It is true that New York, the nation's metropolis, shows a substantial increase, but this is due in the main to the influx of immigrants from abroad. But Chicago shows an increase of only a few thousands. Cincinnati has gained but a few hun- dreds while such fine and substantial cities as Cleveland, Pitts- burgh, Newark and San Francisco have actually shown a loss over the figures of the 1930 census. The principal reasons given for this change are the automo- bile and,., the better transportation facilities from country to city. It is no longer necessary to live in the heat or grime of a great city to get the 'benefits and pleasures of city life. One can get the same effect while living in the suburban or even the rural areas. Furthermore, some of our cities have grown so great that it is now being deemed advisable, for various rea- sons, to scatter our industries over wider areas. If IF II IF One may well wonder just what the political effect of all this may be. Now and in the past the Democratic strongholds, outside the South, have been in the congested cities. One well recalls the Tammany, the Kelly-Nash, the Hague and the Pren- dergast machines, which have loomed large, and are still loom- ing in Democratic politics. Will this now from the city back into the country, where the Republicans are stronger, have any effect on the national vote? It is the big city with its regimentation and tenements which makes the building of a great machine possible. Only the future can give the answer to this question. In the meantime there is one city in the country which stands out, like a sore thumb as an exception to the trend. The growth of Washington, D. C, during the past ten years, has been some- thing like thirty per cent. This in spite of the fact that it has sprawled out into Maryland and Virginia where thousands of federal workers live but are uncounted in Washington's popu- lation. : . IT IT IT 17 The reason for this growth is not hard to find. Washington has little private industry. Its increase is due solely to the growth of the bureaucracy which is a part of the New Deal. As a stand- out in census growth Washington is it. The chamber of com- merce in the Capital City may boast about it, but the cham- ber will be guilty of ingratitude if it does not give credit where credit is due: to the Brain Trust and the social planners in the New Deal administration. Of course the rest of the country pays the bill. WE LEARN ABOUT OUR ALIENS For the first time, the United States is going to get to- gether some really complete information about its aliens. The registration which will begin Aug. 27 and close Dec. 26 is a tremendous undertaking. Perhaps 3,600,000 residents, non- cltizons, will be required to list with the government basic data about, themselyes, including their fingerprints. Time was when a proceeding of this kind would have been regarded as smacking too much of European restriction to fit into the American picture. Scarcely today. Left to itself, the United States would never have adopted such a plan. But the impact of European tension on the world has brought about adoption of this registry plan almost without opposition. 1! IF 1T IF Several things ought to be kept clearly in mind as the day approaches when all aliens must appear at one of 7300 registra- tion centers to leave a record of themselves and their activities. First, this is no witch-hunt. The definite assurance of Director Earl G. Harrison has been given that all loyal aliens Will be protected from unfair attacks or discrimination. The fact that a person must register is nothing against him. Second, there is no charge or fee in connection with the registration. Already unscrupulous persons have appeared, ready for a suitable fee to \help\ aliens through the registration. No help is required except that which will be freely given through postoffices. The registration must not be allowed to open up a profitable source of graft by preying on ignorance. Director Harrison is not expecting any widespread disclo- sures of criminal activities or Fifth Column work. He is con- vinced that the vast majority of aliens are peaceful and law- abiding. IF IT IF If Among the questions asked (with penalty for willful falsi- fication! is one covering all membership or activities in clubs, organizations, and societies. Another covers connection with political activities of foreign governments. Persecution and injustice could easily follow abuse of such information, and even of the mere fact of registration itself. On the old Anglo-Saxon principle that all are innocent until proved guilty, all should guard against jumping to conclusions. The government has instituted the registration. The government is quite capable of taking any necessary action upon it in an orderly and legal manner. we don't chink they should.\ she said. \But there are many things they con or —f.y the mr.ils, supp y r,hip;i, ; i.jjiitucc.i. i...y L. .. nandb n?alher reports. \Iney could work in aviation .'actoi ..-.

Mliis Jams explained that ar- rangements were being made with aviation fields throughout tlv> country to give the members flying instruction at a moderate flat rate. The organization is supported by membership fte and a small profit on optional equipment, she said. 25 YEARS AGO [horn File* of The Plattsburgh Daily Pre*- NURSE VICTIM OF SNAKE BITE AT CULT SERVICES GIRL FLIERS PROVING Al MECHANICS By Ruth Cowan WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 {&)— Men may well ask — and Uncle Sam among them — \what are women going to be up to next?\ For right now they are develop- ing an interest in greasy, oily mo- tors. Manicure or no manicure, they are finding it fun to -tinker -with the wheels that go round. This is coming to light in the applications women are making for the newly organized Women Flyers of America, which the founder- president, Miss Chelle Janis of New York, described today as a non- profit women's reserve aviation corps. Here to further plans for recruit- ing a natlou-wide corps of women with a hankering to fly and a de- sire to \stand ready\ if needed in national defense, Miss Janis said she was surprised at the many ap- I plications from women interested in mechanics. They don't-want-merely to learn to fly, but to know all about air- plane motors and how to fix them. \It may be that aviation will show that women are motor-mind- ed,\ said Miss Janis, a crisp, alert, dark-eyed young woman. \Men in structors tell me that if women are mechanical-minded they make good mechanics.\ This should interest Uncle Sam, fof, said Miss Janis, one objective is to train women in aviation so that if there is need they can take over non-combatant jobs and re- lease men for fighting. \Women could fly bombers, but CINCINNATI.
