NEW YORK, Jan. a.
Birth records Of the New York
Nursery and Child's Hospital
revealed last night show that
last year the male babies born
at the institution outnumbered
the females IL to 10, while in
1918 the males outnumbered
the females by only the usual
ratio, of about 1914 to 10.
For all of New York in 1922,
however, the males outnum-
bered the females by only
1868 to 100.
Officials of the hospital

exists in Paris hospitals.

COMFORT IN

A cleanup campaign which has
really interested a large number Of
citizens should produce results that
last throughout the year. OF course
raking the yard and making a gar
den soon give place to moving the
lawn and gathering flowers or vege-
tables as they develop. House
painting does not need to be re-
peated soon, but it should inspire
the inhabitants to make the rest of
the property look its best. This
means keeping rubbish gathered up,
sweeping the sidewalk regularly,
refraining from throwing papers
around the yard, and SO on.
During the warn months the
smoke evil abates naturally in a
strictally residence neighborhood.
But 1t should not be forgotten.
There are furnace and chimney
cleaning to be attended to and
other steps taken to lessen the
smoke menace tho next season.
The relation of health to clean
liness is obvious. Swatting the fly
and killing the rat, demanding clean
stores markets and soda fountains
and combating the splitting evil
are a few of the most obvious ac-
tivities to be emphasized in any
cleanup week but also in the other
81 weeks of the year.
This sort of tidiness about a city
will help to keep the residents com
Portable during the coming hot
weather. The suns rays may be
just as hot on a dustless pavement
as on n dusty one, but the traveller
will be better able to endure them
on the former than on the latter.

HONEST SCALES

1.-THE weighing machine which
promises Your Correct Weight fer
oac Cent" must keep the promise.
THIS is the dcis'on of a city dealer
of weights and measures, and he is
taking steps to see that all weighing
machines in his district are correct.
Honesty is not the only reason
Eor this mans stand. He has noted
the increasing Importance accorded
to weight al a factor in health. He
finds people than ever keenly
concerned in keeping regular rec
ords of weight as a part of a sys-
tenn for reducing or building up the
body. He knows that accuracy in
the scales is essential if these rec
ords are to be correct.
Honesty has always required that
weights and measures should be
correct. Now that the health issue,
bas been added to the equation,
honest scales are double essential.

SUGAR AND COAL

At the present time It is sugar
which is worrying the housewives
of the country. With a prospective
price of IL cents a pound for can
ping, the affluent housewife is an
hoyed, the m~iddle-class one finds
that she has to cut down her sum-
mer wardrobe or postpone needed
house repairs, and the mi who
has to figure closer still has to cut
out most of her canning, thus eth
er increasing her next winters food
bills or bringing down the quality
of her family's nourishment.
There may be some esoteric rea-
son why the price of sugar should
rise so much at this time, but there
certainly is no eason which the
ordinary citizen can understand.
It will take a powerful lot Of ex-
planning on the part of the big
sugar people TO make him feel he
is not being cheated.
As to coal - well, Il win be
warm soon. With the characteris-
tic American tendency to postpone
facing anything disagreeable, the
coal situation is being allowed to
take care of itself.
There is plenty Of intelligence
in the country. Granted that most
of us are economic illiterates, there
is a saving remnant of business
men who are the economic SUI
periors of the rest Of us. Can none
of these come forward with a con-
structive idea or two which could
be put into workable shape before
next winters snows7

PRESENT MEXICO

The republic of Mexico is to have
an exhibit in the National Travel
and Outdoor Life Exposition to be
aeld in Chicago early in May. The
government is anxious to
have citizens of the United Statos
md out all about the charms of our
southern neighbor. There is a
new Mexico" they say, and the adj
vance guard of officials has arrived
to prepare the way for making it
known.
North Americans are not yet con-
WINGED of the fact that there is a
Mexico that is safe and CONNER
cially profitable to live and do bust
ness in" Yet its ardent advertisers
say that it is now both safe and
progressive, with big hotels, news
paper plants, country clubs and
business plants of all kinds, in Mex
City and in other parts Of the
country. There are man. new
schools in Mexico, and Mexicans
who have studied in the United

Wool Clip Sold

GILLETTE. wyo.. April 2b.-vir-
tually the entire clip OF 500, 900
pounds of wool comprising the 1898
clip of Campbell county has been dis
posed of at IS cents. It was learned
hero. But n few of the smaller pro
ducers have not yet made a sale.
The buyer was b. Harris s. Co. OF
st. Louis. through its Wyoming
agent. A. Z. Upton of Buffalo. Among
the competitors for the wool were
Dewey. Gould & Caveriy OF Boston.
Last week an attempt was made
through the Campbell County Wool
growers association. to pool the
product from this section. Buyers
were invited to attend the meeting
of the association and tho matter was
laid definitely before the producers.
No bids were received at the IS cents
asked. At that time the organization
was holding out until the Jericho
pool could take action on the Utah
product.
After a long wait without results
the local rover decided to proceed
and tho individual members sold at
the best possible figure.
Among the larger producers who
have sold their 1923 clip are Reno
brothers, Wright brothers & Allison
brothers. Leo & Spath, John DAILY,

SMALLER INCOME TAXES

Senator Gerry of Rhode Island
is urging that the income tax of the
mar with the income below $4,000
be cut in half. Undoubtedly the
big fellows are suffering from the
s%urtaxes, and relieving them to
some extent would increase bust
ness for everyone. But the little
fellows are finding themselves pay
ing pretty high prices for every
thing again, and they need a life
u anyone does.
In fact, the little fellows, if
asked to vote on the matter, would
doubtless manifest a belief that If
they were relieved of half their in
como tax, and the money thus
saved went to buy things they and
their families, and perhaps their
small businesses, need, business
might improve enough from the
bottom SO that the big fellows
would not have to worry so much
about their s~urtaxes.

HALF POPULATION in CITIES
War Caused Men to Leave.
Rural Districts.

BY reason of the restrictions placed
upon immigration 1t makes it neces-
sary for us to look to our overcrowd-
ed cities for men to till our old and
new farms. These men cannot be in
duced to leave their old life unless
there is present the community life
which, as a city dweller, they enjoy.
One of the results of the World
war was the exodus of men from the
soil to the city, and for the first time
in the history of our country the 1920
census revealed the fact that more
than half the total population was
resident in cities. Within the last
year or so, however, there has been
some indication Of back to the
soil" movement.
The total land area of our country
is 1903 million acres, of which about
one-half is in farms, but of this farm
area only about one-eighth is what is
known as improved farm land. About
1000 million acres of our land area
may be classed as untitled for profit
able use on account of one or more
reasons, insufficient rainfall, stony
land. lack of transportation.-Mi
