LIST QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED IN COMING CENSUS Prospective Enumerators Must Fill Out Data on 20 ‘Persons.’ BV Bcrlrpt-Hnvnrd h'eirspaprr AlUmcr WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—Final rulings have been made by the census bureau on what questions are and are not to be asked the people next April, and the first sample schedules have been printed. Prospective enumerators must fill out ri'xessfully one of these samples with data on twenty imaginary’ peraons before becoming eligible for appointment, and this work of examining applicants will be under wav for the next four months. This, together with questions as to qualifications, constitutes the civil service examination called for bv congress. Census takers next April wull fce a, little more inquisitive than any In the past. Three new classifications have been added to the routine population schedule. One concerns unemployment, one War service and one past or present farm residence. Working Same Day The census bureau has decided ♦bat it will list as employed any person, man or woman, married or glngle who regularly works for money, and who Is working all or part of the day on which the census enumerator calls. Persons who earn some money, though it is not enough to live on, will be classed as having an occupation, and will be listed as employed or unemployed. Persons who have retired permanently will be listed as having no occupation. Housewives, doing their own work Wt home will be listed as having no occupation. But if a housewife regularly earns money by some other occupation, whether plirsued In her own hoipe or outside, her occupation Is to be noted and she is to be listed In the class of employed or unemployed according to whether or not •he is working the day the enumerator calls. No age limit applies to questions in this schedule. The number of children who work will be shown, together with their occupations, but children who merely help their parents at home will be listed as having no occupation. Most Renmneratvle If a person has two occupations, the one from which he gets most money is to be recorded. The new classification regarding military or naval service concerns only men 21 years of age or over. The service of women overseas or elsewhere in army or navy will be Ignored. Men will be asked to name the wars of expenditures in which they took part. The third new classification is Intended to show the extent of movement in the past year from farms to cities. Persons not now living on a farm will be asked if they have done so within the past year. In addition the census takers will ask whether a home is owned or rented, mortgaged or free, whether each member of a family can read or write, and whether any school has been attended within the past seven months, the place of birth of each person and of his parents, the year in which each immigrant came to the United States and whether

TILL DEATH DO US PART’ IS 30 YEARS Insurance Firm Figures Time for Married Bliss. Bv Science Service NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—“50 they were married and lived happily ever

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

after," the old story books had it. It was seldom happy, modem novelists have shown, and the divorce courts hgye considerably shortened the length. But for those who expect marriage to be terminated only by death, statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Companyhave computed how long the mar-

riage will last. The figures are based on the ages of the husband and wife. For example, a husband of 30 years and a wife of 25 may be expected to enjoy life together for thirty years and a few months over. The wife of 25 may look forward to forty-two more years of life and the husband of 30 may enjoy 37.1

more years. The joint expectation of life for the two, that is, the length of time that they will remain unseparated by death, is 30.4 years. These figures, of course, are an average, based on the life expectation of large numbers of 30-year-old husbands and 25-year-old wives. Some couples of these ages will live

longer and some less than the average expectation. Just what proportion will live longer and what proportion less long also has been determined by the statisticians. Tire Polynesians believe the moon is being devoured by spirits of the I dead when it wanes.
