Hi Interesting Statistics Concern ing New York Cityl New York, May 26.-Once every thirteen minutes there is a wedding in this city. Every fourteenth min ute, day and night, a funeral is held here. And ten times each and every hour a child is born. This is the beginning of the most astonishing set of statis tics ever to be compiled round this city where the things that happen match in number the sands of all the shores. Dr. F. M. Gordon, church co-opera tion secretary of Brooklyn bureau of charities, was director of the Greater Cities survey for the Inter Church World Movement a few years ago, when he became interested in the figures brought to h? desk. From a study of New York statis tics, essential to his work, he develop ed his interest to a hobby. He spends a part of his time changing his^ rec ords as events change and ac.ding new figures to his lists. Today he pictures this American metropolis as a monster sprawling upon the eastern coast, demanding sustenance from the entire world, ex pressing itself in grotesquerie of por portions. These are the figures he gave on the city's food, drink, trans portation : "A ship clears the harbor every forty-two minutes. A train enters the city every forty-two seconds. Freight cars leaving here wouid fill eight tracks reaching from New York to San Francisco. "Two hundred and sixty-two train loads of food are required to feed Manhattan for a single week. "We use 500,000,000 gallons of water daily. This amount should sup ply a quart of water to every human being on the face of the earth. "Once every twenty four hours, 1,1062,000 persons cross East river. "Twice as many people ride every day on the three systems of transit, the elevated, surface lines and sub way as the number riding on all the steam railroads of the United States. "Fares paid on these three roads last year numbered 2,500,000,000. "During the same year more than a third of the population of the Unit ed Stases of 37,144,000 passengers on the railroad trains entered Grand Gentral station. "More than 5,000,000 visitors dine annually in hotels and restaurants about the Forty-Second street dis trict. 'Concerning New York's population and acreage, he had this to say: "There are 26,383 more people in the city than there are in the following states: Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexi co, Montana, Wyoming, North Dako ta, South Dakota, Nebraska and Ne vada. "In 1921, 778,749 persons arrived in this country. Of that number 415, 722 remained in New York. If the streets were placed end to end they would reach to San Francisco and half way back again. Parks, play grounds and parkways cover 8,703 acres. "There are enough Italians in New York to make a city the size of Los Angeles. One the size of Milwaukee could be populated by Manhattan Austro-Hungarians. The Irish ;oeople might collect themselves in two cit ies, size of Baltimore and Albany. "There ts a real estate transfer every twenty-two minutes; a new building erected every fifty minutes, a fire every thirty minutes." vDaily instruction in t he public schools, he said, costs the city $225, 000 while 17,000,000 books are tak en from the library every year. The city spends $9,000 daily to keep its people well. And those who never have considered Brooklyn much of a town may be interested in lis tening to this: "Brooklyn is the third largest mu nicipality in the United States and the sixth largest in the world. Since 1910 the poplation has grown at the rate of 3,200 a month. There are more people there than in Wyoming, Vermont, Arizona, New Mexico, Del aware, Idaho and Nevada combined. "Last year in the public schools Brooklyn educated as many pupils as those that were taught in Baltimore, Toledo, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and San Francisco combined."

WALLACE W. WISE. Trenton, S. C. Like New Governor. That the people of South Carolina and numerous persons not residing in the state are pleased with Gov. Wil son G. Harvey is indicated by the hundreds and hundreds of letters he has received from all sections of the state as well as out of the state in which the writers expressed their pleasure at the elevation of Mr. Har vey. The new governor is a man of close friendship and he is answering all the congratulatory letters, a big task. Governor Harvey is one of the most likeable men to be met in a day's travel and he makes friends easily. He is fast becoming "acclimated" to the high responsibilities of the chief executive's office and persons not aware of the change would think the governor was serving his second term. He returned to his office yesterday morning from Spartanburg, where he attended the Pythian convention. The governor is deeply appreciative of the courtesies shown him in Spar tanburg. "I was never treated more hospitably in my life," the governor said yesterday. He was very much touched by his visit to the school for the deaf and blind at Cedar Springs. -The State.
