Airplanes have been enlisted, and the coast guard has the actual description of the craft.

Was Given to City With End
of Spoils System.

The principle of building up the Gov
ernment force by Civil Service has aided
the development CT the Capital, Miss
Jessie Dell, member of the Civil Serv-

banquet of the University Women S
Club.
THE City of Washington could not
have developed under the spoils system
as it has under the merit system in
Federal employment" she said. Who,
Tor instance, would undertake the re-
sponsibility Of buying a home in Wash
tngton unless he felt reasonably sure of
his job? We Of the present day are so
accustomed to the stability of employ
ment under the Civil Service law that
we give little thought to what condi-
tions would have been if the spoils
system had not been abolished
Miss Dell outlined conditions that had
existed under the spoils system telling
.Df the abuses it had bred, until a change
was effected.
THE merit system in public employ
ment,' she continued, sis part of good
government"
The Rainbow class is women's or
ganization, and for that reason Miss
Dell went extensively into the subject
OF women in Government service, tell
ing the strides the sex had made toward
high positions.

Racing railroad trains to- highway

eyes of Nebraska state laws, and
punishable in some cases by heavy

NEARLY THREE MILLION NEGRO
FAMILIES IN THE UNITED
STATES

Washington-(CNS)LThe Bureau
of the Census has just announced the
total number of families in the United
States as 29,9O4,663 of which 2,8O3, 756
are classified as Negro families. The
tenure Of homes was also included in
the announcement. The term "fam-
lily" as used in the tabulation is linn
tied in the main to what might be
called private families and in census
usage is defined as a group of per
sons, who live together as one house
hold, usually sharing the same table.
The classification of families by color
and nativity is determined by the color
and nativity of the head of the family.
in April, 1880, 1913 per cent of the
families in the United States were
white. ga percent, Negro; and 1.3
percent of other races. The distribu-
ton of families in the United States
by color and nativity Of head, togeth-
er with the total population similarly
classified is shown in the following
table:
Since a home is defined as the liv-
ing quarters coupled by a family, the
pumber of homes is always the same
as the number Of families. In CLASH
hcation by tenure, a home is counted
as owned if it is owned wholly or in
part by any related member of the
family. A home owned by a lodger,
however, is counted as rented. Of all
homes returned in the 1880 census,
14,002.074 or 46.8 percent were owned
and 15,319,817, or SIP percent were
rented, while for 1.9 percent the ten
ure was not reported.
Of Negro homes, 669,645, or 23.9
percent yer owned; and 2,050,217 or
73.1 percent were rented, while for
1884 or approximately 80 percent
tenure was not reported. For the
white families 49.5 percent o e d
their homes, 48.7 percent were ten
ants and tenure was not reported on
1.8 percent Of these homes.
