THE FOURTEENTH U. S. CENSUS.
viii Begin OIL January duty of Ev-
cry Person to Give All InfOrma-
tiOn Asked by Enumeration.

The fourteenth decennial census of
the United States win begin on Janu-
airy ., 1920, according to published
statements by the census bureau, and
the greater part of the necessary in
formation will be gathered by the great
army of enumerators within a period
of 80 days.
The census is the mean by which the
government ascertains the increase in
the population, the statistics concerning
agriculture, and the vital information
concerning the of the nation.
1t is required by the Constitution and
by an act of Congress to be taken ev-
cry ten years.
The enumeration of the population
during a census of the United y,aues
always presents numerous difficulties,
among them the apprehension on the
part of many people, particularly those
Of foreign birth or extraction, that
their answers to the enumerator's ques-
lions will cause increased taxation,
legal entanglements, or other conse-
quences injurious to their welfare. In
order to quiet such unfounded fears
and at the same time acquaint all per-
sons with the main questions included
in the census schedules, the bureau
has issued the following statement:
For Statistical Purposes Only.
The census inquiries are defined by
act of Congress. The information gath
cred is strictly confidential, made so by
law.
Census information can not under
any circumstances be used as n basis
for taxation, nor can it be used to harm
any person or his property.
1t has nothing whatever to do with
detection, arrest, prosecution, or punish
ment of any person for my violation
of any law.

Birds Have Riuht Of Way,

Fowl have the right of way in air,
warns the director of military aero
nautics. This is justice indeed, since
birds flew first.
But this is not all. Recently many
towns along the Atlantic coast have
been visited with dead bird showers.
Aviators flying by a town would see a
flock Of wild fowl coming their way.
They would set their machine guns
and let the bullets fly.
Presently a prominent citizen walk
ing below would be hit with a large
bloody bird. He complained to the
department Of agriculture. Then the
federal migratory bird law between
the United States and Great Britain
was referred to, and it was found that
shooting birds from airplanes is un-
lawful.
