BEST SERVICE SO FAR.

One transportation system in a city is
enough, provided it meets the needs OF
those who must travel every day.
San Juan is handicapped at present
because the street car service is not
rapid enough to carry all those who
want to ride.
With a double tracked system, the
street cars operating over a reserved
right-of-way, there will be the rapid
service required to satisfy the 25,Ooo
people, or more who use some means
of transportation every day.
Street car service, well regulated to
meet the public's needs, has proven to
be the best and most satisfactory
means of city transportation yet dew
eroped.

The decision that IA per cent.
of alcohold be considered the
dead line by the military autho-
rites is understood to have been
based on an opinion by the army
medical experts that this would
intoxicate the average healthy
soldier if sufficient quantity of
the beverage we're imbibed.
Under Food Administration
regulations, one-half of per
cent. alcohol made a beverage
officially Intoxicating. This STAN
dard has been adopted in many
States, although in some as
much rs 2 per cent. is allowed.

Washington, D. c., March II,
1919.-The Act providing for
the Fourteenth and subsequent
decennial censuses was signed
by the President on March 3.
The enumeration, which will be
made in January, 1920, is now
less than ten months distant;
and the Census Bureau already
has under consideration the Sc
lection and appointment of not
to exceed 400 supervisors who
will have charge of the 10000
enumerators. The supervisors
districts will, in most cases, eX-
cept in the large cities, have
the same boundaries as the Con-
gressional districts. The super
visors, under the law, are to be
appointed by the Secretary of
Commerce upon the recommen-
dation of the Director of the
Census.
The following Instructions
have been given by the Secreta-
nv of Commerce to the Director
of the Census in regard to the
procedure to be followed in
making selections and appoint
ments of census supervisors:
Conforming to the assuran-
ces given the President in my
letter to him of March 3rd, you
will please be guided by the foil
owing instructions respecting
appointments to the post of SUI
pervisor in connection with the
taking of the Fourteenth Census
of the United States:
"a test examination, of which

a record will be kept, is to be
required for appointment TO the
post of. supervisor. In addition
to this, a careful personal in
quiry is to be separately made
respecting the qualifications Of
each candidate. Of this inquiry,
also, a record will be kept.
'Jn making appointments
from those who shall have pass
ed the test examination and the
separate inquiry as 10 qualifica-
tions, preference isto be given
to those candidates who have
had executive, administrative,
statistical, or accounting expe-
rience and to those who have
had charge of bodies of men as
administrators, provided in all
cases that men with the expe-
rience stated possess the other
qualifications necessary.
"You will arrange to give no.
tice to the above effect to every
candidate applying for appoint
ment and to his sponsors, and
no candidates are to be selected
for appointment who do not
pass both the test examination
and the personal inquiry.
"You are requested to ask the
Civil Service Commission to pre-
pare the blanks for the test exa-
mination or to cooperate with
you in the preparation of them.
You will welcome the assistance
of the Civil Service Commission
in this and in any other respect
in which they can be helpful to
you.
"It is my earnest desire, as l

know it is your own, that this
census shall be an example in it's
quality, as well as in it's prompt
ness. l need hardly say that
neither result can be had unless
the supervisors are selected with
special care to their individual
fitness for their task. | am de-
pending on you as the RESPONSE
BILE officer in immediate charge
of the work to see that every
precaution is taken to achieve
this result. In particular, the
appearance as we'll as the fact
of political patronage are to be
avoided and fitness for the work
to be done will be the controlling
factor in the appointments
The Director of the Census
has already taken steps to carry
out the instructions of the Se-
cretary.
The supervisors duties will
occupy their time for the grea-
ter part of a year, beginning
about July /, 1919. Their COM
pensation will be $1,000, plus
81 for each thousand or major
4 fraction of . thousand of popu-
lation enumerated. The total
compensation in an average-si-
zed district, outside a large city,
will therefore be between $1,7OO
and 81 300. Clerk hire and other
necessary expenses will be paid
be paid by the Government.
All candidates for supervi-
sorships should address their
applications to the Director of
the Census, Washington, D. c..
