If headlines were to be taken literally we don't believe even the most muscular candidate could carry a state, with the possible exception of Rhode Island. They say the very slightest sound in a talking movie studio is recorded and that the average girl, tearing the waxed paper off .av caramel, sounds like the Second Battle of Verdun. ' K.: 5 - . . t live issues . President Hoover is convinced that the worst of the great economic strain, or depression, is over. But he does not wait for prosperity to be fully restored to find ways and means of preventing another of those periodic set-backs in business. ! His salient recommendations arc for a commission of all business and allied .interests to seek ways of achieving greater stability in the future, for steps to provide readier financing r of home builders and Jor a study of the bearing of interest rates upon speculation and stable products. These proposals are sound and practical, but it is to be hoped that they will accomplish more than resulted from the unemployment conference in 1922, which did not even arrange for the facts on working conditions now so urgently required. . Had the government and congress immediately carried out the proposals of the conference of 1022 the collapse of 1929 might have been averted. But if reco.vcit'ns speedily this year it is a safe bet that the hole in the barn roof will be left unrepaired until the next rain. Hard times are. a dead issue when prosperity prevails, and congress and public executives must have live, issues. . YOU GUESS WHAT IT'LL BE From 191Q (o 1920 the population of the United States increased approxinuitely 15 per cent. If population should , continue to increase 15 per cent in each decade, in 1975 we ' should bo a nation of some 228,000,000 people. But, ac cording to a study made by the Scripps Foundation, Miami university, our population in that year will be only 175, ; 000,000. That our rate of growth is becoming slower was demon- strated by the fact that the increase dropped front 21 per cent in the decade 1900-1910 to 15 per cent in the following i decade. That it will probably continue to decrease seems evident if we consider but two factors the diminishing ; birth-vate and thcilimits placed on immigration. In 1852 a renwrkable prediction of future population was made by Francis Bonyngc. His estimate for the year 1900 was only out by 2.2 per cent, and for 1910 by 5.3 per cent. ' But for later, decades his figures begin to grow fantastic. He was in error by M per cent for 1920, and for the year 2000 he predicted a census of 703,000,0(10 a number which todav seems ridiculous. But it must be remembered that Uonynge could not possibly foresee a change in his factors which only recently has come about. The wonder is that his estimate remained valid as long as it did. The Scripps Foundation's estimate is based, of course, on known factors; but they are factors which are fairly re liable. Bonyngc could not foresee the Civil war, or the open ing to settlement of a vast district which, when he made his forecast, appeared on the map as the Great American Desert. . Nor can we of today foresee wars, pestilence, and the changes which invention May bring. Prediction is an interesting game, but an uncertain one. a bUfUne visitor In Kamela on Sunday evcnLnK- After a weekend spent In Port land visiting friends. Mrs. H.
