SIZING UP NsTloNs WEALTH
Middle Atlantic states Have Largest
Income, With Nevada at the End
Of the List.

What Is the richest part OF the Unit
ed States-the richest, that Is, In the
sense of having the largest income?
Probably most people would have no
difficulty In answering this question.
That the Middle Atlantic states have
the largest amount Of liquid cash
would naturally be expected from Their
great population and industrial deye'-
opment. And from this standpoint tle
Middle Atlantic states are the most
prosperous, and, as would be expected.
New York, with an income Of more
than S9,O00,000,000, leads all the rest
whereas Nevada, with SG5000OO0
brings up at the tail Of the procession
The figures have recently been com
piled by DR.. Wesley c. Mitchell and
published by the National Bureau OF
Economic Research.
Yet there is another way in when
to gauge prosperity and perhaps, upon
the whole, it is more satisfactory
test. That is the per capita distribu-
tion. Is that section the richest which
has the largest aggregate income or
that in which the individual income Is
the largest? Probably most philoso-
piers would incline to the latter view
And in this regard the Pacific states
have slight advantage over the Mid
die Atlantic-$706 as compared with
1913. Yet New York state, with an
average income per person Of 1914, is
still at the head of the list.
This study also discloses the earn
ings of farmers, which, in some parts
of the country, are high-as incomes
60 In 1919 farmers in the Pacific
states averaged $500 year and in
the West North Central states, $500.
The few remaining agriculturlsts
who are attempting to scratch a living
from the discOuraging hills Of New
England are obliged to content them
selves with SLIGO, while Alabama and
Mississippi yield their farmers less
than 5000 a year.-World's Work.

THE COMMON
RUN
By DOUGLAS MALLoCH
T CANNOT hope TO shake your nand

r CANNOT hope TO shake your hand,
4 Friend Reader here and there,
And yet think we understand
Each other pretty fair:
You're just the common kind like me
And am just like YOU
We have our troubles two or three,
And have our work to do.
We look on llfe's old-fpshioned ways,
Although we are not old,
And think the truth Of early days
Good truth to which to hold:
There's nothing right on earth but
right,
And wrong is always wrong,
And black is black and white is white,
The same as all along.
We haven't read the latest proof
There isn't any God
We, narrow-minded, keep alOOf
And stay On old sod.
We're ignorant Of cults and creeds,
And creeds that knock them flat;
We Judge of people by their deeds,
And let it go at that.
We think that laughter beats a tear,
That honesty's the test;
we live the day, and thus the year,
And try to do our best.
We've had some grief, hurt or so,
But had lot of fun
/ guess, If we could really know,
We're just the common run.

His Speech "sit Down, Boy!"

Hitherto the proceedings of the Fill
pino legislature have been in Tagalog
or in Spanish, although English is
technically an official language.
But the last election returned to
the legislature a number of young
men educated in English schools in
the Philippines or in the United
States. They are intent upon break
ing up the Spanish speaking tradition
Of the older generation of Filipino
public men, who received their early
training under the Spanish regime.
Therefore, quite a sensation was
caused in the gallery of the house re
Gently when English was used for the
first time in debate. The speech was
admirable in point Of brevity, and can
be reported in full. 1t was addressed
by one of the members to a colleague
on the floor, and was: "Sit down,

Comparatively New Cars.

The history of the game of RACK

for it only came into vogue early in
the Nineteenth century. Dickens re-
fers to it in his "Pickwick Papers
in connection with Fleet prison, where
insolyent debtors enlivened the mo-
notony of their life by playing
against single wall. 1t was mostly
played at the back of taverns.
The name is supposed to have been
derived from the Arabic rahat, mean.
ing palm of the hand" but fives is
the only near survival of that form
of the game.

And yet she found time to De with her chill dren, of whom there were goodly number; to understand their in- dividual characteristics and needs, and to indulge these tC certain extent. She did not spoil her chil- dren, to be sure, but neither did sne adhere 10 a Spartan rule that children must be seen and not heard-under any circumstances. She believed that children were people. that "the child is father to the man." and &ense- quently that they were entitled to certain consideration aside from their three meals day and warm bed at night.
 Her views, unusual in her day, were amply rewarded, for most of her children grew up to exceptional manhood and womanhood, and Philip in particular, justified all her confi- dence. He always said that his mother was largely responsible for his sue- cess in life.

use these extremely good looking patterns for purposes of decoration? Why not, indeed? There is every req son under the sun why they should be incorporated into the plan of housekeeping arrangement and they serve to give much more sumptuous effect than any printed linens or cretonnes could do They are par ticularly lovely for an intimate little sitting room or for a bedroom or boudoir or for any little place that has it's own peculiar personal asso- citations that harmonize with the soft folds of silk and with the harmonious tones which the printing of that fab ric takes upon itself when various colors are resorted to.
 Under the side drapings of the printed silk, no matter what it's gor- geous or retiring pattern may be, there must needs be sash curtains to cut away the view of the outside world. These are made of gauge in very many instances and the tone of that sheer material tones in with the coloring of the printed overhangings. For instance, the curtains in the pie ture are made of mauve and purple print, the lighter shade being inn posed upon the darker. Then the sash curtains which, as can be seen are stretched on rods against the window panes, are made of the lightest tone of violet and silver gauge, so that they give an interest ing background to the vividness of tn print which overlay them.
 In this way many different colors and tones of color can be combined so that you get an interesting effect due to the very transparent quality of the one placed against the thick ness and heaviness of print and tex ture ot the other and contrasting ma terial.

A little folder called the Home finder comes to me every month, and the little stories written there would make great human document-a document that would tell of the new era in the caring of destitute chil- dren.
 Here kind people are working night and day to secure good family homes for dependent, defenseless children and contributing toward thsir support rather than putting them into institutions.
 And very recently the work of this home bureau aroused such interest that the building of new orphan age was stopped by the people. who learned that 300 children are now in family homes through this personal effort to secure a real home for ev- cry foster child.
 At the end of last years work they now say:
 "A year ago we started our cam paign to keep as many children as possible in family homes. Five years ago this bureau during the whole year had S2 applications from mothers who wished to take chill
 
 over 800 applications, and we have opened over 100 new homes. We hoped for more, but we are not dis couraged. We now have BPS chii- dren and 203 homes"
 It is readily seen how carefully the selection is made for these children to get good mothers and good homes when such a small percentage of the applicants are permitted to take a child
 The fine thing about this whole are conducting the home bureau are the very ones who originated the finest orphanage in the world. name ly. the cottage plan system. But even this did not take the place of a real family home.
 And they now say: "The ecom- munity is awakening to the problem of the child who must spend his most impressionnable years in the unnat- ural surroundings of even the best institution.
 When asked, Is it fair to keep a child away from life's everyday ex- perences till he is Is and then ex- pect him to take his place in the world as well as more fortunate chill dren?' the response is always: No. it is not fair, nor is it wise.'"
 And this is the attitude that is be- ing taken on all sides n the care of children. They have asked me to make an appeal to the public at large for more good mothers who

 Beatrice Lang would not let the silence following her recital last long enough to become embarrass- ing. Nor did she wish to allow time for any queries that Kenneth might put, although from his present atti- tude she doubted if he would ques- tion her. Still, she would not run any risks.
 T must go upstairs" she said sud- denly, rising from her chair. You put my trunk trays out on the bed for me, didn't you, Ken?"
 Yes, mother
 "Then, that is all I will trouble you to do tonight. Except, of course, to get to bed yourself as soon as you can."
 T am going for a walk first" the man said when he had accompanied her to the foot of the stairs. You may remember that asked Miss Grant to go with me, but since she has gone off with her fiance l will have to go alone. 1 am not sleepy yet, but if 1 walk for a while l may be-"
 "Sh-h." Mrs. Lang warned. DO not speak so loudly of the 'fiance, my dear! It is not yet acknowl- edged that she is engaged. The maid-Martha-may not have been told of it. I suppose you knew of it, didn't you?"
 T took it for granted that Miss Grant was in love-" he answered in a harsh voice. T have been sure of it for some days"
 Clever ladv The mother patted his cheek approvingly. T suppose that the fact that you have the same disease yourself makes you recog- nizc it in others, doesn't it?'

 "Goodnight." he said.
 "Goodnight," she returned urbane- ly. Aren't you going to kiss me, Ken?
 He kissed her on the cheek, then turned away.
 She did not protest at his an- nouncement that he was going for walk. Instead, she smiled.

 Thank goodness we leave this hole tomorrowl Then l will wait in Saxville until I am sure that Ken meth is actually engaged. l will try to hurry things up bit-after which shall go off where there are real, live people--the kind of peo- pie one can find amusement with.

 In a half hour she had packed her small trunk and was nj bed and asleep. Her coldzcreamed face was expressive of perfect peace.
 The very good or the conscience less ought to be able to sleep well. One class, because they have nothing to regret; the other, because they do not care to have.
 Kenneth Lang walked far out into the country that night, striding along at a rate which was evidence that he took no heed of the warmth of the weather nor the length of the miles. He was repeating to himself the fact his parent had communicated so calmly.
 Ruth had confided her love-secret to his mother. His mother had wished her happiness.
 Not Sure Of 1t Yet.
 There must be some mistake, somewhere.
 But. no there could not be. Dr. Grant, too, had talked of his daugh- ter's love-affair. He had expressed
