WILL BE COMPLETE,
 STATES CRTIKSHANK

There is no need for any anxiety On the part of the citizens," said Mir. Cruik- shank yesterday afternoow, -ror the work is not completed and the enumerators are still taking the censcs at the rate Of 1900 a day, and won't finish before Thursday evening. From the reports received at my office the 1920 census will be the most accurate and complete in the history of Birmingham
 We have received several comp1aN $ from men stating they had not been seen by the enumerators, but the records in our office show that someone at their homes was seen by the enumerators and their names. have been turned in. Two men who took the census 10 and 20 years ago stated that there was always a large number of complaints, and during five persons were missed on investigation. Up to the present time only four or five complaints have been turned in at this of- fee.
 'srhe enumerators are not paid by the day, but cents per capita, and they are as anxious to get everybody as everyone is to be listed in the census, so I feel sure they are covering their respective districts fully. Where the enumerator calls at house and there Is ne one there who can give her the desired infor- nation about others living in the same house, cards are left to be filled out, and they will be called for later. In some cases the people do not fill out the cards and leave them for the enur1erator or turn them in at this office, and it is mot urgent that this be done immediately, for it will be necessary for them to reach my office by Thursday night.
 t'On1y 16 of the 10S districts have been completed. and all of the larger districts in the city are being divided and addi- tional enumerators put on in order that the work may be completed by Thursday. Tn my opinion there is no need for alarm as everybody in Birmingham will be seen by the enumerators before the work is completed" (

COMMITTEE WILL
 REQUEST NEW CENSUS

Apprehensive that the enumerators would not see everybody before the time limit committee was appointed as fol- lows: Charles R. West, chairmaa Ray Schultz, Carl Wittichen and JohM Yeat- man, to look into the matter. A meet ing was held last night at the court house with all members present except Mir. Yeatman, and it was the opinion of the committee that unless the enuem- orators completed the census giving Sir mingham due credit, it will be up to the civic bodies of Birmingham to request q new census.
 MT. Wittichen stated that he had asked an office force of II men if the enum- orators had called at their homes and they all said they had not. One man who has lived in Birmingham for many years stated that he had not been seen by enumerators in taking the census the last two times.
 It was pointed out that it was almost impossible to complete the work in the office buildings in the time left, and the committee is most anxious to see Bir- mingham get the proper rating that they urge every citizen who has not seen an enumeratqr to- notify George M. Cruik shank, supervisor of census, on the fourth floor of the federal building.
 The members of the committee stated they were not antagonistic to MT. Cruz shank, but wanted to help him in all ways. The meeting adjourned until 9.39 clock this morning, when they will again meet in the office of the superin- tendent of education at the courthouse

OUTPUT OF CARS WILL
DEMAND LOTS OF TIRES

with 1872 factories producing over
400 different styles and models of
cars. there Is q greater demand for
rubber for use in automobile tires than
ever before in the history of the auto
motive industry. To provide these
cars with tires will mean the importa-
ton Of from 110, 900 to 100000 tons of
rubber, 10 per cent of which will he
made into 40,O00.00O castings and an
equal number OF tubes.
''The enormity OF the automobile
industry has been emphasized at the
great automobile shows in the various
centers throughout the country this
year as never before since the first
successful automobile was produced a
quarter of a century ago.
There are not enough looms in the
country to weave the fabric necessary
for making the 10000, 900 tires needed
this year. weavers are adding to their
loom equipment, but 1t Is doubtful IL
they will be able to make a sufficient
increase to produce enough fabric.

before the year is much older there is
likely to be tire shortage, as result

recently before a group of executives

at Syracuse.
when production catches up to de-
mand. as is sure to happen before
long said Mr.. Parlin. "it will be
cause of the survival of the fittest.
Drawing a conclusion from the agri-
cultural implement field in which late
years has witnessed great reduction in
the number of firms engaged while
business done has increased many
times, Mr.. Parlin voiced the opinion
that ultimately there would not be
more than 25 automobile manufac-
tureres in the United States"
Analyzing the various qualifications
which would insure permanency in
tho field. he stressed the Importance
OF organization LOYALTY and high ideals
in Workmanship. VI
although the sales and advertising
departments are more in the public
eye perhaps than the production end
of a business" said he, ito my mind
the men who are actually building a
car are charged with the real respon-
sibility upon which rests the future
success of the company. There is one
thing advertising will not dot will

iod of retrenchement does come, the
manufacturer who has built something
into his car that the other fellow
hasn't, who has has built a quality

the public generally will not suffer-"
Mr.. Parlin called attention to the
stabilizing effect that advertising has
had on the automotive field. making
the selling of automobiles an all year
round proposition, whereas only a
comparatively short times ago prac-
tically all sales were confined to the
spring and fall months. This has en-
abled tho manufacturer" said Mr..

FAIR OFFICERS
TO Be CHOSEN
Executive Board Will Meet Ut City
Hall Jan. IA, to Make First
Plans for Fair.

Interest in the 67th annual Mer-
Ger county fair is being aroused to
a considerable extent by the notice
that the fair board will convene on
Jan. II, at the office Of the city
hall. Appointment Of a general su-
perintendent, superintendent Of
speed, and chief Of police will take
place at this meeting.
Guy Van Alta. last years super
intendent, has stated that he will
not accept the honor again this year,
but it is thought among his friends
that they will succeed in changing
his mind in the event that he is
chosen by the committee. W. c.
Dilley served in the capacity Of SUI
perintendent of speed in 1919, and
his work was so efficiently taken
care of that it is thought that he
will be reappointed for the fair this
year.
Plans being laid for the 1920
Mercer county fair indicate that
this will be the best Of all that have
yet been held in this county. Ev-
cry precaution will be taken to in
sure the success of the venture and
if the weather can be prevailed
upon to act different than it did last
year, Mercer county will bid fair
to claim the best fair in the state

HIGH SCHOOL WILL
OFFER COURSE IN
GAS ENGINE WORK

A new course in gas engine build
ing will be offered in the manual
arts section of the high school the
coming semester. beginning Jan.
10. II will constitute the third
year shop course. and it is hoped
that fourth year course as a con-
tinuation OF this years work can
be offered in the next school year
The course will consist of the
building of two-cycle three
fours horsepower gas engine. The
work will be under the direction of
a. w. James, principal. The first
six weeks will be taken up with
the drawing of the parts of the en-
CINE. followed by six weeks in the
pattern shop, where students will
make models in wood.
The latter part of the course will
be spent in the foundry where cast
ings will be made from patterns.
This will provide for the opening
of the foundry. which has not been
in use for three years.
1t is thought that by next year,
engine lathes will have been Sc
cured for the machining and finish
ing Of the parts.
Those eligible for the course Of
fered in the coming semester will
,be students already having con-
pleted two years OF shop work.
Mr.. James states that many kill
probably enroll Tor the new work,
as a similar third year shop course
has not ben offered for several
years.

Mrs. Mary Harker Dies AT Moline
City Hospital 1t 1880 O'Clock
This Morning.

Mrs. Mary Harker, IS years OF
age, died at the Moline city hospital
at 1920 o'clock this morning as tho
result OF burns which she received
early yesterday morning when her
clothing caught fire. She was pre-
pairing breakfast at the time at the
Geer hotel, Silvis. She had been
employed at the hotel for over a

the blaze on a gas range. She was
burned about the body.
A son, William. arrived this
morning to take charge Of the body,
which will be taken to Chicago for
intsrment. Mrs. Harker formerly
lived in Chicago. She was a
widow.
