Working Up-The Stdtisticidn
BY CARL II. MILAN
Director Public Library

Lies. Damned Lies and Statistics il
the somewhat daring title of an article in
the Unpopular Review for April, 1915 Its
very heading ought to attract attention
and there is something in the article to
make man glad he has read 1t.
Statistics is not a subject ordinarily
called popular. There are, however, hun
dreds of men and women In a city like
Birmingham who find 1t a part of their
regular duty to make reports of one sort
or another. All these people are at least
amateurs in the statisticians profession.
Most compilations of figures and state
ments based on tabulated statistics are
SO dry and uninteresting that men will
not read them unless they are forced
to do so. Consequently those who desire
to present facts of this character have
invented methods of giving the same in
refer to the charts, maps, diagrams, ETC.,
such as are used in many reports, espe-
cially In the reports of the United States
census bureau.
Graphic Methods for Presenting Facts
Is the first book to be published on this
subject. The author is Willard c. Brin-
ton, who says that he has presented the
subject from the point of view of the
business man, the social worker and the
legislator, as well as the engineer, biolo-
gist and the real statistician. The pecu-
liarly attractive feature of the book is
that it does not need to be read. In
an hours time man can get the most
important facts presented in this book of
nearly 400 pages by simply looking at
the illustrations and reading the titles

bDOU MANAGER
ARRIVES IN CITY
States Stock Company Will
Be Best Ever Seen In
Birmingham

Enthusiastic over plays players and
things theatrical, Dewitt Newing, who
will be the local manager for f. r. Sand
ford, the new lessee of the Bijou thea
tire, arrived in Birmingham last night to
do the preliminary work preparatory to
the opening of the season at the popular
loyal playhouse. When seen last night
Mr.. Newing had the following to say
about the plans for the forthcoming sea-
son at the Bijou:
In a few days our company will be
here and hard at work rehearsing our
opening play, filled with desire to make
the coming season of stock the very best
Birmingham has ever had.
1T had been our original intention to
open the season on Labor Day, but for
two very good reasons we decided to post
pone the opening until Monday, Septem-
Der ID. One reason was that some of
the people whom we were most anxious
t. have in the company could not get
released from previous engagements in
time for opening on Labor Day, and
the other reason was due to the supersti-
tion of Grayce Scott Miss Scott, who
will be the star of our company, has
lucky number and that number is 10.
anu she did not want to open until that
date. Feeling somewhat supersttious
about the matter ourselves, we decided to
follow her wishes.
II am not quite ready to announce the
name of our opening play. but 1t will
prove to be one of the latest new York
successes and a play that has never been
seen before in Birmingham at other than
high prices. We are paying a good
healthy royalty for it and l am sure it
will prove drawing card, and show off
the company to the best possible advan-
tage.
las for our plays during the season we
have secured really wonderful list of
attractions. 1t is our intention to produce
the best plays obtainable from the most
widely known authors and producing
managers in New York. From George M.
Conan we have secured his latest success,
1.-The Miracle Man. and also Broadway
JONES'" and have also been promised his
''Seven Keys TO Baldpate'' as soon as it
is released for stock. From David Be-
lasco we get The Girl of the Golden
West The Woman and The Easiest
Way three of the greatest plays ever
produced by that master mind of the
theatre, Margaret Mayo, whose play
Twin Beds had the longest run of
any play produced in New York last sea-
son, has contributed Baby Mine'' and
Polly of the Circus Other plays which
have always proven tremendously popu-
lar and which we intend producing are
"Way Down East, THE Virginian,''
''Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch.'' and

and subttles. Mr.. Brinton has found that
very few craftsmen know how to pre-
pare diagram or plan curves from the
figures themselves but he believes that
the executive can select an illustration
in this book and show it to a drafts
man of reasonable ability and get the
results he wants.
A reviewer in the Engineering News
says: Briefly. the book is a conscien-
tious effort to give all of the various
methods of graphic representation. This
necessarily includes the ordinary curves
and diagrams and higher cumulative and
mass curves, frequency curves, etc, with
which the engineer is familiar. In addi-
ton 1t comprises the different photograph
ic and pictorial representations of COM
parative figures and the various curve
forms which are adapted to business en-
terprises, such things as cost and pro-
duction records
This is the only book in the Birmng-
ham public library on statistics, but there
are dozens of reports from all kinds of
institutions and industries which will
serve as samples to one making a report
and there are some good articles in the

DOES YOUR CHILD
KNOW WHERE IT LIVES?
SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT
BY MRS. SIDNEY NJ. ULLMAN

THE numbers on my grandpa.s garden
GATE was all he knew as he looked in
bewilderment at the big policeman and
the unfamiliar surroundings.
This little boy was lost, and even his
careful parents that had thought to teach
him everything had entirely overlooked
this bit of informa tion-the number of his
house and street. This little boy was
lost many. many years ago in New Or
leans when numbers were all placed on
the garden gates. The big policeman had
to keep the little tot until the anxious pa
rents found him.
DO you know that in big cities SO many
children are lost every day that there are
special people whose duty it is to look
fer them and try to restore them to their
parents? In New York there is the appal-
ling average of 1900 children lost every
year.
quite E number are never found, but in
spite of the many discourse ements in
dealing with the lost child many are re-
stored In most cases when a child is
lost he does not stray very far from
home ana usually in large city he runs
into the kind arms of policeman (no tell
ing now far he would have to stray in
birmingham for such thing as police
man to be found. However. If he cannot
tell definitely where he lives the police
man takes him to the nearest station to
await developments.
The New York World states there are
two chief reasons why children stray
oil rom nome-moving day and parades.
Children who are taken into a strange
locality are sometimes not looked after
carefully until they have found them
selves and consequently the turning of
a corner or a less cause will make them
grow confused and wander away.

of locating certain things in the neighbour

few parents realize the necessity of max

questions. Another splendid way to famil-
iarize the child with directions is to have
him lead the way home after a walk or
