standards for working children.
Children who begin work between
the ages of fourteen and eighteen, and
in many instances as early as twelve,
or even younger, are the children of
least resistance in the community"
says a statement issued by the bureau.
They are in general the children
of the poor and in consequence are
likely to be the ill-nourished, the
understood and the anemic. Already
handicapped. their growing bodies can
put up no resistance to the eXacting
demands of industry on muscle and
nerves.
The committee appointed by the
chiIdren's bureau will attempt to
correct these conditions. The COM
mittee consists of DR.. George +.

Wood Alcohol

On New Year day made this
pledge, concerning which l do
not hedge: "While I infest this
mundane bali, I will not drink
wood alcohol" When | am
thirsty I may drink a quart or
two of purple ink, and | won't
draw the line, | ween, at foam
ing mugs of kerosene; a man
may swig such harmless drinks
and not accumulate a jinx; but
since l wish to live a while, and
kick around and sing and smile,
and dodge the shroud and bier
and pail, I will not sip wood
alcohol. Strong vinegar is not
so bad, and it's for sale in every
grad; and liquid bluing hits the
spot when one is worn and tired
and hot; and one can lay wood
ashes by, and make lot OF
wholesome lye; there are a
hundred tempting drinks which
should appeal to thirsty ginks,
and yet, poor simps, they weak
ly fall for noxious stove-wood
alcohol. And then the hearse
goes up the road, and takes them
to their last abode, and folks
along the right of way exclaim,
alas! Alackaday! Now see
what prohibition means! It's
spilled our everlasting beans!
The law has shut off gin and rye,
and every day its victims die! !"

D. c. CENSUS WORK
ABOUT COMPLETED
Enumerators Expected to
File Their Final Returns by
Tomorrow Night.

With the possible exception of a
few scattered names, the taking of
the fourteenth decennial census in
the District of Columbia will be COM
pleted by tomorrow night. Robert f.
Mattingly. supervisor of the census
for the District. announced today.
Mr. Mattingly has been Ill at his
home. but was back at work today.
and said the work has SO far adj
vanced he could foresee the end by
tomorrow night.
Ready TO Check Up Returns.
There are a few more than 900
completed from the District port
folioS, each representing census
district, in the hands OF George f.
Wetzel, in charge of population. The
others. totaling slightly more than
fifty, will be turned over to Mr.:
Wetzel by tomorrow night. In all
probability. Mr. Mattingly said. the
bulk of these viii. be completed by
tonight and tomorrow will be oc-
cupied in checking up the final re-
turns.
Some difficulty has been expert
enced. Mr.. Mattingly said today. in
government clerks returning indi-
vidual census slips without giving
their places of permanent abode. Emu
merators have been busy for several
days past in telephoning the gov
eminent departments TO Iiliu put
where these persons live. There
have been dozens of these cases. Mr..
Mattingly said.
Progress in Other Cities
William NJ Steuart. assistant di-
rector of the census, announced to-
day that while many cities of more
than $4,000 population have been send
ing in portfolios and boxes of port
foIioS in compliance with an order
asking for expedition of returns. no
city has completed its enumeration.
He said the present situation war
rants the belief that Washington will
be the first city to complete it's CEN
sus returns and will be the first city
of which a complete population tab
ulation will be announced.
ID. {. Population Estimated.
Census officials in statement issued
last year estimated the probable pop
ulation of Washington at 319.SS6 on
July 1, 1919. The recent police CEN
sus showed the city TO have total
population of 455,52S. Census officials
believe this count TOO high by about
10000 because. they claim. in the po-
lice census no account was taken of
the transient residents of the city
who, under the official government
census, are enumerated elsewhere.
