DEER FLEES TO MEN FOR AID
Doe Runs With Fawn Into Lumber
Camp in California TO Escape
Mountain Lion.

Downieville, Cal.-That a wild deer
when hard pressed by some enemy of
the animal kingdom will throw itself
upon the mercy Of its human enemy
was proved near here recently when
a doe led her fawn into the wagon
yard Of a lumber camp TO escape a
mountain lion.
The loggers were just starting for
the woods when the deer dashed APP
pealingly in, the lion lowering In the
fringe of timber.
The doe and fawn stayed in camp
until apparently satisfied that all i'm
mediate danger was passed.

HOW PURCHASING
POWER OF DOLLAR
HAS FALLEN OFF
Addition to National and lndi-
MduaI Incomes of Little Real
Benefit.
STATEMENT BY BUREAU OF
ECONOMIC RESEARCH.
Most Of Amount Due to Rise In Prices
Actual Total Of Commodities Pro-
dueed Increased Little, II at All, and
Few Were Benefited.

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 IL was due TO the rise in prices, for
the dollar Of 1918 and 1919 was a much
less efficient dollar than that of 1913.
The actual total of commodities pro-
duced increased very little, If at all,
and a large part of those which were
produced were war materials. not OF
a kind really beneiiting consumers.
Consequently, individual incomes,
estimated on a per capita basis, rising
from $40 I'm 1910 and 1904 In 1913,
TO $3.50 In 1913, represent more dollars
but little or no real increase, because
the 1856 of 1918 is equivalent 10 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
I'm advance of the formal publication
of the results Of years study of
Income In the United States" This
study. the most exhaustive ever made
OF the income question In this country,

Mitchell, wiIlford I. King, Frederick
X. Macaulay and Oswald w. Knauth,
under the auspices and direction of
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.

ings, including the equivalent value
of per capita income in terms Of the

School House a DistiIIery.

Emerson, Man.-When citizens OF
this town spread reports that an old
isolated school house, in which mys-
terious lights were seen, was infested
with spirits" they were right. But
the spirits were Of the mOonshlne va

Science Seeks
Secret of Mars

on an unprecedented scale. Such cur
rents. called "strays" or "atmosphe-
RIGS" have been occasionally inter
preted as signals from Mars, when
they came with a regularity that
seemed To be directed by a human
intelligence. But they have been
shown most Enthusiastically 10 be con-
nected with sun spots.
The scheme, attributed 10 ID. David
Todd OF Amherst, a well-known as
tronomer. OF using "A great abandoned
mine shaft In Chile Tor the making of
a colossal telescope, has been the sub
ject OF no little scientific discussion.
This shaft, which is said 10 have IA
GO-foot diameter. Is located near the
equator. IL Is, therefore, I'm the pane
ON which the earth and all the other
planets whirl round the sun. The
shaft telescope has the disadvantage
that IL could never be shifted, and
could only be used for that part Of
the heavens which passes over IL. But
IL Is calculated that Mars will pass
directly over Il when IL becomes big,
red disk In 1924.
Many Astronomers Seoff.
Many astronomers have scoffed at
the theory of such n colossal tel
escope. alleging that II the mechani-
cal difficulties could be overcome the
enormous magnihcation sought would
be useless. because the observer would
see nothing but a blur. ON a small
scale. Dr. Robert Williams Wood OF
Johns-Hopkins had built a practical
concave-mirror telescope on Long
Island by rotating a basin Of mercury
until the liquid metal shaped itself into
the proper concayity. There are
limits 10 its use, however, according
20 astronomers. If the attempt is
made TO build the abandoned mine tel
eScope.
The greatest telescopes now In use
sometimes achieve a power Of 5000
times as great as that OF the unaided
vision. This Is only when the state
~ the atmosphere Is at its best. Or
dlnarily astronomers have 20 be con-
tent with much less. sometimes with
a magnifcation Of 200 or 800.
The atmosphere fixes an outside
limit of magnlficatlon," said DIR. Frank
SchleSSinger. director OF the Yale OBJ
Servatory. 'Limitless magnifying
powers could not be used. Telescopes
viii probably be made larger than at
present for use on mountain tops and
especially favorable locations. but the
tendency is 10 lose In dlstinctness as
magnifying power increases. Event
ually the object gazed on becomes a
blur. as II seen through a heat haze.
Only through great instruments like
that nc Mount Wilson. and then only
under most favorable conditions have
objects magnified as much as 5000
tines been seen with an unblurred
vision.

ture contributes about IL per cent O1
the total. manufacturing about 80 per
cent. transportation about 8 per cent
government about 3 per cent, mining
a little more than per cent, banking
a little over 1 per cent. The many
miscellaneous emplOyments. profess
sional men. retailers. jObbers. mer-
chants, dOmcstics, etc, too numerous
to list specifically. contribute SS per
cent. In other words. our highly or
ganized industries. even II we include
all manufacturing, miidng, transporta-
ton, banking. and government activi-
ties such as education and rOad-build-
ing. produce only about half OF the na-
tional income. The rest is due TO the
efforts of small independent workers.
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 23 billion
dollars. Income tax returns, however,
showed only 2,9OS,OO0 persons having
over 5000, 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 witEhOldings. but also In part TO
the existence of taX-eXempt Income.
" hat this means in terms of the In
come tax Is that the government re-
ceived IN 1913 about half billion dol
Lara less than II would have, II all
persons receiving $1,000 had paid their
full amount.
Contribution Of Housewives.
The contribution of the 2O,OOO.OOO
American housewives is not included
by the bureau I'm 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 10
the total national income would be
about One-thlrd. or Is 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 report says that only one out
Of a hundred q per cent? income re-
ceivers I'm the United States I'm 1918
had incomes Of $1,000 or more, and
that this one per cent had II per cent
of the national income. Five per cent
representing incomes above 5000,
had 20 per cent of the total. Ten per
cent, including income above $4,000
had nearly 30 per cent of the total :;
the most prosperous 20 per cent, in
Guiding income above S1.75O, had about
AZ per cent. Eighty per cent of the
income receivers had incomes below
$1.750 receiving about 50 per cent of
the total income.
Shares Of Labor and Capital.

bureau finds that I'm the principal or

ample, the share OF capital increased
TO about 30 per cent, with 50 per cent
TO labor, while In 1919 capitals share
fell TO about % per cent, while labor

industries, about % per cent goes to

Washington, d. c.. May 11.-Presi-

President Wilson putting all first,

the classified civil service.
The Wilson order would have given

President Wilson's order was re-
garded as political trick to remove
postmasters from executive patron
age. President Harding, in meeting
the issue, exr,sssed the op nion that
such appointments should be govern
ed by civil service law, but that the
placing of the appoihtees under civil
service was legislative and not an
executive function.
