What ills become of the old-fash
icned black sheep who was red liq-
ucr's affinity?
The 1920 census reveals the fact
that the center of population has
moved towards the east. Foi years j
tnere has been steady movements :
in a westerly direction, but that is!
now changed and a reverse tiend is 1
noticed. This population drift is in-
dicative of some economic facts, and
depends on these facts. It shows that i
there has been a movement from th- 1
faun to the city; and this, owing to i
some special attraction which the
city p*»riod'e;*l!y has over the country.
When wages are liigh in the indus-
trial centers, labor leaves the more
uncertain gain of the country and
seeks the steady remuneration of the ■
city. The past six years ha—~ >mh
years cf unexampled industrial pros-
perity; tlie tails have gone out for
labor, and tire answer is a drift of
peop/e to the east. Also many people
have kept ttp the cultivation of farms
while they themselves have move! to
the city. Thi- has been more prac-
ticable iti recent years becam e of au-
tomobile transportation. As distance
is overcome b> rapid transit, more
people wi’l seek the easy ]if.> OTtown,
i while drawing their revenues from
agriculture
Perhaps the most important fac-
tor in this eastward drift was the in-
, dustrinl boom developed h. the war.
The very high wages which the war
brought about struck the citLs first,
and even when the increase d d reach
| the country, wages were no; so high
there; this made young men, espeeial-
| ly, leave the forms and seek the larg-
er money. This is no freak or un-
accounting thing. It rests on Indus-
* tri <1 laws and on traits of human na-
ture. Long ago the Old Dork said:
"Where the carcass is there shall the
eagles be gi’hered together.” The
din-ling flocks in the air are no surer
sign of booty than the crowded trains
All seek the spoil to divide, it

in one diieetion. Pntil the ham n tid
has found an economic level, this
flaw will continue. After that the
movements will be more in the na-
ture of oscillations; these or -illations
becoming narrower as the world
grows older. At last, there will he

Increased Efficiency.
Taking account of both freight and
passenger service, the railroads in 1!MK)
hauled 186.0(H) traffic units (freight
tons carried one mile, plus passengers
carried one mile) for each railway em-
ployee. By 1 f) 17, the last year of pri-
vate operation of the railroads prior t<
the entry of the United States into the
war, that 1.8(5,000 hud been increased
to i!ft0,OO().
The following table shows the In-
crease In efficiency of American rail-
roads since litOO, which enabled the
railroads to keep pace with the growth
of the country: '
Ton miles Increased........ 1!W)%
Passenger miles Inerensed.. 170%
Truckage Increased ........ 56%’
Cars arid engine inerensed.. 7.1%
Workers Increased......... 85%
Output per worker Increased 00%
Average train load Increased 130%
These figures show that the traffic
hauled by the railroads of the country
has increased more than three times
as fast ns the trackage, more than
twice as fust ns the equipment and
more than twice ns fast a's the number
of workers. This lms been made pos-
slblejiy far-sighted Investment of new
capital to increase the efficiency of the concluded the
transportation facilities and thereby
enable the railroads to increase tlie
amount of traffic handled and reduce
the amount of labor required to handle
It.
