u. S. Population

brought about partly by Increase In
net migration, but has been decidedly
reinforced by reduction in the death
rate.
12oooo.ooo in 1880.
At the present rate of growth. the
population mt the 1890 census will
reach l20,OO0ooO.
II Is impossible to calculate with
precision the population OF the coun.
try at any given date. the statement
of the bureau says, the reason being
that in many states, births and
deaths are not reported, and even in
the registration area Il very conSid-
cradle number OF deaths and still
more births appear TO escape being
recorded There are presumably, also,
minor errors in the statistics of i'm
migration. Because OF the difficulties
involved, the census bureau has made
Its estimates OF the population for the
intercensal years on the simple as
sumption that the rate of growth Is
the same as in the preceding decade.
This census process. which is termed
straight line extrapolation. has
mainly It's simplicity to commend it,
for. when applied, errors of consider
able size gradually accumulate as
changing conditions affect population
growth. For example the official
method showed a population for Jan.
uary l. 1920, nearly 100000 greater
than that given by the actual census
count on that date.
Correcting the Difficulty.
The method of procedure devised by
the National Bureau of Economic Re
search to correct this difficulty is rela-
lively simply. The number of births
and deaths have been estimated for
each half year and the increase of
lively simple. The number of births
over deaths has been calculated. This
amount has been corrected by adding
the excess of immigration over emf
grafton for each half year. The popu-
latiOn for June 30. 1910. has been estl-
mated from smooth curve, and fig
ures have then been built up for each
half year until the census of 1920.
The estimate thus arrived at for
January l, 1920, is in error by approx
mately half million. or only about
one-fourth of the corresponding error
resulting from the official method of
estimate. The labors of the bureau in
this regard have been under the imme-
diate direction of DR.. Willford l.
King, formerly assistant professor of
political economy of the University Of
Wisconsin, who has been engaged on
this work since 1921.

FORD GETS THE HIGH DAM

Coming in under the Federal
Water Power Act and apparently pre-
pared to accept all OF its provisions,
Henry Ford has received prelimin-
airy permit to de7elop power at the
Federal High Dam between St. Paul
and Minneapolis. This dam was
erected by the Federal government
at cost of 100000 as an aid to
navigation. The preliminary permit
was granted by the Federal Power
Commission.
The terms under which III, re d
will develop power at the Federal
High Dam are in marked contrast
With those carried in the bill embody-
ing the famous Ford offer for Muscle
Shoals, which lapsed with the recent
adjournment of congress. X is an

terprise was a part of the Ford pro-
gram for Muscle Shoals.

its preliminary permit, is given four

either overcome the bad ones thru a

be able To get away good shot from
good lie, buteit takes n real golfer
to make q good shot from a poor lie"
There are lot OF golfers who can
hit long wooden shot, who can play
n fine iron and who play pretty
good allaround game except when
they get into trouble. but they don't
turn In low scores for the reason that
they waste too many shots when
they do encounter bad lies or get
into bunkcrs.
Frequently they waste a number
OF shots because they feel aggrieved
over landing In divot hole, or in

HERMAN PILLETTE, sensational
IL recruit pitcher Of the Detroit
Tigers last season. is having his
troubles winning this year.
PiIlette's main stock In trade last
year was fast ball that broke down
as itsneared the batsman much after
the manner Of a spitball. The ball
was started for the knee and just
az 1t reached the plate would dip.
This made for topping the ball, and
in most games pitched by Pillette
many weak grounders would be hit
to the infield.
Opposing players noted that in a
great many cases the delivery would
have been low and ruled ball by
the umpire, If they let it go by. II
was also noticeable that when
Pillette was forced to keep his fast
ball well above the knee II lost much
Of its deceptiveness.
This gossip relative to Piliette,
coupled with his well known in
ability to field hunts. has made the
going rather tough for him this sea
son. He is being waited out, which
results in many bases on balls. When
forced to get them over, the opposing
batters mix things up by taking a
healthy cut or laying down tantal.
