Raising a Town.

In order to raise the level Of the
town eight feet. nearly all the build
ings In Wilmington, near Los Angeles,
CAL, were placed on temporary wooden
supports. Wilmington stood on low
ground. When the engineers began the
work of dredging the adjacent har-
Dor, II became evident that here was
a chance to get, at comparatively lit
tie cost, thousands Of tons of sand
with which to change the grade. A
Sulkhead was erected round the land
TO be filed. and the discharge pipes
from the dredger carried the sand to
all parts of an area about 20 city
blocks in size 1t is estimated tha'
100000 cubic yards of material was
taken from the harbor bottom. When
the grading was done, the town stood
high and dry above the harbor, and
the principal streets were on the level
with the docks.

i'm EXACT MODEL
Nashville to Have Perfect Repro
duCtion of Parthenon.
Finished Structure, Il Is Announced.
VIII Conform in Every Detail
to the Original.

Within a year the United States
will have the only exact-to-the-inch
reproduction of the Athenian
parthenon. The masterpiece at
Athens, conceived and built by Phidias,
the sculptor; Ictinus, the architect
and Pericles, the statesman, is being
reconstructed at Nashville, Tenn.
When Tennessee's centennial was
celebrated by an international ex-
position twenty-four years ago the
directors o. the fete bnit In temporary
form a replica Of the parthenon. II
was used to house the art exhibit OF
that exposition. Nashville people con-
sidered 1t partial qualification OF
their ambition to make their city the
ATHENS Of the South"
This temporary structure left much
to be desired In the execution Of the
delicate ornamentation and the great
number OF statues which had to be
reconstructed from the inadequate
drawings then In existence. Yet the
general effect of the eream-colOred
structure, with brilliant colors In the
frieze and gables, so overshadowed
all the other buildings that when the
exposition was over the people de-
handed Its preservation, and II be-
came a shrine to the residents and
visitors of Nashville.
Three years ago dlsintegration had
progressed to such an extent that the
building had to be closed.
1t was finally decided to erect a
permanent replica Of the Athenian
temple, using the method known as the
Mosaic surface" concrete. developed
by John Early of Washington, who
was intrusted with that part Of the
work.
There still remained the question Of
the red background Of the metopes
and gables, the blue Of the triglyps
As agreed upon by the majority OF
authorities on Greek architecture.
About that time George Julian
Zolnay, sculptor, was making expert
ments in the production Of durable
material other than the costly stone
and bronze, realizing that not until
the sculptor's work can be successfully
reproduced In less expensive yet dur
able materials will sculpture become
a truly democratic art
He secured synthetic stone,
which not only poured" but could be
made Of any color. Zolnay was COM
missioned by the Nashville park board
to reconstruct the figures Of the great
temple and then to reproduce them In
this artificial stone.
Whether the original parthenon had
an open roof or whether there was
some structural arrangement with
side lights masked by the cornice has
never been determined. The Nash
Vile parthenon will have a fiat sky
light following the slope Of liza roof
and SO arranged as to obtain sAe best
possible light withn. where an art
museum, will be located eventually.

ton, banking, and government activl-
ties such as education and road-build-

Income Tax DISCREPANCIES.
The report estimates that the num-
Der of persons In 1918 having incomes
over $1,000, was 100000, and that
their total income was over % billion
dollars. Income tax returns, however,
showed only 2,90S,000 persons having
over $1,000, and their total reported
income was less than ii billion dol
lars. This discrepancy is due in part
to technical evasions and straight ille-
gal withholdings, but also In part to
the existence Of tax-exempt income.
What this means In terms Of the in
come tax is that the government re-
ceived In 1918 about half billion dol
lars less than 1t would have, If all
persons receiving $1,000 had paid their
full amount.
Contribution of Housewives.
The contribution of the 20,000,000
American housewives Is not included
by the bureau In the national income
because they are not paid in money.
But the report points out that If they
were paid at the lowest possible figure
(the average recOmpense of personal
and domestic service) their addition to
the total national income would be
about one-third, or 1S billions. On
that basis, the bureau gives the follow
ing conjectural figure as to the fluctua-
ton of the housewives contribution
to the national income since 1909:

The bear confronted the children as

With receipts extremely light and the

prices were 25@40c lower in trade on the

reports of lower price tendencies on
other of the principal hog markets of
the country did not seem to have any
