CENSUS WORKERS
AGAIN FEEL AK
Quota of 2s1 Temporary Employees
Dismissed Yesterday Through
Lack of Funds.

Two hundred and eighty-one erstwhiIe
employees of the Census Bureau filed out
OF their Offices last evening, looked at
the building Iongingly. and departed for
their homes In sorrow.
Owing to the meager appropriation
made by Congress for the maintenance
OF the bureau, ii was found necessary
to dispense with the services of the en-
tire temporary force. The Al who quit
their, posts yesterday are the rear guard
Of the clerks who were appointed at the
beginning of the 1910 census. All of them
were employed in the population and ag-
riculture divisions two OF the most i'm
portant branches Of the bureau. and their
loss means a delay in the work OF those
divisions.
Despite the fact that the loss OF their
positions meant a great deal to some or
the employees. there was no waIling or
gnashing of teeth as was anticipated by
some Of the officials Ample notice was
given the employees of their discharge
from the service. A bulletin was posted
five weeks ago, and in the interim a
number of the clerks have busted them
selves in seeking other means Of earning
living.
Apply for Reinstatement.
A number Of the men and women who
were laid or applied Immediately after
the notification by Director Durand. for
reinstatement, but it is probable that
their prompt action will avail them moth
ing. The appropriation makes It impos-
sible to appoint any additional clerks,
and, according to certain regulations
adopted prior to the 1910 census. they
are not eligible for transfer. Congress
men representing the States and districts
from which these discharged clerks come
have received appeals from them for per-
msnent appointments, but they are pow
erless to do any thing for them under
present conditions.
Should Congress decide, however, TO
make an additional appropriation. IT
would mean the retention Of a number
OF the clerks under what are known as
emergency appointments"
= The clerks affected by the latest swing
OF the official FAX" represent thirty-eIght
States and the District of Columbia, and
a great many of them left for their dis
tricts last night. declaring they believed
there was no chance for their reappoint-
ment and that they intended 20 seek en-
plOyment nearer to their homes.

SWANS DEFY THE
'LEAP-YEAR" DAY.
Nineteen Couples Try Matrimony
on Twenty-ninth Day
of February.

Nineteen daring SWANS accompanied
by a like number OF adoring sweet
hearts descended upon the marriage
license bureau yesterday and applied
for certificates that made it possible
rimony. February % is their lucky
day, they say.
None of them were in the least awed
when a clerk pointed to the calendar
and reminded them that they would
have but one anniversary every four
years, and one playfuliy remarked to
the nervous little slip of a girl lean
ing on his strong arm: That's all right,
grille; we will stay young a great deal
longer than we would if we were mar
ried on any other day."
Four Yenrs' Quarrel.
Il know that" replied the bride-to-
be, but people say that married folks
never get along without little quar-
eeling during the first year they are
married. Now, we will have to be
cross to each other four years"
So IL went all day. The old adage
that love laughs at locksmiths was
amended to read laughs at supersti-
tion," the persons who obtained the IL
censes declaring unanimously that they
were not going TO delay at a little
thing like leap year.
The out-of-town persons who procured
licenses were in too much haste to delay
and hurried TO their minister as soon as
the necessary formaiities were dispensed
with. The marriage of Ralph d. Lewis,
twenty-five years old. of Lincoln, Va,
10 Anita ]. Smith, of Viewtown. Va, oc-
cssioned much comment in the bureau,
Miss Smith being but sixteen years old.
Others from outside the district who de-
fed fate were:
William A Ladden, So of Washington
and Nellie E. Olmstead. 25., of Grand
Rapids Mich. Rev. Wilbur " AIallahen.
Farncis W. Fitzhugh, g, and Kate NJ.
Payne. "a, both of Charlottesville, Va.
Rev. ]. ]. Muir.
Van B. Wilson, 81, and Mary S. RAM
son, 80. both of Charlestown. w. Va
Rev. William T. McKenney.
Lillian II. Thompson, 30. and Angeline
Pugh, q. both of Gaithersburg, Md. Rev.
Z. Stanley.
All OF the foregoing were questioned on
their daring, and all of them declared
they were SO happy that they Just would
marry, regardless of the day or year. So
there.

LEAP YEAR GOOD TINE
TO BE BORN, SAY DOCTORS

Oficials of the health department yes
terday discussed among themselves the
proposition: Does fortune smile upon
the babe born on February 2e?'
DIR. w. c. Fowler, of the office. be-
neves there is a great advantage in be-
ing born on February %
1T is simply great for girls TO be born
on the last day of February in leap year. -
said the doctor. Just think of it-such
girls would not be sixteen until they
had reached the age of sixty-four. They
would be young all OF their lives. There
is no question but what such birth is
desirable in the case OF females.
-TWith respect to males, still believe
that TO be born on February g is an ad-
vantage. To be sure a man would not
be a man until he reached the advanced
age of eighty-four: but what difference
would that make in the District of Co
lumbia. where no one has a voice in the
government? The advantage lies in the
fact that there would be but one re-
minder in four years that the leap year
born man was growing Old
1t was not possible TO ascertain yester-
day the names Of the families of the
leap year babies horn Physicians have
a week within which 10 report the births.
