Delaware. Maine, Mississippi, Mon
tana, Nevada, New Hampshire,
North Dakota and Vermont.
The figures for states are i'm
portant, as they probably will form
the basis for a congressional re-
apportionment.
Population Of cities Is becoming
more and more deceptive because
residential regions are getting to
be largely in suburban areas, out
side OF city limits. To determine
the actual size OF a city. therefore,
1t will be necessary to add the
figures Of its suburbs, the whole DE
ing termed the metropolitan area.
Larger Cities Lose Out
The census bureau, however Cat
least at first), obtains the popula-
titD within the actual city, suburbs

On this basis land any other
basis, the three leading cities OF
the country for many years past
will retain their rank. New York
City is first. Chicago second. Phil
adelphia third.
Detroit Is looked upon as win
ming fourth place again, although
Los Angeles, rapidly pushing up
ward in probably the most remark
able population fight on record,
claims fourth place. II wasn't so
many years ago that Los Angeles
was a village.
Eastern cities say they could
easily outdistance Los Angeles if
they embraced as many suburbs as
she does.

Summer Days Are Picnic
Days for Children.
BIZ FLORENCE La GANKE.

AS soon as the days began to get
warm the children wanted to picnic.
Mrs. Lacey and Nancy planned a few
simple out-of-door affairs for warm
Saturdays.
They let the children pack the picnic
baskets and even plan the refreshments.
Claire and Judith had learned how to
make sandwiches and such simple
dishes as escalloped potatoes. Usually
which she put into thermos bottle.
With a dish of hot scalloped potatoes,
sandwiches of lettuce and fresh tomato
and small cup cakes, the children start
ed off as happily as queens.
Because they never had pickles and
rich, highly seasoned foods, like deviled
meats and eggs, 1t never occurred to
them to want something like that for a
picnic.
The youngsters used paper plates, pa
per napkins and pressed paper forks and
spoons. But they had been trained by
Mr.. Lacey not to leave debris after
them when they finished a picnic or
outing.
Occasionally they took their dolls
along. And nearly always they packed
a jumping rope, some bean bags, jacks
and soft bail.
This kind of an outing kept them out
in the sunlight. A piece of oilcloth
was carried to spread on the ground
before they set their table. The cloth
reached out far enough so that the
youngsters sat on it rather than on the
wet or damp ground. These picnic days
were red letter days for the children.
Occasionally they picnicked in the spa
cious back yard of Joan's home. That
was fun, too.

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

NAV q. 1865.-A recent visitor to
Mount Vernon described here today the
condition in which he found the home
of Washington after the four years OF
Civil War that has ragged around 1t. In
general, he said, the place Is In "a gooo
state Of preservation" None OF the
ravages Of war have apparently extend
ed to it.
The scouting parties Of both armies
throughout the war always regarded
Mount Vernon as neutral ground ana
never violated its precincts by acts OF
hostility.
The agent Of the Mount Vernon As
ISOLATION remains at the mansion. he
is a bitter secessionist, not having WIS.,
tied Alexandria since the war because
of the necessity of taking the oath OF
allegiance to the United States Govern.
ment. His wife, however, has subscribed
to the oath and is allowed to come 10
the city for supplies.
The home Of Washington remains
precisely as it was four years ago, &C
cording to this informant. The same
table and blank book for registering the
names of visitors stands in the hall,
with the key to the French Bastille, pre-
scented by Lafayette to Washington,
hanging over them in its glass case, and
specimens Of wood and minerals above
the doors.
The agent, his wife and two or three
children occupy suite Of rooms on the
left of the hall and a few Negroes in
habit the kitchen.
In the dining hall are all three OF
Washingtons dining tables, an old,
feeble-toned harpSichord and the tripod
and compass with which their illustrious
owner surveyed the wilderness Of Lord
Fairfax's estate.
The stucco ceiling, representing
flowers and sheaves Of wheat, is in as
good condition as could be expected,
and with little early attention can be
preserved for many years. In the east
parlor are a sofa and rocking chair
and in the west parlor are terrestrial
globe and a dim, old sketch of a scene
before Carthage.
In the library Is the original plaster
cast of Washington by Houdon and
cast of Lafayette. The few books are
all of modern production with the ex-
ception of the gray, old volume entitled
can Essay on Notifications" with
George Washington" on the fyleaf.
With the book is letter dated 1898 to
Rev. Mr.. Fairfax.
Throughout the mansion there reigns
IAN oppressive stiffness, broken only by
the echo Of footsteps on the bare floor"
The dim, time-stained rooms, the de-
serted fields and the unbroken surface
of the wide Potomac River lend feel
ing of loneliness which no effort can
shake of" add this observer.
