MEN OUTNUMBERED in
BIG CITIES, NOT
IN COUNTRY

Women are carcn1ng up on the
men, in number, in Minnesota,
and in the two largest cities have
to pass them, it is shown
in a study of population trends In
Minnesota by Professor Robert
w. Murchie of the university.
In 1850 there were 81 males in
the state to every 38 females but
in 1880 the ratio had been drasti-
sca1ly changed to 52.18 men to
every 1882 women.
Among the foreign born white
population, those who came as
immigrants, there is still a natur-
al preponderance of males, which
in 1890 was 217,983 males to 170,-
OBJ females.
Today, OF the three largest
cities, Duluth is the only one re-
tanning masculine predominance,
as might be supposed from its
position nearer the frontier.
There the ratio is 1922 males to
100 females, but in Minneapolis,
males are but 94.4 to 100, and in
st. Paul 93.9 to 100. Forty years
earlier, in 1890, all three cities
were far more masculine than
feminine, Duluth having the ov-
erwhelming ratio of 1913 to 100.
Of marital status, the report
said: Minnesota has a larger
percentage of both male and fe-
male unmarried persons than the
United States as a whole, and
when the population of the state
is divided into urban, farm and
village, it is seen that while 35
per cent of the urban males Is
years and over are unmarried,
458 per cent of the same age do
miciled on the farm are single.
The village population is quite
similar in this respect to the ur-
ban population and both of these
are comparable to the population
of the United States.
On the other hand of the urban
females in this age group 80 per
cent are single, while the farm
population is only 20 per cent sin
gle and the village % per cent.
The significance in the difference
in the proportion of unmarried
males and females in the farm
population lies, first of all, in the
unbalanced sex ratio. but chiefly
in the unequal economic oppor-
tunities for single males and fe-
males in farming community
The absolute figures show Isl ,871
single males and 1882 single fe-
males. The old problem of chow
to keep boys on the farm" appar-
emily needs restatement with a
change in gender.

G. M. Babcock under whose di-
rection Minnesota ''got out of the
mud" and built up highway
system which is his monument,
died Monday night at his home in
Elk River where, as merchant,
he became interested in road de-
velopment when rains, snow and
the spring breakup interfered
with trade. He was 65 years old
and national figure in highway
circles.
Mr.. Babcock devoted % years
to the Minnesota highway depart
ment, being replaced January /.
1888. He served from 1910 to
1917 as a member of the three
man commission after which the
commission plan was abandoned
and he became the one man
"czar" of state roads. He worked
out the state highway routes and
was largely responsible for get
ting the plan through the legisla-
ture and approved by the voters.
Under his direction the states
paved highway system grew from
nothing to 1,400 miles.
