Still alive when the crews pulled
him from where he had been pinned
to the mine floor. the miner, j. D..
Painter. succumbed to shock after he
was placed on . car and started for
the surface.
Several times as the rescuers fought
to reach him, MIR. Painter begged them
to blast me out" He was mumbling
incoherently when they finally got to
him. l8 hours after the accident.
BY a weird coincidence, Mr.. Pain
ter's brother, Lloyd. similarly was res
cued alive only to die. A physician
amputated Lloyd's arm to get him free
Of the rocks but he lived but a short
while. The other four victims we're

The Treasury reported yesterday
that the public debt rose in the last
year to an average Of $285. 10 for every
man, woman and child in the Nation.
This wss $4.07 more than the
amount owed per person a year ago.
Final figures on the Governments
fiscal year. which ended Thursday
night showed the debt totaled $37,-
1854, TAO ,3l5.45. This was S74O,l26. .583
more than the total year ago. Inter-
est payments on the obligation during
the year required $926, ,280, ,7l3-nearIy
a seventh Of all the Governments
expenses.
The Treasury listed as the public
debt only its own direct obligations.
In addition, it said the Government
had contingent liabilities Of $4,925.-
900, 900. or $1s2, 1000 900 more than a
year ago. These liabilities, oficials
explained. were in the form of guaran-
tees as to principal and interest on the
outstanding obligations of the Recon-
struction Finance Corp, the Home
Owners Loan Corp and other Federal
corporations.
Figures on Finances.
The increase in the public debt
during the year resulted from Gov
eminent borrowing to meet a deficit
the eighth in row, but the smallest
since the depression began. In mil
lions Of dollars 1000 900 omitted, here
are the figures on the Governments
finances for the last two years and
unofficial estimates for the year Just
started:

1889 $500 $500 $4,000 s3s 900
Deducting the bookkeeping entries"
for debt retirement from expendi-
lures. to obtain what President Roose-
welt calls "layman's" figure, the net
deficit in the year just ended was
$l,459, ,248.l00, compared with s2,707,-
347.ll0 in the previous annum.
Many long and short term records
were produced by the 1898 figures.
On March IL, before income tax COL
lections and other factors reduced it,
the public debt reached an all-time
high of S37sl4. .000, ,000 Receipts were
the greatest in ls years. and income
taxes alone were the Target in II
years.
Defense Cost Unprecedented.
National defense costs amounted to
the unprecedented peacetime total
OF s974.l57,23 and international ten
sion caused even larger funds to be
provided for this year.
A year ago the business slump had
not yet developed, and relief expendi-
lures were reduced. w. P. A. spent in
the last IL months 81 ,472, ,499, ,47S-
barely more than the amount pro-
vided for the first seven months OF
the new fiscal year. The 1898 w. p. A.
cost was $424 ,0O0, 900 less than that of
the previous year.
Comparing the 1898 and 1887 fiscal
years. the official figures also show

creased $l54.000, 900. OUTLAWS of regu-
lar departments increased $50, ,000, 900.

In addition to the opportunity to
win both money and distinction,
there's another thing about this con-
test that has strong appeal to every
one. No special skill or experience is
required. Pictures will be judged for
their human interest appeal-the in
terest they arouse. Photographic
technique, while important. will not
be the deciding factor This does not
mean that good composition, contrast
and pleasing lights and shadows will
not help your picture, but it's the ap-
peal Of the picture that will count the
most.
Taken After May IA.
Any amateur is eligible excepting
employees OF this newspaper and in
divlduals and families of individuals
engaged in the manufacture, sale,
commercial finishing or professional
