we have stated, the largest statistical

the growth of the United States from
the time it consisted of 3,929,2l4 souls
to its present status as a world power
with an estimated population of 128,-

come in from these districts during
the taking of the decennial population
census.
In addition to the operating di-
visions mentioned there are, of course,
the administration divisions under
Director Austin, such as Chief Clerk,
Executive Assistant, Appointment and
other organizati ational branches.
A NATURAL question is, What do
all these people do?" Specifl-
cally, they take special censuses. But
the implications are far more fas-

"leveling" Of census work by staggering
regular inquiries.
Just the highlights Of humming
era of activity. One big reason, of
course, for this record of accomplish
ment is the director of the census.
William l.. Austin Is q career civil
service man and has gone all the
way from clerk to director through
every official grade in the bureau.
Coming to the Census Bureau in 1900
he has served in turn as clerk, chief
clark, statiStician, chief statistician,
assistant director and, since April 8,
1888, director of the census.
THROUGHOUT his career Austin
has constantly kept in mind
building the Census Bureau into
what it is today, conceded to be the
greatest statistical organization in the
world. AS matter of fact, no day
passes without visitors from other
countries consulting with bureau Off
Gals with respect to methods of TAX
ing censuses. At one time or another
practically every civilized country has
had representatives looking into the
way Mr.. Austin conducts his bureau
In Washington. The director, too,
has realized the importance Of hav-
ing the right men around him. His
assistant director, DR.. Vergil D. Reed,
is proof of that. He is specialist In
business administration, with many
years of experience in marketing re-
search. Answers to such nebulous
inquiries as rs business improving or
is it all talk?" emerge clear-cut and
unequivocal from his compilations
and mounds of data.
At the present time about 5000 in
dividuals are busy helping Director
Austin develop the many ramifcations
OF his duties. In years when special
censuses are to be taken, this staff
scars skyward In numbers. For ex-
ample, when the census OF business
covering 1885 was taken last year
there were 10000 workers in the field
alone. The divisions of the bureau
are shifting, of necessity, depending
upon the years activities. For in
stance, the Business Census Division
decreases in personnel Immediately
a1ter completion Of a business CEN
sus, and by the same token, the Popu-
latlon Census Division is reduced by
thousands once a population census
Is out Of the way.
Besides the regular divisions covered
by census necessities-such as popula-
tlon, agriculture, business, manufac-
turers, vital statistics, ETC., there are
such divisions operating as Territorial.
1nsular and Foreign Statistics Di-
vision; Statistics of States and Cities
Division; Cotton and Oils Division: :
Special Tabulations Division; Machine
Tabulation Division; Statistical Re-
search Division; Publications, General
Information, Records and Religious
Statistics Division. Then there are
the Field Division, which collects the
data and is in charge OF the enumer-
ators and the Geographer's Division
The Geographer's Division lays out
the districts, plans the travels of the
enumerators, prepares the lists OF
political and county subdivisions and
keeps track of the numerous and fire.

Gibbs Tells
A Fantastic"
Fairy 7 ale

A, Hamilton Gibbs uses q
very recent happening in Great
Britain as the basis for his
story, "The Young Prince" and
then dubs it "a fantastic story
perhaps"
Mr.. Gibbs story is something
like second sight or what might
have happened if a certain
monarch had not renounced his
throne "for the woman I love"
It comes in the category of a
fairy story. First, because it is
written that way, and second,
because it ends with everybody
living happily ever after.
The prince in Mr.. Gibbs
story was a kind prince. One
that was interested in his
people, One who served his
country well as a prince ana
was qualified in every way to
serve his people as a king. Not
the politicians, but the people.
It was when he wanted to
marry the lady he loved who
had been divorced twice that
the prime minister objected.
So, the good prince just fired
the prime minister, got himself
another one and went on the
air. His speech was not one Of
abdication. He just put the
situation up to the people and
asked them what he should do
about it, and the people-not
the politicians thought he
ought to do just what he had
wanted to do all along. And so
he married the gal and they
lived happily ever after.

Hamilton Gibbs, published By
Lippincott.)
