119,000,000 People Now In America According to the figures of the Nattonal Bureau of Economic Research announced Sunday, the population of Continental America increased 14,299,000 to a total of 119,80(5,000 in the ten years ending July 1, 1928. These figures were released in advance of a copyrighted statement issued by the bureau and are embodied in a 600-page report, "The ^National Income und its Purchasing Powers," to be publisher! in the next few djiys. The bureau compiled its dutn by deducting from,the last official census figures the number of death registrations and adding the known births and immigration. About 01 per cent of the population ?72,720,000 persons?were supported by the remaining 40,580,000, or 39 per cent, the bureau found. This proportion, the report said, is not affected appreciably by tho number of persons whose incomes are derived from rentals, dividends and interest on investments, for the percentage of such persons is small Figures for 20 years, beginning in J909, showed a constant increase in the country's population from year to year, although during the World War the rate fell off considerably. This was ascribed by the bureau principally to the temporary halt in immigration caused by war conditions. The report also noted an apparent increase in the percentage oFThe population over 15 years of age, which i* considered due to a reduced death rate among children. Also, it stated that a slight decrease in the proportion of persons 15 years of age or older who are gainfully employed "is doubtless du? to the fact that a larg; t?>|> ivtion attend school .now.", *>?>' ide at Florence < " .1 :;!i. 2.'!^- Maker. 41.1 < . ;? i>'tai to it \e-tcrday i 11 v .

This statement is from an article by Dr. William W. Weston, Director of the South Carolina Natural Resources Commission, appearing in the January issue of "The Class Con tainer." of which Norman K. Whit" ir editor, is the official publication of the industiy manufacturing all types of glass jars and bottles for the ^packing and preservation of foodstuffs, dairy products, chemicals an I condiments. In recent months it has devoted much space to discussion of the packing and preservation in glas> of foodstuffs and dairy products particularly. These articles have set forth many of the advantages of the glass containers. In view of the fact that the Glass Container Association of America is engaged in a wide range of scientific studies relating to the packing and preservation of fruits,, vegetables and other products, the activities of the South Carolina Natural Resources Commission have attracted its interest. Packers throughout the country are alive to developments in the Palmetto State and the makers of glass containers particularly are watching the studies being carried on by the Commission's chemists. Dr. Weston's article reviews in outliif&^the progress made in determining the iodine content of South Carolina food products and tells of p!;iim under way for making those products available all over America, especially in what is known as the "goitre belt." "With nutrition and medical qualities established," writes Dr. Weston, "the government of the commonwealth has placed itself squarely behind the movement to make the 1 atn's food products available everywhere. The interest of canners and packers throughout the country has been enli.-t* d and conservative estimates 5>I::? i the number of new conpvaCve canning and packing plan' t hat win he ir. operation next year *- A heady there- h as been .'it; i , in i- ill. ren.-e in the t nsumpt . r. vegetable- 1< <iii> the deqiitn ! hy n u-ev . aT "Jr. . : a<ndir \ r . .t , ; nia'.t d that none i .. n :< ]a- :ai - \M < o d ::: > a h ( lina in 1&!!? as \we - !<! i:t*"" d iii.it in P.'-.u this i.uitih^v wi?l b ' > u ;?!tunle.i."
