CENSUS BY MACHINERY. HOW AMERICA COUNTS HLU MILLIONS. A THREE-YEAR JOR. The American census is now in full swing. The work of counting the population is being performed by an army oi 100,000 enumerators, men and women, who are engaged in all parts of the country filling out complex schedules for each family in the United States.

It will be three years before all the results are tabulated. America was one of the first of modern nations to provide by law for a regular census, bince thej foundation of the Ut-ion the census has been taken every ton years without tail, the 1950 count being: tho'lsth of the series. The first census, taken in 1790, rovcaled a population of over 125,000.000, two and a half times greater than the population of Great Britain. America's 15th census is unquestionably the most important and expensive statistical task ever undertaken by any Goernment. Many new features have been introduced into tne questionnaire.

It is fai more than a simple census; it provides for the gathering of important information about agriculture, irrigation, drainage unemployment, mines and manufacture. Years have been spent on the necessary preparations in order that the complicated machinery of enumeration shall run smoothly and efficiently. HOURS AND PAYMENT. The mere instruction and management of the enumerators calls tor a large clerical and managerial staff. Before appointment, every enumerator had to pass a caretully chosen test in order to demonstrate his fitness for the work notwithstanding that the task appears to be tairly simple.

Each enumerator is equipped with a supply ol forms contained in a portfolio, on toe cover ot which is a map of his district. He must visit each dwelling place in his district and a responsible member of every tainily. Fallot, to answer census questions is punishable with penalties, and the law also provides for penal ues upon auv enumerator who publishes any information that may come into his possesion. To ensure proper local supervision, the country is divided into 574 districts, each one under a supervisor, usually a prominent local man. the Supervisors receive daily reports from their enumerators, giving particulars of persons and farms visited.

The enumerators are not required to deliver their schedules until they have completed their tasks. As they are paid on a piece work basis they are not required to any fixed hours, but each must take the census ior his district within a certain specified a fortnight for city areas and a month for rural districts. Payment is made at tho rate of twopence a person enumerated, with a special increase for farms. The basis of the census is the family, which means for census purges' any group of persons living together in the same dwelling place. The members of a family need not be related to each ether.

Thus guests- in an hotel are members of a family; so are in a prison. HOME MAKERS." Special attention is being directed to the of the home in which the family lives. The questions relating to this have incorporated at the instance of business interests who will use the information ob'ained as a basis for their selling and advertising campaigns. Another new feature is the elevation in the ttatus of women engaged in housework, who are being classified as home makers." The vast array of information which must be collected and tabulated both accurately and quickly makes it vitally necessary that perfect mechanical equipment should be used. Only by mechanical means could the figures be tabulated within the three year period laid down by law.

A card system of tabulation is used. The various details are transferred ifrom tho schedules to cards by means of an automatic punch, the position of the hole on the card indicating the particular fact recorded. The punched cards are first run through a tabulating machine to count the totaJ, numbers of the population in a few simple classes; next they are divided into groups according to sex, colour, and birth-place by an automatic sorting machine which can handle 400 cards a minute. Then the cards are run several times in different 'combinations through an electric tabulating machine at the same rate. This machine not only counts the cards, but records 60 items of information relative to the individual, and prints the results on large sheets.

Were it not for these machined a census would be almost impassible. The cost of labour would be prohibitive, and by the tune the fijrirres were Teady for publication they would be out of date. 31. BRUNO'S SIGNIFICANT INTERVIEW. FRANCE AND THE ITALIAN NAVAL PROGRAMME.

The Paris newspapers to-day comment on the fact that M. Briand, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, received M. de Beaumarchais, tne French Ambassador in Rome, yesterday, says Reuter. The London conference, declares the newspaper Le Journal." as shown the necessity of dealing fundamentally with tho problem of Franco-1 tali an relations. The publication of the new Italian naval programme gave added interest to this interview.

Our comment on the new programme will be the same as that which we made on the German that they were to be taken seriously but not tragically. France has a considerable start in her sub-marine force. Italy is trying to catch up. If this position continues France will be compelled to make clear tho margin of security which she considers indispensable. Thus, in order to avoid an armament race, it is essential to settle all misunderstandings and establish relations between the two countries on such a footing that they will not try to compete.

LABOUR'S BUSY WEEK-END. MAY DAY CELEBRATIONS ALL OVER THE Labour is celebrating May Day to-day and to-morrow, processions and speeches being the order of the day all over the country.

Nearly every Labour M.P. when he left the House last evening, had a May Day engagement front of him.

A SHORT LESSON IN DOMESTIC HUMILITY. HEAPING COALS OF FIRE.

My dear," said my wife coaxingly, I want you to do something for me. and I know you will." Well? I inquired disinterestedly (writes H. L. Gee). I bought a pair of rubber soles at Old Dobbin's this morning," she told me, and I want you to put them on my brown shoes." Really, my dear," I remonstrated rather ungraciously, I don't see why I should turn cobbler.

You seem to forget that I have very little time to spare." I am not a handy man (and 1 don't intend to be one and my time is far too precious for me to spend it in fastening rubber soles on shoes! Besides, lam a person of some consequence. 1 say this modestly, of course, but nevertheless 1 know it. However, Judith wanted those rubber soles fixing. She explained that Old Dobbin (we always refer to Mr. P.

Dobson in that way) was not well and that his dear, slow little woman who never knows where to find anything in the offered to fasten the soles on the shoes, but Juajith assured her that I could do it. So I took the rubber soles and rolled up my sleeves and went in search of the hammer. Eventually I found it in my had been hanging some pictures a few days before then 1 began a hunt for the last! I can't find the last," I grumbled unpleasantly. "I shall not be able to knock the soles on, and I don't see why I should have to turn cobbler, and I really haven't time this evening, and I wish to goodness "I think I saw it in the tool-shed," Judith declared brightly. "You'd better go and look there now Unwillingly I went.

Peter joined in the hunt, and he and I spent five dusty minutes searching. Once Peter gave a shout of triumph, but it was not the last he had discovered. It was his old wooden engine. "I'm so glad I've found it," he assured me. "I know where the wheel is, and if I fetch it will you nail it on for me?" "No!" I said.

I am not often so thoroughly disgruntled, but really I was angry about the cobbling affair. I thought Judith unkind to make a tired husband come home to manual labour I'll do nothing of the kind," I retorted. Peter begged. THE FIRST AND THE LAST. I'll do nothing of the kind," I reorted.

He was surprised and grieved at my tone, and I was heartily ashamed of myself. You'd better help me to find the last first," I said in conciliatory tones. So we hunted about again, and presently we found it behind some ant-pots, and the pair of us went into the scullery. I put the last on the table and set to work to hammer a sole on. But the sound of my heavy hammering was multiplied by the hollow table, and Peter covered his 4ars with his hands, and very soon Judith came running into the scullery, saying, T'le neighbours will think the house is coming down!" I hammered away regardlessly.

Any sensible person would put the last on the my wife informed mo. "That's what I fort!" Peter declared. Without a word I put the last on the floor, and knelt down to continue my knocking. Unfortunately my left knee rested heavily on the paper of tacks supplied with tho rubber soles, and I suddenly sprang to my feet again with a cry of pain and anger. Peter observed calmly, I fort you might do that, Daddy!" I did not reply, but hurried into the kitchen for a cushion that my kneeling might be more comfortable and less dangerous.

When I returned, the hammer was missing, and as Peter had also disappeared I conouded that the two might be found together. I discovered Peter near the coalhouse. "My boy," I snapped, how do you expect me to get those shoes done without a hammer You weren't using it," he replied. I just put it down for a moment whilst I went to find a cushion 1" Well, I only jus' picked it up for a minute so's I could hammer a nail into my old engine so's the wheel would stop on, that's all, and I do wish you'd do someting for me." You're in the light I said sharply as I knelt down warily on the cushion and began hammering again in no pleasant mood. Will you knock that nail in when you've finished Mum's shoes?" No." Why?" I haven't time." You've time to do fings for I haven't!" Why do you do them, then?" I hammered furiously.

"Are you afraid of Mum?" I looked up from the floor, and was about to reply when he burst out laughing. What's the joke?" I demanded truculently. He threw back his head and laughed peal after peal of merry, natural, spontaneous laughter. Then he ran into the dining-room calling, Mum, jus' come and look at Daddy! He looks so funny kneeling on the floor, and sometimes-he can't hit the tacks!" THE MIGHTY FALLEN! A moment or two later he returned, dragging his mother by the hand, and the pair of them brought chairs into the scullery and sat down deliberately in order to watch me They laughed at me. They talked about me.

They remarked on my hair. Peter brought his drawing-book, and began making a sketch of me, but he and Judith laughed so much that the picture was never finished. "I do wish he'd hurry up," Peter remarked, 'cos I want him to knock a nail into my wooden engine." Do you think I shall do that after the way you have treated me?" I demanded. He wasn't sure wether I was Teally angry or whether I. was only pretending.

I was not quite sure myself. I hope you will," he said. "You'll see what I shall do!" I growled. "Doesn't he sound terrible?" Judith exclaimed. "You will see!" I muttered.

And at last tho last nail was driven in, and the rubber soles weTe on Judith's brown shoes. Then I got up from my cushion, swung my hammer ominously -round my head, and frowning terribly I strode into the garden whore I fastened the wheel on PeteT's wooden engine. I fort you were going to do somefing terrible he said. Peter." said 1 (not without a little self-consciousness), I am heaping coals of fire on your head I am returning good for evil After all, it does us all good to climb down from our dignity and to stoop to do lowly things, and it is Peter's importunity and Judith's sweet which help to keep me human and humble. It is good for us to do the things we don't want to do 1 SAFEGUARDING BALLOT AT HUftDERSFIELD.

CLEAR MAJORITY IN FAVOUR. At the Huddersfie'id Chamber of Commerce Council meeting yesterday, the result of a ballot taken upon the subject of Safeguarding was announced. It was stated that the total voting power of the Chamber was 772. and that the question put to tho members was: "Are you in favour of Safeguarding." Tho Te6tilt of "the ballot was as follows In favour 413 Against 62 Neutral 2 Non-voters 295 Clear majority 64 Including the non-voters and neutrals with those who voted against, the ballot therefore gives a clear majority of tho members of the Chamber in favour of Safeguarding.

The rumours of a new orientation of policy, which have been current since the recent visit of the Austrian Chancellor to Rome, are best dispelled in a few moments of conversation with Herr Schober himself. There is nothing of the scheming politician about this little white-haired debonair man; nor is it easy to conceive him as the police commissioner he used to be before destiny called him to his present high position. When he tells one, therefor he told mo last his visit to Italy was merely in harmony with Austria's general foreign policy, which is the elimination of all possible unfriendly misunderstandings between his country and other European Powers, it is easy to beiieve him. Europe, in Herr Schober's opinion, is too poor to indulge in political or military alliances, and it is the speeding up of negotiations for commercial treaties which is tho object which he aims at in visiting the European capitals. His present visit to London is to pave the way to the successful flotation of an Austrian development loan.

He is certainly an inspiring advocate of the possible resources of his country, and to hear him talk of the latent energy still to be developed from Alpine waterfalls, and the flow of Father Danube, makes one regret that we are for ever troubled with black coal instead of blessed with white. PARLIAMENT AS SHOW PLACE. As was the case when the Socialists were last in office, there is a marked revival of interest in the Houses of Parliament. They are being -used increasingly also by teachers as a means of giving reality to history. To-day I saw a ass of about 50 small boys being conducted through the building, and having its points of interest explained to them.

The constable on duty in the Central Hall seemed to know more about the place than the member who was nominally in charge of the party. The time is approaching when the Government will have to consider the appointment of a professional guide to take visitors round. Such an official relieve members of a tedious task, which occupies more time than some of them can afford, and would make tho tour more instructive. WOMEN AND BETTING. Tho Tote seems to have laid women racegoers under a spell.

They are so fascinated by it that they bet on every race, and some of them not all gradually getting quite clever at working out how much they are likely to win from the odds they have laid on their fancy. When I was at Epsom this week I noticed that the beginners at the game never moved very far away from the huge notice board on which the total of the pool is chalked up. The grandstand, or any vantage point from which they could view the actual race, was neglected altogether, and they simply waited in the paddock, after handing their money through the small window and getting their ticket, until the winner's number went up. Many of them never saw a race at all during tho whole afternoon. AT BURLINGTON HOUSE.

This year's Royal Academy Show suffers inevitable deadly comparisons with the. recent Italian art Exhibition. It wears rather the aura of the Derby dog- But there are quite a number of interesting though the portraits somehow lack distinction. Perhaps the fault ijes more with the sitters than the painters. Munnings' picture of Princess Mary hunting is the best thing of the kind 6een for a long time.

Orpen is well represented like LaveTy and tho rest, but his finest canvas is an early study of a mother and child. Lavery's Lord Melchett is a revealing study, but Augustus John's portrait of Tallulah, and still more so of Earl Spencer in uniform, suggests merciless irony. Greiffenhagen has some attractive portraits, but over does the sunburn. THE R.A. PHOTOGRAPHS.

The general comment at the Royal Academy yesterday, is the absence of the life-size painting of the King in State robes, and also the fact that the Jagger painting of the Queen is tucked away in one of the minor galleries. It is customary for one of the R.A.s to make a painting of the King for hanging in the R.A.. but the illness of last year interforred, for the second time, with the usual procedure. Mr. Jagger has done well in painting the Queen in a sitting position, and by general consent it ii one of the best portraits of her Majesty exhibited for years- I wonder if, when the King and Queen view it on Sunday week, this portrait will eventually find way to St.

James's Palace, whsre copies of a full-length painting of their Majesties are made for presentation to the British Legations Friendly and the Tote Royal Academy Exhibition. abroad, and also for presentation to various civic halls in the country. It will be a worthy successor to the painting which has been doinf? duty for this purpose for several years one copy of which hangs in the Locarno Room tho Foreign Office. NEWSPAPER MAGNATE. Mr.

Adolp Ochs, who arrived from New yesterday, is ono of the magnates of the America 0 Press. In the course of the last 30 years he flC made the New York Times the most lucrative property of its kind in tho United States, if in the world, and has done so while making llS paper the least sensational a.nd the most accurate on the other side of the Atlantic. Mr. Ochs is a cheerful gentleman of a volent aspect, which is a true reflex of l9 character. His relations with his staff have paternal element not usually found in America" business, and the great organisation he has bud' up is permeated by personal loyalty to him.

PROBLEM PICTURES. There are more conscientious nudes than usual this year, and fewer landscapes, but pictures and still-life studies abound. The latter are often wonderfully fine. Mark Symons a powerful Crucifixion scene, with a modern crowd round the conventional figure. It is indictment of modern civilisation; and another artist in the same vein is Keating, with grotesque "Homo Sapiens." Those canvasses will arouse much discussion, and there will be some guessing about Youth and Age," by Souter, which depicts a young Adonis gazing into a handmirror that reflects a middle-aged greyhaired man in horn-rims.

Lots of people fascinated these days by charm of the many young Japanese visitors 4 London. They scorn so inscrutable, and such air of mystery surrounds them, that they are mi' more interesting than other foreign visitors 1 en obvious approachable manner. But I 6aw a 'little human incident in a bu 9 yesterday which showed our Japanese friends new light. A very young couple from ihe East, not long married apparently, got in and down, and, just as the bus was starting, tn husbnnd got down on one knee itn great difficult and removed his wife's shoe. Evidently a ti fl stone had got into it, and was her d' comfort.

They both giggled in the happiest 0 sible way, and, after the bit of grit had bee? removed, and just as the bus was swinging roi' a corner and had flung his head against hor he produced a little ivory shoe horn from 9 pocket, fitted the slipper on, buttoned it gravelJ' and sat down again beside his wife.

Ziegfeld does not consider colouring the first essential to beauty. That distinction, in his opinion, belongs to the nose. A good nose," he said. is the most important feature a girl can have. Of course, she must also have beautiful eyes, hair, and figure, but her nose comes first." Then the Chin.

After the nose comes the chin, because these are the first things we look at in judging a person's face. Mr. Ziogfeld did not specify what sort of ohm he thought most acceptable, but his two most beautiful girls have well-shaped chins not showing too firm a line nor too strong a determination. Souvenirs. American souvenir hunters, it is reported, are busy at the old Middlesex town of Uxbridge, whore one of them has already carriod off a box made of part of an oak beam from the parish church.

This sounds an extremely sensible souvenir when compared with some of the articles Americans collect and take back with them to gloat over in the States. Mud and Beer Labels. Last year one woman took back a cigar box containing a pioce of authentic mud from tho Boy Scouts' Jamboree at Arrowe Park. A New York business man was boyishly delighted to secure a bit of stone from the British Houses of Parliament. Still another Transatlantic souvenir fan boarded the home-going steamer cherishing a collection of labels from English boer-bottles! Too Appealing.

A certain North Country bowler who played for England v. Australia in 1926 has a habit of "appealing." In one of the Tests his "How's that?" was so frequent that of the spectators commenced to barrack." When the players returned to their dressing-room Reeves, the umpire, chaffed the offending bowler, winding up with There's only one man in the world who appeals more than you do!" Oh." exclaimed the cricketer. And ho is that?" Dr. Barnardo was Reeves quick reply. Billiards Relic.

A relic of billiards in Stuart times was a curious old 17th century billiards table sold at Sotheby's yesterday for £65. It is only of value as a museum piece, for the hair-stuffed cushions have no resilience, the pockets arc wide enough to let in two of the small ivory balls abreast, and the old cues are thin and of feather-weight. There is some line old oak in it, however. An old English tapestry panel of a hunting eeaae, formerly at BeHon House, fetched £580. Parents' Sacrifice.
