REVISED CONGRESS
T0FOLL0W CENSUS.
Eleven States Expected to
Gain and Seventeen Lose
in Reapportionment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Each new tally on the 1890 census,
now more than three-fourths completed,
brings reapportionment closer to those
newly-populous sections termed by the
House census committee the $4,000, 900
people without fair and equitable rep
reSentation.
That committee estimated the 1882
poSt-reapportionment elections will wit
ness additions to IL State delegations.
Subtractions from ia considerable
change in the complexion of Congress.
California, the chief gamer, will be
entitled to six additional Representa-
tives by the census committees advance
calculations, while Michigan would get
four and Ohio three. Representative
Grail, Republican, California, and Rep
resentative Hudson, Republican, Mich
igan, lay claims to the most populous
district" title, each representing about
100000 people on 1910 ratio OF
211 BIT persons per representative, and
a probable 1880 ratio Of 280,700. Con-
stituencies of a half million have been
taken for granted in Lower California,
Detroit and its environs, and In Day.
ton and Toledo, Ohio.
Situation Unprecedented.
This situation, characterized as Gun
precedented in history" by the census
committee when 1t reported the reap
portionment bill, arose from failure to
reapportion on the basis of the 1920
| census.
Representative Grail advanced the
opinion that the City of Los Angeles
parts and that of Representative Evans,
Republican, California, into four. Grail
optimistically estimated that California
might get at least IL new Congressman
instead of the estimated six.
The Michigan delegation looks for
ward to bitter political fight over re-
apportionment, which may even result
in a system of added Congressman at
large.
Trend Toward Cities.
The Michigan trend of population in
| the last 20 years has been toward the
cities, and southwark. The rural dis
| trictS, fighting to retain their repre-
sentation, are expected to make re-
apportionment campaign issue.
One curious result Of the reapportion-
ment will be the division OF power in
Arizona, single representative State,
which will gain a second. Representa-
| tive Douglas, Democrat, who has
covered $1,000 miles in his campaigns
and who has consulted with himself and
caucused with himself, will hereafter
share with another.
Four solo States remain, Nevada, New
Mexico, Delaware and wyoming. unless
| the 1880 census does something unex-
pected in those localities.
Other States are expected to gain as
follows; Connecticut, /; Florida, /; New
Jersey, 2; North Carolina, /; Oklahoma,
/; Texas, 2, and Washington, /.

RAMA The Hero of India Valmiki's
"Ramayana" done into English for Boys and
Girls BY Dhan Gopal Mukerji, author of
"Gay Neck" etc. Illustrated by Edgar Parin
D'Aulaire New York E. p. Dutton & Co.
THERE is no age limit for the readers Of
Dian Gopars stories. Did you my young
friend of 90 years more or less, read "Ghond
the Hunter" or Gay Neck the brave and
beautiful war pigeon? Well, in that case, you
know what I mean. Dian Gopal has found
out that age is an external alone, that the
spirit is ever young and simple and sincere.
And So always he feels and talks and writes
toward the young thing inside which everybody,
everywhere, always is. And SO here he tells to
all of us the story of midas age-old hero, the
great Rama. Divine in origin, all national
heroes in the course of long ages grow to be,
this one partook in part of the sorrows of man
and in other part of the sustaining power of
one greater than man. Many incidents in the
earthly life of Rama are here set down. His
own trials and temptations overcome and sur
mounted are but patterns of those suffered by
all around him. They lessons as well to
these lesser ones on the ways of righteous and
acceptable living
These stories-30 and more-ten of the
marriage of Rama, of his coronation and uti-
mate exile exile beset by thousand perils
wherein jungle beasts do service to the beloved
animal and is less arrogantly set than
it is in the West. where the human has reached
50 prodigious q superiority of mind and power.
So, in this story there are many episodes, beau
tiful and warming ones, showing real kinshp
and mutual obligation between the two. Simple
and ideally poetic is the story of Rama. Dhan

SANATORIUNT; A. Novel. BY Donald Stewart
New York: Harper 81 Bros.
WHO would write novel about hospital life,

when it has been sponsored and dedicated by an
heir to the English throne-"a sanatorium' for
the treatment Of pulmonary tuberculosis?

novel, but does. And here it is The story
