OUR BIRTH RATE IS NORMAL
Census Bureau Statistics Show That
Births Exceed Deaths by About
One-Third.
The census bureau, on the strength
of registered returns, gives figures to
show that the birth rate In the United
States exceeds the death rate by one
third, which Is a gratifying fact. We
are not one of the nations that need
be anxious on this vital point as far
as present conditions are concerned.
One of the most serious troubles In
France Is the warning In Its censuses
that in some years more of Its Inhab
itants die than are born. / Some of
Its neighbors grow much faster In
population. This disparity was some
what noticed In the past, yet without
fully realizing the terrible menace In
volved. The desolated towns and
farms of France are a monument to
the old census admonitions and the
awful sacrifice of young French man
hood Is far more dreadful than the
devastation. Often have the public
men of France Sounded an alarm on
the defective birth rate. It Is much
discussed now by thoughtful French
legislators and writers. A census al
ways demands Intelligent study.
The United States grows by Immi
gration as well as births, and our
school system tends to Americanize
the whole body of citizens. Our
schools are a great melting pot for
Americans of the future and to In
crease their proportionate number.
The welfare of children Is a great
national Issue. The birth rate and
death rate need continuous attention.
ALL WANT TO LIVE IN PARIS
So Many Foreigners Are There That
the Frenchman Is Being
Crowded.
The New York Evening Post's Paris
correspondent says that In an article
In Excelsior a French writer contends
that while Paris before the war was
the meeting place of all nationalities.
It has now become their permanent
abode, so that the Parisians are crowd
ed out Into the suburbs or unable to
find an apartment In the city.
The writer says that If you take a
census of the average apartment you
will find that It contains "Belgians
who left when the Germans came,
Russians driven out by bolshevism,
French families from the devastated
regions who seem to like It where they
are. American students with their
omnipotent dollars. Englishmen trying
to do business and representatives of
the Balkan states, Poland, Turkey and
other distressed and unsettled regions
who are living on the Lord only knows
what. Paris Is proud of her cosmo
politanism, but Is finding It Inconveni
ent when the peoples of the world
show so little inclination to move."
Cardinal's Hat Symbol of Office.
The peculiarity of the cardinal's hat
Is that it is not to tie worn. On one
occasion only Is it to be seen on the
head of the cardinal, and that Is when
the pope himself places It there as a
symbol of Its owner's elevation to the
Sacred college. When the cardinal dies
It is placed in his coffin. The hat Is
of a deeper red than that of the robe
worn by the cardinal. It has long
heavy silken cords, each with 15 tas
sels at the end. hanging on either side.
The crimson robes which, like the hat.
denote the cardinal's office, are made
of cloth which for several generations
past has been supplied by a firm of
cloth merchants at Burtscheid, near
AJx-la-Chapolle. The process by which
the dye Is distilled Is a Jealously
guarded secret.
Trade With Australia Grows.
Trading between this country and
Australia Is showing a healthy growth,
according to figures supplied to the de
partment of commerce by A. W. Fer
rln, trade commissioner, who Is at Mel
bourne. They cover Imports and ex
ports for the first quarter of the cur
rent year, and show the Imports dur
ing that period to have been about
$27,775,000, against exports to this
country of approximately $10,350,000.
February exports nearly equaled in
value the totals for January and
March, and in that month the outgoing
shipments exceeded the Imports. In
the same month, however, the value of
the imports was less than half of the
goods brought in during March.
Making It Homelike.
On Dolly's birthday she was pre
sented with a baby bulldog, and her
delight was delicious to behold.
It was very young, and she Insist
ed upon taking it to bed with her, but
the next morning she was looking
very tired.
"Haven't you slept well, darling?"
asked her mother.
"No, mummy," said Dolly. "Nel

all night to make him fink I was his

Gasoline for 1-3 Less
will save you from 25 to 40 per cent of your gasoline consumption, increase speed and power,
increase efficiency of motor, entirely REMOVE THE CARBON, and keep the motor and spark
plugs clean. THESE RESULTS ARE GUARANTEED.
What the American Steam Carburetor Is —The
American Steam Carburetor does not supplant the
regular carburetor of a car. but is an auxiliary car
buretor fastened to the exhaust pipe of tho motor.
It takes a very small amount of water from the
cooling system, and by means of the heat of the
exhaust, transforms it into LIVE STEAM, which
is introduced into the intake manifold above the
regular carburetor.
The heat of the steam breaks up the gas par
ticles and thereby creates a more perfect combus
tion of the gasoline vapor.
There is no unusued gasoline vapor.
The greatest benefit, however, is the fact that the
LIVE STEAM is decomposed by the intense heat
within the motor into its two component gases,
oxygen and hydrogen. The hydrogen burns and
thereby intensifies the effect of the explosion, giv
ing more power and speed, and the oxygen sup
ports this combustion, insuring a complete com
bustion of the gases, and likewise, combines with
the carbon which is constantly formed in the ex
plosion chamber, and by the burning of oil that
seeps through past the piston rings, entirety re
moving the carbon, which then passes out through
the exhaust in the form of a gas.
Saves One-third or More of Your Gasoline- In
addition to insuring a COMPLETE combustion of
the gasoline vapor, this wonderful device enables
you to burn the hydrogen of the water. The effect
01 this is to reduce gasoline consumption by from
25 to 40 per cent, or an average of one-third. This
alone will save the small cost of the device in a lew
weeks. Some users report a saving as great as BO
per cent. This statement is founded in fact —
we guarantee a saving of at least -."» per cent.
Less Oil —Without the American Steam Car
buretor a certain amount of raw or unvaporized
gasoline gets into the cylinders, seeps down the
cylinder walls, thus thinning the oil used for lubri
cation. With the American Steam Carburetor
there is no unused gas, as every particle is burned.
Added to the saving of lubricating oil, the danger
of scored cylinders and burned-out bearings is
minimized.
We guarantee to every user of the American Steam Carburetor, the following:
1. It will save from •J.") to 41) per cent in gasoline. 2. That it will remove ami eliminate
carbon ami keep the spark plugs clean 3, That it will increase the efficiency of the motor
and give greater power ami speed. 4. That it is a perfected device ami will give no me
chanical trouble.
We will install the American Steam Carburetor on your pleasure car, truck or tractor, and
if at the end of ten days it has failed to live up to above claims, your money will be im
mediately refunded.
" "Our Hudson Super-Six averaged 9 miles per
gallon, but since installing your American Steam
Carburetor, we are getting 16 miles per gallon, by
actual tests." —L. L. Arnold. Swift & Co., Chicago.
"Installed American Steam Carburetor on 14 of

More Power and Speed— power and speed
Of the motor is increased a great de^l with a small
er consumption Of gasoline. A clean, carbon-free
motor always has more pep than one that is
clogged with carbon deposits, and the complete ex
plosion of the gases gives greatly increased speed
and power. With the American Steam Carburetor
installed, you can take hills with ease which before
made the motor labor or even caused shifting of
gears. The Increased speed gained can be easily
demonstrated by setting the hand throttle to about
IB miles per hour with the American Steam Car
buretor closed. When the control is opened, it
picks up immediately to 22 or 215 miles per hour —
with no greater gasoline consumption,
Can Be Used on Any Car —The American Steam
Carburetor can be successfully applied to any make
or model of gasoline-driven pleasure car, truck,
tractor, marine engine or airplane, with perfect re
sults. It makes no difference to the American
Steam Carburetor whether the fuel is gasoline,
kerosene, benzine, benzol or dlstllate. They are
now in successful operation on practically every
make of car, truck and tractor.
Not an Experiment —This device has been de
veloped after years of experimentation and is now
perfected. You take no chance in buying the
American Steam Carburetor, as many thousands
of users have demonstrated the truth of our claims
for it.
The Only Device of Its Kind —The American

make this device, nor one embodying all its ad
vantages. Spurious imitations can not give you

and then pays big dividends in saving gasoline, oil,
