Seattle Census Passes 365,000
Seattle Business Chronicle )

fSeattle Business Chronice)
 At present writing Seattle is restored to its former rank the Nations goth largest city. Lat est announcement by the United States Census Bureau gives Seattle population of 365,518, jump of more than 2300 previous preliminary figures and 1445 ahead of Indianapolis, which had tenn porarily supplanted Seattle in 20th place with 364, 073 counted and checked inhabitants Seattle's re- vised 1880 count represents increase of 5O,2O6 over it's 315,312 population of 1920 gain of 15.9 per cent. Revised counts give Spokane increase of Ill per cent. to 116,010; Tacoma, 102 per cent to 106885; Bengham, 1916 per cent. to 30602; Everett, 10.3 per cent to 30,498; Yakima, 1922 per cent to 22200
 Washington's 1930 population in this latest re- vision becomes 1561 967 increase of 205,346, or 151 per cent-a respectable figure than the TAT per cent gain previously indicated
 Popular impressions often erroneous. Port land is thought of and referred to city of homes Seattle is commonly supposed to be city of apartments Yet figures obtained by the Wash ngton State Architect show that Seattle is out standing in the matter of home-ownershp. Gov ernment statistics said to show that 46.6 per cent of Seattle families live in their homes Portland is not far behind to be sure, with 44.6 per cent. of it's families in homes of their own but that the difference is not the other way around constitutes the surprise. Both cities far ahead of many in the United States in percentage of home ownership. San Francisco has only 27.4 per cent of it's families in their homes Chicago 27 per cent; Boston, 185 per cent Washington, 30.3 per cent; Kansas City, BAT per cent Los Angeles BAT per cent

CALIFORNIA THROUGH WITH WITCH
 BURNING.

Almost pleasing the nomination of Mayor Rolph for Governor by California Republicans was the relegation of Buron Pitts of Los Angeles to third place in the race MT Fitts is one of those Prosecuting Attorneys that set out to make record of sending people to prisons than other Prose- cutting Attorneys-such record seemed so glorious in the eyes of Mrs Willebrandt few years ago He achieved his ambition, sending thousands to the pens and jails, largely beating the record of his predecessors. And greatest of all achievements were the shining lights that were forced to walk the thorny path to prison: he sent over the road his predecessor, the who had made him assistant prosecutor and gave him his chance in the sun, and the millionaire Pantages.
 Strange as it may seem there those who gorify in that sort of record We have grim old Puritans with us yet, hidden away in shadowed pews who feel that the Lord is being served when his creatures tortured Perhaps many of them would prefer to apply torch to faggots, but that being prohibited since witch-burning days, they screech with delight when some citizen is dragged from his family and associates and locked inside the grim, sun-excludng walls of penitentiary. There are, too sensationalists who hope to profit in some way by some sort of utilization with a like Fitts and they dance in the weird light of his burning birthstone they chortle their sup port of his candidacy for higher honors.
 Los Angeles has often been hypnotized by her Fittses and other mrid selfadvertsers who perform either in the name of the law upon the emotions of hysterical women and effeminate men, that it is refreshing to see California respond to campaign of common sense was done when, following the leadership of wise Mayor Rolph Buron Fits the sensational filler, was denied fullflment of his demand for high reward for welding a scourge

The United States forges ahead in shipbulding According to Lloyd's Register of Shipping, volume of ship construction in this country has doubled in the past year and the Nation has jumped iron, seventh to second place in this activity Merchant ships under construction July said to amount to 238163 tons compared with 119098 one year ago.
 Great Britain and Ireland continue in the lead Iby wide margin, having 1,392063 tons of mer- chant ships their ways Germany, which long has been in second place, is nosed out of that rank since it's tonnage under construction was re- ported as 7468 tons In the years interval this country also has passed Japan, Holland France, and Russia Ships under construction in those and few other countries July l of the fol- lowing ratings Holland, 187,445 tons; France 186,- 960 Russia, 156921; Italy, 143075 Sweden, 126 980; Japan, 12l 607; Denmark, 115,991.
 The impetus back of this shipbulding revival is the White bill passed by Congress in 1928 under which chance for profit in operation of Ameri can ships is extended by means of mail-carrying contracts and liberal loans to builders of vessels are made More than $93 100000 has thus far been loaned to make possible the construction of 34 ships.
 There those who say that this country can not win the because it lacks seamen. For long period there has been truth in that However, various steps being taken to give this country adequate quota of adept seamen. California has for time been developing the nautical Schoolshp plan by which young given maritime training. Mas sachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania also have schools of this nature, aided by Federal funds The Governor of Maine, who recently visited the Pacific Coast, is actively working for establishment of a seamens training school in his State By means of questionnaires he reports having quickly had response from 450 boys of high school age who wish to take such training The number may be trebled when he has complete response to the ques- tionnaire

c. o. P. ABANDONING PROHIBITION.

One by one Republican Senators and Represen- tatives in Congress and Congressional candidates are announcing that they will abandon Prohibition whenever the electors of their States indicate that they are against it. And Republican State after another is swinging from dry to wet.
 It is becoming more and plain that if the drys want to have political party with Presi- dential candidate in the field they must form one for themselves. Most Democrats and Republicans have been Prohibitonists at heart Their party leaders have here and there traded them selves into easy majorities by pretending that they were, but that is all. The politicians will drop drys like cold potatoes the minute they see that they

Sounding note of warning against the evils of red and com munistic propa ganda. and particu larly as it concerns the minds of the modern boy and girl of New Britain, Stanley H. Holmes, super intendent of schools has prescribed year around recreational activity under the direction of trained men and women. as the surest and safest remedy He asserted that through this method alone could the mind of the child be kept free from what he termed the insidious poison of this unpopular and foreign in fluence.
 He strongly advocated the alloca- ton of local centers where the youth of the city might congregate and enjoy the type of companion ship so necessary to youths of the marriageable age and as strongly condemned any denial of legitimate pleasure to these youths.
 He further roundly scored the absence of proper meeting places, where men might come together, and enjoy the pleasure. of each others company and claimed that the fact that such movements would entail large sums of money should not deter action on such projects.
 He bemoaned the fact that the communistically inclined had seen the benefit of these meeting places and with the end in view of proVid- ing places for male gatherings, were going ahead with their plans to force by gentle means their un- patriotic and un-American ideas into the minds of those who might gather within their rooms
 It was his fondest hope, he said, that some action of these matters would find support from the civic societies and some plan formulated for their successful adoption.
