away during April, leaving the home
closed or with no one in charge who
is qualified to give census information
will obtain one of these schedules at
once and send them to me as soon as
possible" Mr.. Moran said. "Or if the
house is left in charge of a servant
who will be sure to be at home when
the enumerator calls, the schedule may
be left with such servant for delivery
to the enumerator. The information
furnished on this schedule will be
treated as confidential and will be used
only for the tabulation of statistics
which will not reveal any information
with regard to individuals or families"
New Questions on List.
In addition to the usual questions
asked in previous census years, the
fifteenth census enumeratorS will have
some new inquiries to make this year.
One of the new queries will be Have
you radio Set?" Another will seek to
ascertain whether or not your home is
owned or rented, and its value. Still
another will seek information concern
ing unemployment and employment.
The questions concerning the home are
to be asked, the Census Bureau says, to
make possible a classification of fam
lilies according to economic status, or
buying power, a classification that is
desired by individuals and firms using
the census figures for organizing selling
and advertising campaigns. The ques-
ton on radio sets will give a direct
answer to the question as to the size Of
the potential radio audience.
Another new questionable one which
asks for age at first marriage-will
serve two purposes. In the first place
a. ,,iIl ,v;,,a Ja61;+a i1for,.on t;o,, = a.
the relative age at marriage of persons
in different racial and economic groups.
In the second place it will make posi-
BILE tabulatlon Of important data on
the size of families, such tabulation to
be based on the number of children re-
ported in the families of women who
have been married O stated number Of
years.
Mr.. Moran has not yet worked out all
the details of the forthcoming nose
count in Washington, but he is getting
the campaign rounded into shape and
about March is will be ready with his
schedule, waiting for April 1 to roll
around when his 396 enumerators will
jump to their task. Enumerators are
paid on piece work basis-So much
for each person enumerated, and the
work, under the law, must be completed
In the District of Columbia within two
weeks. About 1000 persons already
have filed applications for the post of
enumerators, and he expects 1000 APP
plications by March 1, when the appli-
cation list will be closed, and the 396
workers chosen. Mr.. Moran estimates
that each enumerator win gather the
facts concerning 1900 TO 1900 persons
in Washington.
The population Of the Capital City
of the United States as of January /,
1920, was 437 81. Will it be 570,O 900 on
April I, 1880, or will it reach 100000?
The only way to find out is to take an
actual nose count.

-HE Corcoran Gallery of Art has pur-
chased from the current Biennial
Exhibition Of Contemporary American
Art four painting for its permanent
collection-the painting by Maurice
sterne entitled AFTER Lunch" awarded the
1arst w. A. Clark prize and Corcoran gold
medal; the painting by John r. Grabach ent1-
tied River Barges," which hangs in gallery B:
early Morning" by John Noble, which hangs
in gallery d, and . painting by Bryscn Bur
roughs, "Demeter and Persephone, which
hangs in gallery q. No one Of these artists
was previously Represented in the Corcoran Gal
Iery,s collection and each in his own way has
produced work Of an essentially individualistic
sort.
me purchase of the FIRST prize painting is
almost matter Of course as confirmation Of
the jury's selection. 1t may interest some to
know that whereas Maurice Sterne is commonly
ranked among the modernists, his training was
altogether academic. Born at Libau, Russia, in
1877, he was brought to America at the age
OF IL and he grew up in New York He studied
ut the National Academy Of Design and other
art schools in the metropolis. He is fully
familiar with tradition in art, has sud ed the
works of the great masters, has TRACKED ex-
tensively in Europe and has made special
study of the people Of Bali, one Of the East
Indian islands. With avowed admiration for
the great works Of the past, he Is endeavoring
to find new way Of his own He has, he says.
no sympathy for those, however. who are merely
seeking self-expression. Art, he feels, is some
thing bigger than the individual artist. And
undoubtedly he is right The mere technique
Of art furthermore, he says, does not interest
him And in answer to the question why he
chose this particular subject for Interpretation
he said it because the color arrangement
and the composition attracted him. Especially
was he interested in the emphasis It placed on
the third dimension-depth.
Obviously, no one can judge of what is beauti-
full to another, and it is possible to believe that
one interested in color, arrangement pattern,
etc, may be altogether oblivious to subjective
matter. These are probably the considerations
which led to the award Of the prize by jury
Of artists and TO the purchase Of this painting.
Beginning December % and continuing for a
week, the public will have opportunity, by vote,
TO confirm reject this Judgment. But neither
the vote of the public nor the award Of the
artists win absolutely settle the matter; the
only real test CT q work Of art is time.

WOMEN AROUSED
 ON LIQUOR LAW
Philadelphia Society and ". C. I, U. Debate Prohibition War

Philadelphia. Pa. Feb. UP)- Women. additionally known as the best cooks in the nation. have left their pepper pot and scrapplc stew ing on the stove, to run out 10 the front porch and argue about prohi- bition.
 Not since the passage of the Vol stead act has the feminine popula- ton here been so excited about a piece of national legislation. The controversy has now reached the stage where each day the news papers are deyoting the most prom inent space on their front pages to it.
 At the head of the anti prohibition faction is the attractive Mrs. Gra- 1 ham Dougherty, a 51 year old so- ciety matron who startled the city recently by announcing that prohi- i bition was a failure and that it was the duty of parents to teach their | children 'hoW to take the cocktails like ladies and gentlemen"
 Leads Dry Faction The marshal of the dry faction is Mrs. H. Clay Ferguson. wife of a minister and president of the county i Womcn's Christian Tcm pcrancc Union. Mrs. Ferguson, an earnest, ! elderly worker for prohibition, ac- cuses Mrs. pougherty of "scdition' and charges a world wide conspiracy of brewers is working to break down the Nolstcad law.
 Mrs. Dougherty is vice chairman of the Pennsylvania division of the Women's Organization for Prohibi- ton Reform. So strongly docs she feel on the subject that she has abandoned most of her elaborate social functions to devote all hcr time to the work.
 Philadelphia is the drycst large city in the United States" she said but there is a tremendous amount Of drinking going on here. 1 have four children, the oldest II years old and when these children decide they want to drink, they can come to mo and get it in our home. will teach them to drink mod erately to take their cocktails like ladies anC gentlemen instead of sending then out to speakeasies."
 There is increased drinking among women. Wherever l go in tho homes of my friends, cocktails ar. served. It IS the normal thing Prohibition las brought about ; demoralization of our youth. MN remedy is not a new one, but thin' i. would be effective. Let state have local option; let light win"' and beer be sold separate from har, liquors in those states that approve the sale of liquor.
