The Government announced
yesterday that little more rub
ber will be available for tires and
other civilian uses in March than
in January and February, allaying
fears of a cut in tire production.
In announcing the new allot-
ment schedule, the National Pro-
duction Authority said it should
ride unchanged through the second
quarter of the year.
It also was learned that the
production authority is expected
to issue an order this week reduc-
ing the ceiling on the amount of
natural rubber that can be used
in passenger car tires for civilians.
The purpose is to maintain the
relatively high natural rubber con-
tent of truck and bus tires where
it is needed more.
An NPA official said, however
that tires made under the new
specifications would make little

is said now to be Is per cent
natural rubber to IS per cent
synthetic.
Because synthetic rubber is
cheaper than the natural product
some tire makers are reported
using IS per cent natural to IS
per cent synthetic. The NPA said
the rubber industry holds that
such tires meet acceptable stand
ards for safety and variability.
The new rubber allotment calls
for supplying manufacturers of
rubber products for civilians with
10000 long tons month for the
next four months. This compares
with an estimated consumption of
IS, 800 tons this month and be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 tons In
January.
While dry natural rubber for
civilian products will be reduced
from $1,000 tons this month to
$4,000 tons in March. increased
allowances of synthetic rubber will
more than make up the difference.

US. Has More Women
Than Men for First
Time in lis History
Census Also Reveals
Goin in Children, Elderly
And Married Persons

For the first time in the history
of the country, there are more
women than men in the United
States. the Census Bureau an
nounced yesterday.
There also has been a big jump
in the number of youngsters and
oldsters over the figures for 1910,
a larger proportion of married
persons and a significant rise in
the number of households.
These are some of the high
lights reported in the first break
down of the 1850 census of popu-
lation and housing. The figures
are still considered subject to final
check, but probably will not be
changed greatly.
14.5% Population Growth.
The census-takers found that
for every 1000 females there were
only 981 males last year. In
1910. there were 1907 males for
every 1000 females.
According to the breakdown, the
number of children under 10 years
old increased by 40 per cent dur
ing the 10-year period, while the
number of people over IS jumped
81 per cent. These age groups
represented by far the largest in
creases out of total population
growth of las per cent.
In one age group, from 10 to "a
years. there was an actual decline
of ga per cent. Population experts
point out that this reflects the low
birth rate characteristic of the de-
preston years of the 1930s.
Despite this fact, there were
more children in the schools. In
1850, there were 28.4 million chill
dren attending schools, not count
ing kindergartens, compared with
26.8 million in 1910. Almost one
fifth, or 2.9 million youngsters be-
tween 18 and "a years old were
attending school or college.
O-Thirds Are Married.
Two out of three Americans
over the age of 14-or 666 out of
1,000-are married. This COM
pares with the pre-war figure of
596 out of every 1000. Rejecting
this increase, the number of
households has jumped from 34.9
million in 1910 to 42.5 million
last year. The average number
of people in each household has
declined, from 81 to "a.
The Census reveals Americans
as a race of movers. In the single
year preceding the population
count last April, one-sixth of the
entire population, or about 25.5
million people, changed their ad-
dresses.
In general, the movement was
from the farms to the cities; or
from the cities to the non-farm
suburban areas. Census takers
found that 63.7 per cent of the
population lived in urban areas,
20.6 per cent in the suburbs and
only 15.6 per cent on the farms.
