JAPAN'S CENSUS IMPORTANT. Of considerable interest, to the ret of the world. Because of the light it will throw on the alleged necesfity of emigration to avoid overcrow diug in Nippon, Is Japan's decennial census, the taking of which is to be begun on October 1. No reliable figures as to her population have been available for a number of years. Wars have Interfered with previous plans fcr census taking. The population was placed at 3 3,110,823 in 1ST?, and in 1914 the population of Japan proper was estimated at 53.700,000 and of the empire at "1.000,0O0. That there has been a tremendous increase in the number of inhabitants in the last few decades Is certain. Overcrowding, however, appears to lie due largely to the propensity of the. people to concentrate in cities and villages; for the average density of population, based on the 15H4 estimate, was only 342 to the square mile. This was about the same as the density of population in New Jersey in 1910, but was considerably less than the density of Massachusetts, whtch had 4 IS perons to the square mile In that. year. A comparison of Japan with Germany Is not Inappropriate, since both have asserted the need of expansion, since Japan is and Germany was a military nation, and since Japan ha3 more nearly an autocratic government than any other country. Germany's average density of population, according to the 1910 census was 311 to the square mile. Her population was a little less than the figure commonly accepted now for the Japanese empire. The numbr of inhabitants in the German empire was given as 64,903.423 in 19H. The charge has been made that Germany understated her population in crder to deceive her enemies as to her man power. That she should have drawn such vast armies from so small a population has been called increditble. Assuming, however, that the German figures were correct, some idea may be gained of the armies that Japan could throw into the field. The figures to be revealed in connection with the official Japanese census will be worth studying in connection with these questions.

COLLEGE AND GIRLS. A college education for women, howeier dubiously our grandparents may have looked on the need and practicability of such a' venture, is accepted by mcst people today as a matter of course. And if there lingers in the mind of any of us the suspicion that for girls a college education is not all to the good, we may f.nd some assurance to the contrary in the opinions of a woman educator who has made a study of what the college girl of today reads, and who brings from this survey a reassuring message. The college girl wlie fell an easy prey to popular authors and matinee idols, who was presented to us on the stage and in novels very much burlesqued as a bundle of giggles wound round with strings of feminine, college slang, as incoherent as it was unintelligible, this girl is becoming, if she isn't already, ex

tinct. The girl who has taken her place is utie with !

"A-horn the authors of "best sellers" and heroes of the drama will have to reckon. "When Lord Dunsany lectures to her." says the huthor of this analyst of the college girl s raiding, "she Is not carried away by his pcetic presence, lleneath the surface of his Cow of words she finds a mixed metaphor, and Dunsany has lost a friend." Although oue may doubt whether the use of a,

mixed metaphor is a Jutlftable reason for casting aslda j

the friendship of a lord, the truth of the matter Is tlict along with other things in the world the col kge girl lias greatly changed in her attitude toward education. A seriousness of purpose has become evident in her work, which, in the opinion of many men I e n college faculties, was not there before. Not only ' iu the things she reads atid what she writes, but in the study courses she selects; does she give evidence 1 of this seriousness of purpose. Courses in sociology, in political economy, and in business administration appeal strt ngly to her; and to these she brings a close application to the. work In hand, to that in co-educational schools where she competes with boys for scholastic honors, the latter find in her a competitor who is nut to be taken lightly. Of course there is nothing strange in this. If the truth were known we probably should rind that the boy student, tco. has become more serious, and that the college itself has answered the call of the world outside of the college campus and lins adjusted itself to meet this more serious demand. Hut even so it is gratifying lo know that the matinee idol-wrrsliipping college girl will soon bo only a memory.

WOMEN WILL VOTE. . Senator Harding, in a letter which he sent a few days ago to the organizations of worr'i throughout the country, makes a plea for their support of the republican party on the ground that it is the only partty that has a definite program for social service and other matters in which women, perhaps more than men, are interested. , The housing prohlem has assumed national importance and the party that deserves to lead the nation must have definite ideas that something must. h done, by the federal- government to meet cmonditions that are (long so much to hamper normal living of practically one-fifth cf the population. The democratic party Is asking the support of women on the agu of nations issue, but wntron pre more interested in helping to solve domestic problems than 1n giving their support to a chimerical enterprise rf which little can be known that Is convincing. The newly enfranchised women of America are not unmindful of thp desire of the world for peace, and they are opposed to an alliance that would keep their cwn country constantly in the shadow of war. PUNISHING PROFITEERSFor a long time now there has tieen much talk about profiteering in the necessities of life, and there have been demands that the profiteers be severely punishd. When officials try to meet these demands they fnd 'themselves seriously handicapped. Many persons are quick to make charges of profiteering but they are not willing to back tip their charges by becoming witnesses for the government. The Lever Act. under which prosecutions against profiteers are brought, is In itself a somewhat indifferent statement of the powers given to officials to reg ulate profits. Seme federal judges dismiss cases that pppear to the public to be plain Instances of profiteering. The public refused to buy suear at thp maximum price fixed by the holders of sugar and the price fell to a much lower level. Only the demands of the canping season sustained the market at present prices. The same treatment in other cases of exorbitant prices might have a similar effect. The remedy for profiteering 1 In the public's hands any time it chooses to e It.

Big prad Little Exchanges AS a telephone system grows, the cost r per telephone for operation and maintenance increases. When a system has few subscribers, conversations are few and operating costs are low. Subscribers arc grouped around the central ofTice and lines are shorter and less expensive to build, line troubles are fewer and maintenance easier. , As subscribers increase, each telephone user can talk to an ever widening circle of friends and business associates. Operating costs per telephone grow as more frequent talks are held. Subscribers' lines begin to run farther and ever farther from the exchange until a big percentage of them are miles in length, expensive to build and increasingly expensive to maintain. The simple central office equipment must give place to more intricate and costly apparatus. Expensive underground cable must be laid, and aerial cable replace open wires. All along the line expense grows as the scope of the service broadens.
