Included will be such ques tions as the type of dwelling, condition of the unit and its state of repair. ~ * The census will also determine the number of electrical appli ances, the number of rooms, the wav the unit is heated and what fuel is used for cooking. AQ of this information is use ful to the business man. If he is selling electrical appli ances, he can look and see which areas have fewer and are thus potential markets. He can then look at the per capita incomes for the area and see if they can afford his product. A glance at the number employed and unemployed and the type of work they do will tell a 'prospec tive factory builder what sort of labor supply he can expect. The census bureau adds that relationships between educational attainment and the ability to read and write will help determine educational needs, while agricul tural information is of use not only to farmers, but all buyers and sellers of farm products. After the census is completed, a quality check will be held to de termine the accuracy of the find ings. Especially well trained enumerators will cover a small United States* 1 households in the The enumerators in the quality check will be required to get in formation wily from the person himself, or in specified cases, from a close relative. TTiis check will yield a measure of the completeness of coverage of the census and of the accuracy of information obtained on various subjects. Local Post V.F.W.

SEMI-MONTHLY or ITHty PAYMENTS Y Far Tha Cash You Naad Hay Fever Found To Be For Common Colds The medicines you take in the summer for bay fever are the new- set remedies for Whiter colds This winter they will receive their third common cold she eon tryouts. They are the antlhista- tnlnes, which are a numerous group of drags good for hay fever and Itches and other allergies^ Three doctors have reported this year that these drags, if taken early in a cold, may cure k quickly or shorten the misery. The cures range from eight to ninety per cent, a spread so wide that much more study is needed to learn ex actly what the benefits will be Two years ago Dr. John S. Gor don of Charlotte, N. C„ reported that use of antihistamine drugs on college students were ‘'overwhelm ingly good.” That led him to do a careful study on 600 students last year. He reported the results aa eight per cent of colds seemingly gone and 85 per cent more com fortable and shorter. In January this year, and again in May, Capt. John M. Brewster, U. S. Navy, now at Cornua Chrlsti, Texas, Naval hospital, reported 9i per cent cures when the antihista mine drugs were given within the first hour after a common cold showed up. The percentage dropped rapidly with delays longer than an hour. After the flrat day the hay fever drags had little effect on common colds. Brewster’s work was on 572 cold patients. Dr. Halstead G. Murray of Den nison Manufacturing company, Framingham, Mass., reported that 75 per cent of 494 persons treated with antihistamines during early stages of colds reported they were cured or “had their symptoms al leviated.” Dr. Murray got the Idea from a girls’ school where Dr. George Ga- gllardl reported good anti-cold ef fects of these same drugs. _ JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES Watchtower study Sunday at 4 m.. subject, ‘The True Israel of xi,” continued, also, “Peoples and Nations Going Up to Zion.” Service meeting and Theocratic Ministry School Saturday, 7 p. m.

I just heard a rumor to the effect that there is going to be a spot landing conteet and bombing contest at the breakfast flight Sun day and that the visiting pitots will participate. Sounds like a lot of fun. Don’t go way. The “bomb” you will use is a small bag of flour. The idea is to try to drop K in the center of a circle from a given altitude. This is s rumor and I have not verified It, but I did hear it from two sources. Homecoming Day At Cassatt Church The Cassatt Baptist church will observe Home-comina Day Sun day, Oct 8.
