BIZ EDWARD THIERRY

NEW YORK, April 30.-Could
you spend 100000 a month? Or
even $1,OOO,000 month?
Dizzy incomes these. One is
Henry Ford's. The other is what
John D. Rockefeller, Jr. gets in
Standard Oil dividends alone.
The Senate investigation of the
oil industry disclosed that young
John D. owns one-sixth of the stock
in the various Standard Oil compa-
MES and that his income, excluding
dividends from railroads and other
enterprises, is about $12,OOO,OOO a
year.
Ford himself doesn't know what
his income is. He says he can't tell
within $15,OO0,0O0 what he has in
the bank. Last year he admitted he
paid $76, 100000 income tax, but this
included the manufacturers tax. It
has been estimated that his PERSONA
income is about $4,000, 900.
Both Have Simple Tastes.
Unlike the fictionized Brewster
these two men don't even try TO keep
up to it. Both have simple tastes.
Rockefeller has a seven story
house in New York, a weekend house
near his fathers Pocantico Hiss es-
tate called Abeyton Lodge, and a
summer home at Seal Harbor Me.
Ford's house at Dearborn, Mich.
is a rambling stone structure on q
700O-acre estate and has about 20
rooms. Nearby is his farm. His
only other home is a cottage next
to Thomas A Edison's winter place

ALBANY SCHOOL POPULATION

ALBANY, April April 3O-Al-
bany now has a population of 1897,
based on the school census of Dough-
erty county just completed, showing
that school population of the city
proper increased AZ per cent in the
last five years. In 1918 there were
2,046 of school age in the limits of
Albany; this years census shows 3d.
006, an increase of $50 in five years.
If the ration of increase is main
tanned until 1880, it is estimated that
Albany will have a population in ex-
cess of $4,000 at the next federal
enumeration. Dougherty county's
entire school census shows 5,744,
against 4,646 in 1918, an increase
of 23.5 per cent in five years. 1t
is generally believed that Albany IS
growing faster than ever before in
her history at the present time. Most
school census so far have shown
decreases.

CALHoUN,s PEANUT QUOTA

ALBANY, April 30. - Calhoun
county went over the top Monday

operative association, when enough
contracts were received at assoeia-
ton headquarters here totaled SO per
cent of its 1922 acreage. Calhoun
was the third county in the state to
sign its minimum quota, being sur
passed by only Dougherty and Semi
mole. A total of $500 acres we've
planted to be peanuts for CONNER
cial use in Calhoun county last year,
and contracts received here show
that more than 5000 acres are
pledged for this year to cooperative
selling. The campaign in that coun-
ty will not cease or be relaxed, how
ever, but the county organization
will strive to make it 100 per cent,
realizing that the more acres are
signed, the more peanuts the asso-
citation will control and the greater
will be its influence in the market.

WORK ON COLUMBUS
UNDERPASS HAS BEGUN

COLUMBUS, April 3O.-With the
assembling of nearly all of the ma
terial for the underpass at Eleventh
street, preparations are under way
to begin that work in the very near
future, it is understood. Two engl-
neers of the Central of Georgia rail

and will include a widening of the
drive ways between the supporting
piles, concrete and steel supporters
and retaining walls for the embank-
ments, with an eight-foot sidewalk
on either side Of the roadway for
pedestrians.
Superintendent Claud Baldwin, Of
the railroad, was out of the city
when the engineers were here and

Fourteen Organization At Atlanta
Institution To Join In Erection
Of Fraternal Homes

ATLANTA, Ga, April 3O.-Four-
teen of the Georgia Tech fraterni-
ties have agreed to enter the pro-
posed fraternity block plan at the
institution, according to announce
ments here today. Under the pro-
posed plan q block will be divided
into fourteen lots and the houses,
none of which are to cost less than
$4,000 or more than $4,000, are
to be constructed.
Under the proposed plan, it is
stated that the block will be kept
well balanced and no particular
house will be allowed to outshine
any of the others. If the plans ma
terialze, a bed room and a study
would be provided for every two
boys and each accommodate from
twenty-five to thirty boys.
The average cost of each lot will
be approximately $4,000, it is said,
the first payment being one-third
of the purchase price and the re-
mainder being paid in five yearly in
stallments. With the exception of the
corner lots, the tracts will have an
average frontage fifty feet and a
depth of $50 feet. The quadrangle
in the center of the block would be
common property and used for ten
mis- courts.
The fourteen fraternities which
have been agreed to enter the plan
are: Alpha Tau Omega. Beta Theta
Pi, Chi Pi, Delto Tan Delta, Sigma
Phi, Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigma, Phi
Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi and Siga
Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma
Alpha Epilon, Sima Chi and Sigma

The proposed plan was brought
before the members of the Pan-h'el-
lenic council by N. P. Pratt, who OBJ
tanned an option on the block bound
ed by Williams street, Third street,
fleetwood drive and Fourth street.
At present the houses have no
central location but are situated at
various places in the neighborhood
of Tech and each season finds some
fraternity moving into new quarters
