GROWTH OF AMERICAN CITIES.

The Census Bureau estimates the population of New York City for July 1 to have been G. o24,761. This is gain of 53,961 from the estimate for July 1, 1927 and of 304,713 over the regular enumeration in 1920 In the ten years between the census of 1910 and that of 1920 New York gained S53,663. While it is estimated that the gain has not been great during the last eight years, the population growth of New York suburbs has made up the difference and to spare. The population in the Long Island, Hudson and New Jersey eommuni- ties that furnish homes for those who em- ployed in New York is growing rapidly than ever before.
 The same bureau places the population of Chicago at 3,056000, gain of 355 900 since 1920. Philadelphia is given 2.064000. gain since 1920 240.000. According to the esti- mates, Detroit has grown from 993, GOO to L. 379,000 and Cleveland from 796,000 to $1,OOS,- 900 since 1920.
 Los Angeles, Census Bureau estimate not yet given out, claims to be the fifth city in the country, and places her population at 1,300,- 900. St. Louis, Boston and Baltimore, upon time the fourth fifth and sixth cities, are now struggling to hold the seventh, eighth and ninth places

Pursuing Pacific Eels.
(New York Times.)


 In announcing that the Danish scientist Pro- lessor Johannes Schmidt is about to leave for the Pacific Ocean to study the way of the eel in that vast body of water, Science Service pays him fine tribute for his seventeen year-long researches in connection with the eels of the At lantic
 Thanks largely to his studies, it is now known that somewhere northeast of the West Indies is the breeding ground of these animals It was long ago discovered that young ees up the rivers of Europe and America, and old swan down. Never was the process to be re- yersed. The conclusion, therefore, was that the mature eels went down to the sea to breed
 Professor Schmidt began to trace the route of the cells, and after years of patient investiga- tion located the spawning grounds in the deep waters lying to the east and northeast of the West Indies. The two particularly puzzlng as poets Of his discovery are that the American and European eels breed near the spot without, apparently, intermingling, and that, despite the fact that the parents die after the eggs are laid, the young never fail to seek out the rivers where their parents matured. What instinct it is that enables these animals unguided to make this three-thousand-mile journey from the Indies to fresh water remains much of a mystery today as was the problem of the breeding grounds for many years.

We'll, Let the Enforcement Begin.
Seattle Star.l

Very well. let's enforce prohibition!
 For years the various leagues and associations that put over the dry law have been calling for it's enforcement The Star joins them, today, in that demand. And here is our plan:
 Let us take one scton of the city, mile square. Let the Federal prohibition enforcement unit combine with the Sheriffs offce the police force, the Coast Guard, the Customs Department and any other organizations that happen to be lying arond loose, and concentrate from now until election day on moppng up this square mile
 Let every home be thoroughly searched twice Ia day Frisk every citizen entering or leaving his home. Intercept all letters and tap all tele- phone lines Let Federal agents crash in most of the doors and women and children with their guns two three times a week Shoot few citizens in the back and cart few wives down to jail for having malt extract in their cupboards Place inspectors at all meal tables to sniff what goes into the glasses. Make this one district really bone dry
 A good many people have been asking for REAL enforcement. Very we'll let's have it! Let's find out whether people want prohibition or not, by giving it to them
 And then on election day, let's see how the vote goes in that square mile That's fair enough isn't it?

CONFIDENCE AGAIN STIMULATED.

The positive statement of Robert A. Kinzie that there will be large pulp and paper mills in the vicinity of Juneau just as quickly the plans for the transmission of the hydro-electric power from Speel River to Juneau be worked out and the construction of the power plant, transmission lines and mills be completed is another assurance that has stimulated the feeling of confidence that has for sometime per meated this section of Alaska. If the work goes according to plans Juneaus population will probably double within the next five years, and the growing will continue indefinitely, for unit after unit will be added to the mills until the maximum production of the region is reached The building of pulp and paper mills will mean the beginning of another major Alaskan industry and that will bring when fully developed greater permanent, all-the- year-round, population than any that have.

More or Less True

mOFe or IeSS rue
 It is hard to work up much sympathy for the young fellow who gets to raying because he is find ing his wife about as useful around the house as pitchfork is around the garage when you know he only married her because they enjoyed dancing together so well.
 When a man reaches middle life he gets about as much of a thrill watching some one putting down cueumbers as he used to watching the man at the circus swallowing swords when he was a kid.
 The old-fashioned girl who was afraid she would be talked about now has a daughter who would be sore if she wasn't
 Another optimist is a modern mother who hears a noise just after the clock has struck two and thinks maybe it is daughter get ting in early for once.
 It's funny, but now that it is so much easier to get at, wo- man cant use the top of her stocking as a bank.
 It is not what a woman is wear ing but in not being wearing that makes her husband adore her
 If the ceiling lights are on, it is safe bet his wife is at the movies.
 After father has listened to daughter tell him where to head in it makes him more reconciled to being married to her mother. ll It is all right for man to mar ny a girl who has won the prize at a beauty contest if he can af- ford to live in an apartment build ing that has restaurant in con- nection.

MIR. REDINGTON's WORK IN ALASKA.

It is impossible to estimate the good that work in the Territory of Chief Paul G. Redington of the United States Biological Survey. That incalculable benefits will come is certain Mir. Redington is big man, trained scientist and what sort of results he wants to attain, but he knows people and how to reach his objectives And he is practical who desires that the game animals and birds and fish and fur bearers as well to have the various species preserved and their supply increased. He is thoroughly committed to the opinion that the fur industry is destined to be permanent and larger than at setting himself the task of exterminating as nearly possible, the wolves, coyotes and other menaces to the fur bearing animals.
 The people of Alaska believe they know Mir them still of the opinion that Alaska ought to have control of her game if they are not to exercise that authority they are glad that a man of MT. Redingtons ability and breadth of view is in charge They also glad that he is rep resented in Alaska by MT. Terhune.
 MT. Redington is going south this week and will return to his work at Washington The good will of Alaskans will go with him and warm welcome will await his promised second coming among them

Tanning the Afghan.
Manchester Guardian. }


 If King Amanullah has his way the wild Afghan of romance and, till yesterday at any rate, of history will soon be completely figure Of the past. The Afghan monarch has rturned from his tour of Europe full of reforming zeal and with schemes all ready for transforming his picturesque subjects into an orderly and indus trious community busied with the arts not of war but of peace. Instead of roaming his noun tains the young Afghan will now be tied to the school desk, for education is to be compulsory and free for all, although the wealthy will have to pay nominal sum for the privilege of being educated With the poor. Nobody will escape the net nor leave 1t, apparently, till he has reached such standard of culture that he will pride himself on having been tanned And to make the tanning complete, he will find when he emerges from school and college into life that woman has been emancipated. It is an ambitions program but it's adoption was inevitable Alghanistan could not refuse to share in the tre- mendously rapid advance in the Middle East towards new standards of civilization and in inc general effort that is transforming Asia

BY SUPT. r. H. LIVINGSTON

At the end Of the first month of
school the enrolment stands at
almost TOO for the city and rural
schools. The enrolment in the
grades in the city schools is 800
and in the high school it is 1879 as
compared with 120 a year ago.
There are 70 freshmen and 20
seniors. Enrolment in the rural
schools is approximately 161. Re-
ports are not all in from the coun-
try. The city schools are crowd

put all of the pupils. Nearly all
of the rural schools have a larger
enrolment than usual.
