WOMEN MAY DO
CENSUS WORK
Nothing in the Law to Bar
Them, Says Director
Durand

Census Director Durand's general in
structions to the supervisors Of the
census in the thirteenth decennial gem
eral enumeration. April next, have been
forwarded to them.
The instructions point out that there
is nothing in the census act making
women or persons under p years OF
age ineligible for appointment as
enumerators. 1t is stated that con
siderable number of women were crn-
ployed In both the eleventh and twelfth
censuses. II is suggested that IL is
undesirable to employ enumerators who
are too immature, either in experience
or appearance. The supervisors are
cautioned to exercise their judgment
in each individual case.
1t is suggested, as they are pratcu-
larly likely to be good enumerators,
that the supervisors employ crop re-
porters of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, officers and lead
ing workers in farmers organizations
live stock associations, cooperative
creameries, etc, progressive farmers
and their sons and daughters, and es-
pecially young men and women who
have attended agricultural colleges or
agricultural experiment stations, ply
sicians, school teachers, and sustitute
teachers, college and high-school stu
dents persons who have passed Fed
eral, State or municipal civil service
examinations for clerical positions or
mail carriers, substitute letter carriers,
local, State and municipal officers, and
particularly town and village clerks
and recorders.
Applications should be addressed to
the individual supervisors and not to
the Census Bureau. 1t is understood
that the filing of applications will be
permitted to continue until about jan
uary 10. The population and agricul-
tural schedules win not be forwarded
the Supervisors until a few weeks be-
fore the enumerators begin. II is
estimated that more than $1,000 enum-
orators will be employed.

This Week

the unique distinction Of having run
eight years at one theatre, will be pre-
sented at the AvenueTheatre this week

stock players are capable Of the best
comedy work. No more pronounced
success could be wished than their pro-
duction Of "Mrs. Temples Telegram"
and there is even more opportunity
for their ability to be demonstrated in
"Charleys Aunt" AS TO the play itself
there are no end Of comical complica-
tlons. and many laughs are crowded
into the evenings entertainment. At
the close Of the last act everything
is properly explained and everybody is
