PANSY ^   ^
To thousands ol middle-.iged and elderly Americans the news of the death of Mrs Isabella M Alden will come at a surprise 'hat she should have lived so long and will cause many a sigh ot regret al the snapping of another link with the irreclaimable past
Under the pen-name of ' Pansy Mrs Alden wrote more than 120 booka, which were enorniou-ilv pop ular in the I870's and, indeed, down to the beginninu ot the present century She was born m 1841 and before 1850, mor» ban eighty years ago, her lirst story had been pub liahedl The wif» of a minister al: of her books were of a distinctly religious cast Her most popular aeries the 'I'.sther Reid' books foi girls and voung women, sold into the millions It was largely throiigl Mrs. Alden's writinvts that th. Chautauqua educational movement gained its great popularity
I know of few persims who have lived such useful lives and none who spent so many years in one vocation
POPULA'nON
The total numher of inhabitant! of the United States is 122.728.873 according the Census final hgures That was the count on April I, 19JU. snd covers on Continental United Sutea Adding Alaska, the Philip- pinci. Porto Kico, Hawaii and the Virgin Ulands, the total number of pcrsor.s under the United States !¦( ia 137.501,561.
There are but three other govern- mcnta in the world under which so many people live. They are China, Russia and India. The total pop¬ ulation of the British Common¬ wealth of Nations is, of course, Isrger, but none of the Dominion:*— Australia, Canada, the Union of South Africa snd the rest—nor even England and Scotland together, has anywhere near as many people as we have.
And we are still growing. The 1930 figures are seventeen million higher than the 1920 count, the \arg- est ten-year increase in our history.
ALICE
My guess is that the winner in a national referendum on the most popular woman in America would be Mrs, Nicholas Longworth, wife of the Speaker of the House and daaghter   sf   Theodore   Roosevelt
Sne knows more about politics, the inside working of afTairs, than any other woman in America, in all probability She never makei speeches, which may be one of the reasons why everybody thinks well of her Hrr most intimate friend is Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, who is running for Senator from Illinciift and in whose rampaign Mrs Longworth is hetpitiK ihey have been intimates from ttirlhood when Alice's father lived in the Whitt House and Ruth's father was United States Senator from Ohio
BIRTHS
Twenty-four hundred and eighty babies were born in New York City
in Ihe last week of July, In the same week only l,2U3 person:, died in the city It the nawe ratio ul births lo deaths coiiiinue lliruugn Ihc year and prevailed all over the country, our pcipulalion would soon grow so Urge that we cuuid not support il.
As a matter of tact, the national birthrate in the United Stales is rapidly appruaihinti the death rate. 1 lie proport.i'ii is now abuut 20 deaths   lo every  2J  births.
A century and a hall ago an English I'lergN man nanied Malthus wrote a learned essay in which he calculated that the pressure of pop¬ ulation upon the means of subsis¬ tence would make il impossible for all the people on earth in Ihe 20th century—now—lo get food enough to eat. Tlhc Mallhusian theory was taken seriously by many economists until recently, Bui, somehow, it isn't working out. Right now ws have a surplus of most foodslufTs, and the birthrate is still declining,
DROUGHT
If mankind ever learns how to forecast the weather for even a few weeks ahead, it will mark Ihe begin¬ ning of our final victory over Na¬ ture, But so long as we are at the mercy of the weather we can hardly say Ihat we have conquered uur environment.
The drought of 1930, extending throughout the Middle West and the South, is the severest in 30 years. Last year the Northeast and the Northwest sufTered from lack of rain, but without serious economic consequences. This year the wheat •nd corn belts are the victims, with greatly  reduced crops  as a result.
The compensation lies in the larger market for wheal, as a sub- situte for corn for cattle feeding, •nd higher prices for both grains because of the short supply.
