In 1910 the average number of Persons to a family was 4.5 and to & dwelling 5.2. The average in both cases was still higher in 1880—five persons to a family and 8.6 persons | to a dwelling—and has declined steadily since.

One person lving alone is counted as a family while the occupants of a hotel or institution, regardless of their number, are considered one family.

The number of persons to a dwelling was greatest on north, Atlantic seaboard and small- est in ‘western states.

Spectators among a crowd of 3.000 people who had gathered from sur rounding towns and villages to wit ness the parade, told, of seeing the sheriff step up to the leader of the advancing white clad marchers and attempt to snatch the mask from his face.
