FIRST FIGURES OF POPULATION DATA
 BY MIDSUMMER
Total for Whole Country Probably Cannot Be An nOunced Before Sep
 tember or October
By AssoeIatsd Press

Washington, January 23.-Announce- ment of the population of practically all cities of the country by May or June and the total population of the entire coun- try in September or October is the ex- pectation of the director of the census, Sam l.. Rogers.
 Population statistics Of some of the cit- ies probably will be completed by March or earlier Washington, D. C., is expected to be the first, as it was in the thr- teenth census in 1910 In that year it was taken April 15 and announced June N- Rhode Islands population in 1910 was announced first of the states on July 21. New York citys population was an- nounced September ?, Boston's September IA and Chicagos September IS.
 The center of population, Bloomington. Ind, was announced July r, and the country's total population was made pub lie December 10.
 The enumeration is in progress throughout the entire country, said MT. Rogers today. 'Advices from the super visors indicate that during the first week of the work at least 70,O0O enumerators were started.
 We find that in some districts it will be necessary to postpone the enumeration because of weather conditions. There has been no opposition to furnishing the in- formation requested by the enumerators.
  of the enumeration in many districts, and as rapidly as the enumerators turn in tEeir portfolios they are being examined in the office of the supervisor and are ! being put in shape to come to Wash ington. The supervisors have been in structed to send the schedules as rap- idly as consignments can be made ready. We therefore naturally expect a large amount of the work to reach the office in Washington during the latter part of this month or the first of February. but as a general rule the enumeration will be completed throughout the entire coun- try by the first of February It will be some time, however, before it will be finished in the districts where it has been postponed on aeco unt of climatic conditions.
 We are now organizing a force of clerks who will be equipped to examine the schedules as rapidly as they are re- ceived from the supervisors. These clerks will make a preliminary count of the population. This preliminary count will he made public as rapidly as the totals for the cities and the minor civil divi- sions are obtained. The population of the cities will be announced first We hope that the total population of the country will be known in September or October of this year, and the population of the cities should be all announced by May or June"

this important matter should be so clearly sustained by the official as we'll as by the organized business judgment of the county as to leave no opportunity for hesitation in approving the bonds or for doubt or criticism as to the administra- ton of the proceeds. For that reason if fould be our purpose to be guided as above set forth by the unanimous ex- pression of your views on these matters as representing the sound judgment of the business and financial interests of the ccmunity, which we would not feel justi- fled in ignoring in any matter of such primary public interest

TAKING OF CENSUS
 NOT YET COMPLETE
Work of Enumerat0rs Is Being Checked Up and
 Returns Are Promising

Although the taking of the 1920 census was started four weeks ago, the work has not yet been completed in Birmingham as several enumerators are still gathering the names of per sons missed. The records in all dis tricts completed are being checked by the inspectors, as are the records of Bessemer and Fairfield. which have been completed
 Several enumerators in the county have completed their respective dis tricts and have turned their books in
 While it has been stated that the people of Birmingham will be we'll pleased with the population of this city. grave fears are felt that a large portion of the negro population will be missed and all persons are urgently requested to ascertain if their servants have been enumerated Men employing a large number of laoorers can be of great assistance in gettinG a complete and accurate enumeration by seeing that all persons employed by them are { listed in the 1920 census it is pointed out by the citizens committee.
 The various civic organizations, as well as the committees from the clubs of the city, are assisting George M Cruikshank, supervisor of census, in every way possible to have the fed eral census of Birmingham complete )and accurate and it was through the Z efforts of this commsttee that two telephones were placed in the census office in the federal building. If any person has been missed by the enumer- ators, they are urged to call Census and give the information in.
 When the work is declared com pleted in the city by Mir Cruikshank the citizens committee will be assigned to several districts 10 check up the work of the enumePators.

WHY Indian Is Honored.

On a hlllock overlooking the town
OF RobbInsville. the county seat OF
Graham, one Of the southwestern coun-
ties of North Carolina. is to be erect
ed memorial to the Cherokee Indian
warrior Junaluska, II tried, but
failed" Junaluska was always re-
ferrred TO by the early white settlers
as the "friendly Indian" He was born
in the mountains of Cherokee county,
North Carolina, In 1858. At the battle
OF Horse Shoe Bend, Gen. Andrew
Jackson with his white troops had the
Greek Indians hemmed In at the bend
of the river. Junaluska, who had pre-
viously attached himself to Jackson's
forces, intuitively grasped the situa-
ton and swan the river and cut
loose the Creeks canoes. Being I'M
able to escape In their boats, the hos
tile Indians were surrounded by Jack
sons men and decisiyely beaten. In
recognition Of Junaluska's exploit and
signal assistance to the white men, the
movement to place this memorial on
the Graham county hillside has been
undertaken.

Chinese students Of both sexes are

Of 1000 10 600 year during the

TO the fact that the Chinese are no

the war and the Chinese feeling over

Tor their choice. Of France Is that the
United States imposes restrictions up

Very often 1t is only that the auto

chains to put them on that causes him

A little practice, however, will make

The best way is to lay the chains
over the wheel with the hook part

end snugly underneath the wheel in

Proved He Knew His Business.

French Str0ther, in the Worlds
Work, tells the following anecdote
about Count Witte, the former Rus
sian premier. Once while Count Witte
was traffic manager of the Russian
Southwestern railroad. he got orders
10 route the cars special train over
his line, and was instructed to get 1t
from one end Of II TO the other in a
prescribed time. Witte promptly in
formed the court official that the czar
might be In such a hurry as he pleased
but the speed he demanded was too
great for safety, and please inform the
car that he would not run his train
that fast. There were some sharp in
terchanges of kilograms but White had
his way-and the imperial minister of
railways looked up the record of this
decisive young man who knew his
business. The result was that Witte
soon left the railroad TO enter the
ministry of railways as Its chief expert
on tariff making, and in a few years
he became minister himself.

BY WILLIAM A.. RADFORD.

questions and give advice FREE OF

subject OF building. for the readers OF this
paper: On account of his wide experience

To many people the most important
considerations in the building of a
home are substantial construction and
comfort within. They are not keen
about a p%retentiOus exterior or some
freakish design which will attract at
tention. Rather, they prefer a house
of modest and popular lines, plain in
design, but radiating a feature of good
Old-fashiOned comfort. Too often in
h construction of a house these fun
damental features are overshadOwed
by the demands of a faddish age and
as a result the finished structure is
far from attractive and In many cases
not at all comfortable or conveniently
arranged.
These faults certainly cannot be
found In the substantial, modest yet
pleasing home shown here. While 1t
is attractive, one of the more essen
tial features of a real home have been
sacrificed to gain this effect. 1t is n
