Of social standing.

educational. At present only the ele-
mentary schools and the universities
receive both sexes. The Sv edish
school commission purposes t.. open
the 'realskola" and the Gymnasium"

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.
1t is now proposed that virtually the
whole educational work of the coun-
try, with the exception Of a 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-

Observation-Disclosures Huber, as.

from hitherto little known regions Of
Nicaragua, where he assembled q
large collection Of birds, beasts, fish
and reptiles, q number of which he be.

He also claims to have penetrated
to the villages of Sumo Indians, who
rarely had seen white man. The
scientists specimens include 600 birds,
40 rare mammals and 1000 fish, rep.
tiles and insects, all OF which will be
placed on exhibition in the local in
stitution. -... e..
my research work was done about
100 miles inland from the Nicaraguan
coast" said Mr.. Huber 1--WE estab-
lished our headquarters at a small
mining camp, whence we made trips
farther into the country. The aver
age annual rainfall here is 147 inches.
From the time I reached the interior
until I left. there never was dry
article of clothing on me. The coun-
try Is infected with red bugs, smaller
than fleas, which burrow under the
skin and inflict serious wounds.
Il went up the Prinza Polka river
for $50 miles in a pitpan, an open
boat made of hollowed-out mahOg-
any log. Then in a smaller pitpan I
assembled the Banbana river to Mimi
da. The district is hilly and covered
with tropical forests so dense that it
is impossible to enter them until a
way is cut by Indians.
1.-THE only inhabitants are a few
scattered tribes Of Indians apparently
Of Spanish and Miskito Indian de-
scent. With body OF these Indians
as guides. penetrated to certain viii
lagos Of the Sumo Inmans.
1.-THE Sumo men are very skillful
hunters, but the tribe is rapidly be-
coming extinct. With all their ability
in hunting and their courage of, fac
ing wild animals, they are excessively
timid Of strange human beings and
WILL run away even from members OF
other Indian tribes. Miskito Indians
sometimes walk into their villages and
take anything they want without meet
ing resistance. The Sumos, number.
ing about 500 souls all told, have the
slant, almond eyes Of the Chinese, and
their skin is about the same color as
that of Chinaman."
Mr.. Huber had with him a number
Of dogs, two Of which we're killed by
jaguars. The scientist believes that
fully 40 per cent of the birds and an
imals he shot were lost, because Meth
er dogs nor Indians could make their
way into the jungles to the point where
they fell. He used dynamite to secure
his fish specimens.

rivalry among Americans in London to
gain entrance to King George" and
Queen Marys court levees, which have
been revived for the first time in eight
years. Colonel Harvey, the American
ambassador, has been inundated with
requests, pleas and prayers from
Americans Of all ranks ito see what
the king and queen look like"
Every sort of argument has been
advanced by the petitioners, and the
ambassador has found it difficult to
choose between those legitimately en-
titled to a bowling acquaintance with
the king and queen, and mere tour1stn
7r social climbers" who want some
hing to write home about or to put
a their diaries.
Described by American Woman.
Among the favored American women
who were permitted to bend their knee
before George and Mary was the wife
Of Washington diplomat, who has
given the following description of the
junction.:
1.-THE dominating and most lasting
impression was the appearance Of the
queen. had been led to expect from
photographs and published descrip-
lions that she was Of a severely
matronly type. Instead, she seemed
to be perfectly beautiful; in fact,
superb In her regalness, and wearing
her magnificent jewels like flowers.
Her face had nothing of the pictured
severity, but radiated the kindliest
Of smiles as passed and courtesied.
1.-THE court was everything I had
imagined it would be in pomp and
trandeur, but throughout it all there
vas a wonderful human note. The
King and queen seemed delighted to
Welcome US. OF hauteur there was
1One; In fact, the manner in
which the queen and Princess Mary
.ept chatting and laughing during the
intervals seemed to indicate that the
members Of the royal family were
enjoying themselves as much as we
were.'
"Machinery 10 Wonderful"
'The machinery Of the ceremonial
vas so wonderful, so perfect in its
apparent effortlessness, that there
really was no reason to be nervous.
White-gloved hands were always ready
to arrange our trains, to point the
route we were to 60, to hold US for q
moment, or indicate that we should
proceed. 1t was impossible to do the
wrong thing. The curtsy before thu
king, then few steps and another
surtsy before the queen, and the
presentation was over before re-
SLICED it.
1.-THE difference, between the court
nd presidential reception at Wash
lngton is essentially one of background
and size. We, lack the brilliance OF
uniforms and decorations, but we ex
eel, think, in the beauty Of our WON
en- and the elegant simplicity and quiet
dignity Of the dress Of our men,"

HAS LARGEST INCOME
New York State Gets Eighth Of
Total for the Nation.
Analysis Of Distribution OF Income
70 by States Shows Diversity In Per
-. Capita Income in Different
States.

New York.-New York leads every
state In the Union with an annual in.
come of $9,O74,859,O0O, or more than
one-eighth Of the total national in
come, according to figures announced
by the National Bureau Of Economic
research, Inc. Nevada brings up the
rear Of the procession of states with
$65,791 600 as the total income re-
ceived by its 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 c. Mitchell. The bureaus re-
port on redistribution of Income by
States" prepared by Oswald w.
knauth, shows the extraordinary d.
versity in the per capita income of
people in different parts of the coun-
try.
While per capita income in the
United States as a whole in 1919 was
$627, 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
fngton are next with per capita in
comes around $500. The people Of
the middle Atlantic states alone re-
ceived more than one-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 p 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
1880; in the west north central states
their average was $1,000. These fig.
ures are in excess Of the average of
Fl, 100 for farmers in New England,
$1,34O in south Atlantic states and less
! than 81 900 In the east south central
states. 49, -. .--..---. ,,.....
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 per
cent of the income from agriculture.
