Seventy Thousand.

There are seventy thousand enumer-
ators in the United States and they
were started to work simultaneously.
Like a great army they spread them
selevs over every county in the nation,
doing nothing but secure information.
given out by the census bureau, and
then nothing of a private nature will
be given out The population and
wealth of the various cities, counties
and states will be published after the
figures are assembled and compiled,
and much commercial data will also
be given the public. There are many
special enumerators who are gather
ing data of an industrial nature. They
are working directly under the cen
sus bureau and not under the district
supervisor.
Enumerators Are Retlcent.
The census enumerators, whether
male or female, are reticent per-
ages. They don't care to talk, for the
reason that it wouldn't be profitable.
Uncle Sam has promised to impose a
fine of five thousand dollars on any
enumerator found guilty of divulging
information, and also agrees to gener- |
ously add a prison sentence it the |
offense warrants. Some of the emu |
Of
prefer the last word, but they will |
have to forego the luxury until after
they are through working for the gov
eminent. 1t is probable that some of
them will find the task too hard
this keeping silent will tender
their designations and relapse into Cos
slippers.
The Age Proposition.
About the hardest job before the
enumerators is ascertaining the age
of the ladies' The debutante, II she
is very charming and thinks she has
Johnny" already hooked may give
her age correctly. or may be tempted
to ad year or so just to make 1T
But the older sister, she OF the
look and tired expression,
always looks the enumerator up and
down to see that he is not the same
one who came around ten years ago ,
and then unblushingly marks of as q
many milestones as she thinks the
subject will possibly justify. For those J
females who have reached the age
where they are respectfully referred
to as spinsters of mercilessly called
'old maids" the proposition is differ
emit, and they do not hesitate to cut :
heir years In half. With look that :.
suggests spurned lovers by the dozen
in years past the coy maiden gives
her age as ten years less than 1t
was when the census was taken a de-
,ade ago. OF course the old bache-
ora. fearful of a bachelor tar, judi
,iously limit their ages to point that
ust will put them over the poll tar
INIT.
Young Wives.
The enumerators always embarrass
he young wives, who are Of course
convinced that they never will marry
gain" by asking them If they are
living with their first husband, or
whether they have had several addi-
ional protectors. They also ask them Z
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1910-04-22

how long they have been married, a
question at which they naturally take
onense, as they fully believe that ev-
cry resident of the city should possess
that much valuable information.
Another proposition which leads to
embarrassment is the giving of ages
by those at home of those away from
home. This frequently leads to troub-
lie, for as rule the absent person OBJ
jects to being given in as an antedelu-
Wan when they are in fact but in the
prime of life or else become wrought
up over being registered as a mere
school boy when they are in reality
growing their first mustache. One In
stance In which father-in-law got in
bad was when he gave the age of his
daughter-in-law as 80 when in reality
she was only 26.
Cordially Received.
The enumerators are as a rule cor
daily received, and so far have had
no trouble In securing the information
which they are reqired by law to col
ect. They have been prepared in part
Tor the coming of the enumerators by
he educational campaign waged by
he Board of Trade and the press.

GOVERNMENT EXPERT
WILL TEST SCALES
Federal Inspector to Tour Pa
cific Northwest in Interest
of Consumers.

Washington, d. C.-The United
States Bureau OF Standards is pre-
pairing to demonstrate to the people
of the principal cities of the North
west that they have it within their
power materially to reduce the pre-
vailing high cost of living.
F. S. Holbrook, assistant inspector
of weights and measures OF the Bu-
reau of Standards, is now making his
way across the northern tier of states
to the Pacific Coast, and thence south
ward to Los Angeles, stopping en-
route in all large cities to ascertain
in what ways the public is being i'm
posed upon by dealers who, knowing
ly or innocently, are selling short
weight" goods. Mr.. Holbrook, more
over. while en- route will make a
study of state and municipal laws
governing weights and measures, and
will look into the manner and ehec-
! tiveness of the enforcement OF such
/ laws as are on the statute books OF
the different states visited.
In the course OF two or three weeks
Mr.. Holbrook will reach Portland
making inspections IN the meantime
in the big cities of Montana, Spokane
Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia. From
Portland he will go to Astoria, ore
gon City, Salem. Roseburs, and thence
to California. In each of these cities
Mr.. Holbrook, bearing credentials
from the Secretary of Commerce ano
Labor, will visit representative stores
of various types, but particularly gro
cery and provision shops, and there
inspect weighing and measuring de
vices that he finds in use. He VII
visit stores of the best class ane
shops of the lowest type; those witt
fashionable patronage as well al
those that supply the slums.

TWIN CITIES SHOW GROWTH
Enumerators in Two Districts Charged
with Padding 466s Names.

Washington-Charging fraudulent
efforts on the part of two individual
enumerators to pad the census re-
turns for Minneapolis to the extent oil
1868 names, Census Director Durand
announced the correct population OF
that city to be 301, ,40S.
ST. Paul's population is PIAZZA, CIV
ing the Twin Cities together 516.l52.
The gain for st. Paul was 80 per cent
as against 49 per cent for Mime,
apolis.
In giving out the returns Mr.. Dur
and made a statement in which he
said that while more from the Min
neapolis returns than 1000 had been
eliminated, there was no evidence OF
any concerted attempt on the part OF
the enumerators, or of the supervisor
to fraudulently pad the census re
turns.

BALLOT COUNT EXPENSIVE
80 Initiative and Referendum Meas.
ures viii Add $4,000 EXPENSE.


Salem-Accordlng to "a fairly con
servative estimate, 1t will probably
cost the State of Oregon twice as
much to pay for counting the votes on
the 80 initiative and referendum
measures to come up before the peo-
Pile at the general election, November
8. as the combined salaries of the
senators and Representatives in thu
legislature for session OF 40 days.
And this amount includes only the
extra election expense that will be
caused because OF the measures, and
has no reference to the cost OF count
ing votes on the various candidates.
II is safe to assert that in pre-
cinct where there are $50 voters or
over 1t will require fully a day to
count these measures alone. At any
rate, with long ballot oil state, coun.
ty and district officers, more than
day will be consumed In counting
both. As the law provides that the
judges and clerks shall be paid an
extra day, even II their time runs over
q fraction after the first day, II can
be seen that the counting of these
measures will result In an extra days
pay for all Of the judges and clerks in
the various precincts, and in many
OF the precincts where there are
from ESQ TO 700 voters the counting
will make up two extra days.

LARGER WkRSHIPS
FOR UNITED STATES

Washington-Plans for bigger bat
tleships with heavier armor will be
presented to congress during the
forthcoming session by Secretary of
the Navy Meyer when the question
of the building program is taken up
for consideration.
Naval experts have practically
agreed tnat the new type OF ship, of
which congress will be asked to auth
orize the building of two, will be
larger and heavier than the $4,000 ton
ships now under construction. The
tonnage limit will be increased to at
least $4,000 and probably $4,000 when
the plans are matured.
The building program will probably
include torpedo destroyers, and one
additional ship, either an ammunition,
repair, supply or hospital ship. An
important change in the building
plans as outlined in the tentative pro
gram will be enlargement of the de
stroyers to 1000 tons. The largest
now afloat in the United States navy
are $50 tons. This means that the
larger grayhounds of the navy, the
scout destroyers, will become an OBJ
solete class.
