Mails to Be Used
in Gathering Data.

in Gathering Data. proved impos-
sible to get the necessary Information by
writing This correspondence method has
long been used to some extent In taking
the census of manufactures, but never
before has 1t been so extensively en-
ployed. The business men OF the Uniteo
States are cooperating with the ou-
reau in the collection of this infor-
nation In a way which shows that the
Importance of the work IS belng more
and more generally appreciated. The
success of the correspondence metnod
will save the American people about
100000.
It would seem at glance that cor
rect appra isal Of manufactures by mail
would be extremely difficult, as each in
diyidual could describe his property to
suit himself AS a matter OF fact. how
ever, the bureau has 80 many checks and
counterchecks that fraud Is extremely
difficult.
The first step in collecting this census
was to write to all of the manufacturers
who were listed in the last census OF
this sort, sending each Of them schedule
to All out. Application was next made
to the boards of trade. chambers OF COM
merce, manufacturers associations and
all other similar organizations for exact
information as to the manufactures con-
trolled by their membership.
Mctl'H VI HldHs VI thSSS VI tnAitHeasAoaA'
were attended by officials Of the bureau.
and they were addressed upon the i'm
portance of the work being done by the
census bureau. The willing and efiicient
cooperation Of most of them has been
secured.
In addition to the information obtained
from these organizations. and from the
ind viduals themselves, the reports and
records Of state bureaus of manufactures
are used, and all city and trade directo-
ries are consulted.
The first returns from this study of
American manufactures will probably be
sent out next July. when the figures for
some of the smaller states will be COM
plete. These will be followed by the re-
ports for metropolitan districts. and fl
nally the report for the entire United
States will be published.
Among the most interesting publica-
lions of the census bureau are it's spe-
cial reports. These are made by tabu-
lating the figures of the regular decen-
NAL census with regard to special
classes or districts. Thus the present
'intercensar' program of the bureau
includes special reports upon the
racial classes represented in the popu-
lation, the population of metropolitan
districts, the age of farmers In relation
to the tenure and size Of their farms.
the Indian population and the blind
and deaf.
Nearly all of these reports cover

MANY MEN IDLE
BECAUSE OF STRIKE
Carpenters Asked Increased Wages
and Contractors Refused
the Demand.

poets were not particularly bright TO-
night in the biggest industrial war
Chicago has known in many years.
Besides $4,000 or more fathers, plast.
erers and sheet metal workers who
have been out for more than a week,
i 900 carpenters and millmen have
lis estimated that the carpenter strike
alone has thrown out Of work an adj
ditional 100000 building craftsmen and
workers in allied trades.
The carpenters insist on the con-
tractors signing a three year agree
ment by which the men receive 70
cents an hour the first year, 72k cents
the second, and Is cents the third
year.
The contractors offered a fat 2A
cent increase to 671s cents an hour.
It was refused.
One smuggling marked today's de-
velopments. The man attacked was
non-union. Union leaders declared the
contractors themselves hired the slug
gers to cast reflection on the unions.
Contractors laughed at the charge and
accused the union men of Importing
gunner and hoodlums to intimidate
non-union workmen.

clared he would be glad to submit his

which are now made possible in skin
beauty are really startling, but it is
regrettable to note that the means EN-.
ployed to obtain these changes are
not only weak, but useless in most
cases. II all depends on what you use.
There is a formula which eclipses any
preparation known for identifying the
skin. Its results are extraordinary. |
advise every woman to stop using all
other skin-beautifying creams and use
this formula. Simply mix one table
spoonful of glycerine in pint Of wat.
er and add one ounce of zintone.
This forms a cream, use it literally
and very soon your skin will take on
most decided clearness and purity,
and every muddy spot, red spot,
freckle and blemish will have disap-
peared. This formula should mean a
fortune to the woman who uses It.
The zintone can be secured at any
drug store at moderate price.
MRS. OPIE F.-There is a wrinkle
rmoving formula which has the pc
cnliar property OF making the skin
plump and vigorous. This is the only
way in which all wrinkles, both little
and big, can ever be successfully re-
moved. The youthful appearance pro-
duced in a short time by the use Of
this formula is really startling. Mix
this at home by>addingsto half pint
Of hot water two tablespoonfuls Of
glycerine and two ounces OF eptol.
This makes half pint OF the cream,
costing several times less than you
would have to pay for a cream at the
stores. and which would not be sue
cessful. Any drug STORE will supply
you with the eptol. BY using this
cream faithfully, and ~liberally. you

The Natchitoches enterprise. (Natchitoches, La.) 1888-1965, 1915-03-18

On Friday night, March 18th
the store of Mr.. John H. Henry
was robbed, supposed to have
been done by three tramps, who
were noticed around the evening
before. The robbers used a ladder
and entered through an upper
story window into the res ident
part of the building. The store
manager, Mr.. A. L. West and
wife and child were sleeping in
one room, and visitor, Mr.. Samuel
o. Airhart Of Derry, La, in an
adjourning room. Mr.. Airhart
lost an Automatic revolver, watch
and purse.
Mr.. West had the keys to the
store in his pocket and these we're
taken and the front doors down
stairs opened. also the shells out
of the shot gun which stood at the
head of Mr.. Vests bed, several
pairs of shoes and some clothing
were missing out of the store. The
parties lunched in the store on
canned goods, light bread and
butter, and then returned the
keys back to the upper floor be-
fore departing. Next morning all
parties in the store awoke, but had
slept as tho they had been chloro-
formed, which it is supposed they
we're from all accounts.

Resolution Of Respect.

At a Meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Peoples Bank, held this day,
the following resolutions was offered,
seconded and unanimously passed:
Resolved:
That in the death of the Honorable
Leopold Caspari, this bank has lost a
member of its Board of Directors,
whose nigh character; whose wise, con-
servative and able management has
contributed materially to the success
of the institution.
Resolved:
That as one of the organizers Of this
Bank some 10 years ago, Mr.. Caspari
was elected President of the Board Of
Directors and has occupied that posi-
ton until his death. Under his guiding
hand this Bank has reached a com
handing position, and has contributed
to the material welfare of the Parish.
To him more than any single individual
is due its success.
Resolved:
That it is beyond the scope Of these
resolutions to do more than refer to
Mr.. Caspari's labor in other fields.
Suffice it to say, that his long life spent
in this Parish, his adopted home, has
been devoted to the public interest,
and on every occasion where patriotism,
wisdom and earnest effort was requir-
ed, in the van was found, Leopold
Caspari.
Resolved:
That this, our modest testimonial to
the mans character and his worth be
spread upon the minutes, and a copy
sent to his family, with the assurance,
that with them, we mourn his loss, and
shall ever treasure vivid memory of
his friendly nature, his kind, courteous
and generous character.
