Census May Begin
With Household at
Executive Mansion
Mr.. or Mrs. Hoover to Be
First i'm District When
Queries Are Answered.
ny the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Herbert Hoover and his
household quite probably will be emu
merated first, or at least with some spe-
cial showing, when the Capital City's
demonstrating begins next Wednesday.
AS far back as the first census, in
1890, precedent may be found for such
procedure. The names of prominent
people, such as John Hancock and
head of census lists. Washington had
not become the National Capital then.
Logical Selection.
President Hoover proclaimed the CEN
suS, and it Is considered but logical at
the Census Bureau that 1t should be
brought first to his front door. He will
have opportunity to give the frank re-
plies for which he asked in his procla-
mation-unleSs Mrs. Hoover should
chance to come to the door to speak
for the family.
A possibility was whispered about to-
day that j. Sterling Moran, census
supervisor for the District of Columbia,
in charge of 397 enumerators, might
himself appear at 1900 Pennsylvania
avenue to make inquiries about the
Hoover home.
At the front portico, with its great
white columns, the following questions
might be put to the President:
Your name?
Your relationship to the family?
Is your home owned or rented?
For demonstrating purposes, bureau
experts explained today, President is
a person, and is to be Intercepted as
such.
In Chief Household.
All those who can answer the ques-
ton, Where do you nve?" with the re-
ply, "At 1000 Pennsylvania avenue, ="
will be enumerated in the White House
household.
All the rest of Washington's official
dom, including Vice President Curtis,
Speaker Longworth and Chief Justice
Hughes, will be counted as they chance
to come, just so many tallies in the big
brown portfolios.

completed by the Office OF motion
pictures. United States Department Of Agricui-
ture.
This is the very first sound picture attempted
by any branch of our Government and as SUCH
probably is Uncle Sans most important expert
ment in the movie field for over decade.
Right now, we are told by G. A. Lindstrom.
associate chief of the office, that thousands OF
Government-made silent cinemaS are being
shown, free of charge, throughout the remote
rural regions Of this country, and, with the new
impetus given to such motion pictures by the
welcome addition Of sound, their value as an
entertainment and educational medium VIII
be enhanced to a tremendous degree. More
over, foreign countries, who bought last year
total of 3S7 pictures from the Department OF
Agriculture alone, likewise are expected to take
kindly to our new synchronized films.
"Most of US viii recall reading" Mr. Lind
strom explains, "a couple Of years ago, when
the taIkes first made their debut in Holly
wood, Of the many difficulties experienced ~
the big producers toward achieving first
class experimentation Of sound and motion. The
chaos and confusion resulting from this situ-
alton lead inevitably to a rather mediocre type
of picture during those trying experimental
stages of the new art. However, surprisingly
soon the sound Aims started to improve so far
as technical excellence was concerned
Similarly our movie men experienced
period of uncertainty in launching plans for
their first sound pictures. Should they con-
fine themselves to music and sound enectsT
Or try to produce an 'all-talkie'? And II the
latter. should they have the voice come from
all the characters presented, or keep some Of
them silent?"
MIR. LNDSTRoM goes on to point out that
before attempting definite solution of these
important questions Uncle Sans officials
made thorough study Of the various types Of
synchronized films being used by other nations.
A certain Government-controlled company, for
instance, had hit upon the plan Of filming
short subjects showing famous college professors
giving speeches in the particular line OF study
which had given them renown.
In many ways these films were an excellent
example Of how not to do the sound nlm.
