CENSUS ENUMERATORS ARE
NOT MAKING APPLICATION.

Washington. Dec 2S.-Applicants
arc no. scramblng to obtain jobs as
census ,enUmerators and Census -Di-
rector Durand is considerably per
mrbed over the shortage OF men Will
ing to earn government money. The
difficulty is In the West and South
and especially in the cities.
The job of census enumerator pays
so much per name or per day, de-
pending upon the locality in which
the work is done. and averages about
SEQ per enumerator for the entire time
required
In cities of over 5000 inhabitants
where population is congested and
counting Is easy, the enumerator is
required to finish his work in two
weeks. but In cities under that size
and in country districts one month is
required.
Director Durand explains the lack
of applicants for census jobs only on
the theory that there is so much pros
perity in the country that the govern
ment Jobs are not wanted.
The time for applications for these
jobs ends on January 25th and Mr,
Duranl invites public spirited and pa
triotic people TO join in the census
work,
