New York has more than any other stute?about ti fourth of them, the National Geographic society points out. Pennsylvania and Illinois have nearly a million each. California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Michigan and Ohio each have more than a half million. The states having the fewest foreign-born residents ure South Carolina, with less than 5,000; Mississippi, 6,000; Arkansas, 7,700; and North Carolina, 0,000 All other states have more than 10,000 foreign-horn residents.

Nearly Million Poles. Poles number nearly a million, with the Irish and English running f sikth and seventh; they number , 678,000 and 622.000 respectively. No other country has us many as half a million natives now living in the United States, although Austria and Sweden have nearly that many. More than a third of the Italians live in New York state. Pennsylvania is the next most popular state with the Italians, followed by New Jersey, Massachusetts, California, Illinois, Connecticut and Ohio, each with more than 50,000. New York has over a fourth of the 1,238,000 German immigrants. Illinois is second with 138.000; then Wisconsin, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Ohio and Michigan follow with 50,000 and over.

Industries of War Prove Tough on This Sheriff AUSTIN, TF.XAfv ? War or no war, human nature remains the same, Travis County Sheriff H. W. ("Rip") Collins and his deputies will tell you. Even though the county jail has room for plenty of miscreants?running at about 50 per cent of normal ? the law enforcement officers swear it isn't because the people themselves have taken it upon themselves to improve their behavior. To the contrary, they say, there are two or three times the normal number of warrants waiting to be served. In exception to what you probably would label as the reason?the officers say it isn't war service, but war industry that is making the defendants hard to find. Those who are not in the army are holding down defense jobs somewhere. There's no change in the type, either Prisoners are usually 18 to 24? well within the draft age limits for many ?and the male-female proportion is holding at about peacetime levels. Chronology of Town Is Ruined by Painter INDIANOLA, MISS.?Dates of the big snow, floods and other noteworthy events have been inscribed on the walls of the local drugstore as they occurred for many and many a year. The mural chronology settled hundreds of arguments for Indianola citizenry. Recently an unthinking painter wiped out years of history with a few broad brush stripes before the proprietor could intervene. e . Do You Know How lo Toll * When a Sardine U One? Whut is a sardine? Why is a sardine? When is u sardine not u sardine? Many varieties of fry. including undersized herring and menhaden, have been tinned in Vitable oil and sold to satisfy sardine uppetites. The true sardine, however, is not the dwarf Ash it appears to be, but is the young of the pilchard. The pilchard, a member of the great herring family, is plentiful in the waters of Europe's coast from the English channel to Sardinia, und it is from this Mediterranean island I that the sardine took its name. I The sardine canning industry of France's Brittany peninsula is nearly a century old. The excellent reputation of the Brittany product is due in purt to the freshly pressed olive oil of the region, in which Brittany sardines ure canned. In American waters the pilchard ranges in abundance off the Pacific shore from Canada's Queen Charlotte islands to the Gulf of California. While Oregon and Washington fishermen know it as the pilchard, to Californiums it is known almost exclusively as the California sardine. Large commercial quantities are landed at Monterey, Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego in tiie main season, August through I February. Bridge Completion Aids Through Railroad Service Flow of freight between Mexico and Guatemala has been slowed by the gap in rail transportation. The Mexican line came to a dead end in the river town of Suchiate. The river of the same name was both boundary and barrier. On the Guatemalan side is the town of Ay"utla. Through northbound freight had to be unloaded on ox carts from cars of the International railways of Central America, and then hauled a mile to the river. There it was transferred to small barges for the river crossing. From the river motor trucks hauled it to Suchiate for shipment over the lines of the National railways of Mexico. The ferries have a maximum capacity of about a ton. Total daily tonnage handled was -10 to 50. Another hitch was the difference in rail widths. To accommodate both standard and narrow gauge equipment, the new bridge there now carries three rails. The bridge completes the MexicoGuatemala link of the Pan America railway system which will supplement the Pan American highway now under construction. Casablanca: European Metropolis South, from the Casablanca, kMorocco., harbor n !><nil"vard follows a ' high rocky bluff overlooking the Atlantic Other broad boulevards, parks and modern buildings give to the city the appearance of a European metropolis. From here motor bus routes form a network over the hinterland, and an airfield to the south connects with more distant points. Casablanca has many modern hotels, and in normal times is a busy sports center for horse-racing, golf, tennis, yachting and swimming. There is a municipal casino and theater and a dozen motion picture houses. France had reached an understanding with Sultan Moulay Hassan, who ascended the Moroccan throne in 1873. The ruler was accused of selling out to France, and rebellion was begun with his brother as leader. In 1 f>07 eight French i engim-ers engaged in the harbor de velopment were murdered. French ! forces then occupied Casablanca, and France soon exercised a pro- ' tectorato over 5)3 per cent of the j sultan s domain. I Koad Magnet for Scrap Collection 1 A "road magnet" built three years ago by the Chicago Surface Lines to collect sharp metal objects from streets traveled by its buses is doing its bit in collecting scrap for the war, according to the American Public Works association. Attached to the bottom of a special service truck, the battery-powered magnet collected 800 pounds of metal in July and more than 1,600 pounds in October from 195 miles of streets. Tin cans, nails, hairpins, paper clips, bottle tops and tobacco tins were I Included in its "haul." The device is similar to one built by the Missouri state highway department to clear state highways of tire-destructive metals. Road magnets also are used by public transit systems in Milwaukee and Philadelphia for the same purpose. | Vitamin Starvation in 2700 B. C. S?4^tamin starvation has plagued ) man for centuries. As far back as 2700 B. C. there are records of beri- i bori. More than 400 years before Christ, Aristotle spoke of "night j blindness" and observed shrewdly j that it could he cured by eating ; liver. Scurvy is described in the an- i nals of the Crusades. Pellagra was ! noticed in American Indians as early as 1600 A. D While these 1 acute deficiency diseases are com- 1 paralively rare here, they are rampant in Nazi-conquered Europe. In ! this country the milder, borderline or twilight deficiencies are today's ' major nutritional problem, with re- ' C^nt experiments indicating that no more than one person in a thousand escapes some effects of undernutrition.
