GENERAL MOTORS
GIVES BONUS STOCK

The General Motors Corporation
this week is awarding 6577 of its en-
ployes 6332 shares of the per cent.
debenture stock and 1852 shares
of the common stock of the corpo-
ration as bonus for the year ended
December 81, 1920.
The bonus plan was adopted in
1918 as a solution OF the problem
of how employees of exceptional merit
might be induced to remain with the
corporation for a period of at least
five years.
Employees. by the operation Of the
plan, are made partners and part
owners in the business and thereby
encourage to further effort and in
itiatiye. It is the intention to con-
tinue the plan year after year, the
right being reserved, Of course, to
modify or repeal the plan at any
time; however, a bonus once granted
an employe cannot be recalled OF
modified.
The annual awards under the
bonus plan are held in trust for the
employe for a period of five years
but during that time dividends are
paid direct to the employe.

Delaware Has 113,755 Males

sus Figures Show
SAME RATIO SHOWN
IN ENTIRE COUNTRY

WASHINGTON, D. c..July27-
The Bureau of the Census. Depart
ment Of Commerce. today issued a
preliminary statement giving the
sex distribution Of the population of
the United States, as shown by the
census taken as of January 1, 1920.
The total population OF the United
States, 105,71O,620, comprised 53.-
9O0.376 males and 51,S1O.244 fe-
males. The following statement
gives the number Of males to 100
females for each census year from
1920 TO 1920:
1920. 1870 1880. 1895 1S4o..10s.7
1910..1O6.O 1870. ..102.2 1880 1881
1900. .1044 1860 ..1O4.7 1920. 1898
1S90..1O5.0 5O..104.3
At censuses prior to 1920 the
enumerators' returns showed the sex
distribution of the white population
only for which the ratio of males to
females was 104 to 100 in 1910 and
1900 and 1O3.S to 100 in 1890.
Thus it will be seen that in the
United States there has been a pre-
ponderance of males at every census
from the earlies to the latest This
condition is due in large measure to
the fact that the total population in
cludes a considerable proportion OF
/ foreign-born persons-about 10 per
cent. in 192O-Rmong whom the
/ males greatly outnumber the fe-
males The excess in males is not
however. due wholly TO immigra.
tion. the native population having
comprised a greater number OF
males than females at every censu;
for which separate returns for ma
tives have been made
The preponderance OF males ovel
females in 1920 appears for every
State In the Union except Massa.
chusetts. Rhode Island. New York
North Carolina. South Carolina
Georgia, and Alabama, in which
states the number OF males to 100
females ranges from 96.s for Mas
sachusetts to 9s.a for North Caro-,
lima The District OF Columbia
shows a far greater excess of fe,
males than appears for any State
its ratio being only 81 TO 100.
Delaware with population o.

when rain fell between Bowers

In the vicinity of Newark ana this

growers report that little good was

by heavy rain as also would the

1t was said this morning that un-
less there is a heavy rainfall in this
section within the next forty-eight
hours, practically all crops will be
ruined.
Farmers who have been cutting

ENGINE JOURNAL
BURNS OFF TRUCK
Lack of fabrication Said to
Have Caused Mishap Here
TRAIN RUNNING SLOW
Would Have Caused Serious
Wreck Had Speed Been Fast

Lack of fabrication and attention
to the engine is said BY railroad men
to have caused the 'sjournal' Of En-
gine No. III to burn, melting of
the rear right wheel of the engine
truck betweenB Lee and johnson street
yesterday evening about &. o'clock
The engine was running slowly at
the time the accident occurred, The
wheel was SO hot from unlubricated
friction that the carbon caked on its
surface caught fire after it had torn
loose from the axle and caused a
slight blaze on the wooden cross ties.
The blaze was extinguished with a
bucket Of water.
Had the locomotive been running
at any great speed, the accident would
have caused serious wreck, accord
ing to railroad men interviewed by
the Leader. Because of the slow
ness of the speed, the truck simply
dropped to the track, and the train
was stopped before the train had a
chance to leave the rails. 1t wasethe
first accident of its kind on the A.
b. & A. in sixteen years, according
to Conductor c. L. Fox.
The locomotive was marked in sew
eral places with white chalk, 20. K.",
which ordinarily means that the ma
chinery SO marked had been inspect
ed before it started on its run The
locomotive had pulled light freight
train, consisting of three cars and
caboose, from Brunswick. 1t takes
long distance for friction to cause
sufficient heat to burn Gut journal,
according to Mr.. Fox.

Building Resuming
While Lumber's $ Low
Lumber Market Shows Little
Activity; Low Prices

Concerning conditions in the lum-
Der trade, the American Lumberman
says: "The trend of building activities
may be likened to the farH3er's boy,
who, after getting his st&t in the
country, goes to the big city. In just
this way building first showed signs
of revival in the country districts and
ever since has gradually been NOV
ing toward the large cities until build
ing today has begun to awaken in the
larger cities, such as Chicago. The
greatest activity in. the cities, broad
ly speaking, is to be noted in the
outlying districts and in the suburbs,
but nevertheless here and there flat
buildings and business blocks are
being built.
In the meantime the wholesale
lumber market remains quiet, with
the total volume of orders decidedly
below normal for this season Of the
year. Industrial consumers are buy
ing from hand to mouth, filling or
ders in here and there when stocks
become broken. Except in very rare
instances this division of the trade
has not anticipated its requirements
very far ahead. Retail lumbermen
are buying slightly more lumber,
but on the whole the volume of these
purchases is below the volume of re-
tail sales. In other words retail lum-
bermcn are cutting down the size of
their stocks and are ifoEsbuying for
future requirements. For that mat
ter, however, it would be difficult to
place any great volume Of bdsifscss
for future delivery as manufacturers
generally are only willing to take on
sufficient business at present prices
to enable them to keep their crews
together by running part time. Prices
have not shown any appreciable
change and the spread in the market
tthe difference between the high
price and the low price on some
grades) is unusually wide and bar
gains at cut prices can be secured,
but on the whole the market shows
no particular downward trend nor on
the other hand are there signs Of
increases except in a few items"

reaus would be pushed with much vig-
or, and that he was optimistic over
the outlook for the bureau federation
