WASHINGTON, March 18- Ad-
ministration officials are awaiting{
expectantly the census of unem-
ployment next month, which is to;
determine the number of persons
idle in the United States as a re-
sult of economic conditions, includ-
ing the depression following the'
stock market crash.
Secretary Davis has estimatedE
that the total does not exceed 3,-
000,000, while other estimates have
ranged higher.
Upon the results of the count will
depend the measures which the
government will undertake to re-'
lieve the situation. It was pointed
out today that in the absence of
definite information, it has been
impossible to take effective steps for
solving the problem.1

Bishop Announces Preliminary
Drawings for Library
Group at Geneva.
GIVEN BY ROCKEFELLER
Preliminary sketches for the
League of Nations Library to be
erected at Geneva have been com-
pleted, it was announced today byj
W. W. Bishop head librarian. '
This library is to be part of thej
league buildings at Geneva. Three
years ago John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
offered the league $2.000,000 for the
erection of a league library. This
was accepted and a committee ap-
pointed consisting of Senator Sen-
ior Siolaja, chairman; Dr. W. W.'
Bishop, Sir James R. Rodd. Rol-
land-Marcel, head of national li-
braries of France, Dr. Kruess, di-
rector of the libraries of Prussia,
fandi M. Raymond Fosbick, New
York lawyer.
All the governments will sendI
documents to this library for the.
use of league members, delegates,
and diplomats. The library, how-
ever, is not to consist wholly of
documents furnished by various
countries. Many of the publica-
tions will be purchased by the
league library.
Plans for the library call for 1,-i
000,000 volumes, and reading spacej
for 600 readers. Ample space for
private study rooms will also be!
provided to the delegates.
One of the five architects to draw
up plans for the building, Mr. Vago.
Prof. Roger Morrison,
Head of the highway engineer-
ing department and chairman of
the committee on methods of as-
phalt paving for the Association of
1 Asphalt Paving Technologists, has,
called a meeting of his committee l
for today. Engineers from various
parts of the country will be here
for the meeting.

This Afternoon.
TO USE OWN LANGUAGE
Students will have an opportuni,
ty to compare life here at the Uni-
versity with life at the medieval
universities when Prof. Charles
Knudson, of the romance langu-
ages department, gives the fourth;
lecture in the Cercle Francais ser-
ies at 4:15 this afternoon in roon
103 Romance Languages building.
'Speaking in French, Prdfessor
Knudson will tell of the fife led by
the students of the University of
Paris, which is one of the oldest
universities. As early as the 13th
century, which period Professor
Knudson will describe, the enroll-
ment at the University of Paris
reached over 6000 students who
came to Paris from all over the
world as a result of the increased
interest manifested in education
during that century.
In the course of his talk, Profes-
sor Knudson will discuss, in addi-
tion to the kind of courses the stu-
dents study, their troubles with tte
Paris townspeople, and with the
police, with whom they waged al-
most continual warfare.
Admission to the lecture is by
season ticket for the Cerele Fran-
cais series. Tickets for the remain-
ing lectures of the series may bei
procured at the door.

In an attempt to better the world speed record now held by his countryman, Major H. 0. D. Segrave,
Kaye Don, British driver, will send his powerful Sunbeam Bullet over the sands of the ocean speedway at
Daytona Beach, Florida. He is shown with his mechanics going over the car, preparatory to a test run.

it was added, both by congress and
by the administration when data
is available as to the extent of un-
employment, the industries serious-
ly affected, the periods of time dur-
ing which employes in these in-
dustries are idle and the causes.
Sworn to keep confidential for
the census bureau information ob-
tained concerning unemployment,
the census takers will ask ques-
tions as to employment ofrall per-
sons who usually are working at
some gainful occupation.
These will include particularly
persons who ordinarily earn wages
but also those who carry on, or
have carried on, their own inde-
pendent businesses. Unemployment
in this latter class is not expected,*
however, to be found very trouble-
some.
The names of all gainful workers
who were not at work on the day
preceding the enumerators' call will'
be recorded in the canvass, but all
of these will not be counted as un-
employed. Persons who report that
they have no jobs at all will be
asked whether they are able to
work, whether they have sought a
job and the reason for being out of
work. Those who report they do
have a job but are not at work at
the time will be asked why, and
whether they are losing pay by not
being at work.
Consider Idle Periods.
Queries also are to be propound-
ed both to those without jobs and
those on layoff as to how long they
have been idle. The extent of un-
employment in the nation depends,
it was said, as much on the length
of the period of idleness as upon
the number idle.
This will be the fifth canvass ofI
unemployment, others having been1
taken in 1880, 1890, 1900 and 1910.
In 1921, President Harding's con-
ference on unemployment sought
information on the subject, but its
compilers reported only that. the
total lay somewhere between 3,500,-
000 and 5,500,000.
After the census is taken next
month, Secretary Lamont expects,
to use it as a basis for keeping
abreast of unemployment. This
will be done by a process of "Sam-I
pling" in various sections where the
worst conditions exist.
