Population of the Hawkeye State

Iowa is one Of the foremost agricultural states OF
the Union. Iowa is said to be one Of the most pro-
gressive states. Iowa IS not moving forward very
fast, speaking Of increase IN population. This IS the
figure: State Of Iowa 2,46S,747, compared with 2,4O4,-
O21 in 1920. This is slightly less than one third the
gain Iowa showed between 1910 and 1920 Now the
leaders are forecastin2a period OF industrial develop
ment for Iowa for the reotson that the largest gains
in the population Of the state were made by manu-
featuring centers. AS for many Of the smaller towns,
they are going backward. Comment is unnecessary.

Automobiling now takes its position alongside Of
war, famine and ~pestilence as a cause Of human suf-
fering. IN the eyes I. the Red Cross. The society,
sensing that the Sunday auto tour and the weekday
ride through traffic have become as bloody as the
great battles Of history. announces plans 70 succor
the wounded.
The National Red Cross will now establish stations
along the main highways, dotting the country with
dressing stations and seeing that every dangerous in
tersection has its supply Of ltniment, adhesive tape,
splints and bandages.
The announcement will be welcomed by automobile
owners. It gives them the comfortable feeling that
if the boiler is sideswiped by the fire chiefs auto they
won't have TO look for a crutch. When the crash
comes, the driver Of each vehicle will know there is
a fair chance he may be pitched directly through the
windshield into a dressing station with no interme-
date stops.
The Red Cross nurse will soon become a familiar
figure in every traffic jam. And, with this recog-
milton Of automobiling as a full sister Of war. the So
ciety may soon have home units making ~bandages for
tourists, knitting socks for careless taxicab drivers
and writing letters to wounded and friendless motor
cyclists.
Wayside stores. gas stations. hot-dog stands, bar
Der shops and corner drug stores are to be commits
stoned as Red Cross stations. Local chapters will be
charged with the duty Of seeing that picnickers
knocked through the roof Of a flivver get prompt at
tention and that no WOUND autoist is left under his
car in a ditch pending instructions by letter from
distant relatives.
Red Cross markers will dot the highways denoting
the distances between first aid stations. You know
