ton has continued to skyrocket since then
During the Trembling Thirties the produc-
ton of clocks other than electric ones has
been cut in half. But the production of elec->
tric clocks multiplied about fifty times.
There is heavy gloom in the wooden-barrel
industry. whose production has been cut
about seventy per cent. But the makers of
steel barrels are not worrying Their produc-
ton has doubled.
The value of all manufactured ice produced
is a quarter less than it was decade ago.
But in 1910 production of mechanical re-
frigerators will be triple that of 1890.
IT WILL surprise nobody to learn that the
auto has largely replaced the horse and buggy,
but the figures are interesting. In 1904, forty
six buggies were made for every car that was
turned out. In 1899, something like 1900
autos were made for every buggy.
The aviation industry has been soaring,
largely on wings furnished by wars and fear
of wars. The census will probably show that
aircraft production has tripled since 1887. !
Public interest in vitamins has, in two
decades, doubled the acreage devoted to rails
ing vegetables. Grapefruit production will be
reported as about four times what it was
fifteen years ago.
One last word. When you have your chat
with the census taker, you may think he has
nerve asking you 50 many questions But
try to be patient with him. and don't kid him
about your age or other matters. What you
say will show up only as the last dgits in long
columns of statistics. But the totals of those
columns may mean lot to all Of U.S.
When these figures are translated into un-
derstandable terms they may show that some
new invention or trend is cutting your job
right out from under you. Or they may show
you where to put your foot on the rung of
ladder that is pointing skyward. The answers
you give will contribute to an important fund
of knowledge that will help Americans to plan
more wisely for the future.

Beggars Fill
Chinese Civ

PAOIlNG, China-This is a city
of beggars, but they are not pro-
fessional "panhandlers. They are
farmers with wives and children
who were forced to flee their lands
to escape last autumn's floods.
Twenty-Five thousand rtarving
and homeless men and women, and
children have descended on this
city In search of food, according
to foreign missionaries stationed
here Like the ''red-caps" in
American railway stations, the
beggars meet all trains. hoping
someone will give them a few
cents.
The e-controlled provin-
cial regime which has its seat here
apparently has done little to allie
viate the condition of the starving
people. All organized relief work
has been carried out by foreign
missionaries and the Chinese Red
Swastika Society-the latter a
Buddhist Red Cross organization
which has nothing to do with the
Nazi regime.
Funds of these organizations
however, are inadequate TO care
for even small part Of the hun.
cry people. Several foreign mis-.
sions were nearing the end Of their
relief resources, with the wheat
harvest still month away.

To Finish New
Prison Soon

COLUMBIA, S. C.-South Caro-
lima now has one of the nations
most up-to-the-minute state peni-
tentiaries, even to shower baths
and fire-proof cellblocks.
The 15-acre prison, which holds
1000 inmates, has undergone fun
damental and far-reaching changes
in the past three and one-half
years. improvements still are be-
ing made under the state admin
istration's long-range moderniza-
ton program.
Five of the main prison build
ings have been fire-proofed. Two
others are in process Of fire-proof-
ing.
One Of the biggest tasks was in
stalation of water and sewer IA
cilities in the main cell block be-
cause of the solid rock and stone
construction of the structure.
The new hospital, capable OF
caring for 100 patients, is perhap.
the most up-to-dste unit of tn,

facility.
Although showers have not beer
