man in the entire country making living
from bottling the smoke of burning hick-

enormous and tedious task. The work is

similar work during the iabulation Of four
census returns. The more commonplace
occupations. including one-half of the total.
have already been punched" by the clerks
on the card indexes for general facts cor
cerning population.
But the unusual occupations To he listed
require special classification and are now
being prepared by a trained corps OF nine
" clerks. Special machinery and tabulat-
ing blanks are necessary. with abhrevia-
tions and space for the entry OF an un
usual number of facts concerning the indi-
Nidual and his occupation. As with most of
the other work in the Census Bureau. the
record is made by electric and hand punch
