1ENUMERAToRs' TEST EASY.

Applications Must be Filed With Sup
ervisors Before Jan. Is.
Washington, Dec. 30.-By Jan. 25 all
aplicatdons for the positions Of enum-
orators in the thirteenth decennial
United States census must be filed with
the Supervisors Of census for the super
visors' districts in which the applicants
reside. Between that date and Feb. S
the supervisors will send out cards to
applicants informing them where they
are to report for the 'test'' to be held
in every one of the $50 supervisors
districts on Feb. only.
Census Director Durand emphatically
states that persons desiring to hold
such positions should not stand in
fear Of the "test" to be made. Any
person Of average public school educa-
tion who can write plainly and reason
ably fast will go thru the "test' with
Acolors flying" In fact, the "test" is
intended simply to help the supervis-
ors pick suitable persons and to enable
the director Of the census to exercise
dntelligently his power of approval of
those whom the supervisors designate
for appointment.
1t will involve the filling in of either
a sample population schedule, by those
who will make the count in the cities,
or Of both a sample population and ag-
ricultural schedule, by candidates who
win enumerate the country.
TO prepare the way and to insure
every applicant being given a fair
chance, the supervisors will send in
advance to each and every candidate
a set Of printed instructions for filling
{ IN thasa saxnnle schedules.
We consider that very important
point" said Acting Census Director
Willougnby today, mot only in treating
these candidates fairly and giving them
b chance to answer the questions prop
erly, but also as a means of education
E0f the candidates who are afterwards
to be appointed.
They will study more thoroughly
the instructions for filling in these
schedules IL they realize their chances
OF appointment depend upon that study
than if they were appointed first and
had to do the studying afterwards.
Y You will see, therefore, that this test
q not an appalling thing. 1t is not for
the purpose Of keeping people out of
the places. 1t Is applied simply to en-
able the director to eliminate those who

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, Dec. 3O.-The coro-
ners jury which investigated the
death of Miss Cecile Dodds. of Red
Oak. the young woman who was found
i'm a dying condition near the Wabash
tracks at Malvern, rendered verdict
of suicide.
The conductor of the train testified
that he saw the girl enter the toilet
room and that some time later, when
he tried to enter the room, it was still
locked. When she did not reappear aft
er two stations had been passed the
conductor says he forced an entrance
to the toilet room and found that Miss
Dodds had raised the window and had
leaped from the car while 1t was In
motion. While it appears like a case of
suicide, the lack of motive makes its
mysterious and puzzling to an ex-
treme.

PROD sTIRs FRANCE

united States Statistics Regarding
White Slave Traffic Causes Appeal
to Government to Intervene to Over

Paris, Dec. 3O.-The Matin today de-
clares that the findings of the United
States immigration commission which
placed France first among the nations
as the exporter Of so-called white slave
recruits constitute a national disgrace,
and appeals to the government to COM
mence Immediately pourparlers with
Washington for the suppression of the
traffic. The paper insists that France
in reality is the most decent country
on the globe and one where home life
and virtue are most beautifully ex-
emplifed; yet abroad, and especially
in America, scandalous French liter
ature Is circulated and the extent of
the monstrous white slave trade has
given her a reputation Of being the
center of depravity. Paris, the Matin
says, is pictured as modern babylon,
and adds: 'sThe government must
