taken such full advantage of these new
opportunities as may be expected when
the service is fully developed and more
widely known. The list of consultants
this year includes Prof Harry w. Tyler,

Changing Conditions in New
England Factory Cities

New England's largest textile centers are in Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island. Changing conditions in
the textile manufacturing business are reflected in the
population returns Of the 1880 census compiled thus
FAR in the various cities of the textile regions. In
several Of these cities from which returns have been
reported. decreases are shown.
New Bedford, regarded as the center Of fine cotton
goods manufacturing was ciedited with a population
Of l2i 217 in 1920, had 34ls fewer residents in 1880.
Fall River shows a loss OF 4474 in the lO-year period.
Lowell reported a decrease Of 1900. North Adams
a decrease of 1853, while Holyoke lost 1856 residents.
Manchester, N. H. is a very important industrial
center. 1t recorded a loss in population Of 1878 from
the 1920 total Of 70,384. Lest we forget, the South
and the West produce the cotton and the mohair and
the wool and the gas and the oil as well as all other
raw materials which enter into the manufactured
goods in demand the world over. Is the sceptre OF
manufacturing power to be handed on TO the Caro-
linas and other states of the Old South east Of the
Mississippi river? Why ask the question? Read the

was awfuly fussy about crumbs on floor. Pleaded
with him to take one cracker as a personal favor.
Said he was too busy, but TO come back Wednesday.
wednesday-Up early and to Mr.. Edison with oys-
ter cracker as per appointment. Mr.. Edison in con-
ference. Sent the oyster cracker to him with sug-
gestion he eat it at once. Mr.. Edison refused, saying
