WASHINGTON There was time
in the country's history when military
enumerators, backed by bayonets.

compulsory service census. Now un-

put into the hands of the people, the

Hereunder will be coincident. All
persons within the age limits pre-
scribed will be required to present
themselves for registration at the Gus
tomary places in voting precincts in
which they have permanent homes on
a day which the president will an
nounce. The probability is that from
ten to fifteen days will elapse from
the passage of the bill and registra-

the chief of registration therein. The
machinery of registration in each
county is to be in charge of the sher

the governor. In cities containing a
population of more than 10000 the
registration will be under control of
the mayor and selected boards of reg

ed county and city officials, and the
people generally, can get clear un-
derstanding of the census methods, the
following brief outline is given:
The sheriffs or other designated Of

tice from the governor, shall appoint
registrars for each voting precinct.
The proportion of registrars shall
be one for each 100 persons to be reg
istered. Each age to be registered will
comprise about one per cent of the
population. If, for instance, all men
between 10 and % years of age, in
