represent the rising generation of wealth. as opposed to the old line families.
 Figures for the year when income tax returns were last made public show that Rockefeller paid an in come tax of $7,435,169. His esti- mated income was s12,500,0O0 for that year and, from that, experts -figuer his fortune amounted to o,0OO,000. Close students Of if nance pointed out, however, that in Rockefeller's case his income tax might not reflect the full extent of his wealth. They were inclined to revise the figure upward, and Stuart Chase, well known writer on eco- monies, said in an article recently that he estimated Rockefeller's for tune at s600,o00,o0U.
 Fords Rank Next
 The Fords, of course, rank next. Henry Ford paid an income tax of $2,467,a46 and Edsel paid sl,9S4,- 254. Using the same basis as was < the Rockefeller fortune, that would make Henry Ford worth s104,000,- 900 and Edsel Ford s100,000,000, in taxable income. In this case also, their wealth probably is not shown by the income tax return and reli- able estimates place the combined fortunes of Henry and Edsel Ford at something more than S1,000,- 900, 900.
 Another instance Of where income taxes are misleading is in the case of J. P. Morgan. His tax was only s9S,643-less than that paid by his attorney. John W. Davis-but so carried are the Morgan interests that no one was willing to attempt an approximation of his personal wealth. It is believed. however that he ranks some distance below the Fords.
 L. $. Money Giants
 Those four - Rockefeller, the Fords and Morgan-are conceded to be the financial giants of America. " ILH lnc exception or the N1ZdUl Of Hyderabad there is no one in the old world who can attempt to match their wealth. It is generally agreed that the outstanding European man of wealth is Sir Basil Zaharoq, whose money was made in war munitions, and the Gaekwar of Boroda another Indian prince, is rated among the 25 richest men in the world.
 Chase believes the Mellon family is worth s200, 900, ,000, and he places them at the head of what might be called the second flight million aires"
 Then, in the order of the number Of dollars accumulated, are rank ed
 The Whitney family, George r. Baker. who has lost and won as high as s19.000,00o in two days in paper profits because of stock mar Eet fluctuations, the Hardness fam fly, the Astors, the Nanderbilts Thomas B. Walker and Patinc, the Bolivian tin magnate.
 It is generally conceded that Will liam Wrigley is among the wealth. jest men in America. Latest figures available show that he paid an in come tax of Si,154,420.

HINDU WEALTH|EST
 MAN, SURVEY SAYS
Indian Princes Riches Exceed
 Those Of Rockefeller
Copyright 1880 by United Press)

Copyright 1880 by United Press)
 New York, Dec. 16 UP) A comparatively unknown man, liv- ing in one of those obscure, strag- gling cities of India, was nominated today as the worlds richest person.
 Statistics indicate that his wealth surpasses that of the Morgans, the Rockefellers, the Fords and all other financial dynasties now existing in the United States. He is the Nizarl Of Hyderbad. and, unlike American capitalists, he can liquidate his wealth by simply walking to a strong box and selling a jewel or brick of gold. So extensive is the Nizam S wealth that he is reliably reported to keep $500, GOO. 900 worth Of gold in bricks and coins in his palace strong box. There is no record that he in vests his surplus wealth in securities, but instead, voluntarily deprives himself of the vast interest simply because his riches might become too cumbersome.
 It is tortuous trip on railroad that winds into the hills to the wall ed town Of Hyderbad, o50 miles northwest of Madras, where the Nj gam has his palace. Virtually un- known to the outside world, he is a mighty parsonage in India and the British Empire from whose battle ships he rates a. 2lgun salute. Jew eiers and golGsmiths who have ap- praised his properties say the Nj gam is worth sl,000.O 100000, exclus- i've of the jewels of the kingdom, which are worth an untold fortune, but which have never been apprais- ed.
 Treasure Well Guarded
 Elaborate arrangements are made for the guarding of the treasure. A wall surrounds the city of 404,000 persons and it is said that no one ventures on the streets of Hyderabad without being armed. But despite the careful guarding of the fortune the Nizam is in no sense a miser, He frequently gives presents costing SS0,000 and recently he expressed the fear that 'unless my children are careful they will go through my fortune in quite a short time. He is 50 years old.
 In the survey made by the United Press to determine who is the worlds richest man. it was found that the chief difficulty was that no enc knew exactly how much any one man was worth. Even the men them selves could not compute their wealth accurately And in the case Of the Americans involVed-Ford. Rockefeller, Morgan and others - 1t was found that their interests are so varied and widely-f1ung that thelc lS a possibility of a tremendous fuc- tuation from month to month in their total wealth.
 Many New Rich
 It was significant that Of the men listed as among Americas wealth. est, the three leaders are. com para lively speaking, among the "ncW Iich.' Financial leadership in this country has passed out Of the hands of the Nandcrbjits, the Astors and the 8lIlieS- dltnouel all tHrtt ldth- flies have vast fortunes which still are increasing.
 Apparently John D. Rock kefeller, Jr, is the second richest man in the world. His father Is not listed in this survey because most of the Rockefeller holdings have been p!ac- cd in the hand of John D. Jr. He, with the Fords-Henry and Edsel-

The very smartest and best sweaters this season have hats 10 match. And the more lady-like and blouse like they look-and the less like the old fashioned unbecoming sWeaters-the better.
 If you have been wondering just what kind Of q costume you should have for that double service Of utility and beauty, take d look at the new sweater outfits making their bow at the shrine of winter sports fashion.
 Soft as eiderdoNn, delicately col orful as the finest silks, they weave into their design all the decorative notes that this season demands. They consider the matter of un- usual collar lines, yoke effects, bol- eros, what to do about belt lines and. best Of all, what kind of a skirt and what material goes best with them Each in itself is a com plete outfit, turban included.
 Three charming sweater outfits il- lustratc the wide diversity i'll the mode, Left: Seven shades of gray from the palcst and most delicate to a rich deep gray, weave an unusual modcrnistic yoke and deep cuffs into a sweater suit of the finest wool The waistline is perled and the sweater can be worn bloused over it or pulled flat against the skirt Of the darkest tone.
 The little hat looks like q babys bonnet, with the same stripping in the different tones making it mod ern indeed. Then it puts q little band Of the palest tone under the chin, in an old Fashioned manner.
 The boloro sweater suit tccnter) sponsors that charming color com bination Of beige, rcd, brown and q touch Of black. The bolero is sleeveless, with stripes running di- agonally and can be slipped off 10 show little long -sleeved sweater with stripes around the neck, waist line and cuffs. The skirt is fine French wool crepe, in the exact beige of the sweater and the beret is Of the beige with stripes around the face.
 Unusually smart for winter days IS the ciel blue flecked with lighter blue cardigan sweater suit (righD that has it's cute ltt,e collar, deep cuffs and it's insignia of ajrpIane motif in several shades Of blue.

Beware of Dust


 A new broom sweeps clean, but I broom is not the thing 10 use in cleaning the housc-for brooms tend 10 raise the dust and dust is danger ous.
 The modern preferred method (preterred both for it's economy iii the labor ot cleaning, and preferred for It's sanitary yalue) is dusting by means Of an automatic cleaner, or by means Of q moistcned mop or dusting rag.
 Dust IS frequently a vehicle for germs. In the days of the long skirts, the trailing tail was a most effective collector Of dust and germs. Now that this hazard has been done away with by fashion, dirt and dust may still be brought into the house by shoes, clothes and through the air, Fortunately, most disease germs do not survive long when exposed to fresh air and sunlight.
 On the other hand, the corners in the house are liable to be dark and warm. Germs stand a better chance of surviving there than elsewhere that IS why whatever dust collects there is best gathered up by a vacuum cleaner, or moistened mop and dusting cloth. Sweeping only distributes it.
 The hazard of dust is particularly significant where there are youn.; children in the house, for they ar; prone to creep about and play ol. the floor. and their tendency to put things that do not belong there into their mouths is notorious.
 For this reason, too, 1t is prefer able that the children's rooms should be sunlit and airy, and that they should not have heavy rugs or heavy hangings Rugs and draperies are exceedingly liable to collect dust. Where, for certain reasons, it Is essential that the floors be covered. it is desirable that the rugs be kept scrupulously clean and that they should be periodically exposed to sunlight and fresh air-tWo valuable and effective sterlizing agents.

LITTLE MISU SUNDERSTANDINGS
 By Alice LudsOn PeaIe

Most Of US looking back over our childhood can remember that we suffered frequently from fears, quilts and shames which might have been dispelled by q little frank anl friendly discussion with our parents
 Because q child lacks full adult com prehension and because he has not the background ot experience or knowledge Of inc world necessary for properly cvaluating much that he sees and hears, he frequently gets false i'm mpressions Of very ordinary happenings.
 If he is high strung and emo- tional child, these impressions may wildly influence his imagination. causing him to carry through his growing years a good many unserv- lceable attitudes and feelings.

The night had passed, a night of pain and terror, and jolly, bright, round MT. Sun was climbing up in the blue, blue sky The young Muskrat held fast in a cruel steel trap on the edge Of the Laughing Brook wondered how the latter could still laugh and sing, and how jolly. bright, round Mr. Sun could continue 10 smile down on the Green Forest and the Green Mead ows when such dreadful things as lad happened 10 him were 10 be seen. Jerry Muskrat had remained near until after daylight. He had advised tine young Mushrat 10 either -naw that imprisoned lrs off or try 10 twist lt of and thus free hlm- self. but the young Muskrat didn't have the courage 10 do this, Finally. Jerry had gone back to the Smiling Fool to warn the other young Musk rats to be on constant watch fop1 traps. and to tell them Usat had happened 10 their brother.
 Left alone the young Mushrat vas more frightened than ever. Actually he suffered as much from dread and fright as he did from the pain in his leg The latter was swollen and hurt dreadfully if he moved the least bit. BlaCky the Crow, flying high over head on his way 10 the bank Of the Big River. discovered him on that log and saw at oncn that something was wrong. He turned and cirCled over head His sharp eyes saw the trap. He flew down 10 q tree close by.
 So said BIacky, you were not so smart as you thought you were. This Is what comes Of being heai- strong and needless. Too bad When that boy who set the trap comes he will knock you on the head "ith stick and then carry you off and take your fur coat. I've seen it hap pen before. Too bad. Why don't you use those big sharp teeth of yours?'

 ITO cut your leg off and get free ot course" replied Blacky in the most matter Of fact tone.
 The young Muskrat shivered. 'lt is all very we'll for you 10 talk; jt isn't your leg" said he.
 I'm happy to say it isn't re- piled Blacky. T have only two legs, but If it came to a choice between losing one of these or my life 4 wouldn't take me long to make up my mind what to do, No, sir, I' wouldn't.
