BIG INCREASE IN |, 5. POPULATION
Gain Of 1,l62,OO0 in Last Six
 Months Of 1928

New York, June 17.--In spite Of 1 rigid immigration laws the population | of the United States increased more in the last six months of 1928 than l in any like period in the nations his- tory. This fact became known when l the National Bureau of Economic Re ] search, "A West 24th street, made public figures showing the growth of population since the l920 census. 1 The estimated population of the nation was ll2,S26.00O on Jan. 1. last, as against 1f0.SS3,00o on Jan. ]. a@S, and 105,711,000 on Jan. 1, 1920, More than 1.162,o ,oG0 was gained in tho six months beginning July 1, 1923.
 Discrepancies Alluwrd For The bureau explained that the figures were not arrived at by thor ough investigation, which would be , impossible, but by calculations care fully worked out, Some discrepan- cies are allowed for because of in- adequacy of birth statistics and the ingrcs8 of immigration over the bor- der without registration, The report says in part;
 "rhe fact that.th rate Of increase in population during tho decade 1910 To 1920 was considerably less than the corresponding rate during the pre- Nious ten years led many persons To anticipate that in the future We might look forward tn a rate or population expansion Considerably lower than . Il l,.= tury,
 such expectations have been rude ly shattered by events ol the last four years. and especially by what oc- cured during the last half Of 1923. in which period the rate of population growth was unusually high The ac- tual increase appears to have been greater than in any other half year during the last two decades, and probably Rrratcr than in any siN months within tho history of tho na- ton.
 This unusual increase was due to two faCts-frst, vrry heavy record cd excess of immigration over emi- grafton, which increased our popula- ton by sos 0o0, and, second, by the fact that the death rate was as low as has ever been recorded.
 Natural Increase 6tS.0O00
 According 10 inc estimates, there were about 1,23k 900 births against some 621,D00 deaths, giving net nat ural increase Of about Gt7,ODn. This number added To iho 505.0O0 gain from migration totals 1.t22.0O0. tho estimated increase in population indi- catcd by the government reports for the last half Of 1928 as compared with a similar estimate of total growth for the entire year amounting 10 l,s63.- B00. This yearly total may in turn be compared with similarly calculated figure for 1920 uf iTEiO00. for 1921 Of t.643.p00 and for ig22 of 1,505, 900.
 "tt appears then that Inc average gain during tho last four years was 1,77S.7aa year as compared with an average increase of I.4lSf00 during the decade 1910 10 1920"

THE OF
FOREIGN TRADE

For many decades we have pro-
duced a surplus Of products Of the
farm that has been sold in foreign
countries. AS long as we continue
to produce a surplus above domestic
consumption, it is a prime necessity
that there be a market for it. II is
true hat this surplus is but a frac-
ton OF our total production. Never
theless. 1t exerts an effect upon the
price of the entire output which is
entirely disproportionate to its rela-
tive size. A country store-keeper may
sell a hundred straw hats at a fair
margin of profit. but the twenty which
he may not be able to sell at all will
wipe out the profit on the entire
stock. The same thing is true OF
wheat. of corn. Of any product Of
the farm.
1t is true that we might exist with.
out foreign trade. that we might
depend exclusively upon domestic
consumption. To do that, however,
would require n complete reorganiza.
ton OF our whole commercial and
industrial structure. a reorganization
which would require years of time
and which would entail losses beyond
calculation. The more reasonable
alternative ia to take steps toward the
restoration of n normal foreign mar.

STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN

Aunt Emmy" said Jane, Il wish
you would make something clear to
me. Last night Mr.. Wilkins and Ted
were talking about bonds. Mr.. Will
kins said . lot about public utility
bonds.' whatever that means. and
seemed to think that they are the
greatest things ' SO I thought
maybe Ted and l might buy one with
that $1,000 Daddy gave us for . we'd
ding present. but I'd like TO know
moro about them nrst-"
-You have the makings OF . nnan-
cisr. Jane" laughed Aunt Emmy.
since you have n enough to stop.
look and listen before you buy. like
public utility bonds. too-that u. good
ones. They are bonds issued By o =
porations that serve the public with
something useful. hence the name,
public utility. The gas company. ths
electric Hight and power company. the
telephone and similar companies are
public utility corporations. Their
business is based on real public needs
But It 10 also essential that they be
we'll managed to be . good invest
ment-
"Of course there arc other bonds
equally good. Always bear in mind
that when you buy a bond you loan
money to the corporation whose bond
you buy. You do not buy q share Of
the business, as you do when you buy
stock. The bond you buy bears in
terest. and this interest must be paid
to you before the company al pay
out a single ZEN in dividends. New.
ertheless bonds must be carefully Sc
lected with the advice of someone
who knows"
How do you think one can know
II a company is safe or not, Aunty? ?"
asked Jane.
We'll, that is difficult. But l should
say that IL a company whose bonds
you fancy has been doing a good
business for ten years and has not
failed to pay a dividend during that
time the chances are that it will keep
on doing as we'll unless something en-
tirely unforeseen occurs. The best
thing to do is to check up your own
opinion with your banker. Once you
have bought bonds in any corporation
don't put them away and forget them.
Seek your banks advice from time to
time and keep informed of the prog
ress Of the corporation you r inter
ested in. II you see anything in the
papers that alarms you in n way go
at once to you bank and ask their
advice about selling out and ~reinvest-
ing in something else. Banks have
facilities for keeping in touch with
financial conditions. and they are al
ways glad to help."-ANNE B. AYMEs.
