact, 1913
per cent. Two years ago, when
the 18th census was taken, one
person in every ten was black.
The facts are interesting, for
they show that in spite of the
well known fecundity of the
black race it is not increasing so
rapidly in this country as the
white race is. The white people,
of course, have added millions to
their number by immigration and
other millions through the off
spring of immigrants, whereas
the colored race has had alomst
no increase of that sort. But the
process was noticeable even be-
fore the great tide of immigra-
ton began in the '4Os.
In the SO years between 1890
and lS40 the proportion of whites
in the population of the country
rose from 8O.7 per cent to S3.2
per cent. In the half century be-
tween 1870 and 1920 it went from
86.2 to 1877 per cent-that is, it
rose more rapidly but not more
steadily than in the earlier pc
riod. -
A still more remarkable fact
brough out by the census is the
gradual shifting of the negro
population from South to North.
The five States of South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana, where the
negroes are most numerous, actu-
ally had $1,000 fewer black per-
sons in 1920 than they had in
1910. The five States Of New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, lndi-
ana and Illinois had $4,000 more.
The negro, like the white man,
begins to show a tendency to
leave the farm for the city and
the factory. With the movement,
perhaps largely because of it,
IcOmes diminishing colored birth
rate which, according to the GEN.
sus authorities, is not yet offset,
"a it is in the case of the white
race, by greatly diminished
death rate. 1t seems reasonable
to believe that the colored race
will not thrive so well in the cold
er climate Of the North and un-
der the confining conditions Of
industrial life as it has on the
plantations Of the South, but the
uolthWard drift il unmistakable.
