In Getting at the Manufactur.
ing Data
WILL NOT USE AVERAGE
In Finding Out Number Of Workers EN-,
pIoyed But WIN Take the Num-
Der of One Specific
Week.

Washington, D. c., Oct. l0.--U. s,
Census Director Durand announces two
very material changes in the schedule for
manufactures to be carried by the special
agents employed in collecting the data
for the thirteenth census.
"At the censuses Of 1900 and 1906
stated the director, "the manufactures
schedule called for the average number
Of men, the average number Of women,
and bhe average number Of children UNI
der l6, employed during each mont% in
each establishment. Could this question
have been answered accurately, it would
undoubtedly have furnished information
Of much value and Of greater value than
that which we are now proposing TO se-
cure To answer this interrogatory with
strict accuracy would, however, require
the special agent or the manufacturer,
filing out the schedule, to 20 In detail
through every payroll Of the year, usu-
ally either So or 26 In number, counting
the number OF men, women and children
separately on each.-the segregation Of
those under l6 involving peculiar difficult
ty. particularly in the case Of the earlier
pay.rolls of the year and averaging
the count for each month. To do this,
would, in my Judgment, have required
several times as long as to fill out all
the remainder OF the manufacturers
schedule except only the question on
classified wages.
"As matter Of fact, practically none
OF the returns at the preceding census
we're, / am convinced, based on actual
analyses Of the pay-rolls. They we're
In nearly al cases mere estimates more
or less offhRnd by the manufacturer or
his bookkeepers, and there is every rea-
son to believe that these estimates were
often wide Of the mark
sThe schedule as It has been revised
for the present census calls for the num-
Der OF men, women and children EN-
ployed during one specific week only, and
FOR the total number employed, without
distinction Of age or SEX on the first pay
roll Of each month. The relative extent
10 which women and children are en-
ployed viii be ascertained approximately
from the figures for the selected week
and. although that week viii not, per.
haps, in some Industries be typical %
the year as a whole, the accuracy Of the
figures viii more than compensate for
the apparent sacrifice in the amount Of
information obtained.
we have also deemed IL Wise to cut
out the question with regard to classified
wages to which / have just referred, and
which appeared In the census schedules
Of 1900 and 1908. These schedules called
for the number Of employees during
selected week, classified according to
their earnings, and also separating men,
women, and children under I6 This
interrogatory. II correctly answered
would furnish information Of great val.
Ne. We have become convinced, how
ever, that for many establishments cor
rect answers cannot be obtained BY any

.PITTSBURG CELEBRATED
BASE BALL VICTORY
Big, High-old Time Held Last Night
With Nondescript Parade to
Forbes Field.

Pittsburg. Oct. lo--The yells Of joy
which went up from Pittsburg last night
could be heard as far as Detroit. The
Pirate crew, which had taken the
measure Of the Tigers was given an
ovation such as no other baseball club
had ever been accorded.
IL was a nondescript mob which fol.
lowed twelve bands and hundreds Of au-
tomobiles carrying the players and city
officials Mayor Magee, who had or
dered the celebration, appointed his de-
partment chiefs division marshalls and
the south side, north side and surround
ing hills sent forth their mob Of root
ers who massed behind the bands in a
solid phalanx
Three military organizations lent
color to the procession, and half Of
dozen political clubs with banners form
ed in line The streets were iammed
with people and the noise was worse
than battle.
Babe Adams thrice winner over
the Detroits received the greatest Oval
ton in Forbes Field when he was called
70 the platform to receive his check.
Besides his part Of the winnings he re-
ceived purse Of 81 264 which had been
subscribed by his admirers, Of which the
Pittsburg players donated $500
The crowd called on Adams for n
speech but the young man was unable
to give utterance to his thoughts and
tears trickled down his cheeks.

that Yale win have as strong team
as usual when she gets well started.
Harvard showed poor form in Satur-
days game against Maine, and several
important changes win be made in the
line by the coaches rs result Of that
game
Mt. Pleasant. the former Carlisle
star, did not shine very brilliantly in
the game against Pennsylvania Satur-
day.
Howe seemed to qualify as Yale's
quarterback rather more than Johnson
did in Saturdays game with the Army.
Fordham has the strongest team on

had FOR some time. The team held

Of labor rather than that of the census

EVEN CURES ULCERS
Remarkable Results from Skin Remedy
that Costs Almost Nothing.

No matter how bad sore or ulcer
afflicts you, it is said that HolSara the
pure skin food, will cure it. In fact if
Il doesn't cure, the purchase viii be
refunded.
D. F. Davis, the local agent for Ho-
kara, who has sold hundreds Of pack
ages the last few weeks, say he has
yet to find any form of wound or dis
ease affecting the skin that Hokara does
not heal, and its relief is 50 instan-
taneous that those who try it are sim
ply delighted with it.
Pimples, eczema, blackheads, acne,
BARRIERS itch, and all skin troubles are
quickly cured BY applying this simple
skin food and tissue builder 1t contains
no grease or acids, and is cleaniy to use.
A liberal jar costs only 25 cents and
even this is returned if Hokara fails
to cure,
