NEGRO IS GOING
 FURTHER NORTH
Census Bureau Figures Shows
 Exodus From South

Washington, Dec. 24.-The center or negro population in the United States has been determined by the census Bureau as IS miles north northeast of Rising Pawn, in Dade county, Georgia. For the first time Tn history this center has moved to the northeast, its former movements having been in a southwesterly direc- ton.
 The movement of the center of negro population is an accurate in- deN of the direction Of negro migra- fion," says the bureau. Tn 1790 it was located 25 miles est-southwest of Petersburg. Va. In 1880 it was located l0.4 miles east of Lafayette. Georgia. From 1880 to 1890 the southweSterly movement was contin- ued and it advanced 201 miles to a point l0,5 miles southwest of Lafay- cite, and about miles cast of the Alabama line. In loo years it had moved southwest 463 miles, an aver age of 46 miles each decade. From 1890 to 1900 it's movement was greatly retarded, and it advanced only '.l liiitS, hcIOsS tue hidbd Sid state line to 1o.7 miles northeast of Fort Payne, Ala bama, about 4 miles west of the Georsia line.
 In 1910 it was located 5.4 miles north-northeast of Fort Payne, it's movement for the decade being 6 miles west southwest. Its movement south was evidently greatly retarded by the migration of negroes to the northern and eastern states. In 1920 it moved back across the state line into Georgia and was located l.S miles north northeast of Rising Pawn. Dade county, Georgia, having moved al.6 miles,
 "The present northeastcrly move mcnt was duc principally to tho great increase in tho negro population of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania. West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. The total increase in the negro population Of the United States was s5.36S, and the increase in the northern states noted was 56 per cent of the total increase. This he cira north of the negro population was due mainly to the expansion of certain industries during the World War, the high wages paid being the great attraction. It Is probably true that this movement has been contin- ned, duo to the reduction Of the cot ton crop and the demand for common labor at higher wages in the north"

Paris, Dec. 24.--The Christmas celebration in Paris this year will have strong Anglo.Saxon flavor. judging from indications. owing to tho favorable exchange rate fully 7a ter cent of the tables reserved at tho city's leading restaurants and bright est Christmas resorts have been re- served by English-spcaking visitors, among whom Americans predominate Tor ali Of them the supply Of tradi- ,ionally suitable food promises to be ample.
 owing 10 the glut in the London market for turkeys many heavy con .lenments destined for England never got further than Boulogne or Calais and were returned to Paris, insuring as inexhaustiblc a supply of solid food as of ltonid refreshmcpts. This Tur- key surplusage came as boon 10 the housewives Of Paris. as the market took a sudden drop with the largest specimens which Saturday brought from 20 to 100 francs selling for from 60 to 70 francs today.
 The holiday is being observed over a thrce-day period. the Bourse, the hanks and the big wholesale firms closing down Saturday until Wednes- day morning.
 Tho religious celebration Of the fes- ,iya1 viIl take the form Of midnight masses in all the Catholic churches with special vocal and instrumental numbers engaging the talents Of the best artists to assist the choirs. spe- cta1 religious services will be held also in all the American and English churches and at the American pro- cathedral.

InEruption; Heaviest
Seen in Seven Years

WESTWOOD, Cal. March IL
Mount Lassen is erupting the heav-
lest volume of smoke and steam
seen from it's crater in seven years,
according o\observers here. The
mountain began to emit steam
shortly before noon, followed by an
immense outpouring of smoke, ap-
parent1y just east of the place where
the last previous eruption took
place.
A report received by the Great
Western Power company here to-
night from their power plant opera
tor and gate tender, at the Almanor
dam at Caribou, said steam began to
pour from crevice in Mount Las
sen just east of it's peak at IL a. m.
A clear view of the peak usually
can be had from the dam site.
After steam had poured from the
mountain for about 80 minutes, the
reports said a black smoke cloud
appeared, reaching 200 feet or more
above the peak. This lasted for an
hour and was followed by steam

Leniine Drew 3Dollars
As His Monthly Salary
As Premier Of Soviet
BY r. A. MACKENZIE


Especial Correspondence of the Chi
caeo Daily News Foreign Segvice)
MOSCOW, Russia.-I came across
bit of Lenine's autobiography the
other day. The authorities were
holding an exhibition, RED Mos
cow" in the old English club here.
Among the exhibits are some of the
original documents connected with
the revolution. These include Lee
mines papers filled out by himself
as a member of the communist
party.
In these papers Lenine gives the
date of his entering the communist
party as 1898. He was accepted by
the founder of the party.
Lenine was arrested three times
In 1887, when II years old, he was
sent out of Kazan and in 1896 he was
sent to liberia, where he remained
until 1897. He was arrested again
in 1900.
He has no religion, having been
an atheist since he was 16. He
was educated in a gymnasium, fin
ishing in 1887, and passed his ex-
animation in law in a university
(Kazan) in 1891 as literature.
Lenines income as president of
peoples commissars, that is, prime
minister of Russia, was given in jan
uary, 1921, as 1880 rubles a month,
ard in August, 1921, as $1,000 rubles.
Those amounts at those times were

Woman Grows Fat
After Train Wreck;
Wins Damage Suit

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-"Professor
Aloysius McSwatts class for thin
people will assemble in stalled Fords
along the railroad tracks north Of
town tonight"
Announcements such as this may
result from a lawsuit just concluded
in local courts, in which a woman
was awarded 1000 damages against
the Chicago and Alton railroad be-
cause she put on too much weight
following a collision between a
switch engine and the automobile
in which she was riding.
Even more than 81 900 with excess
poundage was added to the fair
plaintiff, Attorney Ernest Poindexter
asserted in announcing intention to
appeal the verdict on the grounds Of
insufficient damages.
His client, PoindeKter alleges, gain
ed 22O pounds as a result of the
collision, and was thereby damaged
at a rate in excess of the $454 per
pound as awarded.
The value of added weight by rail-
road accidents, according to legal eX-
perts who watched progress of the
unique case with interest, would
seem to depend solely on the original
Iy physical condition of the
"smashee."
On this basis, if an exceptionally
aenemic person were propelled in
graceful arc through the heavens at
some grade crossing and immediate
ly afterWard added sufficient weight
to bring him up to standard, he
would have no damage case against
the railroad company but the COM
pany on the other hand might have
legitimate bill against him for pro
fessionaI services rendered.
Meanwhile thin and fat people
throughout the country will do well
70 watch the progress of Attorney
Poindexter's appeal, and make a no
tation in their hatbands of the re
sulting establishment of precedent.

DEATH Of FRENCH
OFFICERS BRINGS
SWIFT REPR|SALS
Cuno Believed Ready to Talk
Peace - PoinCare Leaves
Paris for Conference With
Belgian Premier

ESSEN, March 12.-Tv7enty-four
hours of terrific tension in the Ruhr,
following discovery that two French
officials had been assassinated near
Buer, broke today and at least seven
and possibly ten Germans were
killed.
Reports from French sources at
Buer, which is held under an inten-
sif1ed state of siege, said two Ger
mans suspected of numbering Lieu
tenant Collin and M. Jolly, officers
slain Saturday, were captured by
gendarmes. Attempting to escape,
tho suspects were shot dead, after
which an ugly crowd threatened to
storm the police station. French
troops going to the rescue, killed
five of the mob.
Berlin received reports that three
additional Germans were killed last
night at Buer for disobeying the
curfew order which is part Of the
state of siege.
French and Germans engaged in
a street clash at Dortmund and a
French officer was killed, while sew
eral on either side, including Ger
man police commissioner, were
wounded.
French government officials, in
GLIDING Premier Poincare and War
Minister Maginot, reiterated that
those responsible for the murders
of Saturday night will be punished
to the extreme limit.
Humane treatment, heretofore
practiced toward German offenders,
cannot be continued, Maginot said
before leaving for Brussels, where
an important Franco-Belgian con-
ference was held today.
With the situation in the Ruhr
growing worse hourly and France
and Belgium getting their heads to-
gether for still more stringent meas
ures, Germany's resistance showed
signs of weakening.
There were numerous indications
at Berlin that the government is
willing to talk reasonable repara-
tons" and it was permitted to be
known that quiet peace feelers are
