Over 30 per cent of Pennsylvania’s increase was in Philadelphia Pittsburg. About of Missouri's increase was in St Louis and Kansas City 25 per cent And so it goes through the entire list with some remarkable exceptions. There is sunshine in the fact that there have been enor mous increases in Texas, Oklahoma and the Pacific coast states, in which there mparatively few cities—sunshine almost strong enough to break through the gloom of figures showing are ¢ decadence or smal! progress in such agricultural states as Lowa, Kansas, Nebraska The trend is clearly toward the Vermont and Maine cities, and inereasingly so, and the cure of it is going to be the mightiest proposition that the next generation or so will have to tackle. aa Sue = = sa "WWNOGENTS ABROAD UP TO OATE =} The “innocents” Being American Conauis, id the Following the Stories They Write to Uncie Sam's State Department.
