Washington.—All Turkey stayed at home one Friday recently while 00,000 oilieiuls took 1 lie first census of the Ottoman empire, “Turkey lias made up for tardiness by asking questions far more thorough than appear in the famous first census ,of history,” says a bulletin from the 'Washington headquarters of the Na tional Geographic society. ‘“Take ye the sum of all (he con gregation of 1 lie children of Israel, alter tlieir families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names every male by their polls; from twenty years old and upward, nil that are able to go forth to war in Israel.’ “Thus spoke the Lord to Moses, and Moses, with Aaron’s assistance, col lected the figures for (lie first census report, which may he found In prac tically every home and hotel room. It is appropriately entitled ‘Numbers,’ the fourth book of the Bible. "By its breadth of scope the census William of Normandy ordered for his new kingdom of England, resembles modern surveys. He commanded his minions in 10S3 A. D. to record every lord and peasant, every acre, every ox, every mill, every manor, every wei'r and every plow, the value there of and—this is forward looking—tho natural resources, woods, fields and streams capable of development and revenue. The report lo William the Conqueror became the Domesday Book, unreadable today except by scholars, yet protected in the public record office at London ns one of the most precious possessions of England. Russia’s First Count in 1897. "The United States, although a newcomer in (he ranks of civilization, was one of the first nations to estab lish the modern periodic census. Swo llen took l ho lead before our first cen sus in 1790, but England, France and [Prussia did not see the necessity of regular counting of noses until ten or twenty years Inter. Russia toolc no census until ISO". “Deeply religious settlers of Amer ica nearly upset our first census when they harked back to another less fortunate Bible census. ‘Satan stood ti]v against Israel,’ our ancestors point ed out lo the marshals, ‘and provoked David to number Israel from Beershe- ha even to Dan.’ What happened? ‘God was displeased; therefore lie smote Israel. The Lord sent pesti lence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel 70,000 men.’ “Fears that our first census would bring similar destruction upon the na tion did not materialize, so the mar shals delivered tlioir reports to Pres ident Washington within nine months for all the original states, except Ver mont, Rhode Island and South Caro lina. Vermont and Rhode Island en tered the Union later. The marshal of SontIi Carolina found workers scarce at $1 per 100 heads counted. “Today a visitor at the census bu reau may see the names of famous Americans and the answers given to tho first census takers’ simple ques tionnaires. John Hancock’s family consisted of two ‘free white males of sixteen and upward,’ three white fe males, seven other persons (servants no doubt) and no slaves. Progress in 70 years presents a contrast with data for Abraham Lincoln collected in 1SG0: ‘Age, fifty-one, married, law yer, value of real estate $r>,000—per sonal estate $12,000, Kentucky, place of birth.’ “From one census every ton years the census bureau hjis increased to 101 censuses, in addition to many spe cial surveys such as that made to sup ply data to congress for immigration quotas. One census collected every Week shows the number of babies born. Using these figures the bureau sets up. its large calculator at an ex hibit and every 20 seconds announces to the world that the millions of Americans lias been Increased, for ex ample, by baby No. 118,972,331. Statistics About Buying. “Not content with counting men, women and children, where they work, whether they are in school and if so, how long; not satisfied with tabulatr ing the value of wheat grown and tons of manganese ore dug out of the ground; not resting even with sum ming up the business of hats and hammocks, shoes and sulphuric acid 'manufactured in the United States, 1 the census bureau proposes to ‘com- i plete (lie picture.’ To finish the por- | trait in figures of the whole United States, it is necessary, they say, to have a census of distribution. That means an accounting of what is sold to the housewife over the grocery, drug and meat counters, and of whut the wholesaler sells to the retailer. “Recently the census bureau released its first experimental distribution sur vey for which Baltimore served as a laboratory specimen. Tho weavers of 1 ficures found that in Baltimore 283 Devoted to Local, Mining and General Information, DAHLONEGA, GA., FRIDAY FEBUARY 24.1928. B RI N G T HIS AD TO Clarice Hat Slop Mrs. C. W.

The same survey has been extended to ten other cities; Chicago, Atlanta, Denver, Fargo, N. D.; Kansas City, Providence, San Francisco, Se- fitlle, Springfield, Ill., and Syracuse, N. Y. Some day it will be extended to the whole nation.” Black Bear Gels His Annual “Honey Spree” There is a famous black bear of tho Rocky mountains Hint comes down out of his winter hibernating don on a “honey spree” every spring "'hen he hears the caretakers gelting ready to open Many Glacier hotel in Glacier National park for the summer tourists. Two years ago he went ram pant on lus annual “periodical,” broke into the hotel and smashed dishes right and left in nil eager kitchen ! rummage for sweeps. Last spring the caretaker left a gallon of sirup on the door sill and that sated bruin He went back up the mountain side peacefully licking his chops, and \vns satisfied to cat roofs and herbs for dessert. The offering will become n part ot l he caretaker’s annual expense, since it is cheaper to end the “sweet tooth” craving at the doorstep than have lids audacious “neighborhood” looter run amuck within Hie building. Japs Develop Sweet Tooth Japanese are very fond of soft drinks and ice cream, and the setting up of soda fountains is increasing each year, according to [hillock A. Butts 1 , Tokyo, commercial attache. It is believed that there are about 23 to 30 soda fountains in Tokyo alone. Although this seems to lien small num ber in comparison with tiie number in operation in an American city of the same size, it shows a large gain with in the last two or three years. Most of tlie soda-fountains in use at pres ent are of American make. Nothing but Whisky Could Satisfy Indians That the Indians of a century ago had a strong distaste for prohibition is indicated by an article that ap peared in tho North American Review in April, 1827, credited to Gen. Lewis [Cass, senator and secretary of state. | At the treaty of Chicago, in 1S21, the conyuAsslouers ordered that no spirits should lie issued to tho In dians, and informed them,' in their own manner, that the bungs were driven into the barrels. A deputation of the chiefs was sent to remonstrate against this precautionary measure, and at its head was Topnibe, the prin cipal chief of the Pottawatomie tribe, a man upwards of eighty years of age. Every argument was used to convince them that the measure was indis pensable; that they were exposed to daily murders, and that while in a state of intoxication they were unable to attend to the business for which they were convened. All this was useless and the dis cussion was only terminated by the peremptory refusal of the commission- erg to accede lo their request. “Fa ther,” said the hoary-headed chief when lie was urged to remain sober and make a good bargain for his peo ple, “Father, we care not for the money, nor tho land, nor the goods. We want tho whisky, Give us the Whisky!”—Detroit News. Romances of Industry More than GO subjects involved in the romantic task of taking wealth from underground are depicted in a series of motion pictures prepared b\ the bureau of mines, says Popului Mechanics Magazine, and elaborate equipment, including portable lighting facilities that furnish 12,000,000 candle- power, has lieoii devised for the task. One of the illuminating units is a huge searchlight somewhat Wke that used on airplane landing fields. Fifty trunks of lighting apparatus are em ployed. In filming the “Story of Cop per” many of tho reels were taken S,000 feet below the surface. Early Air-Mail Delivery What may have been tho first suc cessful delivery of mail by air was made 57 years ugo in France. Out of a funss of mail stamps of famed Mights collected liy Harry A. Truby, vice president of the Aero-Philatelic Society of America, is one recording that oil September 23, 1S70, M. Jules Durouf flew from Paris In a balloon with messages to Craconville, France. •U that time Paris was withstanding (ho Prussian siege. Truby’s collec tion of mail stamps includes those used in many pioneering flights over vurious regions of the globe. Potato in First Place Potatoes retain their popularity while fads and fancies come and go, according to .T. W. Strowbridge, prin cipal marketing specialist assistant of the division of fruits ami vegetables. United States bureau of agricultural economics. The potato, Mr. Strow bridge says, is more widely grown than any other commercial vegetable in the country. Today’s Short Slory While cruising about in his ship off Sandy Hook, Captain Peterson saw tigers, giraffes, horses, lions, hippo potamuses and other animals floating about in the water. They were part of a merry-go-round washed away by a storm on the Jersey coast. Ruined Beauty Enid—Did you hear about Alice’s brute of a husband disfiguring her for life? Maude—Heavens, no! Did he throw acid in her face? Enid—No—he slashed lick with a razor across both knees! Between Ladies “Wliat is your job?” “Oh, I check tip other people’s mis takes.” “I should think that would be de lightful.” Over the Road "In my younger days,” the old actor said, "I traveled from one end of the country to the other,” “Well, well,” tho young actor re plied; “just think of that!
