THE WORLDS BEBT is
383 BILLION DOLLARS
FIGURES BASED ON PAR VAL
UE OF CURRENCY TO REACH
A GREATER TOTAL.
DEBT HABIT" is RAMPANT

Interest Charges on These Obligations
Placed at Nearly Fifteen Billion
Dollars. Pre-War Debt Was $43,-
00o,Oo0,0OO.
NEW YORK, N. Y-Figures bas-
ed on the par value of currencies show
that the worlds debt at present totals
1888, O0O,O 100000 and that the total in
debtedness at the close of 1921 will be
approximately $400,000000,000, These
figures compare with an aggregate
debt of $43,OO0,0 100000 in 1913 and
with $205 ,00O000,000 in 1918, the year
in which the war ended
Interest charges on these debts,
which in pre-war years amounted to
more than $1,500,000,000 per annum,
are now placed at nearly $l5,OOO,0O0,
900 a year.
O. P. Austin, statistician OF the Ma
tional City Bank, who compiled these
figures, says:
The debt habit which was forced
upon many governments during the
war period has been continued in GER
tain countries since its close because
the governmental expenditures have
been permitted to exceed the income
from taxation, and with the creation
of big annual deficits the aggregate OF
debts has continued to expand down
to the present, and in a very large
proportion of the 100 countries the
debt figures of 1920-21 materially ex,,
coed those at the close of the war.
States, counties and municipalities
also are in the clutches" of the debt
habit. and the tax burdens are making
the people suffer.

EARNING POWER OF
THE UNITED STATES
TOTAL INCOME OF ALL THE
PEOPLE WAS 81 BILLION
DOLLARS IN 1918.
LEADS In WEALTH
More Than 100000 Persons Receiv-
ed $4,000 or More Each From La
Dor and Production. Many Individ
uals Evaded Income Taxes.

The most comprehensive and au-
thoritative analysis ever made of the
income of the American people, its
distribution and its relation to taxation
and the purchasing power of the dol
lar has been compiled by the National
Bureau OF Economic Research of New
York city, under the auspices OF a
board of 10 directors, including men
prominent in business, education, la
Dor, agriculture, economies, practical
statistics and representing divergent
points of view.
After announcing that the total ma
tional income of the United States in
1918 was ,000,000,000, compared
with S34 4OO,0Q0,0O0 in 1918, the study
shows how income is distributed, the
shares received by capital and labor,
including the farmer, the income tax
returns, the contribution of housewives
and offers a comparison of income in
the United States with the national
and per capita incomes in other coun-
tries.
Increase in Dollars.
Although 1918 showed great in
crease in dollars it did not represent a
like increase in production, most of it
being due to the rise in prices, tor the
dollars of 1918 and 1919, according to
the report, was a much less efficient
dollar than that of 1918. Individual in
comes, estimated on per capita basis,
rose from $340 in 1910 and 1854 in
1918 to $3.50 in 1918, but, the report
saws, $3.50 in 1918 was equal to only
1872 in terms of the purchasing pow
er of FIVE years before.
The report further shows that IN
most of the years since 1913 in the
principal organized industries wages
and salaries were about 20 per cent of
the total income, while capital, includ-
ing management, received about 80 per
cent. out of which were paid rent, in
terest and profits. OF the total pay
ments to employees in the highly organ
lied industries the report shows about
90 per cent goes to the manual work
ers and clerical stats, while 8 per cent
goes to officials.
The Farmers Share.
Agriculturists, who during the last
decade have made upsabout 10 per cent
of the total of the gainfully employed,
according to study, received from II
to IS per cent of the national income
in the years between 1910 and 1916.
Income tax discrepancies are shown
in the report, which estimates that the
number OF persons in 1918 having in
comes over $4,000 was 100000 and
that their total income was more than
So. 10000. Income tax returns, how
ever, showed only 100000 persons
having over $1,000 and their total re-
ported income was less than $4,000
900. No other country, the report
showed, has so large total national
income and per capita income as the
United States.

ARE NO BEAUTIES IN
THE UNITED STATES
THE KING OF GRAPE HANGERS
is A PROFESSOR IN THE
CHICAGO UNIVERSITY.
AMERICAN RACE is MONCREL
A Handsome Man or Woman Is the
Rarest of Creatures, Declares Prof.
Frederick Starr. Says African Bellies
Lead Yankee Girls.

CHICAGO.-"There are no beauti-
full women in the United States" said
Prof. Frederick Starr, internationally
noted anthropologist, who by this
statement has been unanimously elect
ed king of the world Grape hangers
by co-eds at the University of Chica-
go.
at is only our American good ma
ture that causes us to call girl who
is not phenomenally ugly, beautiful,
continued the professor.
"A handsome man or woman is the
rarest of all creatures. There is no real
beauty in the United States. Only
among the Liberian and kindred races
is real beauty to be found"
The American race is too mongrel
to be beautiful, according to the pro-
lessor, who believes the African bellies
are far superior to girls of the United
States from beauty standpoint, be-
cause they are a pure color race.
Our standards of beauty would be
denied by any European nation" he
said. THE Korean yellow race quite
frequently surpasses us in specimens
OF beauty. Beauty in blonde race is
next to impossible 1t is more diff
cult for blonde to measure up to
beauty standards than it is for bru-
nette."
After all of which the intrepid pro-
lessor, world trotter and world au-
thority on races, is about as popular
with the co-eds, particularly the blonde
goods. as a barrel Of rattlesnakes.
