D. c. SPINSTERS COY
ABOUT THEIR AGE
Census Takers Find 451 Who
Refuse to Give Desired
Information.

Women dislike to tell their ages.
Among the unmarried women of
the District of Columbia 451 refused
to tell their ages to the census
taker, according to figures given out
yesterday by the Department of
Commerce. Only 276 bachelors re-
fused to give their age.
Married women evidently do not
care so much. because there are just
about as many women as men of
unknown age in the married class.
Women are generally in the ma
jority-at least there are more
spinsters than bachelors. more
widows than widowers. more di-
vorcees than divorced men. more
women than men-but. strange to
say, there are more married men
than married women.
OF the 437.571 people in Washing

more married people than unmar-
ried. both men and women. The
percentage married men is
greater than married women, the
figures being 55.S to a..

OLD MANS DEATH
REVEALS MYSTERY
Documents and Photographs
Cause Belief He Was of
Noble Birth.

NEW YORK, July 19.-The death
| OF an eccentric old man known a,
Edward Euston in an attic room on
the Brooklyn waterfront has re-
vealed romantic mystery which
Is believed to involve a member of
the family of the Duke of Grafton
which traces its lineage back to the
reign of Charles II.
Several days ago the body of Eus-
ton was found in his tiny room In a
kneeiing position, the hands clasped
as If in final prayer. In the room
were found two photographs a Ma
sonic apron and a modest insurance
policy.
For years Euston worked at odd
Jobs along the water front, where
his dignified. almost courtly, bear
ing distinguished him from the
stevedores among whom he toiled.
The belief that he may be of noble
birth, member of the illustrious
British family, is given weight by
two photographs and documents
found in his room. One of these
photographs was captioned The Earl
of Euston' and bore a close resem-
blance to the dead man.
The strange case is in the hands
of the missing persons bureau of
the New York police department
which will communicate with Lon
don through the British consulate.
