Census Plans Will
Give 150,000 Jobs
Commerce Department Asks
Statistical Surveys.
Washington.?Three important sta
tistical projects, endorsed by the cen
sus bureau, will provide. If finally ap
proved as part of the national re-em
ployment drive. Jobs for more than
ISO,000 persons for varying periods.
The projects are, first, a census of
population and unemployment with an
estimated cost of $16/100,000; second,
a census of business activities, with an
estimated cost of about $8,000,000 or
(9,000,000, and, third, an alphabetical
index by geographic units and by fam
ilies, of all individuals In the United
States returned In the census of 1900,
to cost about $2,000,000.
The total estimated cost would thus
be $20,000,000 or $27,000,000.
Estimated employment for these
three projects Is 125,000, 25,000 and
2,000, respectively. The Department
of Commerce, in behalf of the census
bureau, has submitted requests to the
division of applications and Informa
tion of the Works Program adminis
tration for grants to cover the second
and third projects.
Cheek on Unemployment.
The first project, a census of popu
lation, employment and unemployment,
has received a favorable recommenda
tion from a cabinet committee appoint
ed to consider the matter, made up of
Secretaries Roper and Perkins and Ad
ministrator Harry Hopkins.
Five different bills for an unemploy
ment census are now pending before
congressional committees. None has
received the approval of the budget
bureau. The proposed census of pop
ulation and employment depends,
j therefore, on a grant from the $4,000,
000,000 works-relief appropriation. The
final decision now rests with President
I Roosevelt.
The second project, that for a cen
sus of all business activities, except
agriculture and manufacturing, will be
started, if funds are granted, Qn Janu
ary 1, 1936, to cover the calendar year
1935. Under the plans prepared by the
Department of Commerce, administra
tive headquarters will be locflfted at
Baltimore. The census will assemble
basic information on the number of
operating units, employment, pay rolls,
receipts and other data for all business
enterprises.
Census of the Aged.
The third project, that for an al
phabetical index, is to assemble in
formation concerning the ages of in
dividuals covered by recent state and
federal old-age pension legislation. Un
der the economic security law alone
it is estimated that the census bureau
will be asked to furnish evidence of
age for at least 350,000 and perhaps
as many as 500,000 applicants for old
age pensions during the first years of
the operation of the law.
For five or ten years thereafter the
applications will probably run about
100,000 annually. To conduct hun
dreds of thousands of searches in the
original census schedules would quick
ly destroy them.
The census bureau plans to locate
this indexing job at Philadelphia.
v Irish Wrestling Champ
Following his sensational victory |
over the so-called invincible Greek, Jim
Ixmdos, Danno CFMahoney, Irish heavy- |
weight champion, is recognized as the
world's heavyweight wrestling cham
pion in New York, Pennsylvania, Illi
nois, California and about 24 other
states.
Complex Rules Govern
Sale and Use of Oleo
Mobile, Ala.?If you have a boarding
house, don't serve oleomargarin. But
if you do, don't mix coloring into it
yourself. To do so will subject you
to a manufacturer's license?if Uncle
Sam finds It out And such a license
cost $600.
These and other warnings have been
Issued by the internal revenue bureau.

the coloring for it but if he shows
the buyer how to mix it. he can be

"Finis" Written for
Last Private Bank
Cincinnati.?The final chapter in
the history of what was believed
to have been the last privately
owned bank In the United States
was written in the office of the
clerk of courts here recently.
"Finis" was written when all
books, papers and records of the
Citizens' Bank of Harrison, Ohio,
were deposited In a vault.
The bank was founded more
than 50 years ago by Frank Bowles,
Its sole owner. Two years ago
Bowles decided to retire and with
the approval of the state banking de
partment started liquidating his
bank. All creditors were paid In
full.
SEEING THE
CITY
by
LEONARD A. BARRETT
In every large city we are greeted
by a crier?"Enjoy a sightseeing trip,
i?u uuuars iwr a
three - hour ride/'
We pay our money
and take the ride.
On the return joifr
ney we are inter
ested In a number
of persons who ex
press great satis
faction in having
"seen the city/'
Their remarks re
mind us of the lady
who rather boast
Ingly wrote a club
paper on, "Seeing
Rome In a day!*
What did our friends see on tills three
hour motor trip? True, they saw tall
buildings, the exterior of the art mu
seum, houses upon whose construction
fortunes were spent, perhaps they saw
the stock market and maybe the zoo.
They saw many visible objects, but the
real city they completely failed to see,
for that Is Invisible?Its music, libra
ries, neighborhood houses, hospitals,
churches, universities and homes. The
real city is sort of spiritual thing; the
aspirations, struggles, ambitions, suc
cesses as well as failures of Its popu
lation.

his true inner soul the moment he sets

Science Scores Again
To medical science, food poisoning
had been a baffling mystery for the
last 30 years, and until now modern
physicians were far from solving the
puzzle of the strange and sometimes
fatal illness caused by tainted foods.
But, before an intent audience, R. V.
Stone. Los Angeles county health de
partment researchist, described how he
has finally Isolated the staphylococci
of food poisoning, adding to medical
science's seventy-odd known bacteria
another recognized and combatable
germ. The secret was revealed at the
American Association of Science Pacific
sectional meeting at the University of
California at Los Angeles.
he starts out to see what the city has
to offer we may find him in the dens
of vice, gambling joints or gangster
quarters; we may find him quietly sit
ting in one of its great cathedrals, or
studying the collection of art in one
of its museums or listening to lectures
in one of Its great universities.
The reaction within one who sees
the city for the first time Is most In
teresting. Some are overwhelmed by
Its size, rush and congestion. They
never dreamed it was like this. Others
I are depressed, fall to see the meaning
of it all and find themselves victims of
a hit of home sickness. They miss the |
odor of roses, the beauty of trees and
songs of birds as well as that majestic J
thing called silence.
It Is also interesting to discover that
while once the tide was away from the
country to the city, the opposite Is now
true. Many persons, tired of the lm
personallsra of city life, are returning
to small towns and rural life. The city
has much to offer to one who truly de
sires to see Its Inner life, but very
little to offer to one whose capacity to
see Is limited by the outward things
which glitter. Wherever they are, the
world they see without is but a reflec
tion of the Inner world of heart and
spirit What you see as well as what
you think determines what you are.

Seven Chintz Wedding Gifts Ranging From the Apron to the Hot Dish Holder
THE second anniversary of a mar
riage day Is called the calico wed
ding or the chintz wedding, as pre
ferred. The latter name Is not only
more up-to-date, but. In terms of ac
curacy It ranks a degree higher. Cal
ico originally was Just as apt to be
unpatterned. The very name comes
from the Hindu word "chlnt," signify
ing painted or stained, and pertains
to the fast coloring of designs or varl
gated staining or painting. Calico
comes from the name of the port of
export, Calicut In India, where fine
cotton cloth was woven, and might or
might not have designs on It. It was
the foundation textile for the "chlnt"
work. In America the name calico was
the quaint one for printed cotton
cloth In which designs were generally
small, and a bit crude.
With the understanding of the two
words calico and chintz, it remains for
personal preference to decide which
to call the wedding anniversary, the
calico or the chintz wedding, although
it is maintained that the latter Is the
accurate one.
Assuming that you all agree that
chintz wedding It shall be, let me sug
gest ways of celebrating the day, and
gifts appropriate to the occasion. The
invitations stress the kind of wedding
when they are sent out on chintz sta
tionery, which, as you know. Is of
cross-bar design in two or more colors
or tints.
Chintz Costuming
The hostess wears a genuine chintz
dress or a cotton print which may be
stretched, In textiles, to mean a printe^
silk. The women guests should wear
chintz or printed frocks, and the men
follow the groom's lead in wearing
neckties of printed cotton, as found
In summer ties, or of silk in print
styles.
Gifts of chintz articles can range
from one, two, or more pairs of chintz
window draperies, or Just the tie-backs.
The giver should be guided In the se
lection of the pattern and color to go
with the homemaker's decorative
schemes, either by consulting her be
forehand, by presenting the pair or
pairs subject to exchange, or by show
ing samples for selection on the an
niversary.
The tie-backs can be given without
such meticulous care, as they are not
so Important Smart tie-backs are
very inexpensive when made of circles
2% or 3 Inches in diameter, each gath
ered around the turned-in edge to form
a little floral cup. Sew these on wide
white or green tape, spacing them to
touch and allowing enough plain tape
to tie about the tie-back hook. Differ
ent pieces of chintz in differing pat
terns and colors are effectively used
for these tie-backs and odds and ends
can be used thriftily and with equal
success.

Training Future Aces of Navy

first 12 hours, the budding airmen are sent to the naval air station at Pensacola,
Florida, for a year's training, after which those successful are designated as
naval aviators and are ordered to three years' duty at good pay. Before the
actual flight Instruction starts, however, the young men, preferably college
graduates, are put through a rigid aeries of tests for eyesight, balance and
other perception!. The picture shows a student aviator having his vision tested.

Japanese Women Workers
Quarterly Iteview, Ixmdon, con
tains an article as to conditions
among factory workers In Japan.
The writer tells of the 1,000 young
girls in a cotton-spinning factory
near Osaki, who, far from a "sweat
and-martyr" condition, often reported
for Japanese women workers, lived
in spotless, airy halls with every com
fort. They are fed well for 1.1 sen
(5 cents) a day, by a management,
who deducts this amount from their
wages. For clothes and recreation,
the workers spend 20 cents a day.
