by States Shows Diversity in Per

States, -

New York-New York leads every
state in the Union with an annual in
come Of ;$9,O74,859,OOO, or more than
one-eighth of the total national in
come, according tp figures announced
by the National Bureau Of Economic
Research, Inc. Nevada brings up the
rear of the procession of states with
$65, 600 as the total income re-
ceived by it's Inhabitants. -, .
These figures form part of an ex
haustive investigation of incomes in
the United States, made by the re-
search. staff of the National Bureau
Of Economic Research, led by DR..
Wesley G. Mitchell The bureaus re-
port on distribution of Income by
States," prepared by Oswald w.
Knauth, shows the extraordinary di-
versity in the per capita income of
people in different parts of the coun-
try. --...=
w. While per capita income in the
United States as a whole in 1919 was
1927, the per capita income in the re-
gion embracing the Pacific states was
$796 and in the middle Atlantic states
$7S3. In the south central and east
south central states the rate sank to
$463 and 1864, respectively.
New York State also heads the list
Of per capita incomes, striking an
average of 1914. Nevada, California,
Wyoming, Massachusetts and Wash
ington are next with per capita in
comes around $500. The people Of
the middle Atlantic states alone re-
ceived more than sone-fourth Of the
entire income Of the country in 1919,
and with the east north central states
received nearly one-half of it. On
the other hand, the people Of the
twelve Southern states, comprising
more than Fl per cent of the popula-
tion, received less than Is per cent Of
the total national income. ..
Farmers in the Pacific states in 1919
had an average income of more than
$2,8OO; in the west north central states
their average was ss2,3OO. These fig
ures are in excess of the average Of
SLIGO for farmers in New England,
$1,34O in south Atlantic states and less
than. LOCO in the east south central
states. ..
The total income of the south is de-
rived largely from farming. The south
Atlantic states draw about one-fourth
Of their income from this source, and
the south central states about one
third. The only other group Of states
that is equally dependent on farming
is the west north central states, which
draw about one-third Of their income
from this source. New England and
the middle states draw less than 4 per
cent of the income from agriculture.

WILL OPEN SCHOOLS TO ALL
organization of Educational sys-
tenn of Sweden. >*.'

Stockholm.-Sweden's educational'
system faces reorganization the pur-
pose of which Is to place full educa-
tional advantages within close reach
of every child in the land irrespective
of social standing.
Under the new plan all of Sweden's
public schools, from the elementary
grades to the universities, will be CO.
educational. At present only the ele-
mentary schools and the universities
receive both sexes. The Swedish
school commission purposes t. open
the ''realskola" and the gymnasium"
to girls as well as boys.
An important change will be the
elimination Of several subjects as COM
pulsory and the concentration of in
dividual students on smaller group
Of subjects logically related to the oc-
cupation or profession which most in
terests them. Students will be per-
mitted to start specializing much
earlier than at present.
It is now proposed that virtually the
whole educational work Of the coun-
try, with the exception of few pri-
vate schools, be taken over by. the
state. Tuition fees will be practically
eliminated, and students will not be
incumbered by the study of nonessen-
tial subjects. The estimated cost will
be about $1,OoO,0oo a year more than
at present. q.
It is nrOnosed also to establish a
school, new to the Swedish system Of
education, to be known as "lyceum"
which in seven years will take pupil
!. directly from the elementary school to
matriculation for the universities.
Among the languages offered under
the new plan will be Latin and Greek
and three modern languages in addi-
tion to Swedish namely, English,
French and German.

CUPID OPENS u. S. GATE
Russian Refugee StowaWay Per.
mitted to Enter Country.
First Officer of the Manitowoc Falls in
Love With Girl He Found in Hid
ing on Ship-Passports
Are Waved

WashingtOn.-Love came to Anna
Vivdenko, Russian refugee stowaway
On the high seas, after she and her
companion, Evguenia Bonar, had been
discovered hiding on the American
steamship Manitowoc, bound from the
Black sea to Baltimore.
When John Brakka, first officer on
the Manitowoc, ordered the trembling
girls to emerge from their hiding
place, he little thought that before the
voyage ended he would have plighted
his troth to Anna. But this is exactly
what happened, and the bureau Of i'm
migration, Department of Labor, has
set, aside the recommendation of de-
pOrtatiOn made by the board of spe-
cial inquiry at Baltimore, and admit
ted them for six months. The State
department, "for humanitarian rea-
sons," waved passport requirements.
Anna and Evguenia, the former a
vocalist and typist, the latter an act
ress, were employed on the dock
at Neveressick, Russia, when the
Manitowoc arrived for cargo. They
conspired to stowaway on the Amer
acan vessel and seek fame and fortune
In the new land.
Two Russian boys with whom they
had worked, were taken into the Sc
cret, and the -four found a black
hole big enough to accommodate
them all. Two days out they were
discovered, and their problem became
the problem of Capt. Waldemar Knud-
sen.
The captain decided to put the
boys ashore at Messina, Italy, but the
girls pleaded so piteously to be al
lowed to remain that his heart soft
ened towards them. So, when soviet
soldiers searched his ship at other Rus
sian ports he found a hiding place for
the girls and brought them to the
United States.
The barrier Of language did not pre-
vent John Brake from speaking to
Anna in the language of love, and
before the ship reached Baltimore
she had consented to become his
wife.
Anna sang small parts in Russian
grand opera and, .Evguenia was an
actress Of ability, their papers show
Anna is nineteen and her companion
twenty-one. Brake is forty-one.
When they reached Baltimore the
girls combined wardrobe consisted of
three pieces and one hat.
