.sounds like. Uncle Sam isn’t interest
ed us to whether the wife wears the
bi t eches or not, but dues want to
know how liiany men are dependent
ujxm the, earnings of their children;
h»*\v many woiqeii are .self-supporting.
The head of the family, from the cen
sus p<»int of view, 4s the one who
earns the money.
W hether you live on a farm or in a
town, whether you are white, hlack,
red or yellow, maU' or female, married
or unmarried, alile t(» read and write,
i where you wmo bm-« ami w-here yttur
parents were Imrn, when you came to
i Ameriea if, .V'*u are an immigrant,
; what your native language was and
[whether you can speak English, are
!(juestionH the reasons for which are
I clear enough. On the totals compiled
from these answers depends, among
other things, the number of per^jjs
from your native counfry who can be
admitted to the United States^in the
next ten years.
Everybody who is employed will he
asked to give his trade or oocupatlofr
and the particular industry in which
he or she works, or if working bn his ^
own account or as an employer, to say
so. Hut a question on that line this
year will he: “Are J you^enqvloyqd-^
how?’’ That is a.s of the first of .April.
There will be for the firsf time an,
accurate record of employment, fig
ures on which heretofore hlive been
largely estimates. ,
Another new (luestion will be wlieth- ’
er you own your home. In a general
way the proportion of home-owners
has Iteen estimated in the past, but
I nobody has ever had exact figures.]
' The figures have a decided bearing on'
I the important subject of our )\ational
I prosperity. And if you do not own
I your home, the census man will ask
j you how much rent, you pay. That is
I another useful index of the size of
[the national bankroll. Taking the two
togi'ther, the government will be able
to tell us whether home ownership is
jon the increase, whether there is a

hearing on the lumber industry and
the production of all other building

all .sorts of household equipment and

.Another new census tfUestioft is
whe'ther you own a radio set. Nothing
could better illustrate the speed with
which new inventions take hold, once
they strike the public fancy. Ten
years ago,'when the. census of* 1920
was taken, there wasn’t a radio set in,[
the world except experimental ones;
there was no such thing as broadcast
ing; nobody but a few experts knew
the difference between a heterodyne
and a screen-grid, if,any. Now look
at the blamed thing! 'There are so
many receiving sets that Uncle Sam
is going to count them, to find out.
