Wealth Showered Upon
Favorites of Fortune

An American artist named Mott
Travelled to the Pribilof islands in a
sealing vessel year ago to paint
some pictures of seals in their native
home, and one day noticed a curious
bank Of sand lying close along the
shore. He dug into it, and found
beneath the sand mass Of bones.
They were seal bones-millions of
them-which had been flung up by the
sea in the course Of centuries. Further
search has shown that there are miles
Of these bone deposits along the
shores of the islands. One pile is
mile long, half mile wide, and six
feet deep. Now, bones are one Of the
best of all fertilizers, and the value
Of the find is simply gigantic-far
greater than that Of any gold mine.
This brings to mind the case of the
wandering prospector who, years ago,
while crossing desert in Wyoming,
came across the body Of a horse
which, though 1t must have died long
ago, was still fresh and sweet. The
body was covered with layer Of fine
dust, which the prospector recognized
as borax. He saw the value Of the
discovery and sold it to large pack
ing firm in Chicago, who kept the SCI
cret for long time. Today the uses
Of borax are innumerable, and range
from the preservation of food. down to
dressings for tired feet and lotions for
infamed eyes.

u. S. Leads World
In Telephone Use

America continues to lead the world
in telephone development. The Unit.
ed States not only has more tele-
phones than all the rest Of the world,
but it Is also foremost in the num-
Der of telephones relative to popula-
ton with 1853 instruments for each
100. people. This was nearly ten times
as many telephones for each 100 peo-
pie as there were in Europe or all
over the globe, according to the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany's world census of telephones as
Of January /, 1929. The only country
with telephone density approaching
that of the United States is Canada
with 1877 telephones per 100 popula-
ton. New Zealand comes third with
1912. followed by Denmark with "a:
Sweden with 10, and Australia with
7.6 telephones per 100 population.
Germany ranks second to the Unit.
ed States in absolute number of tele.
phones, but has only 4.6 per 100 popu.
lation. Great Britain has 3.S and
France 2.3. Argentina, with the same
telephone density as France, outranks
the rest of South America. Japan and
the Union Of South Africa lead their
respective continents, each with 1.3
telephones per 100 population.
Smaller cities, towns and rural dis
tricts in the United States are excep-
tionally well provided with telephones.
In this country communities Of less
than $4,000 population average 1875
telephones for each 100 people. This
Is greater than the total telephone
density of any other country except
Canada, and exceeds the telephone
facilities of most European cities.
Telephone statistics Of the world
are Of increasing Importance with the
rapid growth Of international tele-
phone service. At the present time
nineteen countries comprising most Of
Europe, four countries which make
up the greater part of North America,
three countries in South America and
one district in Africa, can be reached
from any Bell System telephone.

Changes Show That Many
Will Lose Seats in Con-
gress While Others Gain.

Washington, Aug. s (UP)-Tne
population of the United States on
April /, the date of the 18th decen-
NAL census, was 122,698,1aO. the
census bureau announced officially
today.
1t is an increase of 16,o87.570, or
1871 per cent, over the 105,71O,6o0
total registered in the 1920 census.
The census bureau also announc-
ed today the population of the As
states and the District of Colun-
bia. which in addition to bringing
an index of the trend of population,
is of political importance in that it
is used as basis for assigning the
number of seats each state will
have in the house of representa-
tives.
Computations by the United Press
verified by government experts, re-
veal the representation o. 35 of the
4s states will be affected by the new
census figures.
Lose Representatives
These computations show that
unless the census bureau later re-
vises the population totals, or con-
gress changes the basis of reap
portionment. neither of which is
considered likely, % states will lose

will gain an equal number
The population figures announced
today are the first official totals
available from the recent census for
the nation and most of the states.
Only is state totals previously had
been announced by the census bu-
reau. The figures are still subject
to future revision, though sucn
changes are expected to be slight.
The figures show New York state
has, by far$the greatest population
among the states, with a total of
1e,619.5o3. Pennsylvania is second
with 9,s4o,S02, and Illinois third
with 7so7,6S4.
California, however, led the ma
ton in population increase, both
numerically and on percentage
basis. The states percentage in
crease OF SIS per cent was far
ahead of any other. Florida being
next with STA.
In addition. and contrary to ear
lier estimates, California also led all
in the number of new citizens. its
increase was 2,245,1S4 as compared
with 2,234,274 for New York New
York, second in numerical increases,
was ninth in the list on a percentages
basis, gaining Els per cent.
All Gain But One
All of the As states and the Dis
trict Of Columbia showed an in
crease in population except Mon
tana, which dropped from 54S,S59
to 536,332, or % per cent. Georgia
reported the smallest gain, SSH or
OF per cent.
Nevada remained the least popu-
New Britain herald., 1930-08-08

lated of the states, although a gain
of 17.5 per cent was shown. Its
1880 total was only 90,s81.
The census bureau did not an
nounce the total population of the
United States and all its posses
sions. 1t did, however, announce
the population of Alaska as 5S,758;
Hawaii. $685., and Porto Rico, L.
543,913.
The rapid growth of California is
reflected in the reapportionment
figures. The far western state will
gain nine congressman, giving it a
total of 90 instead of II.
Texas Gains Three
Michigan is the next biggest gain
er, with II instead of 10 house seats
while Texas has a gain OF three.
from IS to 81.
Missouri, as expected, will be the
biggest loser, dropping three seats.
An unexpected change will be loss
of one seat for Massa chusetts, while
other unlocked for changes are the
elevation of Arizona and New Mex
leo from the group of states hav-
ing only one representative.
Recent estimates also were re-
vised for Oklahoma, Pennsylvania
and Wisconsin. Oklahoma will gain
one seat. instead of returning its
present eight, Pennsylvania will
drop two seats instead of one. and
Wisconsin will lose one instead of
retaining its present number, II.
These estimates are based upon
the reapportionment method ap-
proved by congress a year ago. This
method will be used unless the 20
states which lose representation are
able to get congress to approve a

SHOWS HE|RESSES
BUSINESS METHODS
Mrs. Roger Babson Conducts
Novel School for Girls

Wellesley Hills, Mass, Aug 8
(uP)-A college without a college
cheer, where a lecture hall might
be mistaken for a well-appointed
business office. has been created to
guide young heiresses in the care
of the fortunes they may some day
inherit.
1t is novel institution, this
school founded by Mrs. Roger w.
Babson, wife of the noted statisti-
clan and financial prpgnosticator, as
an educational experiment calculat-
ed to crowd into a single year an
intensive course in business man
sgement.
In warm weather the school,
known as Weber college, holds
classes in Boston. In the winter,
faculty and students migrate to
Babson Park, Fla. Transportation
facilities are not hard pressed by
the migration. Thus far the high
est student enrolment has been 5,
four more than the faculty roster.
A Weber college student is as
sessed $1,000 as tuition, but this COW
ers not only the cost of the years
obstruction but railroad fare to and
from Florida, living expenses there,
books and supplies. and the use of
tennis courts, golf course, boats and
riding horses.
Have Secretaries
Seated at her fiat-top business
des surrounded by modern office
equipment. the Weber college girl
has a secretary to whom she may
dictate her class material. The class
room atmosphere is intended to re-
eemble that of a business office.
Statistics show that 95 per cent
of all women who have an earned
or inherited capital of only $4,000
eventually lose it through poor in
veGtments." said Executive Secfe-
tarv Winslow l.. Weber in discuss
ing the college here yesterday.
Likewise by far the greater por-
ton of women who enter business
fail because they do not understand
the underlying principles of correct
management. A young woman may
be extremely we'll educated, have
energy and ability. yet be totally
unable to take care Of her proper
ty whether it consists OF stocks or
bonds, real estate or a going bust
ness enterprise"
Open to All
The sole purpose of the college
us to prepare young women for the
responsibilities they will incur in
handling their business and invest
>ment problems" Weber said. 1t
was pointed out that the school was
not exclusively for heiresses. and
that a Small salaried stenographar
who wished to better herself might
enter+provided she could obtain
the $500 tuition.
A wide range of courses is offer
ed by the college. In addition to
the conventional courses dealing
with the general subject of cconom-
les, the heiress- student may browse
over the problems of the income
tax, the sociology Of philanthro-
pies" business psychology and bust
ness management.
The college is fashioned after the
Babson institute, a similar school
for young men established by Bah
son 10 years ago.

FOR VALLEY MEN

NEW YORK.-In protest of the i'm
prisonment of the Imperial Valley
workers who were sentenced up to AZ
years for organizing agricultural
workers into militant unions and are
now serving their sentences in Cali
fornia, the District International
Labor Defense will devote the week
of December sixth to militant cam

The LID. is rallying all its
branches in the district for a house
to house canvass for distribution of
literature on the Imperial Valley case,
the getting of members for the LID,
distributing Labor Defenders and
getting subscriptions for the only
labor pictorial in the country.
The Imperial Valley case is one of
the outstanding labor battles in the
country today and marks the coming
back of the Criminal Syndicalist law
of California that is being enforced
once more against the militant work
