LARGEST FAMILIES
in NATION FOUND
in THE CAR0LINAS

According to the preliminary count
just completed by the bureau of the
census, there were 29,9SO,146 fam
lilies in the United States in April,
1880.
The population per family in 1880
was Al as compared with 49, in 1920,
indicating an appreciate decrease in
the average size of the family in the
1o-year period. The average popula-
ton per family in 1910 was 4.5; in
1900, AZ; and in 1890, 49,. The
total number of families in 1880 re-
presents an increase of 5,628,470, or
23.1 per cent, as compared with the
24,351,676 families reported in 1920.
The term "family" as used in this
preliminary count, signifies a group
of persons, whether being related by
blood or not, who live together as one
household, usually sharing the same
table. One person living alone is count
ed as a family, and at the other ex-
IRENE, all the inmates of an institu-
ton, or all the persons living in a
boarding house are ordinarily counted
as INT family. The detailed tabulation
Of the family statistics will deal pri-
marily with private families, exclud-
ing institutions and other large I'M
related groups.
Among the states, the average pop
ulation per family was largest, 49, in
North Carolina, while South Caro-
lima was second with ~. The smallest
population per family was 3.5 in Cali
fornia and Nevada. The greatest de-
creases in population per family were
from 4.6 to A. in both Oklahoma and
Texas, and from as to SO in the
District of Columbia.

TRACES BOOKED
| WITH CADDOCK

That scoundrel of wrestling,
George .TragoS, has been matched
with Babe Caddock for the semi
final match of Promoter Joe
Turner'S program at the Clark
griffith Stadium next Thursday
might. Turner today stated that
many local fans had asked him
to bring this pair together.
Local fans have no love for
Tragos and he is about as hated
as "Tigah" Nelson. On the other
hand, Caddock has a host of fol
lowers who will back him against
Tragos.
The feature match of the card
next Thursday nigIHt will bring
together Rudy Dusek and Dick

inspiring match. DuSek, anxious
to have another chance at Jimmy
Iondos, hopes to make the right
start in that direction by dis
posing of the hardened Davis
court.

BIG F|NSTERS
/ REPORTED
:. CAUGHT
BY GINO SINH

Continuous winds and the cold
snap has momentarily halted
fishing, but the sun growing con.
tinuously warmer and the weather
calmer, the angling pastime is ex.
pected to perk up somewhat over
the weekend.
Nothing much was reported
during the week though the week
previous, was marked by several
right respectable catches, includ-
ing hardheads, rocks and trouts.
The outstanding catches were
undoubtedly those of the Fox
Theater gang in waters around
Benedict. Leon Brusiloff, Morris
Freedman and Bob MullineX,
members of the Fox Orchestra,
came back with nifty haul Of
81 hardheads and trouts about
10 days ago.
A few days later Mullinex,
Freedman and Fontelroy Brown,
Fox electrical expert, slipped
down to Benedict and returned
with 40 Sizeable finSterS.
The FOxites attributed their
fine success to the fact that
they went out at 3 o'clock in
the morning, proving that not
only the early bird but also
the early fish catches the worm.
Tough on the worm!
AS if this wasn't enough piS-
catorial honors for the Fox, Har-
eis, who appeared on the stage
there this week, idled away a

Tuesday and snagged a five
pound bass. It was by far the
biggest one caught in these
waters. Not many have been
caught, however.
Frank Del Vecchio, Southeast
hardware merchant, returned
from fishing in the Rock Point
regions Sunday with seven nice
looking hard heads.
A mighty seven an three-quar-
ker-pound trout was the prize of
q chap named Norris got at Solo,
mons Island, according to Vic
GauZza. He only caught four
others besides the huge worm
inhaler, two hard heads and two
&routs, both in the neighborhood
Of two and one-half pounds.
Norris was well satisfied with
his catch. however.
Clint Tucker caught a hard
head off the pier at CheSa-
peake Beach recently, which
was the delight of Captain Haz-
Zard, Chesapeake Beach grizzly
fishing expert. It weighed
around six pounds.
A few other hard.heads were
hooked around the pier, and
many eels, great big, fat, stubby
eels.
Rock fish of pan size have been
caught at Point Lookout and
Copley Point and other sections
Of the lower Potomac. Crabs are
Swarming all through these
waters, and fishermen are devot-
ing considerable attention to
them.
Eastern Shore reports are rosy.
Cristfield visitors murmur that
hard-headS and trout are running
wild in those waters and getting
better all the time. Oh, we'll!
Last, but not least, Washing
tonians who feel the fishing
urge, without the nomadic desire
to go to distant places, have been
capturing a few yellow perch at
