VOL XXIX NO. 193 OF THE EVENING NEWS 1IPEWSKEVIEW TOURIST TRAVEL TIDE KQW TURNS T Opening of Schools in State of California Taking Bulk of Cars Off Oregon Roads. North Umpqua Gets Nearly Twice Usual Quota, According to All Estimates. Tourist travel through Itoseburg during the season has been heavier than at any time since the peak year of 1925 anil has apparently nearly equaled that year, according to all o( those who have had occas ion to keep in close touch with the situation. Camp ground records, out of state registrations nnd state highway commission reports all in dicate this to be the case. The direction of travel has now turned and the bulk of the cars are headed south instead of traveling north. The peak of the northbound season was in July this year, the same as in preceding years, white last year's northbound peak was in August, due to the prolonged wet spring. Due to the fact that the major portion of the tourist- traffic in Oregon comes from California, and schools of that state open In Au gust, the heavy traffic is now prac tically nil southbound, bo that chil dren may get back to school. In fact, it is reported, most of the cars coming through at present contain adults only. Another outstanding factor in this year's tourist travel Is that the tourists on the road are of a better class. They are traveling in better cars and are demanding bet ter accommodations and are spend ing more money. There are fewer of the "tourist hobo" type than ever before. This Is taken to indi cate a better agricultural and busi ness condition on the coast ns peo ple have more money to spend and are not so closely tied down as during the depression period. While, of course, It has been im possible to make any accurate check on the number of tourists stopping in the Umpqua valley, it is the opinion of those who have followed the conditions closely that nearly twice as many out of state cars have stopped for one or more days than ever before. Particularly is this true with regard to the North "Umpqua. The reputation of the river is growing, nnd the num ber of tourists is doubling each year, which In a few more seasons will cause a growth to such enor mous -proportions that additional facilities must be provided.

German Geographer Figures 140 Persons to Square Mile in World by Year 2100. BERLIN, Aug. 30. The time when human beings may be push ing each other off this planet for lack of ellxjw room is receding. Only two years ago, it was es timated that by 2100 the total population, growing at its current rate, would advance from its pres ent 1.906.000.000 to 6.000.000.000, about the limit for which, food could be produced. But Prof. Albrecht Penck, Ger many's leading geographer. In a communication to the Prussian Academy of Sciences, now gives an increased capacity. He places the maximum popula tion at 8.000,000,000. an average density of 140 pur square mile, or allowing for desert regions, a prac tical density of 237. which corres ponds to a little more than the present population density of New York state 217.9. Europe Is in a bad way. accord ing to Prof. Penck. With lis 3,7"i0.ono square miles, he says It can support only r.SO.noo.OOO nnd It already has 4SO.OftO.000. South America, with 6.SO0.O0O square miles, could comfortably accommo date the whole present population of the earth. In fact, he looks for tremendous development, there and predicts that Brazil is destined to become one of the most powerful nations. Before the limit Is reached, he foressees deserts and other waste Places turned Into productive areas, because there will be suf ficient man power to do so.

The amazing ring record of EIIkIo Eurdlnias Cuba's Kid Chocolate still was uumarred by defeat to day but the smiling Cuban negro lias foun7 at least one foe who can give him a run for his money. Through 12 rounds of bristling action, a dazzling exhibition of box ing skill punctuated by sporadic outbursts or toe-to-toe slugging. Chocolate and young Al Singer, Jewish idol of the Bronx, battled on close to even terms at the Polo grounds last night with the de cision going to the Cuban. So close was the struggle that some portion of the crowd of 45, 000 who jammed their way into the home of the New York baseball Giants, booed lustily when the de cision was announced. Even the judges and the referee failed to agree, two voting for Chocolate and one for Singer. The Associated Press score sheet gave Chocolate six rounds; Singer four, with two even. Negro Stronger at End There were no knockdowns but there was plenty of action. Agnlnst Singer's superior aggressiveness and harder hitting power, Choco late fought a heady battle. He was content to lay back, keep Singer off with a snaky left until the go ing got tough. Then he tore in fur iously and had the Tlronx idol holding on at several stages of the battle.
