Recently an enumeratGr called on

ibc required Information. Mr.. Me
MillIn said that as soon as the matter
was reported to him he sent special
agent TO the splace. who succeeded in
getting the woman TO fill out the sched-
ule. The answers may have been meant
as Joke. but IN a case of this KIND
the government IS not gwen to Jok-
ing. The taking of the census is seri-
GUS business. In, answer to the ques-
ton as to sex, the woman wrote " Nor

why she refused to give proper answer.
