Three hundred and ninety-six enu-| merators will start out early on thel morning of April 1 to count your nose, your neighbor's“wose and the nose of; every other person in Washington, to, ask you 24 questions which touch on| many phases of your life and to es-, tablish you as a permanent entity in the great collection of Uncle Sam's cit- izenry. Some one once said thatdeath ! and izxes are inevitable. That being the | case, 50 is the census enumerator. Some | time next Summer, after your census' enumerator has asked you the 24 ques-| tions contained in the census popula tion schedule, you will become & part of Uncle Sam’s permanent recorded fam- ily. The Internal Revenue Bureau may, not get you, but the Census Bureau vl‘li If you don't exist, according to some Government or city records. you must | exist in the records of the Census Bu-/ reau. A hundred years or so hence you' will be a ghost, with your name, your| sex, your color, your complete individ- uality. even the fact that you once owned a radio set. recorded for all time in the imperishable records of the Bu- reau of the Census. Uncle Sam sees to it that you do be- come a permanent part of his record, and on April 1 he will set about the task of making you a part. With no embarrassment to the individual, with no reason to search or pry into his per- sonal history. the task of census-taking in a completely impersonal way will start a little more than.a month hence. Most Complete Ever Taken. The forthcoming census, according to J. Sterling Moran, undoubtedly will be the most complete ever undertaken. Mr. Moran is the individual to whom Uncle Sam has intrusted the job of finding out the facts he wants to know abou the 570,000 persons residing in the Dis- trict of Columbia. That figure—570,000 —is tentative and may not mean a thing. But it is as close as the Census Bureau can come to a guess on the population of the Capital City of the United States, as judged by the average annual increase during the years from 1910 to 1920, in the latter of which years the latest previous complete pop- ulation cerfus was taken. Did you know that the United States gains one person in population every 23 seconds of every 24-hour day? Did you know that the population of the United ‘| States at 10 a.m. yesterday was 122,- 048,084, and that if will go on, accord- ing to the tabulatidns of the statistical experts, for countless years to come, with an ine tempo each 10 years? Down there in building D, at Sixth street and Missouri avenue, stands a great arrangement of levers and timing gears, actuated by electricity, which shows graphically the growth of the population of the United States second by second. Ten years ago the statis- ticians got their "heads together over a collection of facts on population as gathered by the 1920 decennial census and decided that these are the facts on_the population of the United States: One birth every 13 seconds. One death every 23 seconds. One immigrant every 11, minutes. One emigrant every 51 minutes. Net gain, one every 23 seconds. PEBECO’S EXTRA AID Here is something to look forward to! You envy lovely white teeth and the charm they bring. Say ‘“PEBECO”’ ‘when you next buy tooth paste. Then look forward to clean teeth, sparkling ‘white teeth, and to teeth saf against decay through PEBECO'S ability to check destructive mouth acids. Look forward to real mouth comfort...and, one more thing, look forward to becoming a PEBECO user for life. Try PEBECO—see if this isn’t absolutely correct.—Advt, SPECIAL NOTICES.

It may or may not be true, but, at any rate, the statisticians say so, and the machine stands there, next to the office of Directo~ of the Census inexorably and m:: grinding out the iigures on population from sec- ond to second, hour to hour, day to day, and until such time as a revision of the population schedules shall de- mand a revision of the estimated fig- ures and tell the experts whether they must slow down or speed up the in- tricate arrangement of cogwheels and compensators by which the machine is actuated. Some time during the coming Sum- mer the Census Bureau will be able to make public a nose-by-nose count of the population of the United States. Then, and then only, can it tell how pear its estimates are to the actual truth of the matter. And even then there may be some mistakes, for peo- ple don’t stay in one spot all the time, and they may be missed wherever they are. But there will not be many missed, the bureau says. And right along that line Mr. Moran asks the co-operation of every resident of the District of Columbia who may happen not to be at home between April 1 and April 15 in leaving informa- . | tion at his residence which will com- plete the census rec#rd. Census pro- cedure makes it mandatory that each person be enumerated at “his usual place of abode,” and in cases where it known the family or members cf it ‘ashinglon during the first two weeks of April, he asks that the absent members fill out an absent family schedule in advance of the cen- sus date and transmit it to him.

In additon to the usual questions asked in previous census years, fifteenth census enumerators will have some new inquiries to make this year. One of the new queries will be “Have you a radio set?” ~Anosher will seek to ascertain whether or not your home is owned or rented, and its value. Still another will seek information concern- ing unemployment and employment. The questions concerning the home are to be asked, the Census Bureau says, to make possible a classification of fam- ilies according to economic status, or buying power, a classification that is desired by individuals and firms using the census figures for organizing selling and advertising campaf ‘The ques- tion on radio sets will give a direct answer to the question as to the size of the potential radio audience. Another new question—the one which asks for age at first marriage—will serve two purposes. In the first place it will give definite information as to the relative age at marriage of persons in different racial and economic groups. In the second place it will make possi- ble a tabulation of important data on the size of families, such tabulation to be based on the number of children re- ported in the families of women who have been ma: & stated number of years, Mr. Moran has not yet worked out all the details of the forthcol count in Washington, jump to their task. Enumerators are paid on a piece work basis—so much for each person enumerated, and the work, under the law, must be completed in the District of Columbia within two weeks. About 1,600 persons already have filed applications for the post of enumerators, and he expects 2,000 ap- plications by March 1, when the appli- cation list will be closed, and the 396 workers chosen. Mr. Moran cstimates that each enumerator will gather the facts concerning 1,500 {o 1,800 persons in Washington. ‘The population of the Capital City of the United States as of January 1, 1920. was 437,571, Will it be 570,000 on April 1, 1930, or will it reach 600,000? ‘The only way to find out is to take an actual nose count. - ..
