PAGE TWO NENC YORK HAY EXCED LONDON WN POPULATION Estimates Place Gothams Size at More Six Million People. GREATH GROWTH IS SHOWN War Industries Added Greatly to the Size of Nation’s First City. Washington, “June. 7. — Indications are that when the New York city census is announced it will show a total population larger than the last lable for London. The race for largest city in the world, however. will be undecided until London's ot- ficial census of 1921 is announce While no official intimation Ss heen given as to the growth of New York during the last 10 years, as will be shown by the enumeration made in January, estimates of the citv proper place the total population at about 6,100,600 und for the. metropoli- tan district of New York, consisting of the city proper and the territory 10 miles from its boundari at about 8,200,000. These estimates are com uted on the census bureau’s method of arithmetical prog ion shown by experience to be nearer in accuracy in the majority of cases than any other formula, Statistics for the city proper will be the first given out; the figures for the metropolitan district will not be available until some: time Jater, Population Six Million London’s population, according to the latest available tics which are estimates for 1917, give the popn- lation for registration London, the London for census purposes, as 4, 026,901 and for Greater London, com- prising the city and metropolitan police districts and covering a radius f miles from Charing Cross, as 6,753. Many factors have entered into the growth of both New York and Lon- don since their last official counts were taken. ‘The war officials here believe, has had its effect on the growti of both cities, New York is believed ‘to have suffered from the stoppage of the stream of immigra- tion, a large portion of which. in previous decades has settled there. War industries are thought to have added to New York's. population. and also to a greater extent to that of London where huge war plants were erected by the British government. London’s losses of her men at the front were considerable and these are expected to affect her total popula- tion. to some extent. \' Show Heavy Growth New York’s Metropolitan district, as shown by returns of 22 'New Jer- sey cities and towns whose popula- tions already have been announced, will not show so heavy a growth as it did in the decade.ending with 1919. These cities and towns, including Newark, Paterson, and Jersey City, show an increase only. four-fifths as large as was shown 10 years ago. * Fair comparison of the population of the world’s two largest cities is difficult, census bureau oflicials de- clare, owing to the areas covered by the various designations. New. York city proper, composed of the boroughs of Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Richmond, covers about 287 square miles, Its Population in 1910 was 4,766,883, The metropolitan district of New Rork, comprising territory. within. 10 miles of the city boundaries includ- ing ‘all incorporated places half of whose area. lies within the limit or half of whose population resides within . the limit, covers. about 964 square miles, The population of this MA adult district was 6,474,568 in Area 655 Acres The city of London within mu- nicipal and parliamentary limits has an area of 655 acres, a little. more than a square mile, and in 1911 had a night population of 19,657 and a day, or working, population of more than 1,000,000. “The Administrative County of, London,, known as. Inner London, is composed of the City and County of London, and is described as the London for’ census purposes. It has an area of about 116 square miles and. hada population in 1911 of 4,521,685. This population showed a decrease of almost a million people in the estimate made in 1917. Greater London, comprising the ad- ministration (ounty of London. and the outer ring area covered by the city and Metropolitan police districts, extending toa radious of 15 miles from Charing Cross. It hasan area of about 693 square. miles and its population. in the official census of 1911 was 7,251,368. Its estimated pop- ulation in.1917 was 6,726,753.

Mr. D. of North Pennsylvania street tells of a near tragedy, or some thing akin to it, which occurred a few days ago on a morning train coming in from Chicago, relates the Indianapolis News. i He had oecupled an upper ‘berth, and when he arose found ‘that his shoes had disappeared, A pair not his own were where his should have been, but they evidently belonged to the occupant of the Jower berth, The porter was called, but his most diligent search failed to locate the missing shoes. The train was rapid- ly speeding toward Indianapolis, and with visions of arriving stocking- footed, Mr. D. was in a most unenvi- able state of mind. About that time a portly little man sauntered down the aisle, stopped and began to assemble his possessions perparatory to detraining. “What's the excitement?” he inquired, becom- ing interested in the search. “Why, this man's lost his shoes,” said the anxious porter. “You don’t suppose you-all might ‘a’ mistook them for you do you?” Then the portly party teok a look at his feet and discovered that he had, : “Well,” said he, considerably cha- grined, “I thought that the pesky things felt pretty tight.” And then there occurred a hasty ex- change of shoes just as the train' pulled into the station. MAKE SKILLFUL AUTO DRIVERS African Natives Conduct Vehicles Along Jungle Tracks After Short Term of Apprenticeship. Tt fs natural that since automobiles have found their way into every part of the world, the drivers would vary in appearance, and in attire or lack of attire, according to the customs of the countries In which the motor car is called to do service. If you were to walk along the road leading from thej west coast of equatorial Africa several hundred miles into the interior, for instance, you might see a motor truck, plowing through the jungle, and in the chauffeur’s seat, driving with pe- culiar and cheerful abandon, would be fa west African native. And from the appearance of his driver's. uniform, It would be evident that the high cost of clothing would bother him not one whit. -These natives become full- fledged chauffeurs within three or four weeks from the time they see thelr first. motor vehicle. The trucks, of. Which there are about 200, maintain regular schedules as feeders to a large steamship line plying *between west; African ports and Europe and Amer- fea. They are loaded with men and supplies on the inland trips, and with cocoa products, palm oll, hides, and rubber bound for the coast, Parasite Spreads Disease. A pecullar disease that Is’ still. con- fined chiefly to certain river valleys of Japan, but suggests possibilities. of breaking loose as a widespread. epi- demic, has been a subject of recent in- vestigation. It is known as “tsut- sugamushi,” and Is transmitted by the “akamushi,” an insect parasite of cer- tain fielt mice. It is a fever striking-| ly similar. to typhus and Rocky mount- ain spotted fevers. -The investigators have learned that its chief occurrence is in the months of June to October, which is the time of development of the insect carriers, and the season when the peasant victims of the dis- ease are brought into contact with fhe mice. The mortality, though very variable, sometimes exceeds 50 per cent. Under existing conditions, bites by the insects cannot be wholly avoided, and cutting out the bitten part does not prevent the spread of the virus, while such ‘remedies as iodine, mercury, arsenic, quinine. and dyes have proven ineffective. The only hope of stamping out the disease seems to rest in the extermination of | the field mice. Repairing U-Boat Damages, If British shipbuilding has not yet done wonderful things in ship produe- tion in the last twelve months, The total tonnage launched was 7,144,549, according to Lloyd’s. Register, and the British share was 1,620,000 tons.

Far-Seeing Woman Reformer. In noting the fact that Susan B. Anthony was born a hundred years ago, it ts interesting also to remem- ber that every considerable reform of which she was an advocate has come to pass, says the New York Sun, She fought for the abolition of slavery, for. total abstinence and for equal suffrage. Slavery disappeared when she was still in her most active years. When she died, in 1906, many of the states had agreed with her views on prohibition and votes for women. HAVE. THEIR OWN JOURNALS Almost Every Industry Is Represented In List of British Periodical Publications, Popular papers by no means constt- tute the bulk of periodical literature. Nearly every business and. profession has its own particular “trade journal.” Probably you. never knew. the bill- posters. had a paper entirely their own, but they have in the Placard and Service Billposter, remarks a writer in London Answers. Then there is ‘Brushmaking, the Hatters’ Guide, the Herring Cireular, the Gamekeeper, the Irish Ironmonger.and the Post- man’s Gazette, every one of which is devoted to the interests of the particu- lar line it names, Some trades which you would not think could support one paper alone have their pick of several. For 1n- ,stance, ‘laundry workers have four to choose from, pawnbrokers two, pro- fessional conjurers at least three, and vets quite a number.. Even the bargee was not until recently left uncatered for, there being the “Bargeman to amuse him every so often, And un- dertakers can wax more or less merry over the Undertakers’ Journal, while rag and bone collectors may watch their interests in the Waste Trades Journal, ‘Caretakers have the Care- taker to enjoy.

Claimed They Will Absolutely Do Away With Noise Made by the Motors. 3 Eight ships now sailing the Pacific ocean are equipped with great silencers, weighing: 8,000 pounds each, the inyention of Hiram Percy Maxim, famous as the inventor of the gun silencer bearing his name.. If success-. ful, this newest “Maxim silencer” may ‘stimulate the tendency toward general substitution of the speedier, more economical, oil-burning vessels driven by the super-powerful engines of the Diesel type, for the present-day steamers, “The motor-driven ship {s the ship of the future,” Mr. Maxim said recent- ly, * * * “However, in the past there has been one great disadvant- age, the terrific noise of the motors. The new silencer we expect will solve that problem.” Mr. Maxim said that, inasmuch as his. patents have not been tssued, he! cannot disclose the construction of his new invention. However, in general principle it is not unlike other Maxim silencers, depending on accomplishing Its work by absorbing the recoil and hence silencing the. terrific exhaust. Mr. Maxim. says It is not dissimilar in| design to the smaller Maxim. silencers on the market for several years for use on motor and power boats. A Last Resort. His Wife—Mercy me, Hank! You shavin’?
