A more intricate and difficult work is the division of the country into the enumeration districts, so that no part of it. however minute, may be ex- cluded from the survey, and so that each district shall be within the com- pass of one mans labor for day It is found in practice that in towns a district comprising about 200 houses is large enough for one enumerator to tackle; while in the country a dis trict involving a 15-mile walk is the measure of his powers, and into tens of thousands of such sections tine whole area of the country must be mapped out
 Orders have already been given for the preparation of the almost count less schedules which in a few weeks time will be scattered broadcast over the land.
 For this millions it is calculated that 20,O00 reams of paper have to be especially manufactured and some thing like 9,5O0,00O schedules printed.
 Later these millions of schedules will be sent to every point of the compass to the superintendent regis WHO III turn VIII them among the heads of their sub districts, to be kept until the week before the census day. Then they will be handed to the 4G,OOO or more enumerators, each of whom will dis tribute them in his special district, noting the delivery of each schedule in book proyided for the purpose
 On April 3 all the schedules will be collected with their many questions duly answered.; if any assistance is required in filling up the form the enumerator's duty is to give it. But his work by no means ends here, all though he will probably have well earned his money by this time. He must further "copy the entries in the schedules into his enumeration book and make an abstract of them n d form showing the total number ot persons. males and females, the num- Der of houses, and so on.'
 This task completed. the superin- tendent registrars dispatch their thou sands of bundles of material to the Pimilco headquarters, where a largely augmented staff of clerks wrestlas with them, gradually evolving from seeming chaos those wonderful tables of statistics which proclaim to the world all it wants to know about King Georges subjects at home

CHECKING OFF ITS PEOPLE
Census of Great Britain and Ireland
 to be Taken Sunday

Once more the fiat has gone forth jects,-on Sunday, April 2, says Lon don Tit Bits. The necessary cen sus acts-one for Great Britain, the other for IreIand-have been publish
 ed and after resting from its labors for nearly 10 years the great cen- sus taking machinery has begun to work again, and will know no rest from it's labors for considerably more than a year.
 More than ascentury ago 1t was no easy work to count the kings sub jects, when there were fewer than 5000, 900 persons in England. Now that the population has grown four fold. and today is, as nearly as pos sible, 36.O00.O0O. its vastness requires no pointing out
 r Already the whole country is flood ed with tens of thousands of circulars and letters-to the local authorities, enjoining them to see that the naming and numbering of every street is in apple pie order before the fateful date of the census, so that the work of the enumeratOrs may be made as simple as possible; and to the thou sands of superintendent registrars. requiring them to arrange in good time for the services of a vast army of enumerators whose number for Great Britain alone will exceed 40,- 900. All this naturally leads to deluge of correspondence-lette by tens of thousands, each of which must be carefully considered and an swered.

THROWN FROM BUGGY.

MT. and Mrs. oscar Keene and baby had a very narrow escape from being killed Thursday evening. They were driving in to Mesa, and when near the bank corner the horse they were driv- ing became fractious and overturned the buggy, throwing the occupants out on the hard street. The animal proceeded up the street. but Mir. Keene was lon the job" and did a little sprinting that would have done credit to a cross-country runner and succeed ed in heading off and stopping the animal. He then turned his attention to the wife and baby who had by this time gathered themselves together and were waiting his return. It was almost miraculous that neither were very seri- ously injured. although the baby re- ceived a few bruises. but otherwise is none the worse for the accident

Columbus, Ga. July 31.-J E. Boone, who stands six feet in his shoes ana reg isters from Mobile, is under arrest here charged with carrying conccSled weapons, pointing pistol at another Nnd assault with intent to rob, as the result of a sensational occurrence at the Rankin house, where he was stopping.

Once inside, he says, Boone locked the door, drew a pistol and told him to pre- pare to die unless he gave him back $126 he had stolen from his room.
 Sinder finally worked his way to the window, three stories above the sidewalk and got on the sl, and spectators who heard his frantic cries for Help! Police" thought he was in the act of jumping.

FIRE PREVENTION
 IS NOW PROPOSED
Wisconsin Association Asks Governors
 to Proclaim Day for Preventing Fire Waste

Montgomery, July 31.-(SpeciaD.- ernor O'Neal has received a letter from T. M. Purnell, state fire marshal Of Wis consin. calling attention to a resolution which was adopted on June H. 1911, at a convention of the state fire marshals held in Chicago, which MT. Purtell claims if adopted by the several states would result in a very material benefit and is one which every thoughtful man will ad- init is deserving of serious considera- ton.
 The resolution urges upon the gover- nors of the various states the import ance of setting aside a day each year to he observed as fire prevention day, and October 9. the anniversary of the Chica- go fire, is suggested as an appropriate date.
 The governor is asked to issue a proc lamation calling the attention of the citizens of the state to the enormous preventable fire waste of the country and urge the taking of such precautions, individual and municipal. as will tend to reduce 1t. It Is suggested that approp- riate exercises be held in the public schools, instruction on the common fire hazards can be given the children andl the day made the occasion of "clean- up day., which is doing much to remove hazardous conditions
 Governor O Neal has not as yet issued a proclamation but has the matter un-- der advisement.

TROUBLE BREWING
 FOR COMMISSION Four of MOntgOmery's Ad- ministratOrs Charged
 With Usurpation

Montgomery, July 31.-(Special.)-Q waranto papers calling upon four'of the five commissioners of Montgomery to show cause why they are usurping office, violating thereby, it is alleged, the com mission government act which should be -.n vogue, were today filed in the circuit court of Montgomery by C. D. Crenshaw, . pract.cing attorney of Montgomery.
 The complainant alleges in his brief that the commission government act under which the commissioners are oper- sting is void on the ground that the first commission government act became operative, ipso facto, by virtue of re- maining on the governors desk six days before it was returned to the legislature for amendment.
 The original commission government act authorizes the election of two commis- sioners to assist Mayor W. A. Gunter in tre conduct of the city's affairs. The bill which supplanted the original act, and under which Montgomery is now operat- ing, provided for the appointment of four commissioners for the first term, to assist Mayor Gunter.
 The proceedings. accordingly. are di-
 
 Intyre, E. B. Joseph, Walter R. Bras sell and J. T. Letcher, the Montgomer- fans who were appointed by Governor Emmet O'Neal
 The fight leading up to the present proceedings has been a strenuously contested one, with various views be- ing expressed pro and con the stua- tion. Contention of one side has been that tue constitution is clear in allow ing the governor to retain a Dill only six days a provision which is alleged to have been violated by the chief eX- ecutive. Friends and advisers of Gov ernor O'Neal, howeer, allege that the goernor was within his rights in the case, and that the present act is clear ly constitutional.
 Since first agitation of the question numerous points have been advanced alleging the unconsttutionality of the act on numerous grounds, while equally as many points have been advanced to show why the original act, if it should be declared the proper one, is void and unconstitutional
 The outcome of the proceedings is be- ing eagerly awaited.
