There are also questions about
John Does educational training:
The highest school grade attended

citizen has attended school since

will want to know it.
The sample questions delve more
deeply into the question of the

unemployed, how many weeks has
he been looking for work and how
many weeks did he work within
the last year? What was his last
job, and with what field of indus
try was it connected?
Then come the questions that
have kicked up political wirlWinds

The census taker will want to
know how much salary the citizen
earned last year, how much he
made through his own business or

from other sources. Heads of
households will also be asked if

How much of your time the
coming census will take depends
good deal on you
Starting on April l. more than
1,100 census takers in the Dis
trict area will start making their
rounds. Their job is to get vital
information on every man, wom-
an and child in their assigned
areas, and facts about the places
where they live.
That information, when it is
gathered, will be turned into sta
tistics by the Census Bureau. It's
a process of taking stock-of fig
uring out where we stand as a
Nation. AS Lincoln put it: IF we
could first know where we are
and whittier we are tending, we
could better tell what to do and
how to do it,
An individual interview is sup
posed to take from 10 to Is min
utes, depending on the skill of
the enumerator and the infor-
nation of the citizen. If a person
doesn't know the facts about the
people who live in the house re-
turn calls will be necessary, and
the process will be that much
more complicated.
An interviewer is authorized to
get information on a whole house,

Cops and Robbers
Is Real Game for
Pistol oting Boys

A game of cops and robbers be-
came the real thing for four young
Alexandria boys yesterday when
their private arsenal was found
to have come from a burglarized
store.
Alexandria police, investigating
housebreaking at the Trade
Supply Co., 806 North Fairfax
street, over the week end, noted
large quantity of cap pistols
and caps among the goods re-
ported stolen. When Pvts. Clar-
ence Wilkinson and Bruce Proctor
saw a 12-year-old youngster firing
away his toy six-shooter on Fair
fax street yesterday, they started
asking questions.
This resulted in the arrest of
three other boys who admitted
the housebreaking. All are COL
ored. All property was recovered
except for the caps, indicating
lot of make believe blood and
thunder the day before.

many children they have borne.
After he completes the front
side of his schedule the census
taker will turn over the sheet and
fill in the blanks for the housing
census.
With few exceptions the ques-
tions about their houses should
give residents little trouble. They
are mostly limited to queries
about the household equipment,
ranking from the number Of peo-
pie to a room to the number of
people to a bathtub.
There are a few, however, that
might stick the average house
wife. The enumerator will want to
know when the house was built,
and if there is a mortgage or trust
on it. He will want the monthly
figures for rent and utilities.
Census takers who have been
making tests of the questions say
that one of the toughest of all is
how much the property would sell
for; or. if it is rented furnished,
what it would rent for unfur-
nished.
Nothing would save more time
for the citizen, or make the CEN
sus people happier, than for
Washington residents to have
these facts at their fingertips
when the enumerator caQs.

Housewife Found Guilty
Of Stealing Pocketbook

A young District housewife was
given a 30-day suspended Jail
sentence in Arlington County
Court yesterday for stealing a
pocketbook from a women's fash
ion shop.
Mrs. Irene Cumberland, 18, of
the TOO block of D street NE,
admitted she took the pocketbook
a week ago from the Vanity Box
in the Washington and Lee Shop
ping Center.
Mrs. Betty Staples, 20, of the
TOO block of Eighth street NE,
was found not guilty on a charge
of larcenty of a 65-cent bottle of
perfume from a drugstore in the
same shopping center.
Judge Hugh Reid agreed with
Defense Attorney B. M. Hedrick
that mo more than a suspicion"
of Mrs. Staples guilt was estab-
lished by the Commonwealth.
The women were apprehended
when the proprietor of another
store in the shopping center in
vestigated the contents of large
brown paper bag one of the women
brought into his store.

Although the National Flower
and Garden Show will end to-
night, many of the flowers will
remain here to bloom again in a
Silver Spring memorial garden.
Members of the Silver Spring
Garden Club announced today
that the 10000 tulip bulbs and the
more than 10000 narcissus hya-
cinth bulbs that made up the huge
center garden at the show, have
been given the club by the Asso-
ciated Bulb Growers Of Holland.
In addition, officers said. Gran
vile Guide, Washington florist and
local show chairman, has given
the club all bulbs used in the
Guide garden exhibits.
The bulbs will be used in a
memorial garden being planned
by the club in Blair Park, Silver
Spring. Club officials said the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission now is making
plans for the memorial garden.
Plants to Be Dried.
The bulbs will be left in the pots
in which they have been exhibited
at the show for the last week until
all foliage has died. They then
will be dried and stored for plant
ing next year.
The bulbs have lost some
strength by being forced, it was
said, but with proper treatment
should make a brilliant future dis
play.
The week-long show has given
thousands of Washingtonians a
chance to see at it's best the plant
breeders achievements and the
skill of the landscape architect.
Hundreds of new plant varieties
have been shown here for the first
time during the week.
Almost everyone is familiar with
the redbud. which in the spring
covers the mountainsides with
sheen of reddish purple. But, until
this week, few had ever seen
white variety of this common tree.
White redbud, or Cercis Canade
Alba or white Judas tree, was used
in the Adolph Guide Sons Co. gold
medal garden, and so many ques'
tionS came in about the trees that
finally sign was placed in the
garden giving the name.
Perfected Only Recently.
The white Judas tree is sam
pie of the plant breeders skill and
was perfected only recently.
Robert Roland. manager, said
more than $4,000 persons visited
the show through Monday. He
anticipated total of about 80, 900
visitors by closing time tonight.
Mr.. Roland said there is no
chance the show will return to
Washington next year. He added,
however. that, Baltimore has a
fair chance" of getting the snow
next spring.
1t has been suggested that the
show alternate between Washing
ton and Baltimore. If it becomes
permanent, it will be staged by.
local florists and nursery interests.
Mrs. Emmanuel B. Perry, chair
man of the Garden Club section,
