D. c. CENSUS TAKERS
AT FINISHING STAGE
Enumerators Face Difficulties in
Indifference Shown by
Citizens.

Census takers picking up the loose
ends of the District enumeration are
being forced TO contend with indiffer-
ence and some active resistance in their
efforts to list every resident before the
final result is totalled.
In several cities the totals announced
by the Federal census have been chal-
lenged by municipal and civic bodies on
the ground that they were incomplete.
and the superintendent of the local
census, j. Sterling Moran, is determined
to leave no cause for complaint on this
score.
Large numbers OF apartment and
boarding house jewellers either do not
wish TO be enumerated or have neglect
ed cooperate with the workers. In GER
tain sections of the city roomers have
been lodging the enumerators, and In
others whole floors of apartment dwell
ers presistently ignore the blanks dis
tributed to them.
Although the present census Is only
about weeks old, Mr.. Moran is certain
1t will be completed in less time than
the 1920 count, which required seven
weeks.
One mistaken idea which Is causing
considerable trouble is the desire OF
newcomers here to attribute their place
of residence to the home city. The CEN
sus defines the residence in this case as
the usual place of abode" Thus
visitor here for only a day or so is no
longer a visitor when he takes job in
the District.
The corps of census officials today
were checking back on the enumera-
tors and answering complaints from
various sections that the count had not
been compiled there. Some of these
have been found to be true, and all are
investigated.

CATHOLICS GATHER
TO OPEN CONGRESS
American Delegation Arrives
With Thousands Pouring
Into TuniS.

CARTHAGE, Tunisia, May Cath
olics from all over the world are assem-
bling at Tunis. 10 miles away today. for
the formal opening of the Eucharist
congress, the main program of which
will be held here Thursday and the fol-
lowing three days. A large American
delegation arrived at S am. aboard the
French liner Rochambeau.
They gathered here In a Moslem
land, to honor the memory of early
Christian martyrs, particularly by St.
Augustine, Bishop of Hippone. Carthage
is city of ancient ruins, once the
citadel of Christianity.
Cardinal Lepicier, papal legate at
Latere, sent by the Pope is bringing the
monstrance containing the sacred host.
Six other cardinals, a hundred bishops
and thousands of priests and laymen
are coming for the five days of religious
and inspirational services.
One of the ceremonies will be the
dedication, on the site of the old cathe-
dral, of statue to st. Augustine. Copy
OF one that stands in Bone. the Sea-
port town to the north which many
centuries ago was Hippune and where
ST. Augustine died
Catholic Boy Scouts of France, under
their leader, Gen. Quot de Salins, were

banners on the Hill ST. Louis, where
died. in 1910, the French King, Louis
TX, st. Louis, when he led the seventh
crusade to lay siege to Tunis.
Well preserved ruins of the early
Christian era, when Rome and Carthage
struggled to be supreme, recalled the
trials and the heroism of early Chris
tianity to the tens of thousands of
pilgrims. Visualizing the recrudescence
OF Christianity here, the Monastery of
the White Fathers stands as a symbol
of the missionary work initiated more
than half a century ago by Cardinal
Lavigerie, whose monks preceded here
the French who established pro-
tectorate over the country in 1881.
After the five days of service and
ceremony here most of the pilgrims will
go to Bone to celebrate there the If
tenth centenary of the death of st.
Augustine.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
CHEERS LAMONT
Commerce Secretary Sees
No Reason to Fear Serious
Commodity 0verproduction.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated PreSs,
Persistent weakness of the scale of
general commodity prices plus wide
spread complaint of overproduction In
many lines should not, in the opinion
of Robert p. Lamont, Secretary of Com
merce, be allowed to cloud, for business
vision. one cheerful and material fact.
In his opinion, based on observation
from his official post, as we'll as on long
business experience, such an oversupply
of commodities as now exists, as COM
pared to demand, is relatively small
Serious as has been its effect on prices
bringing about fall in the general
index ratios that ranges from s to 8
per cent since December-he is inclined
to regard the surplus as one that may
swiftly disappear.
Present Situation Outlined.
'It is rather remarkable how small q
difference is needed between supply and
consumption to put weight on prices,
or conversely, to thrust them up" La
mont said.
Nov, in the industrial world gen.
orally 1t seems probable that the max
imum swing between what we think of
as high production and low production
is roughly within limit of 10 per cent
up or down from the average. OF
course, There ISL any easy way OuI VI
period of REORGANIZATION of stocks
for the industrial world; things simply
have TO slow down until consumption
catches up, as we learned in 1921 and
1922. But there are no such accumu-
lations today of goods on hand as there
were then. Prices will not have to
break as badly to effect output reduc-
ton, and they haven't done so.
Result of His Studies.
'From all of our studies, it does not
seem that industrial goods have been
piled up high enough in any staple line
to threaten protracted period of abb
sorption before they are moved and be-
fore production and distribution can be
resumed at normal pressure. With
steady increase in population in the
country, with permanent disposition
in our people to consume-in the lcrg
run-individually more goods and serv-
ices, 1t does not seem to me that a gen.
eral appearance of overproduction of
commodities can be long maintained.
Any apparent surplus that now exists,
and is affecting prices, can be taken up
rather quickly in the United States by
a relatively small shift of conditions"
