' Rush For Census Job*
The big patronage "feast" that
comes every ten years and is nationwide
in its distribution is now before
politicians in Washington, D. C., in
the thousands of jobs that will be
available in connection with the taking
of the federal census in 1930.
Officials of the census bureau already
have set upon paper the organization
that will be required for the
enumeration. Plans have progressed
to the point of dividing the states
into districts.
There will be 650 supervising districts
in the country. The districts
will not follow lines of congressional
districts, as before. The entire national
census will cost approximately
$40,000,000. Appointment of census
supervisors in most of the states in
the past has been considered patronage"
belonging to the house of representatives.
In only a few instances
have such places been claimed by
senators.
The census plan provides that the
.director.-.of the census shall fix the
rate of comperysation for all persons
connected with the enumeration and
that this rate must not exceed $8 a
day. The work is to begin May 1,
1930 and continue from four to six,
months. Close to 100,000 speciaKbmployes
will be required to take the
census, and the work will be the most
extensive ever undertaken.
The cenusus will ytover statistics
concerning population, agriculture,
manufacture, mines, quarries, Electrical
industries, transportation, births,
deaths, marriages, divorces, wealth,
indebtedness, taxation, state and
municipal finances, current business
and other phases of industrial and
social life,
? Supervisors ten years ago received
from $1800 to $2500 with a bonus of
$1 for each thousand population.
They also, received a? bonus, of.Tour
~ceista"foTreHch f arm irrthelFdlStHcts.
Enumerators received four cents per
name, and their compensation ranged
from $4 to $6 a day.
Mrs. Idell Grantham, 35, mother of
two children, is in jail at Americus,
Gn., charged with having shot her
husband to death last Friday night.
The coroner's jury returned a verdict
of suicide, but relatives of the dead
man were not satisfied with that and
swore ou: the warrant charging the
woman v. ith the killing.
Spinster at 100, Hates
All Men and Is Happy
Boston, England, Feb. 15.?'Miss
Wilhelmina Robinson has reached the
age of 100 year?.
"I detest men," she avowed on
reaching the century mark, "and I
put dowu my long and happy life to
the fact that I was never foolish
enough to marry one."
Miss Wilhelmina wears a frilly cap
and shares her rooms with two milkwhite
cats?both ladies.
"Single women have a far better
life than any wife." said the whitphaired
little spinister. "The girls of
today are a scandal. It is men, men,
all the time." -j
p -Courting and the technique: of proposing?leap
years or any.. yparsr?
merer concerned her at any time, Miss
Robinson declared emphatically.. ?,
~ WI never asked any man to marry
me and no one ever asked me to
marry him," she sfrid. "I always
