MONEY DECLINES
in EFFICIENCY
Enormous Addition to the Ma
tionaI Income Is Not Real
Wealth Increase.
DUE TO RISE IN PRICES
National Bureau of Economic Research,
After Exhaustive Study, Makes Pub
lie Figures Showing Variation In
Dollars Purchasing Power.

New York, Oct. 27.-The total ma
tional income of the United States in
1918 was 81 billion dollars, as COM
pared with 34.4 billions in 1913; but
this increase in dollars did not repre-
sent like increase in production. Most
of it was due to the rise in prices, for
the dollar of 1918 and 1919 was much
less efficient dollar than that of 1913.
The actual total of commodities pro-
duced increased very little, if at all,
and large part of those which were
produced were war materials not Of
q kind really benefiting consumers.
Consequently, individual incomes,
estimated on a per capita basis, rising
from $40 In 1910 and 1854 in 1913,
TO $586 in 1918, represent more dollars
but little or no real increase, because
the 1886 of 1918 is equivalent to only
1872 in terms of the purchasing power
of 1913.
These are the most important find
ings of the National Bureau of Eco
nomic Research, made public today
in advance of the formal publication
of the results of a years study of
Income in the United States" This
study, the most exhaustive ever made
of the income question in this country
has been conducted by Wesley Clair
Mitchell, Willford I. King, Frederick
r. Macaulay and Oswald w. Knauth,
under the auspices and direction of a
board of nineteen directors including
men prominent in many fields of bust
ness, education, labor, agriculture, eco
Monies and practical statistics, and
representing many divergent points of
view.
This table exhibits the main find
ings, including the equivalent value
of per capita income in terms of the
1913 purchasing power:

May Wear Purple
Anyone Now Can Have Color
Loved by Rulers Of Yore.
Fuchsia, Which Shows More of Red,
Is Popular Fall Tone-PurpIe
Velvet Hats.

The glory of Tyrian purple, so be-
loved by rulers of yore, Is with us this
fall, making vivid the shop windows.
Time was when only royalty could
wear this glorious color, now anyone
who wishes to, regardless of social po-
sition, may clothe herself in it.
Fuchsia, purple which shows more
of red, is also a popular fall tone.
Many purple velvet hats are to be seen
in shop windows Sometimes they are
combined with rose on the order OF
Folly or American Beauty.
Another color combination which Is
used to a great extent in the fall col
lections of Eastern houses is dark blue
trimmed with vivid red. While tomato,
shrimp and other tones bordering on
henna and rust, as well as dark green's
such as Bagdad and balsam, are seen,
the preference, at least at present,
seems to be for navy, black and brown.
The Spanish influence which domi-
mates the fall frocks and wraps also
appears in the millinery realm, and
black satin hats, from whose brim
hang wells Of black chantilly, are seen
everywhere.
Many of the hats worn by the mani
kins at the recent couture fashion dis
play in New York, showed this ten
dency. Over some of these Spanish
hats the lace passes across the brim,
fastening at the right side with a
fancy pin and falling in cascade be-
low the shoulders.
The old-time willow plume also re-
appears and is used in this same way.
Paradise with its sweeping lines is
very effective on the larger shapes,
while smart tricornes recall the days
of the great Napoleon.

ture contributes about IL per cent OF
the total, manufacturing about 30 per
cent. transportation about per cent,
government about per cent, mining
little more than per cent, banking
a little over / per cent. The many
miscellaneous employments, profess
sional men, retailers, jobbers, mer-
chants, domestfcs, ETC., too numerous
to list specifically, contribute SO per
cent In other words, our highly or
ganized industries, even if we include
all manufacturing, mining, transporta-
ton, banking, and government activi-
ties such as education and road-build-
ing, produce only about half of the ma
tional income. The rest is due to the
income Tax DISCREPANCIES
The report estimates that the num-
Der of persons in 1913 having incomes
over $1,000 was 100000, and that
their total income was over % billion
dollars. Income tax returns, however,
showed only 2,9O8,OO0 persons having
over $1,000, and their total reported
income was less than IA 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 a billion dol
lars less than it would have, If all
persons receiving $4,000 had paid their
full amount.
Contribution of Housewives.
The contribution of the 100000
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 Is billions. On
that basis, the bureau gives the follow
ing conjectural figure as to the fiuctua-
ton of the housewives contribution
to the national income since 1909:

Total Ma Per Capita Per Capt.
tional Inc'e Income Income i
Distribution OF Income.

The report says that only one out
of a hundred Il per cent? income re-
ceivers in the United States in 1918
had incomes of $4,000 or more, and
that this one per cent had Il per cent
of the national income. Five per cent,
representing incomes above $4,000,
had % per cent of the total Ten per
cent, including income above $1,000,
had nearly 80 per cent of the total;
the most prosperous 20 per cent, in
Guiding income above ST, $50, had about,
AZ per cent. Eighty per cent of the
income receivers had incomes below
1850, receiving about SO per cent Of
the total income.
Shares of Labor and Capital.
In most of the years since 1912, the
bureau finds that in the principal or
ganized industries, wages and salaries
were about 20 per cent of the total In
come; while capital Qncluding man
Bgement) received about 80 per cent,
out of which were paid rent, interest
and profits; but these proportions va
ried materially with relative prosper
fly and depression. In 1915, for ex-
ample, the share of capital increased
to about 80 per cent, with IS per cent
to labor, while in 1919 capitals share
fell to about % per cent, while labor
got about 78. OF the total payments
to employees in the highly organized
Industries, about 90 per cent goes to
the manual workers and clerical stats,
while per cent goes to officials.
Share of the Farmer.
The farmers, who during the past
decade have made up about is per
cent of the total of gainfully employed,
had from Il to ID per cent of the ma
tional income in the years between
1910 and 1915 inclusive; since 1917
they have been receiving 10 to IL per

ton, as the following figures from the

many ways in which these petticoats
may be finished; an accordion-paited

deep gives freedom for walking. or
three small kiited frills make very
good finish, and there are many shops

WHY PERcHER0N IS POPULAR
Breed Adapted to All Kinds Of Farm
Work, and Exceptionally
DociIe and Sensible.


The modern Percheron is very popu-
lar with the American farmer because
he is an easy keeper and an early
maturer, is hardy and vigorous, but
docile and sensible, strong, active and
well adapted to all classes of farm
work and city use. America had a
preference for black horse which has
led to the production of darker colored
horses, but, as is evidenced by some
of the leading shows of recent years,
there is a tendency to revert back to
the original color, that beautiful iron
gray. 1t is a good thing that this
is true, for a minor point like color
should never detract from the value
of an otherwise good horse.
