New York, Nov. fS.-That there ar
10000, 0O0, O00 worth of people il
New York and that the country's mos
valuable crop figured in cold cash 1
neither corn, cotton nor wheat, bu
human beings, is the surprising stat
men Just made here as the result o
recent Investigations. According t,
the figures which have been compiled
the population of New York alone
taken only as human units capable q
creating and producing is worth
twenty times the national debt, while
for the whole United States the
figure reaches the enormous total OF
$4,000. GOO, 900. Compared to this
a billion-doliar corn crop sinks into
insignificance. Careful fluctuations
have been mad showing the net cash
value of a human being at various
ages. Al birth, according TO these
figures, the value is 500. at the age
of five, $3.50; and at the end of the
first decade 81, 900. From the ages
Of twenty to thirty the human being
is most valuable, having a net cash
worth as a producer of $4,000, at
the former age. and $4,100 at the lat
ter. At fifty the value of the human
unit has declined to SO. 900. while at
the age of so years the figure is min
us 500. the unit not only having lost
its productive power, but being q
burden on the producers as well. The
average value for all ages is about
$1,000. Nearly $500, 900. 900 worth
of babies-value 500 each-is the an
nual record, while $500. 000, 900 worth
of people die every year-the magni-
tude of the latter figure being ac-
counted for by the mature age and the
correspondingly greater value of
many of the victims. OF those 1900
001 deaths annually, 1t it figured that
40 per cent, or 500, 000, are prevent
able, so that the national unneces-
sary loss OF human beings is over one
billion Enthusiastically the value
of the corn crop. Three million peo-
pie, it is figured, are always on the
sick list, this total of 5000, 600 years
of illness annually netting a loss of
billion dollars. But in spite
of these losses. which large as they
may seem airs comparatively insig-
nificant, the value of the human crop
is increasing at q rate which stamps

STORY OF REFORM
CAUSED BY DREAM
Sketch Presented at Orpheum
Shows Wall Street Wonder
Changed by Vision
Stoneman, Whose Heart Had
Turned to Metal, Becomes
Good and Charitable
By WALTER ANTHONY

The best show that the Orpheum has
presented since 1T went downtown and
deserted Fillmore street was lit up yes
terday by the new Orpneum footlights
If ever you have said anything against
vaudeville and its frivolous appeal. by
all means see His Phantom Sweet
heart Frederick Allen and a slen-
der company play the sketch, which is
not a sketch after all. but a frank bit
of real sentiment and given with all
the unreality of many soliIoquies and
honest breaking of dramatic laws. 1t
tells a story, though. that touches as
genuinely as the clasp of the hand of
little girl.
STORY OF WALL STREET WONDER
John Stoneman is wall street Won
der He's worth so much money that
nv typewriter hasn't figures enough to
transcribe the total He is old and
pitiless and as friendless as he is ava
ricious His heart has turned to metal
and he sits in his apartments and
raises the price of coal; refuses time
to men who owe him money, and
crushes the financial life of his victims
Then he dozes and dreams. His sweet
heart appears in the vision. She waved
farewell to him when he went TO the
war 40 years before. cts very obvi-
Gus. YOU see) Now she comes TO him
again and reminds him of the friends
of his boyhood; of the days that are
gone She tells him how she used to
love him because he was square" and
played his games honestly.
DREAM LEADS TO REFORM
All this seems stupid to repeat, but
the sketch is not stupid to hear. OF
course he wakes up. That ideed, is
the pity of dreaming, and then he re-
forms He gives his workmen what
they earn, pays his respects to his
snubbed and discarded friends, gives
his victims time to pay their margins,
lowers the price of coal and-if the
play had been written in San Fran
cisco-he would. undoubtedly, put in
honest gas meters.
frederick Allen as the Stoneman
does some naturaIistic acting. He is
clever and convincing Miss Bertha
demure and pretty miss. The sketch
is well staged.
PAGE AT HEAD OF BILL
I'd at the head of the bill comes
Francini-Alloms and his page in one
of the best acts that the orpheum has
seen 1t is a combination of music,
Juggling and athletics. and the two
performers are splendid in every ca
pacity. The William Tells overture.
PLAYED on a xylophone, was one of the
best things on the bill.
The Russell brothers, assisted by
Flora Bonfanti Russell, provide an
amusing number, and the Normans In
Juggling act give clean performanc,
and a perfect one. Their Indian club
work will be remembered as the best
seen here in many months. Haw-
thorne and Burt. Miss Angela Dolores
in cupid at Home" La Valera in
spanish dances and the Melnotte
twins and Clay Smith in hippy nom
sense complete the bill
