HEART AND HOME TALKS
The Domination of Names.

What a spell a name will weave! Many
a piece Of sturdy, well-made American
goods will not sell until a merchant gives
ia a fantastic foreign name. ard then
people scramble for It,
Probably It is because we have so few
standards as yet. We haven't put the
right value on the real things and so we
put fictitious value on the unreal. We
haven't yet realized as a people that
truth and sincerity and genuineness and
honesty. even when they come in plain
garb. are the real measure of value. So
we have not the courage 20 go TO the
Simeon House when we would gain so
much more Importance by going 10 the
Royal Fig Bush. We go simply for the
names sake and the prestige It gives US.
Some there are, 10 be sure. who go TO
the Simeon instead Of the Royal Fig Bush
il they find they get better accommoda-
tions for their money. Some housewives
will buy at the store where they secure
best value. even II the goods are dellv-
cred In a push-cart or a one-horse wagon
without any name whatever. and the
neighbors all wonder where Mrs. Blank
buys her things.
This IS as IL should be These people
have their standards and courage enough
10 live up TO them. The time will come
when all will know the real values, meas
ure life by them, and be the happier
thereby.
But meantime the imperIous sway OF
names goes on. The land is full OF Pal
aces" Of Royal" and Majestic" and
Imperial" this. that. and the other
and we bow to them and let them extract
good dollars from our pockets on the
strength OF a name. BARBARA BOYD.

CENSUS POINTERS.

The census begins to-day and must be
completed in fifteen days
The enumerators viii wear a badge IN
ScTibed United States Census. 1910"
The law requires every adult person 70
furnish the prescribed information, but also
provides that It shall be treated conf

person from answering the questions
Tho enumentoTs have already distributed
70 every family a blank or schedule This
should be filed up By the head Of the

People who do not speak English or who
do not understand the schedule completely

filing It up.
The President has issued a PROCLAMATION,
calling on all citizens to cooperate In the
census and assuring them that it has moth
ing to do with taxation, army. or Jury
service. compulsory school attendance. regl-
lation II immigration. or enforcement of
any law. and that no one can be injured
by answering the inquiries.
II is Of the utmost importance that the

Therefore the head Of every family should

It's strange how high-sounding names
impress us. 1t is like the brass buttons
and gilt braid OF n uniform. A man in
civilians clothes isn't half so impressive
as in soldiers togs. while even a small
boy has no respect for a policeman with
out his uniform. II seems as II ones
mind can't grow up.
It's for this reason that those who deal
with the public pay those who can con-
jure with words big sums to produce i'm
posing names for their wares.
Who, for instance. would lodge at a
hotel with the unpretentious name Of the
Simeon House when he could go to the
Royal Fig Bush? One says quite loudly.
so that all may hear. Yes. the Royal

Z. Dana DUrand. director Of the cen
sus, who was recently assailed by indig-
nsnt women because he classified house
wives as having no occupation. yesterday
issued a statement explaining his action.
Director Durand received several COM
munications from woman's organizations
in which he was asked 10 give wives a
place in the occupation column. One OF
the communications was from a woman's
organization in Central Kentucky. and
the tenor Of the telegram showed plainly
that its authors did not feel kindly to-
ward the census director.
Mr. Durand's statement follows:
Census Chiefs Statement.
Tt IS not intended by the instructions
to imply that housewives have not a high
occupation and one which actually con-
tributes greatly 10 the wealth Of the
country The point is. however. that the
census idea of an occupation is neces-
sarily one which brings in money di-
reCtly-which is a means OF support 10
the family Our statistics of families
will show plainly how many wives there
are, and we shall certainly. in discussing
cur statistics Of occupations. refer 20
these wives as In most cases occupied.
although not gainfully occupied.
1T is particularly important 70 get
accurate returns Of those women who do
work for wages or otherwise directly
/ earn money, and IN order 20 set such re-
turns accurately II is necessary 10 direct
that women who do not earn money. but
who are housewives in the family, should
be reported as having no occupation II
the instructions were 70 report house
wife or 'housework as occupations.
many women would be reported under
this heading who should have been re
ported as having a Eainful occupation.
For example, women who give part OF
their time to their own housework. but
who at the same time earn money BY
teaching music. by dressmaking, or in
similar ways"
work Begins To-day.
Several days ago advance schedules were
sent TO the heads OF families. with the
request that the paper be filed out and
ready for collection to-day. Two hundred
and sixty enumerators. sixty OF whom are
women. and forty-fve negroes. will begin
work to-day. collecting the schedules.
Fifteen days are allotted the enumerators
for the work. To facilitate the work, the
District has been divided into FIVE sec
lions. and about forty-three enumerators
have been assigned 10 each section.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMANS'
POINT OF VIEW

II is a little odd that what is regarded
as two very important branches OF life
have little to offer in the way Of compen-
satlon It Is a well-known fact that min
listers and school teachers are miserably
underpaid for the work they do and the
influence they exert upon humanity. It
| Is much harder to save souls than TO
mend bodies, and one can hardly imagine
state In which the teacher is eliminated.
The demands made upon ministers are
many and difficult to meet without a lib
eral income They are expected tc have
families and homes and must be able TO
meet the members Of their parish on
terms Of equality That means good
clothes and home without a hint OF
poverty. and only minister's wife knows
by what struggles such marvels are OBJ
tanned.
Then, too. minister should be able to
make practical charity a feature of his
| life There is poverty In nearly all par
ishes. and when money is at a low ebb at
home a minister must beg. and beg hard,
to secure the aid that is needed for indi-
vldual cases. l am not even remotely
connected with a minister's family. but
as a cool proposition think ministers
salary should bear a proper relation TO
the expenditure Of time and strength and
thought
The question Of adequate salaries for
school teachers has been discussed for
years without results. Teachers must be
well dressed and we'll fed: they should be
free from worry II the best kind OF work
is 10 be done. II Is impossible 20 more
than exist upon the meager salary so
many Of them receive. and there IS a long
summer vacation 10 face. usually with a
fiat pOcketbook
Il ought not 10 be expected that after a
woman has given the best part OF herself
TO a rOOmful OF children she should spend
the evening in sewing. but that must be
done in very many cases. All teachers
are not blessed with homes and solicitous
mothers and sisters. II is Just as impor-
tant for the teacher 20 ease the strain
on her nervous system by recreation or
rest as for the business man 20 lock his
cares within his desk, and every physi-
clan advocates that course for men and
women in the business world.
| We are surely coming to the day when
work Of all kinds will be properly r5-
warded. The faithful worker will be the
gamer; the shrk will be no better on
than at present The man or woman who
does the work Of two departments will
receive two salaries. and those who do
/ less than their best must be content TO
plod through life in a hand-to-mouth
fashion. The business houses which have
adopted the profit-sharing plan are Sc
curing results which warrant its perma-
inency. Fair-minded persons want to see
some signs Of activity in such poorly
paid professions as the ministry and
pedagogy. How long must we wait?
