UNITED STATES
HAS POPULATION
OF 107,000,000
WASHINGTON. The United
States has more than 106 millions
of people.
This already has been determined
by the census bureau.
This information has become
known without an actual count of
the people. It happened this way:
The classification of the people into
male and female, white and b’ack,
race, occupation and so on, Is done
by means of machines that punch
cards. Hundreds of employed have
been punching these cards for
months.
Originally there were 110.000.000
of these blank cards. There is one
card for each person. The fact that
all but 4 000.000 of the cards have
been punched shows that there are
106.000,000 persons already account
ed for.
Announcenier-t Soon
Some time ago the bureau an
nounced 92.000.000 persons. Within
a week it will give out official fig
ures on the number of persons.
There is a census sheet for each
person. The people whose sheets
have not gone through the punch
ing machines live in Massachusetts.
West Virginia, Alabama and Texas,
and only fragments of these states
remain to be counted, or rather to
have their sheets punched.
The punching is going on now
at the rate of from 40,000 to 80,-
000 a day. It is said there are less
than 1,000,000 of these sheets yet
to be punched. This would mean
that, although it has been shown
there are 106.000,000 persons, there
will be less than 107,000,000.
Cenrus Facts
Some of the facts the census will
show are:
Fifty-two per cent of the people
live in cities, whereas 1910 showed
more than half lived in rural dis
tricts.
Women are in excess of men; al
ways before the census has shown
an excess of males.
Fifty-one per cent of the people
have specialized occupations.
Twelve persons in every 100 can
not read and W'rite.
Birthrate has materially decreased
since 1910, due *to crowded condi
tions of cities and the high cost of
living.
Gain of 15,000,000 since 1910.
Ten million due to excess* of
births over deaths and five million
to immigration.
If the official figures determine
there are 107,000,000 persons, it
will mean, according to unofficial
opinion among experts, that there
are, in the United States, about
10.9,000,000 people. Experts claim
that no matter how thorough a cen
sus enumeration may be, at least
2 per cent of the people will not
be enumerated. This would leave
2,000,000 uncounted.
Who Are They?
Who are these two millions of
people? Many of them are crooks
who dodge the census-takers. There
are thousands of persons who trav
el and have no home addresses. It
is estimated there »are more than
2.000,000 persons on Trains all of the
time. •

UukXi AM© EOWAGIO
BY FAY STEVENSON
“The man who says he cannot af
ford to have child en is an idiot.
Children are an asset and the best
investment of married life.’’
This is not a second Theodore
Roosevelt talking, but just a good
American father of nineteen children,
who speaks from ’’experience” and
practices what he preaches. He is
Francis Yoder, a coal miner, who
lives at Somerset, Pa., a smoky little
town four hours’ ride from P.tts
burg and five miles from nowhere.
When the nineteenth child was
born to the Yoders a few days ago
the Evening World sent me to inter
view such an illustrious fam ly in
this modern childless a e of curs.
Hence my journey to the Srnoky City
and Somerset.
Just ovefr’the blue, smoky hill of
Somerset in a dark brown, two- tsry
cottage I found the happy home of
he Yoders. A knock at the cottage
door bro ght the patter of feet, jost
ling and pushing, merry laughs, a
scueal, a faint “stop pinching me,” a
wee baby’s voice from an inner room
and then the door opened and I was
greeted by a host of kiddies of all
sizes and ages. At first I was so
amazed that all I could think of was
the old woman who lived in a shoe
end had so many children she didn’t
know what to do, but a second glance
at least he-> thy. rollic .ng .luuies
made me realize that the Ycders DID
know what to do, and the motto
which ought to hang o.e their d :or
is "Welcome to ou? c ty; the more
the merrier!”
Arrivsl
A neat looking, sensible woman
w’l’ e I’i'- i the room with a tiny
babe clutched ti htly In her arms.
It was Mother Yoder, with the nine
teenth a rival Her eyes were
bright, her cheeks even rosy, and at
first I could scarcely belie e she was
the mother of all these ki dies, in
cluding the oldest boy, who is twen
ty-three. and a young lady who looks
more like a siste than her Idest
girl child. I had expected to see a
faded, worn-ou worn n, but instead
I found myself face to face w th a
woman forty years of age. in perfect
health, needing no anity bag to
bring the roses to her cheeks, no the
ate s or tangoes to keep the dimples
nd curves about her mouth.
Someone had been hamm ring in
the room upstairs repa r ng a lerky
roof. Suddenly the noise ceased and
Mr. Yoder, who. f 1 tunately, wa s not
in the mines that day, care down to
meet me.
“I can’t shake hands with you
lady,” he laughed; “my hands are al
wa s black but my hear’ is e’ean and
I couldn’t keep lily white han s and
make er.o-- < breed for my family
It isn’t every man of forty-three
who can boast of nineteen ch Idren,
fourteen of them 11 in . It’s true
the old-fashion’ed men sometimes had
twelve or thirteen children, but they

Balloonists Dangle in Air
For Thirteen Perilous Hours
WASHINGTON.—CII ngl n g for
more than thirteen hours to the rig
ging of a navy racing balloon, Lieu
tenant Raffe Emerson and his aide.
Lieutenant Frank Sloman, contest
ants in the national balloon race
which started from North
I was nineteen. We’ve had a big
family, but we’re p.oud of it, and we
count our children as. our sweetest
tlessings and biggest .asset. How
about it, mamma?”
Mrs. Yoder smiled happily and
said • those twenty-four years of
married life had been busy but
happy ones for her.
“I have never had the doctor but
for a short period when the stork
came,” she said. “ have had to
work hard, and perhaps the first
five years of my life were the hard
est, but after my children begun
to get older things became easier
because they helped me. Now that
many of them are working the re
turns are coming in. Our investment
was good. Fourteen of my children
are living, but five died when in
fants. Two belonged to different
sets of twins and the other three
died soon after birth.”
“And all of your children live at
home?” I asked.
All Live At Home
“All live at home and each one,
with the exception of No. 18, has
his work to do about the house.”
laughed Mrs. Yoder. “Some work
in the house, others have a truck
garden, where many of our vege
tables are raised; the older boys
work as coal miners with their
father and the older girls, in fact
even three in their teens, do house
work for the neighbors. Mv husband
earns on an average ©f SBO a week,
the older boys $45 a week and the
girls bring in their share.
“So you see the man who says
he cannot afford to have children
is an idiot,” declared Father Yoder.
“I am sorry foe the couples who
take this point of view and deny
themselves the pleasure of parent
hood.”
“How about sparing the rod and
spoiling the child?” 1 asked.
“A good switching or a sound
spanking is necessary in the life of
every kid,” replied Mr. Yoder with
a wink of his eye. “Put them to
bed early, feed them plain food,
plenty of oatmeal and stew meat,
dress them warm, make them work
and keep a hand on one side of the
cradle to rock it when they are
good and a slipper on the other
for mood 3 and tantrums.”
The Yoders have lived in the cot
tage at Somerset nearly all their
married life. Mr. Yoder was born
in the cottage next door and now
they are taking the mortgage off
their home. There was a second one
on it a .few years ago, but many
hands make light work and things
are beginning to run very smooth
ly in the Yoder home. Children
are an asset in the Yoder family
and most likely they will be con
sulting automobile catalogues by
the time No. 19 reaches his ma
jority.
In the meantime there are six
teen people to be fed, clothed and
housed and they are all under the
same roof. Just suppose you had
fourteen kiddies’ plates to fill and
fourteen pairs of boots to buy!
ham, Ala., September 25, landed on
the southwest shore of Lake Erie
two days later, placing their balloon
third in the race.
Rear Admiral Kountz, acting sec
retary of the navy, in making this
announcement tonight, said that this
landing ended, undoubtedly the most
thrilling flight ever undertaken by
navy pilots in a free balloon. Both
lieutenants are members of the Unit
ed States naval reserve
“After leaving Birmingham.” said
the admiral’s statement, “at 5:49 p.
m., in six hours and twenty minutes
the balloon crossed the Mississippi
boundary and at 6 o’clock the morn
ing of the twenty-sixth, the balloon
crossed the Kentucky boundary. At
11 o’clock in the forenoon, the bal
loon landed to escape approaching
At this time, the
army balloon in charge of Leo Ste
vens was forced out of the race.
“At 1:30 o’clock another landing
was made at Hartford, Ky., and at
5:15, another landing was made in
Spencer county, Indiana. At this
place the pilot’s basket was cut
away and abandoned, due to loss of
gas during movements around and
through thunder storms and high
storm areas. From this point on
the pilots clung to the rigging above
the concentration ring.
"At midnight of the 27 th,
the balloon passed over the center
of Indianapolis, and at 3:30 a. m.,
crossed the Ohio border.
“Approaching Sandusky Bay at
6:40 large rainstorms, accompanied
by lightning, overtook the balloon,
the wind coming from the southwest
xnd west, and extending northward
nd northeastward of the balloon’s
rifting course. , The tremendous
rea of this storm cut off the ap
>roach to the Canadian coast, also
ercing the balloon to traverse Lake
'rle lengthwise and with insufficient
allast to compensate for rain driv
ng down and weighting the balloon
deutenant Emerson decided to land
This was done by ripping the balloon
•n the air and the landing was at
‘i:so o’clock without injury to the
alloon remaining equipment.
"The landing was made in a hay
eld three miles east of Graytown
after having made 590 statute
'iles from Noi-th Birmingham. Dil
ation of flight was thirty-seven
ours and one minute.”

CAROLINA SHERIFF
SHOT APPLES OFF
BROTHER’S HEAD
BY 3. C. MTIMFR
GREENVILLE. S. C.. Oct. 2.—Fiery
of face, lean of waist and raw
honed, Carlos A. Rector, reformed
moonshiner, who has been elected to
become sheriff of Greenville county
next January, used to shoot, apples
off the top of his brother’s head to
entertain his barefoot friends when
‘hey would call upon him at his
parents’ hut way back in the heart
'of the Blue Ridge mountains. Moun
taineers for miles and miles around
marveled at the expert manner in
which Carlos and his brother. Hen
drix, handled the rifle in making
close-shave shots, with each other as
human targets. Hendrix was elected
sheriff in 190 and was serving third
year of his second term when he was
shot and killed on July 4. 1919. by
Jake Gosnell, deputy collector of in
ternal revenue, as a result of old
political strife. Carlos was then pre
vailed upon to make the race and
he defeated six opponents. Including
Captain Sam D. Willis, who was
wounded in France, and who was ap
pointed by Governor Cooper as sheriff
to fill out the unexpired term of the
late Hendrix Rector.
Both Hendrix and Carlos Rector,
tocrether with their brother, Jeff, who
followed General Pershing into Mex
ico and France and was decorated
for bravery, were born and “raised”
in a little log cabin in what is known
as “Dark Corner.” because for years
and years it was a lair of moon
shiners, and still is. The Rector
hoys, like all others who first saw
the light of day in this dismal sec
tion. did not think it any harm to
make moonshine liquor. It was their
belief—and this opinion still holds
with most mountaineers today—that
they had a God-given right to do as
they pleased with a scanty crib of
corn which they managed to raise
on the hil’sides. So they distilled
“white lightning” to sell and drink.
About twelve years ago Carlos Rector
became intensely interested in a re
ligious “revival” and was converted
into the belief that “makin’ liquor"
was all wrong—it was not the strong
arm of the law that changed him, but
the words of a mountain "sky pilot.”
He even went out himself and be
seeched his fellow-mountaineers to
abandon the still and make an hon
est living. Among those who heeded
the appeal and reformed was his
brother, Hendrix, and from then on
they gave their hearts to law en
forcement. Hendrix Rector was elect
magistrate and Carlos served as con
stable. Then Hendrix moved to
Greenville and within a short time
this “lion of the mountains” became
a lion in politics and was elected
sheriff, but not without stirring up ’
political feuds because he defeated
the scion of one of the oldest and
most aggressive political families in
the state. His spectacular career
ended when three shots caused his
big heart to cease beating twenty
m.nates past 12 o’clock, noon, July
4, 1919, at a local garage. Await
ing a second trial for the alleged
murder is Jack Gosnell, a “reve
nuer,” the jury having failed to
agree upon a verdict at the first
Carlos Rector, who was
then deputy collector of internal rev
enue, yielded to the solicitations of
friends to run for sheriff, and after
a strenuous campaign he was nomi
nated to the highest office in the gift
of the people of the county.
“Not often does it fall to the lot
of an old woman of the mountains
to be the mother of two sheriffs of
a great county like Greenxille in the
grand old state of South Carolina’
was an expression of gratitude that
poured out from the heart of Mrs.
J W. Rector, who is more than nine
ty years old and active for her age.
Carlos A. Rector,'thirty-six years
of age, said that it was his earnest
ambition to some day be elected to
the seat in congress to which his
late brother aspired. When Hendrix
.Rector, on a visit to Washington for
the first time, picked out in the capi
tol what he said he hoped to make
his seat, he was the subject of “fea
ture” in nearly all the Wash
ington papers, and his picture was
prominently displayed.
While having been elected by what
he said he was proud to term the
"common people,” it is generally ad
mitted by the voters for the opposing
faction that Carlos Rector will make
a fearless, conscientious and "hell
bust!ng” sheriff.

Save Sixteen Mules .
Buried Three Weeks
y Sixteen mules entombed three
weeks at the McTurks Coal com
pany colliery, at Girardville, Pa..,
were found alive and brought to
the surface uninjured. Inclosed in
a living grave by a cave-in, the
mules kicked their way out of
the mine stable in which they
were at the time of the accident
The cave-in so damaged the
pumps that operation was impos
sible and the water gradually rose
to the necks of the animals, but
with almost human intelligence
they made their way to higher
levels, at times finding a bite to
eat from interior stables. When
men heard nearby, for the first
time in weeks, the mules whin
neid, and feverish efforts to get
the pumps going soon reduced
the water. The mules are valued
at $7,000.
Baby Crop Last Year
Was Record, Says Board
In Annual Birth Report
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—(By Asso
ciated Press.) —America’s baby crop
in 1919 was a new record, says the
American Child Hygiene association
An annual preliminary report on
vital statistics by that organization,
covering data from 269 cities with
an aggregate population of 31,000.-
000 shows the infant mortality rate
declined to the ’encouraging figure
of 87 deaths per 1,000 babies,” a sav
ing of nearly 12.000 babies over the
1918 rate and 7,000 fewer deaths
than in 1917.
In the cities covered by the re
port 680,000 births were recorded,
while in the entire country it is es
timated there are 2,500,000 newcom
ers annually. All of the cities in
cluded have populations of 10,000 or
more. . ~ ,
Babies seemed to thrive well in
some of the larger cities, where
formerly the death rate was very
high. Among the 24 cities of more
than 250,000 population reported, ten
were below the average for the 269
and the de-’th rate for the group was
85, two points below the general
average.
“TCh years ago,” the report said,
"it was the aim of many a depart
ment of health to see this rate fall
below the 100 mark. In 1919, only
four of the 24 larger cities were
above it.”
One of these was Pittsburg, the
•‘Smokv City,” where the rate was
115 Buffalo with 107. Kansas City.
Mo., with 103 and Jersey City. N. J..
with 102 were the otheus.
Houston, Tex., was the best baby
raising ground among -the cities of
more than 100,000 and less than 250,-
000 with a mark of 61. Berkeley,
Cal., had a baby mortality rate of
44, while Brookline, Mass, with a
population of less than 50.000 led
all the rest with the healthy per
centage of 40.
New York City registered 82. St.
Louis scored 75. Los Angeles and
San Francisco 67 and 65, respective
ly, Minneapolis 61 and Seattle, 54.
El Paso. Texas, had the worst
showing with 245. Burlington, Vt..
was next with 150. El Paso, how
ever, is not in a birth registration
•’rea. according to the report.
