The truth about the 1920 census Is that for this year, lust year and next year Its figures are Invaluable, but for the remaining eight years Intervening between this and the next census, ex perts declare, Its figures will lie worth little more than their own historical and Intrinsic phenomenal value. That Is to say, they cunnot be used for the year to year computations that the government and the Industries of the country are accustomed to making. The fourteenth docennlal census was taken on the regular periodic occasion set aside since 1790 for taking the na tional census. In 1820 that proved for the first time to be an unfortunate and not propitious occasion. Of course It was the war that was to blame. For the six years previous to 1920 Im migration hud not only been restricted because of the war in Europe, but an unusual number of our recent Immi grants returned to their native homes and armies to take part In the war. Upward Swing in All Lines. Added to tills, Industrial conditions early became upset In this country. Our munitions and industrial plants took on gigantic mid actually gro tesque capacities and they were flood ed abnormally with labor. Even the per capita wealth of the country swung well over toward the golden ern during this period. The contrast of unemployment, di minishing wealth of the mass of the people, shutdown of mills nnd the I turning flood of immigration witnessed during the last six months Is the best example of how useless the figures taken in 1920 will be a year or two from now.
