She could not goe Mrs. Kane so well but she! caught a glimpse of angry black | eyes and a clinched hand. ! It was Mrs. Kane who was talk- ing, and there was no mistaking the passion in the woman's voice: “ . ...No, of course he don't believe her, but he don’t think she’s nutty or anything like that.

This should have read “Douglas 501." This, however, does not change any of the other figures represent- ing loss of population and totals, the mistake being typographical.
