there are IS in the sub million
! class, ia in the million class, and
only 81 in the next higher class
The same is true Of the heads of
families. There are 20 in the sub
million class, SO in the million
class, and only IL in the next class
above.
The rule is even more marked in
the case of men. In the sub-million
class there are 658 men; in the mil
lion class, 1872. and in the next
higher class, only 366. These are
married men. The single men show
113 in the sub million class, 200 in
the million class and only rs in the
next class.
This is the more striking in that
the income classes, as to every 9TH
er graduation of income, rise in
about the same ratio. All except
that million mark.
Probably the most fascinating
fact about the income of single wo-
men is that the great bulk Of those
having incomes are in the stenog-
rapher class. This is a new eco
nomic development of the utmost
interest. only a few years ago there
was no such class of money-earners
at all. They are new social phe-
nomenon in the world. The sta
tistics do not classify occupations
closely but shrewd guess can be
made from the size of the income.
Without exception, the most num-
erous class of feminine taxpayers
are single women with net incomes
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 a
year. 1t seems obvious that these
are the stenographers and private
secretaries that decorate the offices
of modern business and help make
the wheels go round.
Flapper Incomes
1t is the flapper class; And these
statistics would appear to furnish
what all the moralists have been
looking for; the economic or other
justification for the flapper. The
figures show that the flapper stem
ographer makes more money than
any other class of women. In 1920,
342,968 of these flapper stenog-
raphers paid income tax. Their ag-
gregate income amounted to $475,-
$40, 109-nearly half a billion dol
lars or enough to pay the interest
on the allied debt.
That good many of these assist
in the support of families to the eX-
tent that they are classed as the
heads of families is shown by the
fact that they are the most numer-
Gus of that group of women. There
were 79,446 in the same general in
come class who made returns as
heads of families; doubtless sup
porting parents or younger broth
ers and sisters. The fact that
among the wives making separate
returns this also is the largest in
come class is taken as an indication
of the large number of young mar
ried women who have kept their
stenographic Jobs and continue to
run their own financial affairs
There were 20,547 in this class and
they had an aggregate income OF
S3O294207.

THE MOTOR CAR
TRADE FL0URlSHING

The combined output of auto
cars and trucks is estimated by the
National Automobile association at
100000 for August as compared
with 244,444 cars and trucks for all
companies including Ford, in July,
2ss.00o in June, 100000 in May
and $4,000 In April. 1t is believed
that production figures for 1922
will be greater than the record year
1920 when 100000 motor vehicles
were produced. There were price
reductions in July and August by
36 companies. and increases by 10
companies. The total registration
of motor cars in the United States
on July /, 1922, amounted to 10.-
$4,000 compared with 9,413,000,
one year before. Total world regis
trations are estimated at 10, 600, 900.
