POLICE HERE BEGIN
BIENNIAL CENSUS
Enumeration Is Expected to
Show a Population of
Half Million.

The biennial police census of Wash
ington began today. Members of the
force from the several precinct sta
tons covering the entire District OF
Columbia have been assigned to take
enumeration. The enumerators Will
probably complete the census within
the next two or three weeks.
The police census concerns itself
ony With the age
and does not go into detail that the
United States census does. The pur-
pose of the police census Is to deter
mine the total population OF the city,
showing the white and colored pro-
portion.
Rate Of Increase.
The last biennial census was taken
in 1917. when it was shown that
Washington had a total population of
395,947, of which 293,329 were whites
and 102.6ts colored. The United
States census taken in 1910 gave
Washington a population OF 332.175.
This compared with the police census
taken seven years later indicates that
between 1910 and 1917 the population
Of the city increased ss.772. This
ratio of increase of something over
5000 in population annually Is greater
than the annual estimated increase
Of the United States census bureau.
which places the figures at ap-
proximately 5000. The police estimate
Of an annual increase under normal
conditions for this city is 5000.
Census Bureaus Figures.
At the census bureau today it was
stated that by q special estimated
census of the city made recently. the
population of Washington was fixed at
401,681 The estimate is based upon
the last police census, the annual esti-
mated increase and those conditions Of
abnormal influx of population that
brought to the city the large number
of war workers, many Of whom are yet
in the city.
During the height of the war activi-
ties 1t was estimated that there were
in Washington between 10000 and
175,000 war workers. which, added to
the 395.947 population shown in the
police census Of 1917, would give the
city under the biennial police census
now being taken something over half a
million people.

sorely tried the poor brain Of Jocko. the

1t was the morning after the end of

the inquistive onlookers.
