the Census Bureau. the only agency
with age records, was the final hope. u
Most Of the persons needing such
information should be listed in the
1900 census, Ryan said, although that
Of 1890, destroyed by fire, would have
been preferable.
Constant reference to the old census
volumes themselves for this data would
soon have been damaging to the
books, Ryan pointed out. A card
index system was therefore neces-
sary.
st. Louis was selected for the project
because of the larger number OF
workers available for this detailed type
Of work, Ryan stated.
The workers on the project repre-
sent 240 occupations, the director said
Most Of the employees have received
sos to $85 monthly, and IS per cent
of the 100000 allotted for the
indexing will have been spent for
pay rolls when the work Is COM
pleted.
Forty railroad cars will be neces-
sary to carry the completed index
back to Washington in 1900 steel files
containing 10000 cards each.

the persons's name then filed accord
ing to code number.
"VoWels are diSregarded," said Ryan.
"The letters H and w also are ignored
entirely except for initial letters. Re-
manning consonants in name, then
are coded to three figures. Double
consonants or equivalents are treated
as one letter.
ARABIC numerals from one to six
are used in the coding. The letters
B, F, P and are /; c, G, j, K, @,
S. x and z, 2; D and T, g. L is 4; M
and N are and R is 6.
For example, take the nam Bird
We find the name CODES to B63O.
Similarly, Byrd would also code the
same, B630. If the alphabetic ar
rangement were used, Bird and
Byrd would be some distance apart
whereas under this system they fall
into the same classification
The records compiled will be util-
lied in furnishing birth information
to persons applying for pensions un-
der the social security act.
1T is surprising" said Ryan, the
number of persons IS years of age
and over who are unable to pro-
duce any satisfactory data concern
ing themselves.
Registration Now Required.
Every State now requires birth
and death registration, but this has
only been in recent years. Family
Bibles and baptisimal records when
certified are acceptable But the fam
lily Bible as means of keeping records
Is becoming thing of the past. Thus

MRS. CABLE DEATH
MYST|F|ES POLICE
Husband and Miss Ludwig
Still HeId-Probe Termed
"leading Nowhere"
B1 the Associated Press.

Bs the Associated Press.
CANTON, Ohio, March 20.-The
tongues of Canton's 100000 residents
wagged tonight with the question,
who killed Mrs. Cable?" and police
conceded they were little nearer the
answer than they were the night she
died.
Her husband, Dueber S. Cable was
IN city Jail, facing arraignment next
Thursday on a suspicion complaint
her husbands 45-year-old inamorata,
Miss Theresa Ludwig, was in county
Jail on a similar charge, and police
checked hundred clues and the tram
script of hours Of questioning with no
answer to the question.
Some authorities said f1atlv thev
saw no turn ahead in TIE investiga-
ton. Police Chief Ira A. Manderbaugh
mentioned his hope for lucky
break
Shot Through Window.
The middle-aged wife of 48-year-old
Gable, prominent Ohio contractor,
was killed March II by a shotgun
assassin as she was covering her ca
nary for the night. A charge of bird
shot tore through window on the
Gables commodiouS Fulton road
home. Gable, in Cleveland at the
time, drove the So miles back to Can
ton to attend the funeral of his wife
and to face the questioning of Prose-
cutor A. c. L. Barthelmeh and his
aides, assisted by lie detector.
Two nights after the killing Miss
Ludwig was taken into custody in
Steubenville, So miles away. The next
day police entered her apartment in
Akron, 20 miles north of Canton, and
found a Well-stocked private bar.
Capt Elmer E. Clark announced Gable
had told him of seven-year compan-
ionship with the 45-year-old divorcee,
the last two years of which he had
maintained the Akron apartment.
Clues Lead Nowhere"
ClrcumStantial ClueS-footprints be-
meath the window through which the
fatal charge was fired, and an empty
shotgun shell found miles from the
houSe-Seemingly had led nowhere
tonight, authorities agreed.
Canton recalled its most notorious
killing previous to the Gable Staying.
Don Mellett, crusading newspaper ed
ttor, was shot to death in 1926. For
two years the case lay dormant, and
then policeman and three other men
were convicted.
Canton wondered tonight whether
1t would take several years to answer
the question, WHO killed Mrs. Cable?"

CHANCE T0LEARN
TO SWIM OFFERED
The Star and Y. M. C. A.
Again Cooperate in Pro-
Viding Boys Instruction.

Hoping to reduce the needless loss
OF life through drownings, The Star
again will cooperate with the Y. M.
G. A. in another learnt swim cam
paign" for Washington boys.
A free training course in swimming,
under the direction of corps Of ex-
pert instructors. will be given daily,
beginning on March 29 and continu-
ing through Saturday, April 3, when
the final tests will be held.
James c. Ingram, Y. M. c. A. direc-
tor of boys activities, said this oppor-
tunity to learn to swim is open to any
boy between 10 and 18 who cannot
swim at all. The course is not open
to those who have mastered the rudi-
ments Of swimming.
Ingram said hourly lessons will be
given at 8, 10, IL, IL, l, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7

checked" 10 minutes before take
off time.
Miss Earhart's lightning like ma
neuver of the throttles and ignition
switches apparently prevented an eX-
plosion and a fire which would have
trapped her and her navigators. Even
the ground about the plane was
drenched with gasoline.
Plans Another Attempt.
This means a postponement of
the world trip, but not cancellation ~
Miss Earhart said.
A group of fewer than 100 per-
sons, mostly Army officers, witnessed
the breath-taking incident, but not
all of them saw in detail what hap
pened because the plane had ira
veled 1000 feet in the dawn when
1t swayed out of control.
Maj. Phillip Melville of the Army
Air Corps said an investigation showed
the right tire burst and the landing
gear gave way
Miss Earhart "gunned" the left
motor quickly in an attempt to pre-
vent the swerve, but the ship tipped
on its left wing. The right wheel,
ripped off, fell 40 feet away.
Miss Earhart thus sidestepped po-
tential disaster twice in less than
three days.
An inspection yesterday revealed the
propeller bearings of her plane were
almost dry when she sped into Hon.
olulu the day before to finish a 2,4O0-
mile dash from Oakland in the record
time of is hours 151a minutes.
Wilbur Thomas, motor expert, said
the condition might have forced her
down between here and Rowland Is
land had it not been discovered.
Noonan Feels Lucky"
Friends of Navigator Noonan later
quoted him as saying Its a lucky
thing the accident happened when it
did. If the plane had got into the
air with fiat tire and attempted
landing in that condition on HoWland
Island, we would have come back
in boxes"
The friends said Noonan told them
he saw sparks coming from every
where; that the gasoline tank on the
right side split and started to leak:
that Miss Earhart first cut off the right
motor in the attempt to turn the plane
so the weight would shift to the re-
naming right wheel.
The slpStream, or rush of air back
through the wings from the propellers,
blew the gas away, Noonan was
quoted.
Noonan told his friends he Miss
Earhart and Manning had made a
pledge to attempt the flight again as
soon as the plane was repaired.

may have vastly serious consequences
witnesses said the tire blew. However,
studying the tracks carefully, believe
that may not have been the primary
cause of the accident. The right shock
absorber, as it heightened, may have
given away.
Plane Pulled to Right,
Watchers on the ground saw the
wing drop. Suddenly, the plane pulled
to my right. I reduced the power on
the opposite engine and succeeded in
swinging from the right to the left.
For moment, thought I would be
able to gain control and straighten
the course. But alas, the load was
30 heavy once it started an arc there
was nothing to do but let the plane
ground loop as easily as possible.
With the excessive weight, the land
ing gear on the right was wrenched
free and gasoline sprayed from the
drain well. That there was no fire is
surely the result of the kind wishes
and generous thoughts which have
come to me from all over the world.
That no one of the three of us on
board was even shaken attests the
safety of a modern metal plane such
IS mine.
I must say good word for Fred
Noonan and Harry Manning. They
were both as game as could be. In
fact, when the first men reached the
plane and opened the cabin door, they
found Fred methodically folding up

half dozen reptile groups remained.

somehow equipped to survive the con-

fellow reptiles, have left relatively
little evidence of their progress during
these hundred million years." the

NATIONAL SECURITY
HELD RESEARCH AIM
Assistant Secretary Of Navy
Describes Scientific Work
Before Naval Engineers.

In large sense, 'the prime function
of scientific research in the naval
establishment is to guarantee national
security" Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Charles Edison told the annual
dinner meeting of the American Soci-
ETY. of Naval Engineers last night at the
Willard Hotel.
The Navy is actively pursuing ex-
perience and definite knowledge Of its
peculiar requirements through the
agency Of scientific research" said
Edison. 1T seems essential that re-
search be carried on in an aggressive
manner in peace time in order that its
fruits may be available in national
emergency"
Edison sketched the functions of the
various bureaus in the Navy Depart
ment and the part they are playing
in developing this program. He de-
scribed the modern man of war as "the
acme of chronological development,
embodying in its most concentrated
and useful form the accumulated ex-
perience of nearly every branch Of
human endeavor."
