been unable to obtain Coast

but that he was doing everything
he could to get favorable action
on the project.
The second wire was from
Senator Andrews, who stated
that he was doing all he could
to alleviate the labor situation in
the city. due to WPA layoffs.

BIG CITIES SHRINK

Offhand one would hardly think that
some of the largest cities of the country
could have lost population during the last
10 years, but such is the case, according to
preliminary reports Of the 1910 census. In
fact, eight of the first % cities in respect to
population showed losses-Philadelph
Cleveland, St. Louis, Boston, Pittsburgh,
Newark and Rochester
New York showed gain of four and
a half million, but Chicago barely held its
own, showing a gain of only about 5000.
Jersey City and Portland, Ore, were
crowded out of the list of largest %, Jer-
sey City dropping from 23d place to 3Oth,
which isn't anything for Mayor-Dictator
Hague to crow about Houston and Denver
Houston jumping from 18th place to 21st.
Washington passed the half-million
mark for the first time, now having $685.,
1913 inhabitants, a gain of 1924 in 10
years. This increase was due largely to
the greater number of government pay
rollers in the nations capital, which was
almost exactly doubled, not to mention
those who live nearby in the adjoining
states of Virginia and Maryland, but work
in Washington offices.
Smaller cities and towns nearly all
showed increases in population, as did
most rural communities. This is perhaps
a healthy trend, as concentrations of peo-
pie into small areas do not, as rule, make
for better or happier living conditions. The
next decade is expected to show still fur

10000 FLORIDIANS

meet the needs during the clos
ing months of the last fiscal
year.
The prospect is that unless
Colonel Harrington can be per
suaded otherwise, an additional
5000 odd viii be dropped from
the rolls within the next week or
two. Every effort win be made
to prevent this.
The situation is partly attri-
butable to the fact that large
WPA sums are being devoted to
construction in connection with
the defense program, but this
provides no employment for
thousands of women heretofore
assigned on sewing room and
other suitable projects, and the
same Is true of so-caIled white
collar workers.
About a dozen Florida COM
munities have been designated as
defense areas. Included are Key
West, Miami, West Palm Beach,
Tampa. Lakeland. Orlando, Ocala,
Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and
Pensacola. In many of these
communities the locally spcn-
sored programs have been either
slowed down or shut down alto
gether to provide for employment
on the defense projects in these
communities.

A SIGNIFICANT ANNIVERSARY

The 500th anniversary of the inven-
ton of printing by Johann Gutenberg is
being celebrated during the present year
of 1910, stimulated by the International
Association of Printing House Craftsmen
and other graphic arts groups.
Printing has become as commonplace
in our lives as the rising and setting of the
sun, yet it plays tremendous role in the
lives of every one of us.
You are awakened each morning by
an alarm clock which undoubtedly has a
printed dial. You arise from bed and dress
in clothes that are undoubtedly bought un-
der the. stimulus of printed advertisements.
Your daily newspaper was made possible
by Gutenberg's invention of printing. The
cereal on your breakfast table and the
brand of coffee you drink were undoubt-
edly bought because of merits attributed to
them in printed advertising. If you board
a train or ride a street car to work, you
hand the conductor a printed ticket or
transfer. And it is more than likely that
the selection of the car, if you drive to
work, was determined by the statements
made in print.
Imagine what chaos there would be in
any office or factory if every piece of
printing used in industry and commerce
were suddenly taken away. Modern in
ventions which we have come to look upon
as necessities could never have become so
widely publicized nor so highly developed,
had it not been for the service of the print
ing press.
The cost of enjoying these inventions
has been constantly lowered because print
ed advertising has developed far-flung
markets and made mass production pos
sible. 1t is doubtful whether there would
be automobiles, typewriters, airplanes,
radios, or motion pictures in the present
advanced state of their development which
we know today had it not been for print
ing Every practical invention has been
dependent on printing to further its adop-
ton and success.
1t is thus fitting that during the cur
rent year 1910 we should pay homage to
Gutenberg, the inventor of printing, the
man who gave mankind its choicest gift.
Gutenberg's invention has even made it
possible for you to read this EDITORIAL
simple task which few people could have
accomplished before the days of printing
and the rise of popular education.

1T DOESN'T AFFECT THE TRUTH

There are individuals who do not like
to read about the war in Europe. They do
not like the idea that the United States
may become involved in warfare.
Frankly, we would prefer to write
about something else besides war and we
do not relish the idea that this country
may have to face an enemy.
The fact is, however, that whether
we have war, or not, is matter that will
be decided by other nations. If they think
they can take what we have, they will at
tack us. What we prefer IS academic.

Some people are criticizing the song
God Bless America" as mawkish, but that
"The Star-Spangled Banner" is a patriotic
song, thrObbing with patriotism. They
should know that the melody of ''The Star
Spangled Banner" was a ribald drinking
song bearing the title ITO AnacreOn in
Heaven" However, there is nothing re-
variable in that, since fervent patriotic
cir and a rOusing drinking song both ap-
peal to the emotions in a marked degree.

"OLDS" CAR SALES
SHOW AN INCREASE
OVER LAST YEAR

Retail sales of Oldsmobile Skies
and Fights for the first ten days of
July totaled 5,661 units to show an in
crease of 1850 over the correspond
ing period last year when 2,762 cars
were sold, according to a report is
sued in Lansing this week by D. E..
Ralston, Oldsmobile's general sales
manager.
"While this increase in Oldsmobile
sales over last year is indicative of
the wide acceptance of our three lines
of cars this year, when compared to
the first ten days of June, it is also
evidence of the continued demand ma
tionally for our new cars" Ralston
said. Contrary to seasonal trends,
sales for the first ten days of July
exceeded the first ten days of June
this year by more than 179S," he add
ed. "Sales from June 1 to 10, inclu-
sive, totaled 1920 cars"
Ralston also reported that Oldsmo-
bile sales from January to July 10
this year had climbed to 11O,142 cars
and compared to the 1913 cars sold
during this period last year, showed
an increase of approximately 10 per
cent. Based on these figures as well
