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 a like increase in production. Most
of 1t was due to the rise In prices, for
the dollar of 1913 and 1919 was much
less efficient dollar than that Of 1913.
The actual total Of commodities pro-
duced increased very little, II at all,
and large part of 'wfriek were
produced were war materials, not of
kind really benefiting consumers.
Consequently, individual incomes,
estimated on a per capita basis, rising
from $340 in 1910 and 1884 in 1918,
to 1886 in 1918, represent more dollars
bat little or no real increase, because
the 1886 Of 1913 is equivalent to only
$S72 in terms of the purchasing power
Of 1913. M ~

The report estimates that the num-
Der Of persons In 1918 having incomes
over $1,000, was 5,300,00o. and that
their total income was over % billion
dollars. Income tax returns, however
showed only 2,90S.O00 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 withholding, 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-

But the report points out that If they

(the average recompense Of personal

the total national income would be
about one-third, or IS billions. On
that basis, the bureau gives the follow

RITES OF MOUND BUILDERS
How "Bunde Buria!s" and "BuriaIs in
the Flesh" Were Conducted by
Ancient Race.

After an Indian mound has been
cleared and surveyed IL is stripped Of
the surface sod and eXcavated by a
series Of trenches. One mound, says
the Southern Workman, contained no
less than As bundle burials," with two
"burials In the flesh" above of later
date. These bundle" burials were
disarticulated skeletons that had been
taken down from trees and made into
bundles. In each bundle" as rule,
were the bones Of from two TO four
individuals. They were placed end to
end, lengthways, north to south, and
formed a layer some ten feet long and
five feet wide. They were placed on
a carefully prepared bed of alternate
layers of golden and bright-red sands,
evidently of ceremonial import, and
surrounded by several stone affairs.
On these, appropriate sacrifices were
made to the dead; there were signs
of fire all about. Some half-burned
human bones in well-preserved oak
charcoal were found near the top, in
dicating that some poor captive had
been burned at the stake to minister
to the souls of the dead on their jour-
ney to the happy hunting grounds. In
the top strata were found two skel-
etons, both Of them strongly fixed,
with the knees drawn up to the chin.
They were evidently of considerable
age, but of later origin than the
bundle" burials. In fact, all the
bones in this group of mounds showed
extreme signs Of decomposition. 1t
was necessary to paint" them all with
a transfusing fluid the minute they
were exposed to the air. These two
skeletons were perhaps the remains
of people who had died during the
construction of the mounds and were
given burial in the top of them.
