Census EnumeratorS
Overlook Ages
of Women

Since the wilful giving of

enumerator is punishable by a
years imprisonment, a $500
fine, or both, one Of the ques-
tions arising in the present
census is:
What should be done with a
woman who lops a few. years

Undoubtedly she has violated
the law. Census officials agree
however, that prosecution would
be unlikely as an ungallant
