Figures Given
Statistics for the 1930 population of
Pennsylvania classified as urban and
rural and by sex, color, age, maritai
condition, illiteracy, etc., have been is-
sued by the Bureau of the Census
in a bulletin (Population-Second Ser-
ies) entitled, “Composition and Char-
acteristics of the Population.” This is
a pamphlet of 106 pages, 9 by 11%
inches, consisting mainly of statisti.
cal tables.
The urban population of Pennsyl-
vania in 1930 was 6,533,511, forming
67.8 per cent of the total population.
Urban population, as defined by the
Census Bureau, is in general that re-~
siding in cities and other incorporated
places having 2,500 inhabitants or
more, the remainder being classified as
rural. For use in connection with the
urban territory has been slightly mod-
ified and extended so as to include
townships and other political subdivi-
sions (not incorporated as municipali-
ties, nor containing any area so in-
corporated) which have a total popu-
lation og 10,000 or more, and a popula-
tion density of 1,000 or more per
square mile. This extension added to
the urban group in Pennsylvania 10
townships having an aggregate popula-
tion of 210,505, which would have beeu
classified as rural under the 1920 rule,
Under the 1920 rule, the percentage
urban in 1930 would have been 65.7
per cent, instead of 67.8 per cent, the
difference representing the effect of
the special rule adding the 10 town-
ships to the urban area.
The rural poulation of Pennsylvania,
as established for 1930, excluding the
10. townships affected by the special
rule, was 3,097,839, comprising 846,
240 persons living on farms in rural
territory, and 2,251,599 not living on
farms, representing a nominal de-
crease of five-tenths of one per cent.
Under the 1920 rule, the rural popu-
lation of the State in 1930 would have
been 3,308,344, which would represent
an increase of 6.3 per cent, as com-
pared with the rural population in
1920 (3,112,202).
Of the entire population of Pennsyl-
vania, 95.4 per cent are white, 82.6 per
cent being native white, and 12.8 per
cent foreign-born white. ‘Of the na-.
tive white population, more thah two-
thirds are of native parentage. Of the
foreign-born white population of Pen-
nsylvania, (which numbered 1,233,051),
€2.0 per cent have been naturalized.
The population of the State as a
whole increased 911,333, or 10.5 per
cent, between 1920 and 1930. The
number of children under 1 year de-'
creased 28,371, or 14.5 per cent, while
the entire group of children under 5
years of age showed a decrease of
109,622, or 10.9 per cent.
The proportion of -the. population 7
to 13 years of age attending school in-
creased from .94.5 per cent in 1920 to
97.3 per cent in 1930, and of those 14
and 15 years of age, the proportion
increased from 79.6 per cent in 1920 to
91.2 per cent in 1930. The percentage
of illiteracy in the population 10 years
of age and over decreased from 4.6
to 3.1.
Of the 3,722,428 gainful workers in
the State, 2,915,678 were males, repre-
senting 60.2 per cent of the male popu-
lation, and 806,755 were females, re-
presenting 16.9 per cent of the female

We have been asked many times
by those who read stuff by Columnists
why everybody can not be a column fil-
ler, and by those, who naturally are
enthused in such writers as O. O.
Mac Intyre, how they might be able
to get signed up by a newspaper syn-
dicate. } ;
In the old days the Wilkes-Barre
Leader owned by Kirkendall and
Smith, Charles Chamberlain, editor;
Diamond Dust, cutter and paster of
Record Times and News articles, had
30 papers to clip in on some colum-
nists stuff, so, if you are good, today
might let you feed from 130 news-
papers! \:
We even helped build up the Times
Leader and the Sunday Independent
by sports columns that caught the eye
of the fans, yet never drew a penny,
because we syndicated all of our writ-
ings ourselves among local newspap-
ers.
But, in 1912 we started the Sabbath
sports program. The Record said that
they would not publish our Sunday
games! They changed their minds
when the Times and Leader took a
jump on their ads and circulation, not
forgetting the news.
‘Which all reminds us of the wee
days when our gang were out nights.
If we saw a red light a stone would
fix it. In our litle group of old tim-
ers was Fred Parry, now a contractor.
Fred would not run, he didn't do it!
We lacked nerve. Ten seconds was
no record for us. Up a block we
would hide, ‘then we would hear some-
thing like the Black Diamond Express
coming up the road—mnot the side-
walk. We would step out and sure
enough, Fred would be putting Charley
Paddock and Ray to shame. Fred
would allways chargze his mind about
it, when left alone. We would catcn
up to him in about four blocks—when
he stopped running—perhaps in the
next town. 3

Anything on this side of

But we never were a columnist like
work. In fact we have had too many
philosophers and religious ones in our
old valley—and you know what com-
petition is!
‘We had philosophers who killed So-
crates and saints that called one down
for cussing, but who always had their
laundry delivered to their homes so
that their wives would have to pa)
for it. ’
No there wasn’t much of a chance
to be a columnist in those days.
To be a good columnist read every-
thing—anything that has print, but if
it is the Bible ask Whitesell about it—
and save time.

umnist should first try to write a let-
ter—just to see how it would take.
In our letters we inspired the Walt

poem and we are responsible for Ring

Time magazine has the following to
say regarding the new magazine Bal-
Iyhoo which has recently been sweep-
ing the country by storm achieving
unprecedefted popularity among the |
younger generation. Mie
BALLYHOO’S MILLION A
WHen the first issue (150,000 cobies)
was sold out, Publisher George T. De-
lacorte Jr., ascribed it to curiosity.
His family and friends told him the
magazine was ‘terrible;” his office
aides predicted early failure, On the
‘point of killing the project Publisher
Delacorte changed his mind, sold out
a second issue of 450,000; a third, ofl
675,000. Last week he sent out an ed-
ition of more than one million copies.
To date none of the burlesqued ad-
vertisements has been paid for (even
those with actual trademarks) but the
publisher is still negotiating with com-
panies who wish to pay to be made
fun of. t
Other Ballyhoo news, from Editor
Norman Hume Antthony:
Although it is no cheaper to sub-
scribe than to buy each issue, and
early announcements definitely urged
readers not to subscribe, some 4,000
subscriptions were received. Among
the subscribers: Julius Roseswald,.

Wood Alcohol 4
Industry Helps -
Native Forests
Distilling alcohol, and high grade al-.
cohol at that is still a major industry,
especially in northern Pennsylvania,
where fifty plants are normally in op-
eration. This distillation industry is
entirely legal, however, and the pro-
duct manufactured is the wood alco-
hol of commerce.
The hardwood distillation industry
is common in the beech, birch, and
maple forests, known as the “North
Woods” of Pennsylvania, New England
and the Lake States. Pennsylvania
leads in the number of plants opera-
ted, which consume in the neighbor-
hood of 250,000 cords of wood annually,
representing the annual wood crop of
\[ 260,000 acres of forest.
Although lumbering and wood-using
industries generally are: un-avoidably
wasteful in the utilization of raw ‘ma-~
terial, modern hardwood distillation as
practiced in Pennsylvania is consid-
ered notable for the small amount. of
loss in manufacture. Even the bark
of trees is used.
The chemicals derived from wood
distillation have great commercial
value in the manufacturing of paints,
varnishes, preservatives, high ex-
plosives, fertilizers, soaps and medi-
cines. The average yield of one cord
of wood is 45 bushels of charcoal,
gar, 200 pounds of acetate of lime,
100 gallons of acetic acid or vine-
55 pounds of rosin, 4 gallons of solv-
ent oils, 2 gallons of creosote oil, 10
gallons of fuel tar, and 10 gallons of
wood alcohol.
