Starch wdro used. In order to get tho
desired stiffness, It Is usually necos
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and flnoncss of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys tho
appearance, but also affects the wear-
ing quality of tho goods. Thin trou

Defiance Starch, as It can bo applied
much moro thinly because of its great

OR the thirteenth time in

cle Sam Ih gottlng ready
to count noses. Census
taking will occupy all
his ciiorgics in 1910, but
even to day ho Is getting
ready for that Herculean
task. It is tho biggest
thing the United States
docs onco In every ten
years, but to day the sys
tem for its accomplishment has no
peers nnywhero in tho world.
Tho ronsorv is because America
now has a permanent census bureau,
ono which Is nlways making prepara
tions for tho next dccade'B count.
Tho country's solons will go down
Into the public treasury this winter
for $14,000,000 for tho 1910 census,
and of that sum, $1,500,000 is for
raalntalnenco of a permanent bu
reau. Speaking In smnllcr figures, It
costs tho United States government
17 cents for counting each and every
man, woman, boy and girl onco in
ten years. It costs just as much to
count John D. Rockefeller as it does

THE NEWLY -PERFECTED r
TABULATING MACHINE C.
of this country has increased 20 per
cent, since tho last census was
taken In 1900 and according to con
servative guesses by men who aro
qualified to know, tho number ofi
persons should total In tho neighbor
hood of 90,000,000. As a conso
quenco statisticians have arrived at
tho decision that in 1920 the popula
tion will touch tho 100,000,000 mark.
The census of 1910 is to cost tho
people llttlo more than that of 1900
for tho reason that machines, which
aro wonderful in their ninkoup, have
been Invented by members of tho
census bureau and theso do far greater work than
tho old stylo counting devices in usn Whnn ,
Job wns started nine years ago.
Thcro arc two styles of machines ono Is tho
card punching devico and tho other, tho tnhnintm-
Tho first punches tho holes in tho census cards,
wnicn aro arranged mucn ns In tho conventional
enrd indox. Tho wonderful tnbulntinf rtlnoltlnn
then takes tho pasteboards and solely by mechan
ical menus adds, classifies and makes up totals
from tho cards, which pass through the dovlco '
faster than tho oyo can follow them. Both ma-
chines nro essential and each is dependent upon
uio outer ror success.
The now card punching machine, which s a
great Improvement upon tho old system, Ib an
electrical contrivance. Hitherto the operator was
compelled to play upon It like a typist, buc to-day
all that is necessary Is to touch tho koy desired,
press a lover and tho machlno keeps or punching
cards as long as tho power Is kept on. Tho old
hand puncher wa3 capablo of sond'ng out 900
cards each day while tho new automaton attalnB
a speed of 3,500 and saves tho operators nerves.
Another feature of theso now machines is that
tho United States will soon know, after tho cards
havo been turned in by tho great umy of statistics-gatherers,
just where It Btandu on population.
Classification Is also a great feature, divisions
being made of whites, bjacks, und othor races,
along with females, males, natives, foreigners,
married and single persons.
Ono hundred and fifty of these now machines
aro in tho process of construction for tho censtis
taking of 1910. Threo thousand persons will do
tho clerical work in tho government offices at
Washington. So you see there is something to
this census taking business.
Director North of tho census declnres that as
soon as tho Incoming cards aro punched ho will
bo nblo to glvo to tho country tho total. Tho
tabulating machines aro now a closely guarded
secret in a llttlo machlno shop nt tho census
bureau offices In Washington and at last nccounts
tho experts at work upon it wero perfecting tho
detnils of Its construction. It is a government
invention and no ono person gets tho credit for it,
but it will revolutionize tho business of counting
noses.

Tho conditions each ten
yearn were bo much dif
ferent from those of tho
decado previous that
oven though tho samo persons woro given tho
caro of tho ofllccs connected therewith, they found
themselves nt sea within n few days. Now, how
ovor, tho pormanelit census bureau makcB tho
counting of tho population a business for nil tlmo
with Uncle Sam and this gigantic Job will bo
given (he attention of hla wenthor oyo from day
to day, though the fruits of the work will bo
thrust Into tho public gnzo only onco In ton years.
Men who nro exports on taking tho census of
countries declnre that tho system by which tho
government will take tho count In 1910 Is admit
tedly a model which tho wliolo world should fol
low, if it would bo as up-to dnto as this corner.
Another project is on foot to-dny which will great
ly facilitate this census progrnin. Thnt Ib tho
erection of a permanent home for tho population
counters. If congress allows Director North to
erect such.nn edifice, It will bo a specially con
structed statistics manufacturing plant. In a
communication to congress Director North sets
forth his plans. Ho planB to expend tho sum of
$075,000 for tho purchase of a Bite and for the six
Btory fireproof building upon which ho is laying
his program. This, ho Bays, will provldo amplo
accommodations for tho 3,000 persons who aro
engaged in this work from year to year.
To-day, if you woro to visit Washington, and
wished to seo tho census bureau, you would bo
lod to a one-story brick structure which was
erected for tho tabulation of statistics In 1900.
Ono great space problom which tho government
faces Ib tho storing of census reports and this
took up Just about all tho room of tho old struc
ture, bo that most of tho clerks and othor help
had to bo accommodated elsewhere, It was re
cently estimated that it would house Just about
ono-fourth of tho clerks needed for tho consufl
next year.
Tho great army of houso-to-houso canvassers
who will count you and your family In 1910 are
not as yet even estimated by Director North, but
It Ib recorded thut ono man counts only about
10,000 persons, many of them counting less in tho
small space of tlmo allotted to tho tabulation

For that reason ovory decado saw u hurry and
scurry to count tho population, gront confusion

So nobody went after a real census Bystom very

But modern IdenB havo boen Injected Into tho
