CAPITAL GAINS
Il PER CENT

Washington's population has
increased by only 1864 during
the five years eIapsing since the
taking of the last police census
in 1925.
The police census placed the
population of the District at
472,052, while a preliminary of
the recently completed Federal
census gives the city 485,7l6. OF
the IA police precincts, eight
showed great population in 1925
than this year, the only ones
showing an increase being the
Fifth. Seventh, Ninth, Eleventh,
Twelfth and Fourteenth pre-
cincts. Part of this change, it
was pointed out, is due to the
fact that the boundaries of some
of the precincts have been altered
in the last five years.
FOresees Little Change
J. Sterling Moran. supervisor
of the census for the District,
yesterday declared that it is his
belief that the final report OF
the census will differ little from
the preliminary announcement.
He declared that of 200 known
to have been "holdouts," about
| so yesterday communicated with
census officials and said that the
remaining $50 will be enumera-
ted as quickly as possible.
It has been pointed out that,
in showing but little growth since
1925, Washington is following
the same trend that most of the
large cities of the United States
are showing. 1t is pointed out
that, while Washington showed
an increase of IL per cent during
the past 10 years, Baltimore
gained only 7.6 per cent. OBJ
servers declare that this is due
to the fact that people more
than ever before are settling in
the suburbs of the cities.
Auto Is Blamed
The coming of vhe almost uni
versal use of the automobile has
led many people, it was pointed
out, to settle in nearby Maryland
and Virginia and commute to
their work in the District. Hence
it is declared, the growth of cities
is coming to be considered as in
crease in the number of business
blocks,

inside. Sam leaped on a post, told the crowd to get back, named those who should be permitted to enter. and otherwise distinguished himself in aiding the officers. He was com plimented by Colonel Frank Evans, general of the Garde D'Haiti.
 Mistaken For Son of Leader
 Sam is often mistaken for son of Guilliame Sam, president, who was dragged from the French en- bassy in 1915 and murdered. He resents these references, because he is son of highly respected re- tired business man, and his grand father. Tiresias Sam. was one of the well liked presidents years ago.

FOOLS, FISHES AND GOWKS
 HAVE THEIR INNING TODAY
It's the First Of April When Wits Must be sharp to Avoid
 Embarrassment.

If anybody tells you today that George A. Quigley has withdrawn in favor Of Patrick F. McDonough or vice versa, don't look surprised. Just yell April Fool and spoil the joke.
 Dreaded by school teachers and parents alike, All Fools Day is here once more and juvenile brains vii! be racked in order to devise new gags, new jokes and new pranks All the old ones will be retained how ever and pedestrians are warned against stopping to pick up what appears to be a well-stuffed wallet.
 Many an unsuspecting person will probably be asked. 'Is that your dog?" and when they turn to look have themselves branded as an April fool.
 Not only the children but adults as well will take part in the whole sale tomfoolery that is one of the time honored complements of the day.
 The origin of All Fools day, though unknown. is not recent, as an old English almanac printed in 1760 contains this rhyme:
 The first of April, some do say
 Is set apart for All Fools day;
 But why the people call it so
 Nor I, nor they themselves, do
 know.
 In English speaking countries the victim of a joke is called an April Fool in France, an April Fish and in Scotland he is a gowk.

 Popular government went by the
 board here in 1915 when the United
 States stepped into the country. In
 the long intervening period many
 of the statesmen have got out of touch with governmental affairs
 and said so plainly when testifying
 before the Hoover commission
 Many of them frankly made a plea
 for cooperation of the young men
 in building the house anew under
 the commissions plan. These state
 ments impressed the five members
 of the commission very much, and
 they told the Haitians how young
 men were taking more interest in
 American government affairs.

 officers here "a natural leader" is
