PROMPT RETURNS INGENSUS ORDERED Population Statistics to Be Reported by Each District Upon Completion. By the Associated Press. Population statistics of the 1930 de- | cennial census will be announced pub- licly in each of 500 districts immediate- ly after they are gathered, :instead of being tabulated first in Washington. William M. Steuart, director of the _census, explains that this procedure would be followed for the first time with the forthcoming census, in order that inaccuracies may be detected be- fore the figures are tabulated for the permanent record. At least 100,000 enumerators will be needed to canvass the Nation's homes for the census, he says, and between 6,000 and 8,000 more will be employed Yere later. Woman Enumerators Favored. Selection of women for the jobs”of enumerators is favored by. the directors | because they usually have a plentiful endownment of tact and are faithful in_attending to details. “Women have been employed in the work for census of the past,” he says, “and with great success. “Tact is especially nccessary in gath- | ering personal, confidential facts for the | census.” b | Though applications for positions as enumerators will be field with the Cen- sus Bureau here, supervisors in the | 500 districts into which the country will be divided, will be responsible for organization of the staff. The plan is to employ one enumerator for each 2,000 estimated population. “Publication of the -figures in the districts,” Director Steuart expects, “will also enable me to carry out the pm\'xs-,‘ jon of the law of a penalty on deliberate inaccuracy. The supervisor will not be paid for the work in his district until after results of his staff have been pub- lished and opened to public comment.” 123,000,000 Population Expected. ©On the basis of estimates of the av- erage periodic increase in population of the country, it is believed that about 123,000,000 individuals must be listed | for the new census. An impression of the magnitude of | the bureau’s task is conveyed by a sum- mary of work done on the last census. At that time 25,000,000 separate forms Were distributed and filled out by the canvassers. The information was then transmitted to a file of cards by means of punching holes in them—300.000,000 cards. Then, in correlating facts gath- ered, the cards were run through elec- trical tabulating machines—the equiva- lent of running 2,500,000,000 cards. “The law provides that enumeration must be completed within two months,” Director Steuart points out, “but in the past it has been necessary to extend this time somewhat. The 6,000 to 8,000 persons who will be needed to tabulate Tesults here will be employed for from one to three years.” First Volume Due in 1931. The first volume published, recording each individual separately and carrying correlated figures, on occupation and other jtems, will appear some time dur- ing 1931. Other relationships shown by the census—the increase in average length of life, for instance, and the in- | creases in marriages and divorces—will be tabulated and published later. It took 11 volumes of 1,000 pages each to contain the results of the last national census. Out of a literal barrage of requests that various kinds of information be obtained through census enumerators, Director Steuart has selected only one new item thus far. Census workers will | inquire for thefi rst time whether each | person enumerated is a veteran of any war, and of what war. e were asked to obtain all manner of information, even how many Ameri- cans owned radios, and what kinds,” he says, “but we naturally sifted the Tequesta to eliminate all except essen- g WHITE DUCK TROUSERS $2.50 EISEMAN'S, 7th & F || ADVERTISEME Fondness for Crabs Proves to Be Costly To Man on Birthday Fondness _for crabs _caused Vernon Le Roy Latton of Brad- bury Park, Md, to appear in Police Court today on a charge of larceny. Testimony revealed that, ac- companied by two friends, Latton drove his automobile to Twelfth and Water streets about 1 o'clock this morning to buy some crabs. The markets were closed, but_observing a barrel of crabs in front of the Municipal Fish Market, the defendant started away with_them, when he was halted by Policeman M. T. Mul- len of the fourth precinct. | Arraigned _in court before Judge John P. McMahon, Latton explained the incident by say- ing he wished to learn if tne crabs were alive and was rolling the barrel around to-liven them up when police arrived. He testified today was his twenty-fifth _birthday. Judge McMahon ordered him to pay a fine of $25. AUXILIARY INSTALLS MRS. C. M.

CHILDRESS ATTACKS NERGER “BAEMIES” Opponents of Transit Union, Agreement Are Scored in Magazine Article. A veiled attack on opponents of the | transit merger agreement, which died | through congressional inaction June 1.| is contained in an_article written by John W. Childress, former chairman of the Public Utilities Commission, ap- pearing in the current issue of the Pub- lic Utilities Fortnightly, a magazine dealing with the problems of utility regulation and allied topics. Mr. Childress, who resigned May 31, to become general passenger agent of | the United States Lines, Inc., in Wash- | briefly the history of the unification act and declgred it has been approved such as the_board of trade and the chamber of commerce, as well as the majority in both the Senate and House District of Columbia committees, but whereby one-half of the company's’ re- turn in excess of 7's per cent on its fair value would be applied to a re- duction in rates. As a result, he point- ed out, electric rates have been reduced almost 100 per cent since 1924 and most likely will fall to 5 cents a kilowatt our or lower in 1930. “I am confident,” Mr. Childress de- clared, “that the sensible move in- augurated by the commission which reached its termination through the broad-minded acquiescence and co-op- eration of the representatives of the power company has brought about many benefits to the ratepayer other than the nearly 100 per cent reduction in rate. It is a fact that since I have been connected with this commission there has been less agitation against the company by the newspapers or the civic organizations; on the contrary, there seems to have been built up a substan- tial volume of good will and friendli- | ness. Less Than 5 Per Cent Held Excessive. “This is all the more apparent be- | cause certain other of the local utili- tles (particularly the transit lines) have come Iu for 2 rather large share of adverse criticism and active opposi- tion, and are constantly the targct of editorials and oratory. Just how much of this is due to fear of an increase in rates and how much the agitation against the companies and the com- mission is intended as threats to pre- vent any changes is_difficult to esti- mate; but the criticism is not directed sgainst the light and power company, and has not been since the compromise | valuation 15 not criticized, although less | than 5 per cent now earned by the trac- | tion lines is looked upon in many quar- ters as excessive.” In conclusion, Mr. Childress said it | seemed to him “that the attitude of understanding and compromise which | has been the policy of this commis- sion all along has brought about a| etter feeling and an actual saving of | money to the people of the District of | Columbia m the power company case |and the telephone case and bids fair | | to accomplish the same in the near fu- ture, where the transit lines are con- cerned.” “Of course,” he added, “thcre are numerous instances of compromise and | adjustments of complaints and criti- | cism which are almost daily taken care of in an informal manner.

Popular colors will be light shades of gray, and browns that show a trend- away from reddish tones to- wards tobacco shades. Even in shirts, plain colors predom- inate, although there is a trend toward fine stripes in combinations of two colors on a ground of another color. Small geometrical figures, grouped stripes and plain colors in neckwear are the general choice for Summer wear. Straws have slightly taller crowns, and shoes are built on the custom _ type of last, with narrower toess SPORTS jackets with the belted back will be numerous this Summer. But, whatever the style may be, attention should be given to the fact that the garment does not disregard comfort for fads of so-called trivial fashions. Buttons are properly placed, pockets practical size, sleeves roomy, upper back wide and lower part sufficiently {ull for proper play over‘hips. Lihen knickers, in oyster white or fancy patterns, are chosen by well- dressed golfers for wear with above jackets. Golf hose should be plain colored to match one'’s ensemble. Shoes with rubber or spiked soles are correct for golf wear. PLAIN effects inflannel trousers and odd jackets to wear with them are the style notes for the Summer season. Two of the most popular colors for jackets are blue and brown, in single or double breasted styles. Flannel trousers will be for the most part white or biscuit color, Striped trousers should harmonize with the jacket. Crepe neckwear or foulards in bold modernistic patterns will be worn by some of the smarter dressed men, but the majority will wear the newer small patterns.
