gallantry was displayed that Hawker
became world-famo,ls. He lost his

down. He would have made it safely
if a party of people hadn't appeared
right on the spot where he was aim

he was fatally injured. Hawker was

He wanted to go to the front, but his
government considered him of toe

PENALTY FOR NONCOMPLIANCE

Have you received notice from the
bureau of the census to report, if you
have any, the amount OF encumbrance
on your home? If you have, have you
answered it? Because if you haven't
you are liable to heavy fine, unless
you hustle and send the report in at
once.
The government asks the Star to
print the following:

''The census bureau is now in the
midst of an investigation to ascertain
the amount of the encumbrances on
homes. This inquiry is made in COM
pliance with the requirements of the

1919. 1t is desired to show the total
number of homes in each city that are
rented, the number that are owned
free of mortgage, the number that are
subject to mortgage Indebtedness and
Schedules of inquiry calling for this
| information have been sent to all of
the persons reported III your city as
owning homes subject>fo mortgage,
but unfortunately, large number of
the citizens have not replied to the

difference on their part is due to the
fact that they do not appreciate the
Importance of the statistics, and l
write to you in the hope that you will
give some publicity to the census in
quiry so more prompt attention will
be given to our communications.
81 enclose copy of the schedule
inquiry. Two requests have already
been sent to your citizens. A third
request is now about to be mailed. The
law providing for this inquiry con-
tains a penalty for refusal to furnish
the information. I believe that your
citizens will give more prompt atten-
ton to the inquiry if they are assured
that their replies will be treated as
strictly confidential and the figures
used only for the compilation of totals
similar to those contained in the
statement for the District of Column
bia.
