IRISH CENSUS EXPECTED
TO SHOW LESS DECREASE
Only Part of United Kingdom In
Which Religion Figures.

Preparations are now complete for
the taking of the census in Ireland.
For many decades the census in Ire
land has told a gloomy tale of dimin-
ishing population, and the most hoped
for in 1911 is that, though the decrease
may be shown to continue, its rate
may show some check.
The plan in Ireland differed and still
differs from that at the other side of
the Irish sea. There they have an
ators; in Ireland the work of collecting
the returns is left to the police. One
of the features of the return which is
exciting increasing interest is that de-
voted to language. Each person will
have to state whether he speaks Irish
only or both Irish and English or Eng
lish only. The figures will thus show
by comparison with former cases
whether the decay of Irish has been
effectually checked by the Gaelic
league and will mark those districts
where it has most real vitality.
Another question of Importance af-
fects the birth rate. Each married wo-
man will have to state the duration of
her marriage and the number of chill
dren born of it and how many sur
vive. Ireland is one of the few coun
tries which in this respect show little
change from census to census. The
actual birth rate is one of the lowest
in the world because of economic
causes leading to the restriction of
marriage. But the proportion of births
to marriages is one of the highest in
the world, and the census of 1911 will
once more demonstrate that fact.
Ireland is the only part of the United
Kingdom in which there is a religious
census. Everybody is expected to state
his form of religious belief, though
there is no penalty for refusing to an
swer the question. Protestants are
urged to distinguish between their vari-
Gus denominations, and so far there
has never been any difficulty in ar
irving at a pretty exact estimate as to
all the churches.

CHURCH FOR LATE SPOONERS
Come at Midnight, Says Pastor, and
Avoid Lobster Palaces.

The Rev. John Thompson of the
Methodist Episcopal church in Whea-
ton, near Chicago, has begun a cru
sade to induce sweethearts to give up
expensive lobster palaces" bring mid
night lunches and do their courting IN
the church pews.
His rules will allow the sentimental
ly stricken to stay late, with a big
room and piano and 100 pews as roomy
as davenports.
"There is no better place in the
world for a young couple to do their
counting than in church." announced
the pastor. 81 believe in matchmaking
that is, in the right kind of match
making.
"This talk about dinners at lobster
palaces and expensive seats at thea
ters and taXicab bills is a mistake. A
good girl who really loves a man does
not want to see him make a fool of
himself when he is courting her any
more than she wants to see him do so
after they are married"

tanned by making Good"
A "city of vagabonds'' is to be estab-
hshed by Nebraska, and all tramps
drunkards or delinquents Of other
kinds who drift into that state will he
in danger of being made citizens of the
new colony.
The city will not rob the peniten-
tiary of any of it's prisoners, but is in
tended to take care of that large class
of unfortunates designated by profess
sional charity workers as "below the
poverty line" The bill creating the
new colony is before the Nebraska
legislature
1t will be the first institution of it's
kind in the United States and as an
experiment along untried lines is at
tracing the attention of sociologists
everywhere. No real criminals will be
admitted to citizenship, only unfortu
mates being accepted.
Big Acreage Required.
The bill calls for the establishment
of colony ON the oprairies far from
the temptations of large city. The
size of the institution is not mentioned
In the bill, but its hackers think from
5000 to 10000 acres will be necessary
once the colony is in full working or
der. In addition to a big farming area,
there will be shops of all kinds, an iron
foundry, a ,shoeshop, a bookbindery,
a tailor shop, furniture factory u
planning mill and similar Industries.
The output of the colony will not come
in competition with that of private
concerns, but will be used in great
measure in the different state institu-
tions.
As described in the bill, its purpose
is the establishment of a colony for
the detention, humane discipline and
reformation of male adults committed
as tramps, vagrants, inebriates and
those addicted to the excessive use of
cocaine, morphine and other narcotics
and unable to provide for those de-
pendent upon them.'
Freedom on Making Good"
When one coming within those lines
is brought before the proper authori-
ties, instead of being sentenced to the
city Jail or the state prison he will be
sent to Vagabond City. No fixed
term of Incarceration is settled upon
but the delinquent is simply sent to
the city until lie becomes self support
ing, after which he is sent back to
the world as a man able to take care
of himself. While in the Getty" he
is taught an occupation or trade and
instead of the man unable to support
himself he is sent out to the world
a skilled laborer.
1t is the belief of the supporters OF
the bill that from two years to ten
years will be needed in which to make
the colonists self supporting.

By RUTH CAMERON

= F we could isolate excessively nervous people as w do scarlet fever Dr.
dtphthera O smallpox patients. we should have a happier and more
. efficient world.
That Is a conclusion to which growing realization OF the contagion
of nerves has driven me.
There is a widow in or town who earns her living By "accommodat-
ing" This woman as the most nervous energy OF any person / ever
less she is rushing Unkind rumor has it that her temperament had some
thing o do with the untmely death of her late lamented, but don't
know about that ReDnty she wa recommended to a friend of mine
whose broken health made it imperative that she have some trustworthy
and capable person to help her about her house Apparently Mrs. R. was
Just the person. Actually my friend endured her just a week.
If / should live with that woman a month I'd be n the hospital
she explained to N later. 81 never a more tired in M life than at the
end OF the week she was here. Yes, she did al. the homework and more
but honestly 1t made me more tired to have her in the house with m e than
it would to do everything myself. why 1t works me up just to be in the
room with her. 1 think she actually radiates nerves. You know I'm a
past four " i've all the time she was with me-. l know she thinks I'm
ungrateful for all the work she did, but 1 simply couldn't stand 1t an
other day"
That's one example of the contagion of nerves.
Here's another: A livery stable keeper just yesterday, vas bewafing
the fact to ne that his best saddle horseh had been hurt in a runaway.
Had that horsef or ten years and let him to all kinds OF people
know what the trouble was Miss Cameron. 1t wasn't that the durer
didn't know how to ride. He's taken dozens of lessons. 1t al just be-
cause he waAso darned nervous that he worked that horse all up"

button to make to this subject. She came home the other night complete

l ever tell you about him? Why he is the bete-nofr Of the office. We'd
rather take any other mans dictatioA all the morning than his for an
hour. No, he doesn't dictate 81 terribly fast. It's just that he's o horri-
bly, nervous keyed up, and n hurry inside that he makes everybody
he talks ito feel nervous and o a tension. Some % the girls have hyster-

In regard to the telephone. When the telephone rings very quickly 1 am
