ARMY OF CENSUS
TAKERS BEGINS
WORK TOMORROW

WASHINGTON, April (U.P0-
An army of 100000 enumerators
will set forth tomorrow to devote
a month to the problem of listing
every inhabitant of the United
States. The 18th decennial census
is expected to show that the popu-
lation has increased to 123,000,O0O.
William Mott Steuart, director OF
the Census Bureau, declares the
enumeration "the most colossal OF
all statistical projects" In addition
to the data collected concerning
human beings the government seeks
detailed information on 6,255,000
farms, 2,500,0O0 mercantile establish
ments, 100000 manufacturing plants.
$4,000 mines and quarries and more
than 100000 irrigation and drain
age projects.
The census schedule this year as
applied to individuals is more elab-
crate than ever before. The first
census, taken in 1880 when the pop
ulation numbered only the name OF
he head of the family and the num-
ber of persons in the family.
These are the questions to be
asked this month:
/. Relationship to head of family,
including a statement as to the
home maker in each family.
2. Whether home is owned or rent
ed.
3. Value of home, if owned, or
monthly rental, if rented.
4. Radio set?
S. Does this family live on farm?
6. Sex.
Z. Color or race.
s. Age at last birthday.
8. Marital condition.
10. Age at first marriage.
IL. Attended school or college any
time since Sept. 1, 1929?
IL. Whether able to read and
write?
Is. Place of birth of person.
IA. Place of birth of persons ia
ther.
Is. Place of birth Of persons mo-
ther.
18. Mother tongue of each foreign
born person.
IL. Year of immigration to the
United States.
1S. Whether naturalized.
10. Whether able to speak English.
20. Occupation of each gainful
worker.
FL. Industry in which employed.
22. Whether employer, employee,
or working on own account.
%. Whether actually at work.
"a. Whether veteran of the Uni
ted States military or naval forces;
and for each veteran, in what war
or expedition he served.
Among the new items on the
schedule are those regarding the
value of homes or monthly rentals,
ownership Of radio, state of en-
ployment and degree of military
service. Of these the most import
ant, in the eyes of the government
officials, is that concerning unem-
ployment. Authorities hope that by
accurate data they may be able to
eliminate a great deal Of enforced
idleness. A separate schedule on un-
I employment will ask the following
questions:
1. How many weeks since he Tor
; she) has worked on his present job?
2.Why was he not at work yes

RUINS NEAR HERE
MAY BE AT LEAST
1000 YEARS OLD
DR.. Byron Cummings
Pushing Work Of
ExcaDating

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, -
(Tucson Mar. 81. Further inves-
LEGATIONS of the recently discovered
ruins near Tumacacori mission in
dic:..- ct the prehistoric dwell
ings are at least 1000 years old.
DR.. Byron Cummings, head of the
archaeology department of the
University of Arizona is continuing
the research and is pushing the ex-
cavating work rapidly.
Massive clay walls, piles of stone
and gravel, circular buildings, dwell
ing rooms and patios are all part
of the ruins of the newly discov-
cred ancient village.
Doctor Cummings reports that
the findings either indicate the
existence of one largle building
similar in structure to the Casa
Grande ruin or several buildings
grouped together and placed on the
slope of hill.
It was judged that the age Of the
ruins was at least 1000 years from
the weathering of the walls and the
types of shell ornaments and pot
terry at the ruins. This would place
the ruins at a period at least con-
temporaneous with and possible
antedating the Casa Grande dis
covery.
Whether or not the primary set
of buildings on the hills slope,
which have the same type of wall
structure as Casa Grande, are
similar in ARCHITECTURAL form to the
prehistoric apartment house re-
mains to be revealed by further in
vestigations.
In speaking of the ruins, Doctor
Cummings said: "The ruins pre-
sent a particularly rich field for
archaeological researches and ex-
cavations, and it is my hope that
details will come to light that will
add much to our knowledge of the
culture of the prehistoric peoples
of the Santa Cruz valley.
The ruins were located by ac-
cident as road workers on the No
gales highway were scraping dirt
and gravel for construction work.
J. E. Carter, border patrolman at
Nogales and amateur archaelogiSt
noticed the edges of the wall along
the roadside on one of his field
trips. He Immediately notified
Doctor Cummings and turned his
findings over to the Arizona State
Museum of which Doctor Cummings
is executive head.
The pottery discovered at the
ruins is of both the plain reddish
brown ware and the red on buff
L
ware. Precise information as to its
age may be forthcoming from DR.
A. E. Douglass, director of the Ste
ward observatory at the University
of Arizona. Doctor Douglass, in.
ternationally famous for his recent
tree ring discoveries, will study tht
beams and timbers Of the ruin.
II The ruins are situated some forty
miles from Tucson and about /!
miles from Nogales on the Tucson
Nogales highway. The exact To-
cation is four and a half miles
south of the Tumacacori mission
They are just off the highway or
the west side of the road.

COTTON GROWERS
WILL BE- GUESTS
AT TEXTILE Mill

The cotton growers Of Southern
California are being offered an Op-
portunity TO visit textile mill and
to see what happens to their prod
uct at the other end Of the line
On Saturday afternoon, August %,
beginning at 1880, the Goodyear
Textile mill at Los Angeles will be
host to the cotton growers and will
conduct them through the mill and
show the method by which raw cot
ton is made into tire fabric.
Since the mil. 3oes not ordinarily
operate on Saturday afternoon
everything will be arranged so as
to show the inside working of each
process. Some Of the machines will
be working with operators in at
tendance while others will be dis
mantled to show what the inside
looks like. The growers will be di-
vided into small groups and each
group viii be personally conducted
through the plant by a competent
guide who will explain the details of
operation.
Preceding the tour Of the mill
there will be a discussion of mill
tests that have been made by the
federal department Of agriculture.
These tests have been made to show
the effect of certain growing prac-
tiees in irrigated districts on the
value of the line for manufacturing

purposes. Cotton from alkali fields,
fields irreguarly and insuffieiently
irrigated, fields following alfalfa,
and other other variable conditions
has been run through the mill in
separate lots to determine its valu !,
for spinning purposes. The results
Of these tests should be of value
to growers, buyers, and millcrs since
they will give more definite basis
upon which the relationship can
be determined between cultural
practice and the quality of the lint.
T.. l.. Kennedy of the t. $. depart.
ment of agriculture will discuss
these tests.
Since the mill is the ultimate con
sumner Of the raw cotton, the prob
lens of the millers are to a large
extent the problem Of the growers.
The meeting in Los Angeles will be
an opportunity for a better under
standing of these mutual problems
and should be Of great interest to
the growers of cotton in the valley.
The arrangements for the meet
ing are in the hands of the 'exten-
sion service and the farm bureau
cooperating with the L.. S. depart
ment of agriculture and the Good

GOOD PLANNING
ESSENTIAL FOR
HOME BUILDING
(By the Architects Small House
Bureau of the U. ST.

Bureau of the U. S.
Many things influence the selee
tlon of plan for your home Her,
iare some:
First, the location of your prop
,erty, its size and value.
Second, the number of people il
lyour family, the climatic condition:
of your locality, the available ma
terials at hand with which to build
Third, the limits of your purse.
In selecting plan for your home
don't be influenced too much By
style. Even though Spanish, Mis-
sion, Dutch Colonial, or English cot
tages are in vogue, it is no indica-
tion one of these may yield the only
home suitable to your needs. When
you study home plans, remcm Der
that simplicity, eompactness, ser,
viceability, are the essentials Of a
we'll planned home. You want max.
imum eonveniences and comforts
within minimum space in order to
save money.
Such things as room arrange
ments, location Of stairs, doorways,
windows, steps and labor saving de-
vices are far more important in
planning your home than accessories
or frills and fancies.
Homes are growing smaller, not
only because present day building
costs, but for the further and no
less important reason That they are
easier to maintain and keep up.
Compactness is the present day rule.
This does not mean your home needs
to be dull or dreary. 1t does mean,
however, that planning Of a smaller
home, to eliminate waste and pro-
vide all the conVeniences most
people demand, is not job for an
planner.
When it comes to selecting the
type of house that may give you
the most for your money, you should
keep in mind that, even though bun
galows are popular, yet compared
with the convenience, comforts and
floor areas of story and one half
homes, bungalows are more expen-
sive to build. This is not an argu.
ment against the bungalow type.
It merely illustrates what you must
keep in mind in home planning, if
your purse is limited and YOU de-
sire to make your dollars buy the
most for the money
You cannot afford to build even
small home without first provid
ng yourself with the most complete
and specifications. Any
hing else may spell disaster and
waste of money for you. Taking
bances on sketchy plans is like try
ng to beat railroad train at a
rossing. You may get hit hard,
nd if you do it may wreck you
i least your purse.

Two kinds Of plaster are commonly

Gypsum plaster is, perhaps. used
more in small buildings than lime

Lime Plaster Deadens Sound
Gypsum plaster sets up or be-
comes hard in much less time than

IS finally much harder than the
other. But lime plaster reverberates

comparative softuess. That is to
say, sounds in a room do not seem
SO loud when lime plaster is used.
Excellent jobs OF plastering can be
secured with either gypsum or lime,
especially if they are reinforced with
metal latE.
Plaster is put on in two or in three
coats. The first coat is called the
Scratch coat" This is made of rich
mortar composed of lime or gypsum
with sand and hair or fiber. This
must be pressed onto the lath with
considerable force 10 make it squeeze

fiber reinforces these keys. While
this coat is still soft, il is deeply
scratched or scored, so that the sec.

Two Coat Work Satisfactory
The second coat often is the final
coat. Il is brought to a common
plane with the grounds and finished
with a steel tool to make it smooth.
or else it is worked with a wooden
tool for a sanded finish. a sanded
finish can be made of any grade

Two coat work is satisfactory for
snlall houses.
Sometimes a third coat is put on.

looks better painted than smoothly

than seven-eighths in thickness OF
