Fascinating Data
The Population Reference
Bureau has some further fas-
cinatnig tidbits with which to
boggle the mind; for instance
'Of the approximately n
billion who have ever lived on
earth, one out of Is is alive
today.
'Japan's growth rate-1 per
cent a years. lower than most
in Asia and many in Europe;
its birth rate declined from
S43 per 10000, in 1s47 to 16s
today.
'Only three countries have
lost population in recent years
East Germany, Ireland and
North Wet Nam. Emigration
was the deciding factor.
'In Ireland, 46 per cent oi
the women between Is and IS
we're unmarried at last count
compared with only about II
per cent in the United States
'In 1870, there were less
than five people per square
mile in the United States; to-
day, with more than foul
times the territory, there are
81 people per square mile.
Eight babies are born ir
the United States every min
ute.
IF the US. birth rate con-
tinues at its present level, by
1870 the number of little girls
under 5 will be over three
times the country's population
in l776; and if you can figure
THAT one out. you will doubt
less want to know that the
number of boys under is ir
1870 will be larger than tht
national population at the time
of the Civil War. and that thf
number Of females will be
greater than the total popu-
lation Of the country in 1920
1t kind of makes 1870 a yeal
to look forward to.

Membership in the human
race is becoming less exclusive
by the minute: the latest world
population figure has been esti-
mated at 3,115, 100000.
The discouraging thing about
population figures, though, is
that in the time it takes to
write down-or even say aloud
the latest number it has
already become obsolete. Like
the marching Chinese (who
as every schoolboy knows
would never finish marching

tiplies too fast to count.
Every minute 200 babies are
born in the world, according
to the Population Reference
Bureau, a nonprofit organiza-

This makes a worldwide
yearly increase of more than

inhabit the United Kingdom
tenth largest nation in the
world.
Never So Fast
Never in history has the
worlds population grown SO
fast, the Bureau reports. About
a third of the people alive to-
day were born since World War
II. And if the trend continues,
the worlds population will
double in 40 years to over 6

Professor Of Education,

There are a number of
games that you can play this
summer that will help your
children's school work in the
fall.
For instance, here is one
family game that will help
children develop a dizziness
in the use Of their hands
that will make handwriting
and drawing easier in school.
Give each person in the
family a generous supply of
cheap paper and a soft lead
pencil.
Each person in turn sug-
gestS an object for everyone
to draw. Everybody draw a
horse" says Junior. Every
body draw a cat" says Mary.
Everybody draw a another
catl" says Mother.
As cats and horses and
other things are Sketched
time after time, skill is de-
voloped in control of hands.
No one ridicules the game
because everyone is doing it.
Time and REPETITION
Control Of the hands is
best gained by doing the same
activity over and over while
trying for improvement. If
one Of your children has an
extreme lack Of skill it will
take time and encouragement
to bring about real success.
Another fun-a n d-learn
game is called Where is it?"
Before dinner each mem
Der Of the family looks
through the evening paper
and locates an item with a
dateline. Each in turn names
a place in the news and
everyone tries to locate it.
A world map settles disputes.
Another game that en-
courages the use of hands
is "See what I made! "
1t requires such materials
as colored paper, crayons,
small odds and ends of wood,
spools, glue. string, scraps
Of cloth, etc.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I am
70-years-old and have driven
for over 40 years without an
accident or ticket for any
sort of violation. I am sick
and tired of hearing that
people over so are a menace
on the roads. Will you please
print this in your column?
Mr.. T.
AS IN A CASE Of disease.
I believe that age isn't so i'm
portant in driving as the
condition Of the individual
himself. Whether he is Is, 80
or 70-what kind of person
is he emotionally? What is
his physical condition?
It's true that the young
ster's reflexes are quicker
than the older drivers. But
the important thing Is this:
Does each driver realize the
safe limits of judgment.
Often the youth will take
chances with the odds against
him because he over-evalu-
ates his skill; and the older
driver knowing his limita-
tons, will not take these
risks.
A recent study by Drs.
Donald P. Kent and Geral-
dine B. Novotny Of the Uni
versity of Connecticut, is re-
vealing. They believe that
older persons are unjuStly &C
cused of being more prone to
auto accidents than younger
drivers. They find that the
accident index for drivers
5000 is well below the ma
tional safety average while
that for those above 10
equals the average. Drivers
up to 80 have a poorer rec
ord than those over rs.
1t is evident that calendar
age Is not so important as
physical, emotional and
mental age. Let's stop picking
on drivers because they are
youngsters" or "oldSters."
Whether or not you are a
good driver depends upon
what kind Of human being
you are.

STOP KILLING YOURSELF
Doctor as Patient
Learns Lesson
BY DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
write to you as a colleague. I
am a middle-aged physician
who, until a few weeks ago,
disagreed with your views
thai bedside manner Is i'm
portant in the practice Of
medicine. Then, for the first
time in my life, I became
seriously i'll. I needn't tell
you how much I have grown
to depend upon the daily
visits of my own doctor.
At long last I understand
how important the art of
medicine still is in this ultra
scientific age. The few min
utes he spends at my bedside
are filled with kindness, pa
tience and understanding.
They give me a lift until his
next visit. I cannot wait until
my recovery so I can get
back into active practice
again. My patients will dis
cover in me a better doc
tor.-Dr. x, Chicago.
HOPE YOU get well soon
so you can bring the new DR..
x to the bedside of your
patients. I have often said
that many doctors would be
better, and more under
standing physicians if they
became seriously i'll and had
time to philosophize. They
would quickly learn the trials
and Illustrations of patients.
I like to quote the re-
nowned DR.. S. Weir Mitchell
who wrote a book in 1889
called Doctor and Patient:
When you are acutely i'll,
the doctor is businesslike and
gravely kind; you want him
in a way, are even anxious to
see him for the relief he may
bring, or the reinsurance.
But when you begin to feel
as if you were a creature re-
born, when you are safe and
keenly enjoying the return to
health, then it is that the
morning visit is so delightful.
You look for his coming and
count on the daily chat.

ers are educated. accom-

DEAR ABBY: Here Is how
an electricians wife lost her
husband: His wedding ring
wore a tiny hole through his
insulated glove. The fatal
contact was made and he
died instantly. When his life
less body was examined, the
only sign of injury was a
small burn where his we'd
ding ring encircled his finger.
So if an electricians wife
wants to become an cleo
trician's widow, she should
put a wedding ring on her
husbands finger and insist
that he wear it to work.

o. DEAR ABBY: Does it
mean anything special when
a fellow closes his eyes while
he is kissing you? I keep
mine open, and when I see
his closed I feel sort of fool
ish because I think maybe
mine should be closed, too.
Is there any rule about this?
OPEN EYES
There is no rule-but /
think that's the time a girl
should keep her eyes open.
DEAR ABBY: I have an
adorable little neighbor. She
visits me frequently and I
love to have her, but here's
my problem: She never rings
or knocks, she just pops in.
I don't latch my doors be-
cause the children are con-
stantly running in and out.
This neighbor has frightened
me half to death several
times by her mannounced
appearances. How can I tell
her to ring the bell or knock
without having her think I'm
snooty?
