CHUDREN WILL AID
WORKERS IN CENSUS
Importance of Proving Popu

TEACHERS ARE ENLISTED
I
City Superintendent Grout Acts!
ITpon Request of Chamber for '
Co-operation in Canvass. I
Through the efforts of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce and W.
I. Bennett, supervisor for the Third
congressional district in the federal
census, thousands of the city's school
ohildren today will hear direct from
their teachers of the great import
ance of proving Portland's population.
From the office of D. A. Grout, super
intendent, there went forth last night
a letter calling attention to this sub
ject and instructing that classes be
termed at once to learn of the need
of co-operation with the enumerators.
The speed with which City Super
intendent of Schools Grout acted
when asked by Supervisor Bennett
and O. W. Mtelke, chairman of the
Chamber of Commerce committee on
census co-operation, is an example of
the way Portland organizations are
responding when asked to do some
thing to help arouse public sentiment
to the need of lending the enumera
tors aid In getting not only the num
ber of people living in the city, but
all of the other Information called
for by the government for statistical
purposes.
Blanks to Be FurnlihPd.
Superintendent Grout was not seen
a oat the subject until yesterday
morning and by late In the afternoon
lad completed plans whereby every
teacher in the public schools of the
city will be apprised of the Impor
tance of the census, not only from
the population standpoint, but also
from the commercial point of view.
Blanks with the questions asked by
enumerators will be sent to each
teacher and they will be asked to in
form their pupils about the situation.
explaining the vital Importance of
some one being In each home to greet
the enumerators when they call and
to be ready with the information they
seek.
"Through the teachers we will en
deavor to instruct the pupils particu
larly regarding the Importance of co
operation by families." said Mr. Grout.
"Each teacher will etate the case to
the pupils In her room in language
best suited to the pupils. The effort
will be to have the children carry the
message home and thereby help to
Impress their elders with the need of
aiding enumerators. This, of course,
will hold especially true In sections
where many foreigners live, as It is
found that many of these have a fear
that giving certain Information will
result in an Injury of some kind, such
as increased taxation, etc."
Naturalization Gives Trouble.
"I must express my gratitude at
the hearty eo-operatlon that is being
given this office In arousing the citi
seni to the Importance of the census,
said Supervisor Bennett , last night.
"Since the newspapers began explain
ing the urgent necessity of co-operation,
the enumerators have been able
to do much faster work, so that we
are now making better progress than
I had anticipated. In many Instances,
where people read the dally papers,
there Is a clear understanding of the
facts, but In quarters where they do
not read much we meet with most of
our difficulties.
"The hardest proposition we have
tackled is that concerning naturaliza
tion. Many foreigners have no Idea
that It is Important to give the exact
date of their arrival in this country
or of the date of naturalization, if
they are citizens. But the government
must have the correct data to compile
Ke statistics accurately, and that is
one of our hardest jobs."

local bench, took over the duties of

yesterday morning, succeeding Judge

"If ever a country deserved equal
lights and equal justice it is this

to a brief, but very complimentary
speech of welcome by Attorney Har

so long as I hold this position It shall
be my constant aim to mete out

the person or persons hit."
The court was opened by Sheriff

ACTRESS TELLS SECRET
Tells How to Darken Gray Hair With
a Home-Made Mixture.
Joicey Williams, the well-known
actress, who was recently playing at
the Imperial Th-atre in St Louis,
made the following statement about
gray hair and how to darken It:
"Anyone can prepare a simple mix
ture at home that will darken gray,
streaked or faded hair, and make It
soft and glossy. To a half-pint of
water add 1 ounce of bay rum. a
small box of Barbo Compound, and
"i4 ounce of glycerine.
These Ingredients can be bought at
any drug store at very little cost.
Apply to the hair twice a week until
the desired shade is obtained. This
will make a gray-haired person look
twenty years younger. It does not
color the scalp. Is not sticky or
greasy and does not rub off. Adv.

Theories and Now Look
At the Result!
The year of. the World's Fair at Chicago the
"Columbian Exposition" an optical company was
formed to do business a certain way.
That company was the "Columbian"
and it had its own ideas about how the
public should be served, optically.
It stuck to those ideas and what is
the result today? Seven fine stores
in seven different cities from the Missouri river to the
Pacific coast and from Texas almost into British
Columbia !
It has grown because it had the right idea about
what the public wants. It is alive, progressive, per
fectly willing at any minute to adopt and install any
new method or new equipment that will give the cus
tomer increased satisfaction."
