Tho Census In Ancient Times.

While the greatest strides In the
advance Of vital statistics as science
have been made In recent years, their
origin may be traced to centuries be-
fore Christ. Indeed, Herodotus tells
US Of census Of Egypt taken about
1850 B. c. for the purpose Of making
arrangements for the construction Of
the Pyramids. Elsewhere this same
author refers to second census. taken
about 400 B. G. In Egypt by Rameses
II for the purpose Of reapportioning
all the land Of Egypt among his sub
jects. The Bible tells US that Moses
counted the tribes Of Israel to deter
mine their fighting strength and that
David, about 1913 B. c., took census
for the same purpose. There Is a rec
ord Of census taken In China about
1900 B. c., when data Of the provinces
were collected by Uklng.-S. w.

Statistics.

Washington, Oct. 15.-Another
great effort by Germany's submar-

Sir Eric Geddes. first lord OF the
British admiralty. paying tribute to
the part played in the war by the
American navy disclosed that plans
of the enemy for what may be the
final intensified U-boat campaign OF
ruthlessness are known and that the
allies are prepared to meet It.
No details were given by Sir Eric
nor was further information to De
obtained at the navy department as
to what the American and allied ma
val chiefs have learned. There were
suggestions that Germany. in the
midst of peace offensive and with
her soldiers being driven back &c
their own borders, hoped to strength
en- her diplomatic drive for peace by
negotiation by sending her subma
rines on a desperate campaign OF
destruction regardless OF measures
of caution heretofore taken in thu
safety of U-boats and their crews.

Waste Of Human Material.

forty-flve years or more should be q

shelved at forty.fve Is wrong. very
wrong. For a man to lose confidence
in himself because he Is forty-five or
thereabouts Is absurd.
The man who has been In the world
forty-five years has had vast amount
Of experience and has had the op-
portunity to observe much that could
be turned to good account. The trou-
BILE with us Is that we do not know
where to take our goods to market, or
at least we do not know the best mar
ket In which to dispose Of our goods.
There is a great waste Of human
material because Of Its displacement
We give more attention to the
salesmanship problem in relation to
goods than to the infinitely more i'm.
portant subject Of human material.-
