C., October 8, 1919. -The United State Army is definite ly launched in the field of vocational training for the motor transport corps. It has no option in the matter, for men sklled in automotive vehicle operation and repair do not exist in anything like adequate numbers for the re quirements even of civil life; and the war with Germany has demonstrated that no matter how good our Army may be in other respects, its efflency will be conditioned by that of the mot or transport branch. Therefore the Army is organizing schools to train men in various branches of automobile repair, con struction, and opertion They are real schools under trained teachers were the time of the pupil is wholly devoted to receiving instruction. Apart from the military necessity the automotive industries will bene fit by the establishment of this train ing system. The United States Civil Service Com mission is geceiving applications to fill 150 positions of assistant instruct or in motor transport training schools. The entrance salaries range from $1, 800 to $2,400 a year. Detailed ihforma tion may be obtained from the United States Civil Service Commission, Wahington, D. C., or from the secre tary of the U. S. Civil Service Board at the post office or customhouse in any city. CENSUS HAS TO DO WITH TAX VALUE Washington, October 10.-"That the facts and fgures gathered by. the enumerators, supervisors and special agents of the Fourteenth Decennial Census will have absolutely nothing to do wth valuation of property for taxation purposes is a point I desre to emphasize with all possible vigor," said Director of the Census Sam L. Roger today in speaking of the forth coming 1920 enumeration. "Some difficulty has been experi enced in the past," continued Mr. Rogers, "in getting absolutely accur ate values of land and other property because of a certain amount of con fusion over this point. Many people were erroneously inclined to connect the Census with taxation. We hope to avoid any such confusion this time." The act of congress which, under the Constitution, provides for the tak ing of the Fourteenth Decennial Cen sus makes it unlawful for any enumer at, special agent,, supervisor or other employee of the Census Bureau to divulge any Information whatsoe'ere concerning the census returns. A heavy fine and possible imprisonment, or both, is the penalty prescribed for violation of this provision of the law. The proper tabulated figures of the Census are given out nowhere bat here In Washington and then only up on the express authority of the Direct or of the Census Bureau. Actual work by the enumerators in the various census districts will be gin on on January 2, 1920. It is ex pected that the population statistics of all cities and towns will be gath ered In approximately two weeks. Final figures for rural districts, how ever ,can hardly be gathered in less than a month. In these days of tneat scarcity the: 'wolf" Is afraid to even come near the door.

"'Yes, I knew him well.' " 'But don't you think that the poet embellished Jim's act?' "'No, I am sure he did not.' "'Well, but how can you be sure?' "And he repled quickly. 'I wrote it."
