much thought to Spiritualism.

are many whose motives lack sin

IN CENSUS WORK
Sabbath No Day Of Res,
For Enumerators in
/ Capital.

Sunday was no day or rest for the
census takers, according to Robert
+. Mattingly- Supervisor of the Gen.
sus for the District of Columbia
: A large part of the force of 3S7
enumerators was busy yesterday pay
ing their fourteenth decennial visit to
the homes OF Washington. Snappy
weather makes snappy work, although
the zero breezes make the task OF the
enumerators somewhat chilly. and
numb fingers make writing difficult.
Rain and snow are the only bugaboos
that haunt the census officials.
Either element would slow up the
work of the enumerators. who are
now going at top speed.
+ A few Of the small districts are al
ready completed. according to DR..
Frank Nicely. of the Census Bureau.
These are the districts covering in
stitutions. such as hospitals, asylums.
etc. In these districts the work of the
enumerator is simplifed to a great
extent, as the register of the institu-
ton furnishes a large part OF the in
formation required.

What is a reasonable time to visit
a home?" was the question asked Mr..
AIattingly by one of his Chinese
enumerators. The enumerator ex-
blamed that ne had called at one
house at us and again at s:45 in the
evening to be told each time that it
was unreasonable to be expected to
answer questions at that time OF
night Mr.. Mattincly suggested that
he try again on Sunday to find a
Reasonable time for the interview.
One third of the little army of

work.

land they display an enthusiasm in
their task that is to be commended"
The first census figures will prob
ably be made public the latter part
OF February. The population of large
cities will comprise the first big class
of figures. and Washington will. of
course. be included IN the list.
AS the results are given out in the
order in which they are returned. it
is very likely that Washington will
be near the top of the list, 4 not at
the top.
States. counties and smaller civil
divisions will comprise the second big
class of figures. which will be given
out in sections. beginning probably in
March
The third group of figures will con-
sist of national population These
will be followed by announcement OF
AGRICULTURAL resources. Figures on
mineral resources will be released in
May, while statistics on manufac-
lures will be given out probably in
August or September.
