"Is the ilojc in the lionc? Put him
out. I'm bringhr a stranger to."
That was the firt salutation one ot
the women contut takers in the north
eastern part of the city received when
she started her work. By tlio time she
had spent two hours getting data con
cerning fifty-five person within half
a block on North Fifth street she was
convinced that if variety were the spice
of life Philadelphia lind some mighty
spicy communities.
There was the adorable old deaf
woman whose nnwer to mo-it questions
was "Hey? What you want to know
that fori' nnd there were cunning I
youngsters who wanted to show the
visitor all the things Santa brought and
how the monkey climbed a stick and
Vby the train wouldn't run. There was
a-motherly body who "took iu" board -
crs but wanted mighty bad to gel rid
of her place, and there was the fifty-two-year-old
maiden lady who grew
purple in the face when asked her age
, nnd flew into n rage when asked how
she earned her living.
All Aro Considerate
"For the most part every one has
been very considerate and has given in
formation readily." said Mrs. Hose
Nicholson, one of tho ceusiw takers.
"I have covered only one block so far.
Every one I have met knew what census
meant and was ready to auswer ques
tions. Now and then there was a snob
bish person, but when the head of
the houso seemed cranky or queer I
just made myself that much more agree
able and pleasant.
"If is a great study iu human na
ture,"' she contluued. "It is surprising
how little people do know about them
selves, though : even those with more
than tho average intelligence. They
have to stop tq; figure up their ages,
Jn think of tho names of all the children.
f and half of them don't seem to have
the remotest idea what their husbands
or brothers or sods are doing. They
know where the man works and hi
trade, but often they don't know what
department or just the uuturu ot the
work."
Many Varieties
"I have fouud most of the people
onning their own home-, or paying
for their homes on the installment
plan. It is interesting to bee what n
variety of profeasious are represented
in one block. There will be u baker liv
ing over the shop ou the corner, real
estato dealers, physicians, laborers and
women employed at factories, and iu
professions all within a small ludiuB."
Christmas trees, their tiusels In vari
ous stages of dilapidation, holly wreaths
and the generul holiday aftermath uera
found everywhere. AVhiU mother talked
to the "census lady" small sou shot his
popgun, blew all the horns and made
as much din as be possibly could to dis
tract attention from the business of the
call. It was plain to b6 seen that the
parlor door was opened only ou special
occasions, so son wouldu't have all the
tree ornaments and tiiOht precious toys
. torn to pieces before the holiday season
-was ended.
Some Want t Gossip
There were folks who wanted to gos
sip and others who wanted to get the
business over so they could get back to
ironing or sewing or cooking. The cen
sus takers arc bappy to find a large
number of persons under one roof, be
cause they are paid by the number of
names they get, and it is uiuuh easier
to get them in big groups.
"It takes a least ten minutes for each
person," said Mrs. Nicholsou, "for
there ate tweutj-uine questions to ask
about each, and the answers have to be
written with pen and iuk iu tho official
form.
"I just have to go inside sir I can
sit donu to write. The official blank
book is as big as rno:,t women's maga
zines." Man ot tho women census takers
began their work yesterday. Many
others will begin today. They are. sup
posed to take only two weeks to cover
one district, and some of them are
hoping to be given n second district when
they complete ttu tlrst. With most of
them it is just an easy way to earu a
littie spending money, nnd they have
already figured out just how the earn
ings of the few weeks are to be spent.
One woman is goiug to pay doctor's
bills; another is planning t buy a fur
neckpiece, and another is going to use
the money to help buy a piano.

FIND WOOD ALCOHOL
DID NOT CAUSE DEATH
Peculiar Actions of Kidney Dis
ease Victim Aroused Sus
picion of Poison
The theory that James Boyle, thirty-
three years, 827 North Eleventh street
died from the effects of wood alcoho'
was exploded today by the retort ol
Dr. William U. liomnson, city enrm
ist, to the coroner that the man died
of a kiency disease.
Tho belief that Boylo died alter
drinkintr whiskv that contained wood al
cohol was founded on the peculiar sfij
toms of wood alcohol poisoning.
Boyle was seen staggering along the j
street at the corner of Howard and 1
Berks streets last night by a nast-crn, ;
fari TV'ovlo. who lives nt 1G44 North
Thirteenth street. Tie soon discovered 1
that Boyle was rapidly going blind and j
could sco nothing aoont mm.
