CENSUS DIsAPPOINTMENTs

CENSUS DlSAIIUINIMENI
Probably 10 out of 20 American
cities and towns expected to make
population gains from the census.
But as the returns come in, it is
seen that a large number of them
have slipped backward.
Population gains will not come as
easily as in the past. The death rate
of course is falling somewhat, due
to better medical science and sani-
tary knowledge. But the birthrate is
falling even faster. 1t is possible
that 20 years from now, the birth
rate will be no greater than the
death rate, in which case the only
possible population gains are those
existing when immigration exceeds
emigration.
AS the American people are put
ting up stricter bars against immi-
grafton, we may soon approach the
time when we shall make no gains
from that source. In that case for
every city that goes ahead, some
other place will have to drop be-
hind. We are then up against a
sharp competition between advanc-
ing towns and declining ones.
1t should not necessarily be as
sumed, however, that a community
whose population has fallen off
moderately, has declined. 1t may
have done so much to improve its
equipment and facilities and busi-
ness, that it is more attractive and
prosperous in every way. Population
gains are important as an index of
real prosperity, but they are not the
most important thing.
The most vital things in COM
munity are to provide such good |
conditions that industrious =
people can afford to support their /
families in comfort, such good |
schools that their children will OBJ
tain a good start, such good social
and organization facilities, that peo-
pie will find useful activities, and
such opportunities for healthful re-
creation that they will gain physi-
eally and mentally.

HOW PROSPERITY IS SHARED

In former years, jealousy was felt
when some business man attained
success and made money. But to-
day it is seen that that is a very
short-sighted view. If a man makes
money in Milford, the whole town
shares his prosperity. He can en-
ploy more people, pay them better
wages, and give them more oppor-
tunities.
Also he pays more taxes, he can
do more to help public causes. He
is likely to contribute generously to
public enterprises. When we sup
port home enterprises, when we
patronize the stores Of our home
town, we help the business men at
tain a position where they can and
will do more for the community.
F0e9%
AN IDLE MAN represents a waste
of energy. He is loss to the COM
munity, just as an unused machine
is a loss to the factory that paid
out it's good money for it. And just
as an unused machine tends to rust
out, so an idle man, if his idleness
continues long enough, often loses
something of his power and courage.
SeS
FRIENDLY TALK when you meet
your neighbors is fine, but friendly
action shown by patronizing the
home stores operated by those
is equally desirable.

The day began with personal talk
with Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. SO
crowded was the Byrd program that he
and Lindbergh had only IL minutes to-
gether, but they made an appointment
to meet again, after the admirals round
Of welcome celebrations is over, for q
more lengthy discussion Of the many
phases of aviation, in which they are
mutually interested
Then Admiral Byrd hurried downtown
TO luncheon of the Chamber of Com
merce Of the State of New York, where
he followed his usual custom OF an
nouncing that he appeared merely as
the spokesman for his men.
During the afternoon he attended to
duties incident to the demobiltZatlon
of his little army and in early evening
went to Brooklyn to attend a dinner
given in honor of Bernt Balchen, chief
pilot Of the expedition, by the Morse

L|NDBERGH BABY'S

BY the Associated Press.
ENGLEWOOD, N. j.. June 24.-Pub-
lie interest in the son born to Col. and
Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh was CEN
tered today upon the choice Of a name
for the famous infant.
Despite the reticence of Col. Lind
bergh and other members of the Morrow
household since the announcement of
the birth of a seven and three-Quar-
terS. pounds boy Sunday, the public
seemed to take 1t for granted that the
child would be christened either
Charles Augustus, jr., after his father,
or Charles Dwight a name combining
that of his father and his maternal
grandfather, Ambassador Dwight w.
Morrow
Unofficial word filtered past the
guards at the gate of the Morrow es-
tate that Mrs. Anne Lindbergh and the
son born on her twenty-fourth BIRTH
day were making satisfactory progress"
but that was all.
Messenger Boy Busy.
A messenger boy toiled up the hill
to the Morrow home at half-hour in
tervalS all day yesterday, each time
bringing a sheaf of kilograms and
cablegrams of congratulation from all
parts of the world. Among them were
messages from President Hoover, Don
Manuel G. Teller, Mexican Ambassador
to Washington, and persons prominent
in aviation circles.
A. baby carriage manufacturer who
attempted to deliver a sample of his
product as gift to the Lindbergh baby
was turned back at the gate with the
information relayed from the house
through the guards that the Lind
berghS had not ordered q baby carriage
and did not want one.
May Make Long Trip.
Next in interest to the probable name
Of the baby were the future plans Of
the Lindbergh family.
Col. Lindbergh, who called upon Rear
Admiral Richard E. Byrd yesterday said
that he hoped in the near future" to
make a tour of all the Pan-American
Always lines. He is technical adviser
for the lines. Such a trip would take
him down the west coast as far as San
tiago de Chile, across the continent to
BuenoS Aires and down the east coast
to Rio de Janeiro. His previous South
American flights have taken him to
Venezuela, Colombia, Dutch and Brit
ish Guiana.
One newspaper heard that ship
yard had been ordered to prepare the
Lindbergh honeymoon power yacht for
a cruise within month. Reports
were that the Lindbergh family planned
a cruise as soon as Mrs. Lindbergh is
able to travel.

NEW YORK, June 24.-Describing
the Antarctic as the worlds last frontier.
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd last
night pictured that frozen territory in a
radio speech broadcast over a Nation
wide network from the studios of the
Columbia BroadcaSting System He
stressed his belief that much more Ant
arctic exploration will be required to
solve its mysteries.
Icy wastes, where penguins and seals
are the only native life, were described
by the admiral, who illustrated the vast
extent Of the territory by pointing out
that its 4500 600 square miles are about
equal to the extent Of the United states
and Mexico combined. He said the Ant
arctic might one day develop unsuspect-
ed power.
The great Ross Barrier, a mysterious
floating mass which has dehed the in
qutrteS Of science, was described In some
detail.
The mysterious Ross Barrier is 500
miles long" said Admiral Byrd. 1T is
afloat. and, despite our investigations, it
Is still somewhat Of mystery. Entirely
OF snow to the water line, il becomes
solid ice beneath the surface"
On this floating mass the expedition
camped part of the time. Admin al Byrd
said huge lcebergS kept breaking from
the Barrier. He told of one 80 miles
long. To escape being flung into the
sea. the expedition chose camp well
back from, the edge.
Admiral Byrd devoted a part of his
speech to his dog, Igloo. The animal
began his association with the explorer
on his North Pole expedition. Although
able to stand considerable cold, Igloo
could not endure 80 degrees below zero
in Little America; consequently the ex-
plorers made an "Esquimau suit for
Igloo, with boots, which enabled him
to venture out when the thermometer
was SO below"
Byrd told an amusing incident re-
garding Igloo's first meeting with the
penguins. who were almost human in
their Ciroll dignity" Igloo. he said, at
tackled the birds, but could not lick
them" Afterward he treated them with
much more respect.
The admiral also found time last
night to attend dinner by Norsemen
Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, in
honor of Bernt Balchen, first pilot for
the Byrd expedition. Several other
members of the expedition sat at the
table with Balchen.
