The 1880 census is safely tucked
away into 80 volumes of 32,019 pages,
the 1910 census is afar off, but still
the trusty Census Bureau keeps tabu-
lating away
In the normal life of the U. S. A.,
IT'S like a great clock that quietly
ticks off the minutes, quarter hours
and half hours. as well as spectacu-
larly striking the hours
Every fifth year it takes a census
Of agriculture and electrical indus
tries. Biennially, it enumerates man
ufacturers. Annually, it complies
births, deaths, marriages, divorces,
financial statistics of States and
cities.

At the present abnormal time, 1t
has become also a vital part of the
great emergency machinery, its intri-

monies and emergency personnel are
kept separate. If any congressional
committee ever becomes curious, the
Census Bureau should be able to show
each cents spent in salary or sup

The permanent staff of the Census
Bureau runs at approximately 700 in
the Washington offices, in the great
Commerce Building 1000 in the field,

At work on various emergency prof.
eCts in the Washington offices are
1895 temporary employees; in the field
approximately $4,000. Thus the bu-
reau does its share in providing
white collar jobs.
Right now, in the steady throb of
census routine, State and city sta

the deadline for filling in the sched-
ules: vital statistics are being issued
for the first time in history from a

TERRIER ALIVE
10 DAYS after
BEING KILLED
Scientist Hopes Animal Will
Eventually Regain
Consciousness.
BIZ Tnifed Prcss

By United Press
BERKELEY, Cal, April "a. - A
fox terrier dog, killed and then
brought back to life, has been kept
alive for ten days, it was revealed
here today by DR.. Robert E. Cor
nish, University of California re-
search assistant, who is attempting
to effect permanent revival from
the dead.
DR.. Cornish said that if he is able
to restore dogs to consciousness he
has reason to believe his method
will revive persons who died from
heart attacks, drowning, electrocu-
ton, fright or similar causes.
DR.. Cornish said he killed the dog
Friday, April 13, by applying nitro
gen as a surgeon applies ether. The
dog was dead for four minutes.
Then he opened vein and inject
ed a solution composed of another
dogs blood, heparin, to keep blood
from CLOTHING, and adrenalin, to
speed heart action.
Inhalator treatment was then ap-
Piled A half minute later the dogs
heart began to beat. Two minutes
later the dog gasped and started to
breathe.
Other such experiments with dogs
failed because the hearts pumped so
violently that delicate organisms
were worn out. For this terrier, DR..
Cornish was prepared. Whenever he
noted quickening of the heart &C
ton he Immediately applied a solu-
ton of gum arabic, which kept the
heart subdued.
Last Wednesday DR.. Cornish
raised a window shade in his drab
little laboratory and admitted light
for the first time. The dog blinked
and stretched as the sunlight shone
into his eyes.
Today it still was unconscious, but
reacted to slight pin pricks. DR..
Cornish feeds the animal small por-
lions of cruel, milk and eggs, which
he places in the dogs mouth, and
which the dog swallows.
THE experiment is decided sue

hoping the dog regains complete
consciousness. Its nerve centers are
functioning and we have hopes"
