POPULATION FIGURES

There alway.tseems to be re-
port of r.5lne sort being iJsued from

Washington deaENeyith thu subject
of the nations Population. The sur
vey and predictions come to us
from the committee on population
problems, with many facts and fig
ures to prove their point. The sum
and substance lies in the fact that
instead of this nation going on in
definitely with an growing pop
ulation, she will reach a total of
about 159,O00,0O0 people by 1898, and
from that year on she will decrease
in number. The first census, taken
in the U. S. was in 1870, and there
were listed 3,920,214 inhabitants. A
fact is as we increase in population
the experts estimate that between
1885 and 1875 the number of per-
sons 20-44 years old would increase
only six percent, whereas the num-
Der 1854 years old would increase
SO percent. This is the more sur
prising outcome of the report, in our
minds, the fact that the number of
old people would be SO much great
err than the young. This nation has
offered it's biggest opportunities to
the young and to learn they would

PLAIN ARITHMETIC

This talk about every man shar-
ing alike, the talk about the redis-
tribution of wealth, with the end in
view of making each of us indie
pendent, gives the average Kenne-
wick man a chuckle when he takes
the time to figure out just what dis
tributing the wealth would mean to
him, personally. If the large for
tunes in the U. S. were to be taken
from the few and divided among
the many, you might believe it
would be possible to put For Sale
sign on the whole shebang, and take
life as you would like it. Before you
start making any plans on how you
would spend it, start in to figure
out about what you can expect to
get. We will take the wealth of John
d. Rockefeller as our first problem.
After dividing it we are left with
SITS coming to each of us. BY
counting on our fingers we can
manage SIS for each out of Henry
Ford's estate, because we had $780,
100000 to, work with. Then comes
the MELONS $95,00O,0OO, and we
come in to seventy-five cents. The
Hearst family would contribute $1.50
and we begin, about this time to add
the totals, coming out with 5000.
You see, when you have to divide
up with 13O,0OO,O0O folks, it doesn't
mean quit SO much. We might just
as we'll go out and take down that
For Sale sign and be happy we have
what we have-and earned it, A
fellow can't do much retiring on
5000.

be replaced by the old, seems a bit
unreal.
We have grown rapidly since that
first census in 1870 and we have
felt we would continue to grow as
each census year rolled by. 1t is
pot alarming to us around Kenne-
wick to learn of the decrease for we
won't be here to be affected by it.
The one thing we Americans would
not want would be an -populat-
ed nation, as we are too well aware
what the outcome of such con-
dition has done to many other
crowded nations. There Is the re-
sulting movement to other lands,
the too eager quest for acquisition
of new territory, dissatisfaction and
upheaval within and censorship and
dissension without. The report in
dictates that the decline in popula-
ton would be beneficial as the ratio
OF people and resources would be in
proportion to the demands, which
would result in higher level of
living.

While we don't, by any means, deny
that stealing watermelons is a
crime, shooting seems to us-par-
ticularly at this particular moment
too severe a penalty to exact.
There seems to be some sort of a
fascination about taking watermel-
ons by moonlight that affilcts the
youth of the entire country. Every
where Watermelons are grown, rails
ers find the same difficulty, and we
have yet to find grown man who
denies ever having swiped a melon.
Death by shooting, the loss of eyes
or limbs is not the way to prevent it
while the country is paying for po-
lice protection Taking the law into
ones own hands is never justified.

HAPPY TEETH

41f1I L LII IL
The result of experiments by two
doctors of Cornell University, A. L.
WinsloW and B. Korchin, shows
that our emotions cause decay and
aching of our teeth. The idea seems
to be that when our emotions are
affected the flow of saliva slows
down. When the saliva slows down
the saliva juice increases in acidity.
Which also means the more rapid
ly flowing saliva is alkaline. When
we are tired and need sleep, or when
we are under strain of anger, fear
or anxiety, the result leads to dental
decay The mouth becomes dry
when you worry or become angry.
The enamel of our teeth is easily
affected by acid. All of this goes
to show KenneWick folks that the
smile and sunny disposition should
result in set of happy molars, and
the froWn and growl will lead to an
early set of false ones" There are
a lot of unpleasant things in life
which we have previously met with
out thought for our bicuspids, but
after knowing the result of such in
attention we will consider the chew
ers from now on and take it all with
grin and an alkaline saliva flow.

John 'Hix

} A FTER dedicating four years Of
his life toward securing the in
dependence of his country from Aus
trian rule, Thomas Masaryk, Czecho-
slovakian patriot, on November IA,
1918, was awarded the honor of be-
coming that republics first President
Yet, strange as it seems, Masaryk
was $500 miles away from Czecho-
slovakia at the time of his election.
He had escaped from Austria in De-
cember. 1914, at the outbreak of the
World War, to conduct a political
and propaganda campaign in Swift
zerland, France, England. Italy, Rus
sia and the United States on behalf
of his people.
He came to the United STAGES in
May, 1918, and the result was the
Lansing declaration of sympathy with
the cause Of Czechoslovakia and
Yugoslav independence.
At the first meeting Of the new
CZechoslovak National Assembly at
Prague on November IA, 1918, Masaryk
was unanimously elected the first
President while he was in the United
States. He did not return to his
country until after the end OF the
war.
