ROME, Sept. 9 (P)-Two thou
sand persons. mostly American
refugees from the European war,
sailed today on the Italian liner
Rex for New York.

were painted on her sides and decks
for Identification.
There were reports she would be

Chemist Expresses
Interest in
Devil Club

What good is "fatsia horrida"?
That's Latin for Devil Club, the
vicious spine-sprinkled brush that
posters one everywhere in South
east Alaska woods.
AS for what good it is, scientists
have been especially interested in
this malicious plant. They say it
contains insulin, for treatment of
diabetes, and has other apparently
good medicinal qualities.
Indians of Southeast Alaska have
used Devil Club shoots, stepped as
for tea, for many years as blood
purifier, and general physic.
At any rate, Charles Goldstein
has received call from a chemist
in Los Angeles, asking how much
Devil Club root he could get.
Goldstein told his friend: You
can have all of it.

Five years ago William Henry

Jimmy Wilson, then manager Of

After three years at hard labor

VIII Select Group
For this work. a small group of
highly-qualified men will be select
ed between now and the first Of
the year.
The general population census
will get under way in April and is
expected to take at least six
months to complete. Mrs. Malstrom
explained. More than 100 persons,
all especially schooled. viii take
part in Tacoma and Pierce county,
Mrs. Malstrom revealed.
And for these operatives, it'll
be door-to-door work. as always.
They will ask a lot OF questions.
Quite a number of persons have
called the office within the past
few days, asking about the ques-
tons. Mrs. Malstrom says their
conception of the work differs In
startling fashion.
One, for instance. thought ques-
tions stopped when the census TAX
er found out the address and num-
Der of children. Another thought
there just weren't any questions
that wouldn't be asked.
Some of the questions are as
follows:
Whether homes are owned or
rented, citizenship of foreign resi-
dents, salaries or incomes and
their source. what persons have
social security accounts, whether
persons have jobs, are seeking jobs,
or how long they have been out
of work.
Those are some of the new ones.
and. Of course, all of the old ques-
tons have been retained, regarding
vital statistics. The government
will want to know also about your
school attendance and highest
grade attended and how many
times you have moved in the past
five years.
Housing Census
Still on the fire, needing a con-
gressional appropriation, is a third
census-which would be known as
a housing census.
This would be designed TO find
out practically everything there
is to know about the U. S. home
its water supply. radios. refrig-
orators. mortgage status. founda-
tons, repairs needed and so on.
With Mrs. Malstrom, in her
office are Fred S. Lambert, her
assistant, and Nora Johnston. her
secretary. Right now they are
probably the busiest three people
in town. Area supervisor is
Charles II. leighton in Seattle.
