WASHINGTON, July 2s-(Associa.
ted Press s)-American government Off
cials arc interested in the announcement
from Lima that Peru has ordered a
census to be taken next year. Stats
tics Of population and industries in
South America are vague and unreha-

been taken in some of the countries
for many years.
According to information received
here the 1919 ceusus will be fairly
complete and based to great extent
upon the recent census of the United
States, although the classiHcations will
not include as many items as have been

Thought Cakes tainted.

Virginia loved to help her mother.
One day her mother was making
special effort to bake prize cake for
the church fair and Virginia was all
interest. The cake rose beautifully
and appeared to be thoroughly done,
but when removed from the stove it
fell fiat and had sad streak through
the center. Another cake was immedi-
ately mixed in haste and little Vir-
ginia's eyes grew large as she listened
to her mother lamenting over the first
sad cake that had fallen. The second
baking proved the same as the first,
but the third attempt resulted in
veritable triumph. Virginia, however,
could not rally from the mornings

she exclaimed in great excitement:

infallible ear and sang squarely in
tune. But when she spoke it sounded
like someone who didn't know how,
trying to play the slide trombone. She
was simply deaf, it seemed, to the
subtleties Of infection.
Daily, she reduced Galbraith to help
less wrath. Evidently he didn't mean
to be a brute about it. He began ev-
cry one Of his tussles to improve her
reading Of line with gentleness
that would have done credit to a kim
dergartener. But after three attempts,
each more ominously gentle than the
last, his temper would suddenly fly all
to pieces.
The girl, queerly, didn't seem to
care. But in the dressing room one
night, after one Of these rehearsals,
Rose got a different view. AS she sat
down on a bench to unlace her shoes,
she looked straight into Edna Lar
sons face-a face sunken with a
despair that turned Rose cold. The
fearless, tragic eyes were staring,
without recognition, straight into
Roses own.
Rose delayed her dressing till the
other girls were gone, then sat down
beside Edna.

very inadequate. "Im going to help

cts always like this" the girl said.
"It's no use. He'll put me back in, the
chorus again."
"Not If I can help it," Rose said.
"But the first thing to do is to come
along and get something to eat"
During the next hour Rose learned,
for the first time, what the weight Of
an immense melancholy inertia can be.
The girl was like one paralyzed-
paralyzed by repeated failures and
disasters, Of which she told Rose
freely. When Galbraith had put her
into the sextette, a hope, just about
dead, had been reawakened. She'd
learned to dance well enough to es-
cape censure, and she'd seen for her.

voice was to the sextette. And then
it had appeared she'd have to talk

story was told. (This was across the
table in a dingy little lunch room.)
you're going to say your lines before
tomorrow's rehearsal so that Galbraith
won't stop you once. We're going to
my room now, and I'm going to teach
you. Come along"
In sort of daze, the girl went.
Rose put her into a chair, sat down
| opposite her, took the first phrase Of
her first speech, and said it very slow
ly, very quietly, half dozen times.
That was at half-past eleven o'clock
at night. BY midnight, Edna could say

straight through the night, except that
two or three times the girl broke

something very different from pranc-
ing chorus girl. The others giggled
and exchanged glances with Dave at
the piano. They didn't understand.
To them, the compliment seemed to
have been delivered with the left
hand. And somehow, an amused rec
ognition of the fact that they didn't
understand, as well as Of the fact that
she did, flashed across from John
Galbraith's eyes to hers.

thing amusing about this-something
out of the regular routine. A little
knot of chorus girls halted in the act
of going out the wide doors, and stood
watching. Was it just a hoax? The
suppressed, unnatural silence sounded
like it. But at what John Galbraith
did, one of the bystanders guffawed
outright.
1t wasn't pretty, the dance step he
executed-a sort Of stiff-legged skip
accompanied by vulgar hip wriggle
and concluding with a straight-out
sidewise kick. A sick disgust clutched
at Rose as she watched-an utter re-
vulsion from the whole loathly busi-
ness.
"Well?" he asked, turning to her as
he finished. He wasn't smiling at all.
I'm not dressed to do that" she
said.
II know you're not" he admitted
coolly; "but it can be done. Pick up
your skirts and do it as you are-if
you really want job"
There was just a faint edge of con-
tempt in that last phrase and, merci-
fully, it reused her anger. A blaze
kindled in her blue eyes, and two spots
of vivid color defined themselves in
her cheeks.
She caught up her skirts as he had
told her to do, executed without COM
promise the stiff-legged skip and the
wriggle, and finished with a horizon
tai, sidewise kick that matched his

tie, she stood looking straight into
his face.
Galbraith was staring at her with a
look which expressed, at first, clear
astonishment, but gradually complicat-
ed itself with other emotions-con-
fusion, a CLINT of whimsical amuse-
ment. That CLEAN, perfectly honest,
kindly one, decided Rose to take him
