SOURCES OF OvERCOUNTING. The names improperly enumerated in the various cities and districts con- cerned may be roughly grouped un- der the following classes:
 Purely fictitious names, probably comparatively few.
 Persons who were residents of the city, but who did not reside in the enumeration district in which ficti- tiously reported and who were already enumerated at their true residence. Persons formerly residents of the city, but who had permanently left it, or who, in some cases, had died; times taken from old directories or from pay rolls of employers.
 Persons who had never had perm anent residence in the city and were not there at the time of the enumer- ation, but who previously. at one time or another had been temporarily present in the city.
 Persons temporarily present in the city on the census day (April 15), but whose usual place of abode was else where.
 Persons perhaps having no usual place of abode and who were not pres ent in the city on the census day, but some cases several weeks after the census day.
 UNAUTHORIZED ASSISTANCE OF
 GENERATORS.
 In a considerable proportion of cities in which overcounting took place, it was due largely to the unauthorized activity of private individuals in col lecting names and turning them over to the enumeratOrs. In other words many enumerators permitted lnforma- tion obtained by private individuals ind cod hxy Tviyy fo in dividuals as to the claim of persons to enumeration to be substituted for information secured and judgment ex- ercised by themselves. These private individuals, subject to no responsibil- ity, usually entirely ignorant of the enumeration. and often actuated by the illegitimate desire to pad the re- turns, could not, of course, properly do the work of the enumeration.
 In a number of cities committees were constituted by boards of trade were otherwise formed, t~. assist in the census. The nominal purpose in all cases was merely to make sure that the enumeration was cCmplete. and in some instances the activities of these committees were actually helpful to the census. Tn some in- stances, however, even where the pur pose and the methods of these com mittees were legitimate, the result was an over-count of the population, and in other cases the purpose and meth ods of at least individual members of committees and those employed by them were conspicuously illegitimate and fraudulent.
 It was strong temptation to an umerator to add such names to nis schedules, both for financial reasons and in order to make the population of his city appear as large as possi- ble. By entering a name without in vestigation, he could, in the work of 8 single minute, secure the compen- sation provided. usually 2 F or cents per name, while it might requira many minutes or even an hour or more to investigate the claim of a person to enumeration, with the pos sible result of finding that he should

calities. Conspicuous cases of over- counting or undercounting, which are investigated, form no basis for con- clusions as to the work of the great body of the enumerators. That in no locality of any size is the census ab- solutely accurate is certain.
 TOTAL POPULATION SLIGHTLY UNDERSTATED.
 It is probable that, taking the coun- try as a whole, the population is slightly understated by the Census Bureau, but whether the margin of
 error is a fraction of 1 per cent. or amounts to as much as per cent.
 no one can possibly know. That 1t should exceed per cent. is certain
 ly extremely improbab
 The most Fundamental sources of error in census work are the absolute inability of the enumerators to per sonally reach every individual con- corning whom information is requtr- ed, and the ignorance of many per- sons themselves concerning the cor rect answers to the questions pro- pounded toethem. Other causes, which by changes in methods, are: The large number of questions on the schedules; the inclusion in the sched- ules of inquiries which many people cannot answer correctly only after prolonged consideration; lack of ex- perience on the part of nearly all enumerators; lack of experience on the part of those supervising the ac- tual work of collecting the statistics, namely, the supervisors of the census and their clerks and special agents; inadequate means for securing per- sonal contact between the supervisory officers and the enumerators; the en- umeration of the population on the basis of usual place of abode;" the prolongation of enumeration over a considerable period of time; the un- warranted interference of private ir,- dividuals and organizations with the taking of the census; and the amount and form of the payments to emu merators.
 It is the intention of the Director. by careful study of the methods of census taking abroad and by ether investigations, to attempt to discover whether means can be devised for materially improving the work of census taking in the United States; and in a future report the results of such inquiry will be presented, to- gether with a further analysis of the sources of error under present meth ods. It may be that the present methods of taking the census secure results as nearly perfect as is pos sible, but the practicability of i'm provements in methods is clearly de- serving of most thorough investign- ton and consideration.

TWENTY-THREE CITIES OvERCOUNTED
Census Director Durand Gives Details in His Annual Report

Washington; Feb. 21-A considerable part of the annual report for 19O9-10 which Census Director Durand has Department of Commerce and Labor is devoted to the subjects of over counting, or padding" and under counting the population of several de- Hberate conspiracies between private individuals and local special agents and enumerators to initiate census re- turns; of the durability of a Federal law prohibiting the unofficial circula- tion of printed slips containing census questions;s and of the extent of the marg n of error in the Thirteenth Gen. SuS count.
 After careful investigation of the re- turns and schedules by expert clerks in the bureau, it was found necessary to correct the population figures for some 23 cities, whose census returns had been inaccurately made, Or pad ded." either intentionally or through however, was any correction in the population figures made without first conducting a careful investigation in the city iself.
 EVIDENCES OF
 DELIBERATE CONSPIRACY
 The Director states that in several cities there seems to have been a de- 1iberate conspiracy between private individuals and some of the special agents or enumerators, or both, to initiate, fraudulently the census re- turns. It would be inadvisable to present the evidence of such conspira- cies in any individual case at the present time, as only after investiga- tion by the Department of Justice and the possible ensuing prosecutions will the facts be fully known.
 By direction of the President, the Census Bureau has already laid the facts thus far ascerta:ned with regard to several cases of padding" before the Department of Justice and other cases will shortly be brought to it's attention.
 Up to the present time indictments have been brought and convictions se- cured in the case of three enumera- tors in Great Falls, Mont, and in dictments have been secured, which are now pending trial. in the case of one enumerator in Seattle, Wash. and of three enumeratOrs and one special agent in Fort Smith, Ark.
 It is not believed that the errors and fraud in the present census in any way exceeded those in previous eensuSes; on the contrary, it is very likely that they were less extensive. GredC0r. ellOrI. nOWeNcr, was gwen at the present census than at any preced- ing to the investigation of the correct ness of the returns, and consequently errors and frauds were discovered in a larger number of cases than at any preceding census.
 In describing the general character and method of overcounting or pad ding the census returns in large cit ies Director Durand says in his re- port that it was impossible in many cases to distinguish clearly between del.berate fraud and misjudgment It is undoubtedly very difficult in many tor to decide whether a given person is or is not entitled to enumeration in his district. The difficulty arises chiefly in connection with the float ine 1aonu1ation.

 Using the estimate of 2,000 acres under cultivation for the raising of shade-grown tobacco, it would mean not far from 5000 bales, or, figuring at 1,2O0 pounds to the acre, the crop would run to 2,400,000 pounds, which would be the equivalent of about the same number of dollars. It seems safe to say that the 1911 crop in the Connecticut Valley will mean not less than $2,000.000 to the growers, them selves. Estimates of the number of acres to be devoted to the cultivation of shade-grown tobacco during 1911 are made as follows:

he thought $50 insurance is enough.
Heinzy's $50 nail is on his right
thumb and is IL inches long. He uses
the nail almost entirely In his busi-

of insuring his nail when he suffered
