U. S. Population Shifts in War, Census Shows
STRIKING changes in the growth and character of the population of the
United States are expected to be shown by the 1920 census, prepara
tions for which are under way. The shifting of population because of the
i wtti lias up&tri; me iciujumuuua ui vcjli
bus experts, who since 1917 have con
sidered it useless to attempt to esti
mate population of any other units
I than states. Before that it was pos
sible to predict with a fair degree of
accuracy the number of persons in any
given locality.
The “center of population," it is
believed, has stopped its westward
movement, which was continuous from
1790 to 1910, when it was located in
raiooiniugioii, mu. xms is uecause
Industrial cities in the central East, such as Cleveland and Detroit, have been
growing at a greatly increased rate during the recent years, as have manu
facturing centers farther east. Fon <erly, the Rocky mountain and Pacific
coast states increased in population with twice the rapidity of eastern and
central states.
During this year, however, certain modifications of the unusual situation
may be made. The opening of reclamation projects in the West, the resump
tion of immigration, and other causes, it is thought, will change the abnormal
distribution. There will also be a tendency to return to normal now that the
war is ended.
Pronounced changes are expected also in the “constitution of the popula
tion”—the ratio of males to females, the proportions of native and foreign
stock and the age distribution.

U. S. SHIPS TO CARRY U. S. EXPORTS
Ships are the controlling factor in
the development of foreign trade. Be
fore the war only 9.7 per cent of our
total exports was carried in American
bottoms. It is our hope, if our pro
gram is completed, to have sufficient
ships to move 50 per cent of our total
commerce in American bottoms, writes
Edward E. Hurley, chairman U. S.
shipping hoard, in Pan-Pacific Maga
zine.
We want to put the best American
initiative behind the operation of the
fleet; we want to get rid of red tape
and the possibility of stagnation when
moving these ships to the ports where
they will carry American trade. But a
very large part of the task that con
fronts the nation can be made easy
and practicable if such organizations
as the National Foreign Trade council
will concentrate in a movement to urge
American manufacturers to study the
export field. We hear a great deal
- these days, about what is going to happen to American mismess wnen ouai
Britain and the other nations, supposed to have certain advantages o\ei us,
get into full swing. We have heard such doleful predictions many times long
before the war.
After three months studying the situation in Europe I have not obseivei
any outstanding advantage which they have over us. either from a production
point of view, or a labor point of view, or from the character of products
manufactured. This is true not merely of manufacturing, but with reference
even to shipbuilding. „ .
We needn’t worry much about flank movements from our foreign com
petitors They will compete fairly. They understand now, better than ever
before, the evil of unfair competition. Germany’s commercial system reached
the point where it became top-heavy.

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAWT AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all we ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to give
_ us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
M e have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a very
extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States,
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
