NATIONAL Income
SET AT 81 BILLION
Government Figure Exceeds
Roosevelt Estimate by
$1,000, 100000.

D the Associated Press.
Government experts said today the
1888 national income was virtually
certain to exceed SOL ,0O0, ,o00,o 900.
If it does, President Roosevelt's esti-
mate of a $12,000,000,O00 reduction
below the 1887 figure will have been
cut nearly in two. In his budget mes
sage to Congress Mr.. Roosevelt pre-
dicted = drop from $4,000. 900 900 in
1887 to $5e,ooo, ,ooo, 900 in 1898.
The Commerce Department esti-
mated yesterday the total income for
the first half Of 1898 was $30,00o,-
100000. Ordinarily income in the
latter half Of the year equals the first
half.
Further Reductions Likely.
Department offlcials said the pro-
spective $1,000, 100000 reduction from
1887 might be lessened still further.
Usually income payments fall of in
midsummer to a seasonal low point,
but this year they have been moving
upward, in contrast to the seasonal
trend. since the middle of June
Nevertheless, the department said
income payments for all Of June were
IL per cent less than for the same
month OF last year. Using 1929 as
100, a seasonably adjusted index Of
these payments declined from Ss.6
IN August, = high for recent years, to
7s.s In May and 1872 in June.
Income payments to salaried en-
ployes and wage earners. which had
dipped sharply from about $4,000 .00o,-
900 month last fall. have been fairly
stable since January at . monthly
average Of about $3,450, 900, 900.
Incomes Of other kinds, in contrast,
displayed no material reduction In the
last half Of 1887 but have fallen OF
rapidly since January.
Industries Hardest Hit.
The contraction of employees in
comes, the Commerce Department
found, was concentrated in COM
modity-producing industries. In the
mining, construction and manufactur-
ing industries, compensation was 10
per cent lower in June than in jan
uary and IS per cent below June,
1887.
June pay rolls in trade and trans
portation were per cent lower than
IN January and per cent below last
falls peak. For the same periods.
there were respective deductions of 2
and per cent In incomes of employees
In service industries, including Gov
eminent workers.
Meanwhile, the Treasury asked for
bids on about $100, 100000 of 91-day
bills to be sold on q discount basis to
the highest bidders. Offers will be
received at Federal Reserve banks and
branches up to 2 pm. Eastern stand

Supervised Playground is Taking
Hold of Youth Very Successfully

dOlu Oh IOutH very successfully
/ Thirty years ago the idea of su.
ipervised Fairgrounds was started
by Joseph Lee. Mr.. Lee, a Boston
social worker, did much to advance
the interests of the people by Sc
curing legislation for recreation
centers in Massachusetts. Because
Of his efforts he has been honored
and his home city, Boston, pioneer
ed the movement. The fore-run-
ner of the organized playground in
the United States was the New
England Common" with which
many of the communities are bless
ed. Boys gathered on the Com
mon" to play baseball and other
games. From the Common
it was a natural step
to the organized playground, from
which we have developed today's
recreation centers. Wilmington
now has % Fairgrounds and most
towns and cities have
one or more Fairgrounds according
to their needs. Smyrna is to be
upon progress made
n this respect. In spite of the I'M
favorable weather, Prof. Francis
Iebhart reports the attendance at
he Smyrna playground and at

nents are now completed for the
ecreation Of children of all school
ges at the Smyrna playground.
