"That house took SI7,000 worth of I cigars from me last year," said a cigar man who has been dealing with the big men in Wall street for forty years. "It is astonishing how many highgrade cigars some of the Wall street houses take, brands which the general public hardly ever hear of. "The Olympian mokers are either uead or retired from the street, however, John dates, who frequently gave me an order for two thousand prime cigars at $4 apiece to distribute among his friends was one of iny best clients. "Charles Gates formerly duplicated the order. "J. P. Morgan smoked specials at $2 each, a cigar so strong and full that one had to be a real man to tackle it. I remember showing one of these to Dan Reid, who smokes the best He Immediately wanted 1,000 and although J. P. M. was not a client of mine I got tne tinplate man a similar cigar from the special factory in Habana. "William Leeds smoked $2 cigars ^ at the rate of five to ten daily. "I remember a woman coming to my office ad prdering 1,000 cigars at $1 apiece with the proviso that no ad vertisement of any kind should appear on the box or cigar. I assured her this would be all right and the order was addressed to Theodore Roosevelt, at the White House. The !ady was a relative of the same name. Roosevelt usually smoked a 15-cent cigar."

Ernest L. Tustin, president of the Northern Baptist convention, and a well-known lawyer of Philadelphia, declared today in his opening address at the four1 tenth annual convention of North em Baptists, in session in this city. He laid emphasis upon the "great extravagances in living," the "deplorable lowering of morals in our social life," the "moral degeneration and let-down in the habits of ourj young people," the "morals in our! local politics perhaps lower than ever before," and the "non-churchEoing and non-religious people, whose knowledge of the sacraments is chiefly confined to those of marriage and of death," as evidence of such crisis. There is, he declared, "A clear distinct call throughout the land for the unification of all forces of Christianity to consider the preat questions confronting the po litical, business and religious world." "Countless thousands of our people are running beyond their means, and living without .the economic care and saving of our forefathers," Mr. Tustin said. "There has come into the minds of the many a desire for equality of condition. In business lines, the whole assumption seems to be?get money; get it honestly if possible; but get money. In dur local politics the morale is lower perhaps today than ever before. In nearly evry city of our country the 1 word ol the doss is supreme.' As an evidence of the lowering of pur socral morals, Mr. Tustin cites the '"terrible indictment" of young women, contained in the advice recently given by another denomination, which charged them not to swear, to give up drinking, quit gambling, refrain from immodest dress and stop joy-riding. He said that there was an "equal moral dogeneration and let-down in the habits of our young men." The cure, he said, can come only "by a united effort of all Protestantism." The marked decrease in church membership; he said, while fraternal and worldly organizations are increasing in membership, is due to the fact that "the great lack in the followers of Christianity of tjhe present day is that we do not possess the fervor, the heart-throbs, which characterized the Christianity of a century ago. We allow worldly affairs to crowd out our devotion and loyalty to our religious life." Better Sunday schools and Bible schools would counteract the moral let-down among young people today, he declared. He urged the Northern Baptists to sustain and develop the 22 colleges and 43 schools of the denomination, and to earnestly strive for the religious education or all our people,, from the cradle to the grave. He also urged the practice of tithing upon the denomination. "Let us try humbly, prayerfully, and sincerely with the opening of this convention to inaugurate a tremendous forward movement for another Pentecost," he said in closing. i NO THOUGHT OF IT Snider?Lend me $10.

Washington, June 23.?The raci composition of the population of tl United States in 1920, as announci tonight by the census bureau show< . he country to contain 94,822,4. white persons, 10,463,013 negrof 242,959 Indians, 111,025 Japanes 61,680 Chinese and 9,485 others. Tl Japanese race exceeds by far tl rate of growth in the last ten yea of all other classes. Unofficial estimates of the i: c-rease in the number of Japanese the United States, particularly on tl Pacific coast were borne out in tl official tabulation which revealed rate of expansion of 53.9 per ceri during the decade of 1910-20. Cali fornia absorbed 30,596 of the tot urowth of 38,868 Japanese in tb eriod. January 1, 1920, there wei 71,952 Japanese in California. Tl remainder of the increase was di tributed largely in the states < Washington, where 17,388 make the home. Oregon 4,151 and Utah, Col( rado and New York, with betwee two and three thousand each. The white population showed on! a 1(5 per cent, expansion for the di cade and the negro 6.5 per cen Both the Indian and Ch;nese grou] dwindled 8.6 per cent, and 13.8 p< :^nt.. respectively. The growth the white population was consider :b)y less than the rate for the pr vious decade which was 22.3 p< cent. This decline, the statemei said, Was due principally to tl marked reduction in immigratk during the war. An estimate base m tne excess 01 tnrtns over aeatj and on the excess of immigratic jvcr emigration showed a diffe ence by only a small fraction of - or cent, from the total white en merated. The greatest numerical increase :it? white population was shown the east, north and central divisio embracing the states of Ohio, I diana, Illinois, Michigan and Wi consin, where the increase was J 011,663. In the South Atlantic ai east and west and south central po tions the whites proved a norm increase of 3,586,107. The rate of increase in the neg population, which was not percepi jly affected by immigration or ei igration, was the lowest on recor according to the statement. Evidence of the emigration of ti negro to the North and West w found in the figures showing near three-fourths of the increase in tl legro population, or 472,418 of t 635,250 gain, in these sections, growth of only 162,832 or about on iurth, was reported for the. Sout iespite that 85 per cent, of the tot negro race is still below the Maso Dixon line. The percentage increa of the negroes in the West was 55. in the North 43.3 per cent, and in't South 1.96 per cent. Michigan with fi0.082 nptrrnps. 1 all states in percentage of increa with 251 per cent. Illinois and Oh with increases of 67.1 per cei showed further evidence of the nor ward movement of negroes. Pen sylvania's negro population grow was 46.7 per cent. Decrease in the Indian race in t ten years' period was probably d in part, it was said, to the en meration as Indians, in 1910 and whites in 1920, of persons havi: only slight traces of Indian blood.
