PAYROLLS ALMOST
DOUBLE SINCE 1914
COMPARISON WITH 1921 RE
VEALS ONLY SLIGHT RISE
IN NUMBER EMPLOYEES.

Wages and salaries paid by the in
dustries OF the United States during
1921, when business was not at its
best, were more than double those
paid in 1914, according to figures
made public recently by the depart
ment OF commerce. Wages paid dur
ing 1921 totaled $10,763, 442, 600, and
in 1914 $5,542,157 900.
Figures for 1921 are the latest avail
sable, and while no definite reports
have ben made, officials OF the depart
ment estimated that survey in 1928
will show a still greater increase.
Rapid strides made by business since
the autumn of 1922 would be respon-
sible.
In 1914 survey showed that wages
were paid to about $500, 100 persons,
while in 1921 the total was 6,946, 564,
only a slight increase. Value OF prod
ucts also doubled during the years
from 1914 until 1921, the figures be-
ing: 1914, $23,987 100000; 1921, $43,-
653,283,000.

The misunderstanding animal the
zebu, heretofore seen only at the cir
Gus or geological garden, soon may
be a familiar object on American
farms. In that event herds OF gro
tesque. hump backed animals, with
their shaggy hair Of an unfamiliar
white or silver gray color, will be
seen quietly munching in barn yards
or COW pastures, says the New YORK
Times. 1t has been found that the
zebu. which has thrived for centuries
under the trying conditions OF LIE IN
India. is especially suited to resist the
diseases to which American cattle are
heir. Their wants are surprisingly
simple. Food rations in India are
meager compared with the plenty OF
American farms By crossing the zebu
with the standard strains of cattle in
America a fine breed might be de-
veloped. The advantages OF the new
strain must reconcile the farmer to
the surprise of finding his farm pop
uous with animals which suggest a
circus.
The zebu is already tavorably
known in the southwestern states, 1t
thrives where pure-bred American
cattle cannot exist. In districts where

raising impossible the zebu is pract-
cally unaffected. Cattle plaques which
sweep away whole herds OF the Ia
miliar breeds have little or no effect
upon the zebu. 1t apparently is I'M
mune from the familiar Texas lever
which works such havoc among many
home breeds. =,
In some regions it has been found

European cattle. The great size OF the
zebu, which always has been consld-
cred an attraction at the circus, is an
other advantage. The several breeds
average from IA to 14H hands high
for adult COWS. The live weight OF
the bulls is from 1900 to $500 pounds
and for cows from 1000 to loo
pounds. The bones are much lighter
than those of European cattle.
The value OF the zebu in cattle
breeding has been long recognized in
several countries. The large cattle
breeders Of Brazil have imported great
numbers of them from India and
found the expense and trouble well
repaid by the results. On many OF
the cattle ranges there zebus are reg
ularly imported from India to infuse
fresh blood into the herds.

Niger Brown Stockings
Now the Rage in Paris
Many Women Are Appearing With
out Any Hose at All.

PARIS.-Nigger brown has sud
denly jumped into the widest popu-
larity as to color for stockings and,
as result, stocks have been depleted
and the few pairs still available are
doubling and TRIPPING their cost, being
quoted as high as $40 per pair.
This sudden abandonment OF light
shades for stockings is the result of
the fact that since the high grade ho-
siery has been woven more and more
flmy until it has become so CObweb-
by that it is almost undiscernible,
many women have taken up the bare
legged fad again.
In the heat spell OF a few weeks
ago numerous women in faces, and
restaurants and even in the afternoon
at the race tracks, went stockingless
without attracting attention simply
because their bare skin was undistin-
guishable from the sheer flesh cOlors
of hose. This caused the wealthy class
suddenly to transfer their affections
to niger brown, which despite the
fineness of its weaving is apparent.
Deauville reports that shoes, brown
stockings and white dresses are de
rigueur, producing startling effects
when the dark hosiery CLEANS through
the dresses and reveals the contour
and the movements of the limbs in
the glazing sunlight

COLQUITT, Ga.-The First Ma

its doors this morning as result Of
run on the bank. The cause of the
run has not been announced.
This bank was closed temporarily

convicted and for which he is now
serving sentence in Atlanta federal

WOMEN SUE THEIR
FATHER FOR WAGES
TWO DAUGHTERS PRESENT
BIG BILLS FOR LABOR. HE
REFUSES PAYMENT.

Edna and Lena Liese, living on a
farm on the outskirts of Corder, Mo,
want their wages for years OF milking
the COWS, feeding the chickens, caring
for the horses and hogs, harvesting
the grain, cultivating the corn and do
ing all those things regular farm
hand is called on to do on farm Of
several hundred acres.
Edna, who is SO years old, has a
bill against her father for $lO,8OO for
IS years of labor on the farm at 5000
year. Lena, who is 81, has written
her bill for $21,100.
The father Frederick Liese, says
he won't pay the bills The two daugh-
tiers have brought suit against their
father in the courts OF Missouri,
Has Nice Estate.
Frederick Liese is now 81 years old.
Neighbors speak of him as just man.
They know him as a genteel, mild
hammered man, hard worker all his
life.
At one time he owned 440 acres OF
rich land near the town OF Corder.
When he found that old age was sap
ping in his strength he sold 200 acres,
investing the proceeds in real estate
in Corder and Kansas City.
Working hard all his life so that
he might know comfort and ease in
his home in the declining years of his
life, the old farmer now finds himself
virtually an outcast, living with rel
ative in Kansas City. His wife and
two daughters stay in the big house
on the farm, where things are not
pleasant for him. He seldom visits
his wife and daughters and then only
for a day or two at time.
Both the old man and the two wo-
men have retained attorneys to fight
the case. Edna and Lena say they re-
jected marriage, the comfort of chill
dren and comparative ease of home
life for the drudgery of the farm to
help make things success.

CLOUDBURSTS BRING
GREAT DESTRUCTION
FAMILIES ARE DRIVEN FROM
HOMES, LIVE STOCK SWEPT
AWAY. TOWNS DARK.

BALTIMORE, Md.-Cloudbursts
and a series of terrific thunder storms.
sweeping the counties of western
Maryland, caused the Patapsco river
to overflow its banks late today,
sweeping bridges and buildings be-
fore it, driving hundreds of families
from their homes and causing dam
age that will run into millions of dol
lars.
As far as is known no lives were
lost. The food, the most disastrous
since the Patapsco overlooked its
banks in 1868 and took toll OF thlr-
weight lives in the vicinity OF Eli
colt City, ran highest at Sykesv1lle,
El1icott City and other points between
these places and the rivers mouth.
In addition to the families that were
forced to abandon their homes others
who sought refuge on upper floors
had to be rescued by neighbors Town
after town was plunged into darkness
and cut off from all communication
with the outside world, as bridges
were carried away or inundated by the
rapidly rising torrent.
Barns and live stock were swept
away in the swiftly flowing current:
Mills and power plants were flooded
and their machinery wrecked. Whole
sections of railroad tracks were torn
up and whirled away. The United
Railway bridge into Kllicott City was
flooded and cars were unable to cross.
Big Property Loss.
Following cloudburst near Wood
bine at 3 p. m, the Patapsco began to
rise rapidly along both the north and
south branches. A saw mill at Sykes
Vile was washed away, electric light
and power wires were torn down and
the north branch bridges at Sykesvllie
and the Westminster pike were Hood
ed.
Within a short time the river had
risen twenty-five feet at Woodstock,
OVERLOOKING the bridge and covering
the first floors of dwellings. The rail-
road station was torn from its founda-
tons and foated down the stream. AT
Woodbine a string of box cars on a
siding were washed away.
By BIS p. m. the water had began
backing up in Ellicott City, flooding
Main Street. Inch by inch it crept
towards the highest span OF, the new
bridge on the Baltimore and Frederick
pike. Half an hour later all lights IN
the town went out when the water
inundated the gas and electric power
plants.
