HOLLYWOOD. June %. rne
yes men Of Hollywood are famous.
Only recently, since talkies brought
complicated problems that required
the advice Of uncompromising tech
nicians, have mo" men arisen To
speak their frowning negatives.
But Edward Phillips Lambert was
saying mo" to directors and prsduc-
ers is years ago-he is the original

Lambert was the first, probably.

known as technical advisers. al

cation. The movies then were lust

profound changes which have occurred
in social and economic affairs since the
close OF the World War.
The last decennial population census
In the United States. taken in 1920 was
completed In approximately two years.
Since then. the refinement of machine
methods OF tabulating the returns of the
field enumerators gives promise Of COM
pleting the 1880 census In less than two
years.
The ultimate aim is to complete the
work the same year the census is taken,
which, in the case of the 1880 enunlera-
ton, would be within nine months after
the work Is begun on April /. The In
ternational Institute expects to publish

Although population censuses have
been taken decennially In the United
States since 1890, the Census Bureau
as such has participated In only two
censuses to date, having been organ
lied III 1902. The first census. in 1890.
was taken by United States marshals,
who made their returns to the President.
Each marshal employed as many as

ton was to remove the home OF a
dead mans spirit, or to destroy his
ghost with the vigor of fire. Modern
cremation persists mainly on its sani-
tary qualities, but the legends of many
centuries enter into the practice.
Ernest Haeckel writes of an unusual
cremation ceremony on the Island OF
Ceylon, where only priests may share
the honor of being consumed by fire.
He remarks:
the funeral pyre was erected
near the principal temple. After the
body had been carried amid solemn
chanting through the village, a band
OF young Buddha priests hoisted 1t to
the top of the pyre, which was about
80 feet high. The four corners were
supported by cocoa palms, between
which was stretched q large white
canopy. After dirges prayers and
ceremonies, the pyre was lighted amidst
deafening roar of tom-toms. Several
thousand people watched the flames
with expectant interest, and when fire
seized and devoured the white canopy,
loud jubilant cry rose from every
throat--the priests soul had started its
flight for heaven. Now they in

for most of the night.
When Nimrod cast Abraham into the
fire for reproving idolatry, Abraham
came through the flames unhurt. Like
wise, Zoroaster was thrown on top OF
flaming pyre of wood, naphtha and
sulphur. yet the devouring flames be-

slumbered the pearl Of zoroaster."

WHEN fire was still difficult to make,
" people preserved 1t by carrying it
about. If man lost his red coal. it
might mean that whole tribe or ma
ton might have to do without heat. Or
an expedition might have to be sent to
a volcano and some daring hero risk

Thus In ancient Rome, the Vestal
Virgins were committed to the sacred
duty of preserving the national fire.
Severe penalties fell upon the heads OF
any who left their stations unattended.
The same custom seems to have arisen
in ancient Mexico. Legends say these
national fires never died for centuries.
In ways of preserving fire, man
showed his strange ingenuity. Ths
Cherokee Indians buried fire in the
ground and kept it indefinitely. Usu-
ally, the burning object was tindery

under the council house. The Natchez
and Greek Indians also used the fire
