Vif'-J ' " ;ii? ---- \hy yh VMt%&k.--The poputat&n Hh* continental United Statea on January 1, 1823, was approximately 110,100,000, according to a preliminary estimate made by the National Bureau of Economic Research of this city. This showa an estimated gain of 4,500,000 since the date of the last government census. The figures are necessarily preliminary, says the bureau, for the final census figures on birth and deaths are Incomplete after the end of 1U20.

Miss Alice Robertson who, up until the election V *f Mrs. Winifred Mason ^uck was the only woman member of congress, 1s •hewn giving a hearty greeting to the new feminine member of the hooae. y ever, enough data are available to show that atnee January 1, 1821, the rate of increase In population growth has been accelerated noticeably, the present rate approaching that of prewar years. This, more rapid gain In population, according to the bureau, haa been brought about partly by Increase In net migration, but has been decidedly J*^ot;owl by a reduction 1% tba death ,120,000000 In 199% ^ At the present rate of growth, the population at the 1930 census will reach 120,000,00a It 18 lmpoaaible to calculate "with precision the population of the coun* try at any given date, the statement of the bureau saya, the reason being that In many statea, births and deaths are not reported, and even In the registration area a very considerable number of deaths and still more births appear to escape being recorded. There are presumably, also, minor errors In the statistics of Immigration. Because of the difficulties Involved, the census bureau has made ltf estimates of the population for the lntercensal years on the simple aa* sumption that the rate of growth ta the same as In the preceding decade. This census process, which Is termed a straight line extrapolation, has mainly its simplicity to commend It, for, when applied, errora of consider" able else gradually accumulate as changing conditions affect population growth. For example, the official method showed a population for Januury 1, 1820, nearly 2,000,000 greater than> that given by the actual census count on that date. Correcting the Difficulty. The method of procedure devised by j the National Bureau of Economic Research to correct this difficulty Is relatively simply. The number of blrtha and deaths have been estimated for I each half year and the Increase of lively simple. The number of births over deaths has been calculated. This : amount has been corrected by adding > the excess of immigration over emii ^ration for each half year. The popu- ! latlon for June 30, 1910, has been estimated from a smooth curve, and flgtires have then been bulit up for each half year until the census of 1920. The estimate thus arrived at tor i Jnnuary 1, 1920, Is In error by approxii mately half a million, or only about ' one-fourth of the corresponding error resulting from the official method of estimate. The labors of the bureau In this regard have been under the immediate direction of Dr. Wlllford L King, formerly assistant professor of political economy of the University of Wisconsin, who has been engaged on thla. work since 1921. > ; " • r - < y y-. 9 France's Navy Helping in Occupied Region Thla Is the first photograph to reach here showing the French naval forces cu ui.< fu s<<, iu » military in the occupied area of Germany.

Dublin.--Despite all the turmoil and discouragement In Ireland at tbe present time there are on foot t--o great *tnd expensive projects for tbe improvement of the city of Dublin. Elaborate plana for c lormous Changes have been prepared, which %ould make a new modern city out irf the old. The promoters of the prln- :/ <Hp®l plan estimated Its cost at 10,000,- *• pounda sterling, while Its critics it the cost at over tti.OOO.OOQ. and ere is no visible source from which jflther sum could be raised. < One plan ta tr* build a large central Railway station near the ruined cat torn house and turn the custom house Into a new post office. Since the destruction of the post office in faster week, 1916, Dublin has had no central post office except inadequate makeshifts, and even the makeshift was completely destroyed in the fighting which followed the capture of the Four Qourts last July. Another element In the plan la the building of a new parliament bouse on the site of the Royal hospital at Kllmalnham. This historic building waa, until this year, the residence of the commander of the British forces and also a hospital. The commander-inchief and the Invalids have all gone and the place Is now at the disposal of tbe Irish government. The Free State senatr la now housed In the Art museum and tlie Dall. (a the adjoining Lelnster house, taken over temporarily from the Royal Dublin aoclety. A new parliament house wOl sooner or later have to be bant. ' The Kllmainham proposal haa been criticized by those who think that the Irish parliament ahould be boused In the Bank of Ireland, once the scene of Grattan's parliament. But the government does not consider the bank premises suitable and even the sentimental association of the place Is decried by some, who point out that the Free State is not the inheritor of the Grattan tradition but of the tradition of Theobald Wolfe Tone for complete Iiiah Independence.

' Tf V 'V • . " , Springfield.--The house of representatives failed to go to a finish In Its first battle over appropriations, a fight which started In a personal attack on Attorney General Brundage by Representative Arthur Roe (Dem., Fayette). Representative Roe attempted to amend the attorned general's $1,037,- 240 appropriations by striking out an Item of $70,000 for dissolution of defunct corporations. With that as a starter the Fayette county Democrat turned his guns on the entire Brundage pay roll and appeared ro be terribly scandalised by his own state* ments until the figures he read diaclosed some facts he had overlooked. , Houee Votea Tie and Adjouma. The only roll call durlhg the battle was on a motion by Representative Smejkal (Rep, Chicago), chairman of the appropriations committee, to table the Roe amendment. That resulted in a tie of 51 to 51, with exactly onethird of the house absent. The house tlieu adjourned for the week, leaving the attorney general's appropriation in the same position It occupied when the fight stated. Debate li Bitter. Before packed galleries In the iMHrto chamber 80 speakers attacked and defended the O'Neill-Jewel bill limiting hours for women in industry to eight hours a day. Those who were for the bill represented unions and women's organizations. Employers and representatives of working women asked that the bill be killed as a piece of class legislation, unfair to the women themselves. ( Legislators are receiving daily letters and telegrams asking them ta stand against the bill. Many of thes# are coming from girls employed by the telephone companies. The charge was made by Victor Olander, secretary of the Illinois Federation of Labor, that these letters and protests were not genuine, that the employees were being coerced. Thla was denied bf representatives of the telephone com* pany. Appeal by Olander. "There Is a studied attempt," Mr. Olander said, "to get over the Idea that the working women are opposed to this measure. These letters of protest are not the expression of the sentiment of< the signers. The Industrial survey of 1918 showed the advantage of shorter hours on productivity and on infant mortality. The efficiency engineers under Herbert Hoover have demonstrated that morfc than 00 per cent of the waste in industry is due to poor management by employers. "The arguments against this hill are the same as those used against the ten-hour day. Industry was to be ruined. There aire certain employers who cannot see any benefit in changes. They are living in Civil war days." Assembly Cluttered With Bills. The decks of the Illinois general assembly's legislative ship are cluttered with bills, a total of 876 In botb houses, but the committees of tha body* are prepared for action, and have taken into consideration many measures, not including a number of resolutions, which arte held under adr vtsement and for discussion at later dates. The senate has 133 bills on its calendar. The house fias 243 bills. Twenty-seven bills affecting motorists and motoring in Illinois have been Introduced In the legislature, and it Is fully expected that a~ many more are to coma Subject, matter In the measures now before the general assembly embraces license fees, fleeing from accidents, recording of titles to machines, lights, cutouts, second-hand dealers, fines, under both state and city laws, rural mall carriers, driving while intoxicated, stopping at railroad crossings, registration lists, speed, pneumatic tires on trucks, tractors on hard roads, miY-rnrs on trucks and weight of vehicles. y/ It Is noticeabTfr that of the 27 bills Introduced 25 are Ito the house and only two In the serrate.
