FIRST TO LOSE Jobs
Census Bureau Starts on
Local and Nearby Residents.
HAVE MORE THAN QUOTA
District, Entitled to Eleven, Re-
ceived H3 Appointments.
NEEDED TO COMPLETE FORCE
Reduction Begins With the Drop
ping Of 40 Clerks, and More
Will 90 Soon.
NEEDED TO COMPLETE FORCE

Many employees of the census bureau
drawn from the District of Columbia,
Virginia and Maryland will be the first
to have their official heads Topped off in
the reductions which will be made from
now on in the bureaus working force.
Yesterday 10 clerks were let go, and
of these ninety were residents Of the
District, ten of Virginia and five of Mary
land. Director Durand has said that by
March the census force in Washington
will have been reduced by 600 to 500.
This means that many more of the APP
pointees from the District and the nearby
states will go.
The reason given at the census office
for letting the local clerks and those
from Virginia and Maryland go first is
that the District and the two states in
appointments to the census force than
they were entitled to under the law,
which said the clerks should be appor-
toned among the states according to
population. Out of the 1900 employes
which the census bureau was empower
ed to take on for the thirteenth census
the District was entitled, under the law,
TO only eleven. AS a matter Of fact, the
District received 44S appointments. VIr-
ginia was entitled to seventy-two ap-
land was entitled to forty-nine and re-
ceiyed 100.
Needed Clerks Quickly.
The District and Virginia and Mary
land were given these appointments
because the census Office needed more
clerks, and needed them quickly. The
census Office first exhausted the lists
p, ho6 hxyf ha ri1
ice commission in all the states. Still
many more employees were needed.
Then it turned to the District of CO.
lumbia and the nearby states to fill
out the quota.
Under the law it Is provided that
when the exigencies of the service
temporary employment, not exceeding
sixty days duration. from the list OF
eligibles those who, by reason of resi-
dence or other conditions, are imme
diately available; and may also appoint
for not exceeding sixty days duration
persons having had previous expert
ence in records, in operating mechan-
ical appliances in census work, whose
efficiency records in operating these
appliances are satisfactory to him, and
service examinations" The director,
therefore, by these sections Of the law,
was empowered to complete his stan.
The first clerks to go are from this
class Of temporary appointments. Az
the work is being finished up and the
number Of clerks required grows less
the force Is to be decreased.
1t was pointed out yesterday that
New York. under the apportiOnment
provision Of the census law. was en-
titled to 2S2 appointments, and that In
reality New York received only e31 ap-
pointments. The clerks from New
York and other states which have not
their full quota of appointments are
very likely to remain as long as they
do their work efficiently and there Is
work to be done.

Janus did not attempt to fly high,
but kept at IN elevation Of about fifty
feet. The machine was under only half
power and was making about fifty miles
an hour. 1t was so dark and the air
Yves 80 thick with snow that 1t was
scarcely possible to follow the flight at
the farthesr, but as the aviator turned
and came up the field 1t was seen that
he was travelling easily In spite Of the
almost intolerable conditions.
He made a big circuit around the ham
gar and. skirting the north end Of the
field, returned to his starting point,
where a gentle landing was made.
When the machine was run back into
the shed II was SO dark that the lamps
had to be lighted. The young aviator
blew on his fingers. and laughingly said
1t was the best he could do under the
circumstances. Mr.. Smith said he was
sorry the crowd had come out for such
short exhibition. but probably only
- few Of the spectators realized that
they had seen the most remarkable ex-
hihition OF flying that had ever been
given around Washington. and. with
a few exceptions. the most remarkable
that has ever been attempted anywhere.

AMERICAN DEGENERACy
PICTURED BY HOBSON
Points Warning in Consump.
ton of rs Gallons of
Liquor Per Capita.

Several generations of a decreasing
moral standard, or. to speak to the point,
Of degeneracy, means the end Of America
and its ideals and institutions.
History repeats itself. And as Rome
and Babylon fell, so will end America.
1.-The time to save her is now! The duty
of the patriots and the deep-thinking men
of this country is to stem the downward
moral flood which seems to be gripping
the nation
This was the sentiment which found
expression in the utterances Of Repre-
sentative Richmond Z. Hobson Of Ala
bama last night in his address OH prohi-
bition before the delegates to the Ma
tional Interchurch Temperance Federation

Intemperance Displacing Abstinence.
In his remarks leading up to the warn
ing that America was in peril from the
decline Of it's moral standards, Mr.. Hob
son referred to the liquor traffic as the
chief contributing factor. Fifty years ago
there was an average consumption OF
four gallons of intoxicants per capita; in
the space of half a century he said, this
amount had risen to twenty-five gallons
per Cdpitd per year. ne interpreted the
statistics as revealing an alarming con-
dition of affairs.
There is no organic or inherent right
for tho national government, the state
or the city to license the liquor traffic"
said Mr.. Hobson.
Il make the assertion that such licens-
ing is unconstitutional. Rather than be-
ing regarded in the light Of lawful bust
ness enterprises, saloons in this country
and everywhere else should be utterly

The ALBANIAN said that though po-

tinuous threat Of the concentration Of

liberties Of the state and its people, the
equality of opportunity and similar
ideals that have given America the
place it now holds in civilizat ION.

Public Tired Of Politics.

yet to be chosen and the certainty that
neither side will make important gains,
