800 CENSUS BUREAU
employees LET OUT
100 More to Go in August, With
Expiration of Temporary
Period.

Since June 80, approximately 300 en-
ployes of the Census Bureau have been
let out as their period Of employment
for one year expired. During August
approximately 100 more must go, as
their appointments expire. This was
explained today by william M. Steuart,
director of the census.
There are about 200 temporary en-
ployes in the card-punching section Of
the census, and as that work Is nearing
completion and there is nothing further
for the employees to do they will be dis
missed in small lots over q period Of
three to four months.
Director Steuart pointed out that
there are now some 5000 persons on
the census rolls, who are paid from the
special appropriation made by Congress
for taking the decennial census. The
normal roster of the Census Bureau be-
tween the census enumeration periods
is TOO, so that it is necessary to cut
down the pay roll from approximately
5 900 to TOO before the end Of the CEN
sus period, December 81, 1882, when
the appropriation expires.

The Christian conception OF sex
clothes the relationship between
husband and wife with spiritual sig
nificance, sanctifying marriage ass
divine institution. Moral control is
the basic essential to a worthy eX-
perience of a marriage relation.
In expressing its Judgment on
this subject, the church in no sense
modifies its condemnation of sex
relations outside of marriage.
Two methods are possible in Sc
curing birth control. The first is
confluence. The second is the use
of contraceptiyes. When this method
is adopted in seeking the worthy
objectives stated above. i only
should be in fidelity to the highest
spiritual ideals OF the Christian
home.
