The work of taking the federal census is being pushed to completion rapidly and with the exception of between F and l5 districts, in which the enumerators have not yet finished their work. only gathering up the frazzled and ragged ends remains to be done, according to George M Cruikshank, census super visor. Every effort is being made to have this work completed at the earliest date. but the investigation into the nu- mero1s complaints received will require some little time.
 Complaints continue to come in at the Civic Association by persons who say they have not yet been enumerated, and these names are taken and are turned over to Mir. Cruikshank, where the rec ords of the various enumerators i'll whose territory the complainant lives are checked In the majority of cases it has been found that these people have been taken some member of their respective families having given the enumerator the ir- ir-formation. according to Joseph Green lee. census inspector from Washington.

We must have the cooperation of the people, and T don't think we have had very many cases of this kind Before the records are completed we will have enumerated every man, woman and child in thls clty' for the enumerators are required to ac- count for every house and vacant lot in their districts.
 "Even after the enumerators finish their work the records will be kept in my of- fice for correction for month before tbev are sent to Washington. There are a large number of ragged edges to round m. and it is probable that several days will be required for this work however we will rush it as fast as possloie.
 The reports of the enumerators show the congested condition of this city, and ;t ;s stated that there are two families in the majority of the homes and in many of them more.

HERBERT HOOVER ASKS MARYLAND
TO SAVE 100000 STARVING (,
: CHILDREN IN EUROPE
He Appeals for Great "National Collection" of
$33,OOO,oOo Beginning on Sunday, December 10Th,
to Feed Them Until the Next Harvest Brings
Relief. He knows Maryland will Respond.

Herbert Hoover asks Maryland
to help save $4,000 starving
children in Eastern and Central
Europe. Unless help is given at
once, he declares, they will die.
In an appeal to representative
men and women Of the State Her
Der Hoover, head Of the Belgian
Relief Commission, Food Com
missioner during the war and
head OF the American Relief Ad-
ministration, asks them to organ
ize the State SO that every man,
woman and child in Maryland is
given an opportunity to help save
these children. A total OF $685.
100000 will be required.
His appeal met a ready re-
Spouse here. The very day his
kilograms, which were backed by
the European Relief Council,
which is composed Of the eight
great war relief organizations Of
America, were received, imme-
date steps were taken to start
the machinery in motion to or
ganize Baltimore and each OF the
counties. Great speed was pos
sible owing to the fact that the
various city and county organlza-
tons, which did such splendid
work during the war, were at
once recalled into service.
Though the appeal was receiv-
ed only three days before going
to press considerable progress
has already been made. 1t is
certain that Maryland will SUR
pass her generous-hearted gifts
OF the past to suffering humanity.
Mr.. Hoover's call has brought
into service again men and
women who bore the brunt OF the
home work during the war.
George S. Jackson, who was as
ISOLATED with him in the Food
Commission and who later spent
year in under him in relief
work in Europe, and William H.
Maltbie, Food Commissioner for
Maryland, were called to the COL
ors by the American Relief Ad-
ministration, and Walter B.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1920-12-17

Brooks, who did such great work
for the Red Cross responded to
its call. William H. Morriss was
summoned by the Y. M. c. A..
Mrs. George S. Jackson by the
Y. w. c. A. and William S. Au.
men by the Knights OF Column
bus; Julius Levy and Jacob
Epstein answered to the appeal
OF the Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee. Robert Garrett and
DR.. L. w. McCreary got into
harness for the Federal Council
Of Churches and Richard L. Cary,
who has but recently returned
from relief work for German
babies, responded as the rep
resentative Of the American
Friends Service Commission.
These men were appointed by the
eight organizations which COM
pose the European Relief Coun-
Gil to serve as the nucleus OF the
Maryland State Committee.
At their first meeting call went
to the leaders and workers in the
eight organizations in Baltimore
and each OF the counties to at
once mobilize for service. The
I response was prompt and prac-
tically unanimous.
Plans have been launched for
great National Collection" to
begin on Sunday, December 10Th,
and to continue throughout the
holidays. The time in Maryland
is short, but it is believed that the
urgency OF the need will speed
things up enough to enable the
Churches to do their part on next
Sunday. 1t is realized that cry
to save suffering children is par
ticularly appropriate at the
Christmas season and that any
delay might hurt the fund. AS
Mr.. Hoover points out, this ap-
peal admits no delay. The money
must begin coming in at once OF
the children will die.
Frederick G. Boyce, Mercantile
Trust and Deposit Co., has been
appointed treasurer for Maryland.
