CHAPTER XXXV

Kent was In MS room redQlng.
When he heard Vivian's frightened
voice calling him, he ran down.
stairs.
His conscience hurt him when he
saw her white face. He should have
stayed with her all evening after
the funeral, instead of reading in
his room.
She was ashamed to tell him she
was afraid of the storm. When she
told him what she had heard on
the radio: Cyclone heading west"
he ran outside and looked at the
sky. She could see that he was ex-
cited when he came back in, but
tried to hide it.
We'll" he laughed, "I've never
gone to the cave In my life. But
if you will feel safer, We'll CO."
She called Celeste, and they got
coats and ran to the storm cellar.
A terrific wind was blowing, and
the sky seemed to be boiling. There
was no doubt Bender was in for a
terrific Storm-even If the cyclone
did miss them.
The cave was stone, covered over
with dirt in a mound, and the doors
were large, double storm ones. They
would be perfectly safe there. There
was a cot and Vivian and Celeste
sat on it-their teeth chattering
with fear. The little French girl
hardly knew what it was all about.
But she remembered vaguely hear
ing people talk about the dreadful
funnel-shaped monsters hat swirled
over the country ana wiped out en-
tire towns.
"Eet ees like Paris in re war,
madame" she chartered, holding
tight to her knees to keep them from
shaking. Many time we go to re
cellar when re Germans bombers
come. Eet was terrible"
Suddenly Kent bolted for the door.
Vivian was struck dumb when he
started to open it and go out.
my God, Kent, what are you
going to do?" She ran toward him.
"Dovie and Mrs. Jansen. They
may not know there is a bad storm"
He was out of the cave before
she could stop him. The wind was
tearing through the night, and mis-
sles were already flying through the
air. Her heart stood still for a mo-
ment. Then, scarcely realizing what
she was doing, Vivian. started out
the door to bring him back.
Celeste screamed and ran after
her. She was up the steps before
she caught her, and with all the
strength in her little body. pushed
her back into the cave. Vivian felt
herself being hurled down the steps,
and looked up just in time to hear
a scream and see Celeste throw up
her hands and roll down the steps
at her feet.
A flying object had struck her in
the back of the head. Vivian stood
paralyzed with fear. staring down
at her. When she saw the blood
streaks on Celeste's face, her senses
came back. She picked her up like
a baby, and put her on the cot, look
ing around wildly for something to
wipe the blood away from her fore
head SO she could see how deeply
the maid had been wounded.
Kent! Kent was out there some
girl he loved. He had risked his
dgirl he loved. He had risked his
life to 60 to her. Even in her shock
at the injury Of Celeste that kept
drumming through Vivian's head.
He loved Dovie better than
his own life. -.

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT C. PLUNIMER

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Three thousand years
ago or more King David set out to count the inhabi-
tantS of Israel ana Judah. It took nine months and
20 days to do the job. The returns showed 1,3O0,000
valiant men that drew the sword"
That first census must have been a leisurely affair.
At least it appears so to William M. Steuart, director
OF the bureau of the census, department of commerce,
who now is getting ready to count the population of
the United States.
Steuart has one month in which to enumerate
12o.oOO,0oo persons, say nothing of obtaining, in the
same period, a vast amount of information about
6.40o. 900 farms. $4,000 mines and quarries and more
than 5000 irrigation and drainage projects.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-07-02
BIG JOB

Consider what that means.
The entire area Of the United States must be laid
off into enumeration districts. There will be approx
imately 100000, each to be canvassed by a single
enumeration.
In the cities these districts will comprise on the
average about 1900 persons. The rural districts will
be smaller, but the enumerator must cover a much
larger territory and also get data for the farms.
Steuart must see that his army Of 100000 enumer-
ators is selected. instructed, sworn into office and be
ready to begin work on the census day.
And after the actual count is completed he must
increase his office force in Washington from 900 to a
maximum Of more than 5000 for t~abulating the re-
suits.
The population count will begin early in May, 1880.
The work will cost in excess Of 100000
steuart is confident that everything will proceed
smoothly.
Fortunately" he says, "the taking of the census
in this country will not be accompanied by such
scenes as were witnessed in Turkey when that coun-
try's first census was taken in 1927.
"The Turks imprisoned the entire population in
their houses on the day of the census. No one was
allowed to go out on the streets. no trains or street
cars were run, and armed guards were on patrol to
arrest anyone found at large.
In Constantinople it was not until completion of
the census at 1918 p. m. that the people were re-
leased from their houses"
The census bureau has grown and enlarged its &C
tivities until, at the present time. it is the largest
statistical organization in the world. The data col
lected by it is confidential and can be used only for
statistical purposes.

There will be no juggling of
budgets from one state fund to an

ruling. Bobbitt pointed out that the
practice of fund juggling" has pre-

so. according to Bobbitt. His rul-
ing will mean enforcement of the
statutes provisions.
