The census takers must complete their work in the urban centerss in two weeks and in the rural con- munlties in one month.
 However, the job seems highly desirable, judging from the deluge Of applications, which seem all out of proportion to the pay received. On a per capita basis, this will yield the precinct enumerators from S70 to s120 for their work.
 There are however. a few real pIums-the jobs of 500 supervisors with a basic salary of s2.0O0 each plus additional compensation ac- cording to population and the num- Der of farms in each district. They will require stenographers and clerks. os
 Besides the large group of 100. 900 enumerators. who actually take the census, there will be approximately 1000 extra employees required in Washington. These will come from the civil service lists and some of them will have to work for three years compiling, correlating and ar- ranging the census figures and facts for statistical publication.
 The 100000 field workers will re- ceive about s10.5OO,0Q0. but other expenses will bring the total cost of the 19%0 census to approximately $40. 1000 .000.
 visit to the census bureau is enlightening. The place huns with highly perfected mechanical devices almost as intelligent as humans and decidedly more accurate.
 Your name and information is filed on punch cards, which are run through electrical tabulating ma- chimes to correlate facts. In the 1920 census 30o.0O000O cards were used. One machine can count 15,00o cards an hour -
 Your history can be struck of while you take a breath. but you could not read an item on your card as it is all in signs and sym bols and must be interpreted by an expert.
 The United States population to- day is 30 times as great as when the first federal census was taken in 179o. The first enumeration listed 4,0oo.ooo people; only six cities had as many as 5000 inhabi- tants.
 Today there are. 3,1o0 counties. 17,o00 incorporated cities borougfrs and villages, ranging in size from a mere handful of inhabitants to the great metropolis of New York, which has more than 5000. 900.
 Early Census Figures
 In a glass case in the census bureau are the yellowed volumes of the first census Of 179o. This re- corded only the names of the head of the family and the number of persons in the family
 The family of John Hancock, for example. was reported as compris- ing two white males over 16 years of age. three white females and seven free persons, not white. who were presumably negro servants.
 Beginning with the 1850 census. the name of each individual in the family was recorded and value of the estate shown-thus Daniel Web ster is listed from Marshfeld. Ply mouth Co.,. Mass, a senator. 6S years old and owning s125,Q0 worth of reel estate. Quite a for tune for that day,
 The 1860 census enumerated the family Of Abraham Lincoln, of Springfield, Ill, as consisting of Mr. Lincoln. his wife, Mary; his three sons, Robert T.. Willie W. and Thomas; a servant and a boy of IA. Philip DinlSell. Lincoln returned S12,o00 for his. personal property and $5,Q0O for his real estate.
