NORTH, WITH 12.2 PER GENT OF ALL NEGROES, HAS ALL THE RAGE RIOTS

(Brooklyn Eagle.) Because of the recent race riots In Washington, of the still bloodier ones in Chicago, of some sinister speechmxing at a negro mass meeting in New York City, and of the fact that there appears to have been a concerted movement to spread Bolshevist propaganda among negroes in many parts of the United States, it is of some interest to glance at the numerical distribution of the black race in the United States. If the negro question is to assume an acute form in Northern communities, the relative numbers of whites and blacks will inevitably have a bearing upon what happens. It is a curious fact that thus far race troubles have taken place not in those cities and communities where the negro is most numerous, but where he is in a marked minority. Nothing has thus far been reported from the South, for Washington must be classed technically as a Northern city, although it is on the border line. The only figures available are these of the 1910 census, but while popula tions have grown since then, the relative proportions between whites and blacks remain about the same. There were 9,827,763 negroes in the United States in 1910, constituting 10.7 of the entire population. Of this number 8,759,427 negroes are in the Southern States, leaving 1,0688,336 negroes distributed throughout the remainder of the country. Thus the Southern States have 87.8 per cent, of all the negroes and the remainder of the country only 12.2 per cent. City Dweller In North. The negro in the North is chiefly a city dweller, which is not the case in the South, but the proportion that he bears to the population of cities is very small. In 1910, New York City had more negroes than any other city In the country, the total being 97,721. But that was only about 2 per cent, of the population of New York. At the same time Washington had some 95,000 negroes, constituting more than 28 per cent, of the total population. The percentage in this city is now estimated to be about 26. Washington stands next to New York City in negro population., being practically equal to it, and has the REAL ESTATE FOR SALE 42 FARM BARGAINS 270 ACRES A real stock and grain farm. Priced right.

largest percentage of negroes of an city outside of the South. Chicago's negroes numbered 46,22(1 in 1910, or about 2 per cent, of the population, a proportion similar ta that of New York City. Philadelphia's negroes constitute about 4 per cent, of the population. In Pittsburg the negro population is something under 4 per cent. In San Francisco it rises to 4 per cent., and in St. Louis to 6 per cent. Baltimore has about 15 per cent, of negroes in her population and Boston about 2J per cent. City Percentages High. These city percentages in the North are higher than the negro populations in States at large. Whereas New York City has 2 per cent, of negroes, the State has but l1 per cent. Chicago has 2 per cent., but Illinois 1.9 per cent. Boston has 2y, but Massachusetts only about 1 per cent. Philadelphia has 4y4 per cent., but tha State of Pennsylvania only 2. St. Louis has 6 per cent, but Missouri 41. San Francisco has 4 per cent., but California less than 1 per cent. There are five times as many white Tnio ir, P1V York City as there are negroes in all the Eastern. Northern

western States put together. Chi cago has twice as many white peopla and Philadelphia's white population more than equals all the negroes outside of the Southern States. Mary land and Delaware have the largest percentage of negroes of any Northem States, showing 17.9 and 15.4 per cent, respectively. There are two States, both South ern, which have more negroes than, whites. South Carolina's percentage of negroes is 55.2 and that of Mississippi 56.2. Other States with percentages of over 40 per cent, are Ala bama, Florida, Georgia and LouislJ ana. ; But the North, with only 12 per cent of all the Negroes in the United, States, is having race troubles, while! the South, with all the rest of thai negroes, is thus far entirely quieL Ralph Blakelock, Painter, Dies At Mountain Camp NEW YORK. Aug. 11. Ralph A. Blakelock, whose power as a painter was recognized only after he had been committed to the Middletown Asylum for the Insane, died Saturday at a camp in the Adirondacks, according to word received here today. His friends recently had obtained his release from the asylum and had sent him to the camp in the hope that the quiet of the woods and mountains would restore his health. Born in New York in 1847 and almost wholly self-educated in his art. Mr. Blakelock never realized to the full the fame his work had brought him, and received only a pittance of the fortune his talents earned. For many years he hawked his paintings about New York obtaining for them never more than a few dollars, ad undergoing the severest hardships . In 1899 his mind gave way under the starin and he was taken to the asylum suffering principally from a delusion that he was the possessor of great wealth. Camden, 0. Mr. and Mrs. James Catron.

A proposal that the foreign delegates to the International Sunday school convention to be held In Tokyo in the autumn of 1920 be lodged in Japanese houses has been made by Japanese. It is suggested that 1.000 Japanese families open their homes to the visitors, and that the delegates be given an opportunity to experience something of real Japan. They would sleep on mattresses laid on the tataml or straw matting floor, and they would move in stockinged feet instead of shoes or boots. Instead of opening doors and windows, thf y would get used to shoji, or paper covered sliding panels. Instead ! of reclining in chairs and divans, they

would sit on the spotless tataml noor and get accustomed to the simplicity of Japanese internal decoration. In the morning each Japanese host or hostess would supply the two or thre foreign guests with bread, millc and eggs, giving a Japanese breakfast only when the foreigner requested it. Luncheon and dinner could be taken by the delegates in the hotels. A writer says: "Lt is not only the practical solution of the difficulty, but V 4. ...Ml T . A . 1 . : -

the barrier that has been for so many years a stumbling block to perfect understanding and friendship with foreigners."
