unlucky number thirteen, are Impress

English ports and airships and airplanes

Ing the census gives them little oppor-
tunity of meeting the requirements in
this respect.
Under the British law a census is
merely count Of the population at
given moment. II any Englishman Is
temporarily absent from the country at
that given moment. there is no need for
him to fill in the census form.
All passengers aboard vessels in Eng
lish waters Sunday night will have to
be included In the census, but vessels
leaving these ports to-day will not be
troubled to fill in the forms. Crews of
fishing vessels plying along the coasts
will be difficult to get hold Of, but the
enumerators have been sending out CEN
sus forms with these vessels and will
collect them when the vessels return to
port. Passengers entering England
aboard steamships to-day must be
counted. Also WIFI this be true Of the
crew of the dirigible R-S6 If she comes
overhead, as she has been coming every
day this week for the Ascot races. Air
planes coming from and going to France
daily must be caught and their passen-
gers and crews counted quickly, because
once outside the British Isles they can
not be annoyed In this regard. Old
timers in the taking OF the census say
this form of travel opens UP a dreadful
prospect for them in their future work,
for with the growth Of aerial traffhc
they think that in another ten years they
will need fast scout airplanes in order
to chase these hiers and make them
eign the census returns or else will have
to drive them out Of British air until
the count Is finished.
The first British census was taken in
years since then. Statisticians are look
ing forward to the returns of this census
with unusual interest, wondering what
the war has really done to the British
Isles. They believe the population has
grown appreciably. despite war losses.

by the war.
