had also traced a large map of the
continent on cardboard and had p1 ced
pictures of the different acts
grown in each respective country. In
making this previous preparation
the study of the country, people, and

Question: What is wrong with this

A hundred years ago, 2,208 men
worked to gather facts for the
United States census. The Nation
at that time had 1,753,000 square
miles of land, more than half as
much as the 48 States have today.
Nine and seven-tenths persons lived
on each square mile, on the average.
or about one-fourth as many as on
each square mile today.
The number of people in the
United States In 1840 was figured
at 17069, 900. The number in the
country this year is yet to be found
out, but I can tell you at least one
secret-this years number will prove
to be larger! I shall not be surprised
II the population Is found to be
almost eight times as great as it was
. century ago, not counting the
territories.
The report for 1910 had about
; $500 pages. Half a century later
the census report contained 26,400
pages!
Forty-six thousand persons took

Berserk
Adj. Frensied; enraged.

This word should not be accented

Berserk was hero in Scandina-
Wan mythology. He was famed for
the needless frenzy of his fighting.
He would charge into battle, wear
ing no armor, foaming at the mouth
and bowling like wolf, figure so
terrifying that no enemy had the
courage to face him.
His stalwart sons, too, were mighty

United Staies Notio
 Recognize Any Transfer,
 New World Possessions

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Senator Key Pittman of Nevada and Repre- sentative Sol Bloom of New York, have introduced identical resolutions in Congress declaring that the Unit ed States would not recognize any transfer and would not acquiesce in any attempt to transfer any geo. graphcial region of the Western power to another American Hemisphere from one American power if such transfer or attempt to transfer should appear likely.
 The United States shall, in addi- ton to other measures, immediately consult with other American repub- lies to determine upon steps which should be taken to safeguard the common interests"
 The resolution, in effect, would extend the Monroe Doctrine. through interpretation The Monroe Doctrine has already been extended this far by the President.
 The purpose is obviously to fore stall any German attempt. if victor ious in the present war, to claim any British, Dutch, French or Danish possessions in the new world.
