rl I I li farm-to-city trend during theV twenties. It believed, however, that city population made little or no growth from 1930 to 1935 due to the movement of jobless urban dwellers to the country. The experts figure that, since 1935 the trend toward the cities has been resumed, so that the urban population represents 58 per cent, of the compared with 56.2 per cent in 1930. The population, housing and farm ceusus will be completed in approximately one month. -Censuses of business and manufactur ing and of mines and.

quarries started January 2 and will require about six months to complete. The estimated cost of the whole 1940 census is about $53,000,000. In 1930 it cost 5.1 cetits per household to take the nose count, 43.8 cents per farm, and 37 cents per business establishment. Rangeland Drama Packs Many Thrills Once more the fabulous figure of Jesse James is brought to life on the screen. "Days of Jesse James" which opens at the Majestic theater today, presents Roy Rogers as the jiemesis of the outlaw gang which plays upon Jesse's reputation to cover its own misdeeds.

Roy, as special investigator for the banking interests, journeys to the middle-west to make a secret study of the bank robberies which are laid on the shoulders of the James Brothers. He deduces that there is more to the situation than meets the eye. The James boys, he knows, are lawless and dangerous, but their exploits lack the flavor of petty meanness characteristic of the robberies under his investigation. To prove his contention he becomes a member of the James gang himself, rides with them, and ostensibly participates in their holdups. He uncovers some startling facts which convict the real rob bers and provide an hour's thrill-packed entertainment.

Victory' came, they declared, through superior strategy with a measure of luck.

The turning point in the bitter battle was at the frontier when Finnish ski troops succeeded in destroying a highway bridge which kept the Russians from bringing up reinforcements. Fighting against the 44th was said to have started December 23 when the Finns learned the Russians were ready to attack and in a surprise assault killed 200 Russian horses and took some prisoners. The major battle developed two weeks later. Town Demolished The fierce fighting on this sector almost demolished Suomussalmi, a town of 2500. All that is left are gaunt chimneys, burned homes and shell torn flame buildings.

Traveling through the battle area one could see abandoned Russian equipment stretched out along the road. There were 260 trucks all with new tires some driven off the road into a large square clearing in the forest. There were tanks, some of which weighed 10 tons and carried crews of four. Two medical trucks with red crosses painted on them stood with doors open on the highway. In one was a dead Russian.

There is only a handful of girls in German colleges, but the number is ever increasing as the need for trained technicians increases. Dr. Kunkel expects to remain in the United States for two or three years, depending on the duration of the war. To explain the difficulty of getting back to Germany he told of his wife who embarked on a Dutch boat for Europe and was detained five weeks off the English coast before being allowed to proceed to Rotterdam.

Male citizens of Germany would not be allowed to return at all, he added. Dr. Kunkel scoffed at the recent proposals for a United States of Europe and stated that in his opin ion such a thing could never be. He is the author of several well known books dealing with psycholo gical subjects, among them being "Let's Be Normal'1 and "Conquer Yourself." He expects to spend his time in the United States lecturing and teaching. 121,000 Workers to Cross-Index United States in Big Census (Continued from page 1) the average citizen's dislike of snooping, are banking on the ironclad secrecy of individual returns to obviate any pronounced public resistance.

Not even J. Edgar Hoover's G-men or Uncle Sam's income tax sleuths have access to the files of the Censur Bureau. Al Capone's report is as inviolate as Franklin D. Roosevelt's. Moreover, should a census-taker tip off the Browns to the amount of the Smiths' income, he would be flirting with a prison term.
