SOUTH PORTLAXDEKS WIXIj AS
SEMBLE FEBRUARY 1.
TIIE MORNING OTCEGONIAN, FRIDAY, .JANUARY 27, 1922
THE OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, D. C, Jan. 26. Women
with the desire and daring to venture
Into matrimony enjoy a vast advan
tage In Oregon, Washington end
Idaho over those of their sex in the
middle west, the south and the effete
east, according to a report issued
today by the census bureau.
The reason is that there is such a
large surplus of men over women in
the population of those states, as
shown by the 1920 census, as to Jus
tify the feminine folks in being Just
e, little independent. t
While it was stated that there is a
larKe excess of men, it should be
understood that there is no particu
lar short crop of women, or girls, as
they may prefer to be known. For
the purpose of the statisticians, the
report, which purported to deal with
the marital status of men and women
in all the states, took in all of the
male and female population above
the age of 15 years.
Why in treating such a grown-up
subject as marriage the census bu
reau included both sexes down as
low as 15 years is Inexplicable, except
on theory that the bureau desired to
make sure that all eligible women
were considered, taking into account
that in these times a girl's age is
apt to become stationary at a very
early period in her life.
Statistics Are Quoted.
There are 308,127 males in Oregon
and 261,847 females; 546.019 males
and 438.357 females in Washington,
and 156,157 males and 123,287 females
In Idaho. Single, and the majority of
them presumably eligible to marry,
are 112,181 males In Oregon. 212.021
In Washington and 69,795 in Idaho.
Kligible women and girls, ranging
from 15 years up to heaven knows
how old. Include 60,142 In Oregon,
100,353 in Washington and 28,124 in
Idaho.
A glance at the figures indicated
that there were approximately 5000
men In Oregon. 11,000 in Washington
and 3000 in Idaho married but for
some reason separated from their
wives when the census enumerator
came around, there being just those
differences in the number of married
men and women in the three states.
Oregon had 175,423 married men and
170,069 married women; Wasnington
98,950 married men and 287,871 mar
ried women, and Idaho 87.969 married
men and 84,554 married women. Fail
ure of the enumerators to state
otherwise left it to be Inferred that
all these married persons are happy.
Oregon Una 0,154 Widows.
The widowed persons, including
only those who reached that state
without resort to law, were as fol
lows: Oregon, 14.474 men and 26.154
women; Washington, 23,915 men and
41.889 women; Idaho, 6409 men and
9391 women. These figures are in
terpreted to mean that a larger per
cent of men than women take an
other chance when deprived of their
first mates.
Divorced persons In the three
states are: Oregon, 5633 men and
4988 women; Washington, 8602 men
and 7816 women; Idaho, 1667 men and
1146 women.
In most of the older states the
women outnumber the men, but in
one state. New Hampshire, there is
almost an even division, there being
169,131 men and 161.208 women.

OMMUNITY CHEST campaigns
J have a distinctly educational value
for the public, in the opinion of J.
Teuscher Jr., superintendent of the
Boys' and Girls' Aid society. He said
the people generally are realizing
more and more the value to the com
munity ot organized chest operations.
"Thousands of people have already
changed their minds regarding child
caring organizations," be said. "Many
looked upon them as a set of beg
gars. Now they are beginning to
realize that these organizations in
stead of being beneficiaries are in
reality contributors.
"Fifteen child-caring organizations
have an investment of about $2,600,000
in buildings, real estate and endow
ments. The public has the use of this
large sum of money absolutely free
cf charge for the community chest is
not allowing any money for deprecia
tion. Depreciation at 5 per cent on
12,500,000 Is (125,000; interest on f2.
500,000 at 6 per cent is $150,000, con
sequently these 15 agencies are in
reality giving to the public each year
the sum of 1275,000.
"Institutions are In reality only
asking for money to carry on cer
tain definite, well-defined work, which
is ultimately for the benefit of the
public at large.
"If the state were suddenly to take
over the work of these various agen
cies It would have to duplicate all the
plants .and equipments of existing
agencies and then support them by
taxation. Realizing this, many peo
ple are willing contributors to the
chest because In doing so they are
actually saving money."
