Slight April Gain
Stops Decline in
National Income
TotuI Is II Per Cent
Ahead Of Year Ago,
New Rise Seen
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, June 4.-Although
the gain was slight, the national
income was larger in April than in
March, contrary to expectations.
The national income amounted to
$5,781 100000 in April, as compared
with the 1910 low of $5,713000 900
in March, according to the Alex
ander Hamilton Institute.
The national income in April was
IL per cent larger than in the same
month last year, when it amounted
to $5,l62 100000. This comparison
with year ago was much more
favorable than in March, when the
gain over last year was only 81 per
cent. The national income for the
first four months totaled S23, ,750,-
100000 this year, as against $2l,-
477,0O0 5000 last year, an increase OF
10.6 per cent. The national in
come in the first four months OF
this year was larger than in any
corresponding period since 1890, al
though the gain over the first four
months of 1897 was slight.
IieAlIllIldIy llllOTndllOn 1nClcdteS
that the national income in MAY
was larger than in April, although
only a moderate gain is indicated.
The general price average in May
was apparently as high as it was
in April, despite the sharp break
in some of the primary commodity
markets as the result of the turn
of events in Europe.
1t may be assumed that there was
the usual seasonal increase in the
marketing of farm products, while
industrial activity in some lines,
especially steel, was at a higher
rate in May than in April.
The present outlook is that the
national income in June will show
little change from the May figure.
Beginning in July. the prospect is
for some expansion. although the
outlook is clouded by the European
situation.

Figures
What TheyMeon
BY JOHN L. BECKLEY,
Associated Press statistician.

Associated Press Statistician.
NEW YORK, June 4.-Bossie the
COW may hang up new production
record this year. The milk industry
foundation says that the $4,000 900
bovines on American farms are now
turning cut milk at a rate which
will exceed last years record of
5l,OOo,O00, 900 quarts.
The farmers, naturally, are quite
pleased, as milk is their most i'm
portant cash crop. Milk is paid for
monthly, not at the end of the sea-
son as in the case of most crops.
1t pays for regular purchases in the
village, and gasoline and repairs for
the farmers car.
1t is doubtful if bessie appreciates
the tremendous size of the industry
which has grown up around her.
Here are few facts about it:
Milk is produced by almost three
quarters of Americas 1000, 900 farms.
More than a quarter of a million
workers, not counting those on dairy
farms, are employed in getting milk
from the farm to the family front
porch, stores, hospitals, restaurants.
etc, and in making cheese, butter,
ice cream, and other dairy products.
In thousands of communities the dis
tributors and professors of milk, and
producers on the farm represent the
largest single group of purchasers of
nearly all of the commodities in
daily use
In 1899. milk brought the American
farmer cash income of 81 1855 900 900
and the output of the dairy industry
was valued at $500. 900 900.
The supply of milk produced last
year would have filled a train of
more than 1000 900 tank cars, each
holding 5000 gallons. The train
would have been over 1900 miles
long.
Per capita consumption of fluid
milk in the United States is 80 GAL
Ions a year, the largest of any big
nation, but we'll below Switzerlands
mark of 81 gallons per person. Milk
in one form or another makes up
more than one-fourth Of the $500
pounds of foodstuffs which the
average American consumes each
year.
A relatively new development in
the milk industry is the increasing
manufacture of plastics from more
than 100000 pounds of milk solids
left over yearly by butter and cheese
makers. Milk casein is also used in
an endless variety of articles-but-
tons, paints, paper, beads, radio parts
and wallpaper.

Farm Wife Braves
Storm to Save Train

For saving train from being
wrecked, Mrs. Harry Daziel a
farmers wife is hailed as heroine
at Atherton, Australia. During a
heavy storm she heard crash.
From window she saw that
telephone pole carrying many wires
was leaning dangerously over the
railway tracks. She dashed into
the storm and ran to the nearest
post off1ce. She had to swim two
swollen creeks to get there and was
a completely exhausted heroine
when she gasped the news just in
time to save the train.

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, June 4.-Wheat prices
broke as much as IL cents bushel
today under the weight of private
crop estimates, which were more
optimistic than anticipated, and the
unsettled European situation.
Trade was slow, with pr.ces sag
glng from the start. A rally about
the middle of the session pulled
wheat up about a cent, A squirt in
United States Steel on the big
board" and some buying by traders
short of wheat caused the advance
which later was lost.
Near the close, however, prices
rallied again. There appeared to
be no interest in the market.
Wheat closed 1a-7a lower than
yesterdays finish, July, 814 BIS
September, 815s-81s4. and corn was
unchanged to q cent down, oats

Grand River Dam
Showdown Expected
In Court Today
Oklahoma Sources
Soy Gov. Phillips
May Drop Fight
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press
VIN1TA, Okla, March 25.-Fiery
Gov. Leon c. Phillips and stubborn
Federal agency 60 into United
States District Court today for
showdown in their States rights
battle over the $20,000,00O Grand
River power project.
John Carmody, Federal Works
administrator, is here under sub
poena to testify in the Governments
effort to enjoin Gov. Phillips from
delaying completion of Northeast
Oklahoma's P. w. A-financed dam.
Whether the Governor himself
will appear is uncertain. He de-
clined to say after conferring with
counsel in Tulsa.
Ordered Gates Left Open.
The Governor ordered the dam
kept open until p w. A. met an
$889,275 State claim for roads and
bridges the impounded waters would
cover. P. w. A. refused, asserting
an agreement with the previous
State administration required only
100000 settlement. The Federal
Government financed the project
with an $11,0O0,000 loan and a
100000 grant.
Gov. Phillips sent National
Guardsmen to the dam to keep the
gates open and obtained a State
court order restricting construction.
The Government countered with
q superseding Federal order, and
the gates were dropped shut-on
whose authority has not been dis
closed.
Oklahoma's Senators, Thomas and
Lee, Democrats, have criticized the
Governors action. Senator Lee ac-
cused Gov. Phillips of playing the
game of the utilities.
May Drop Fight.
The chief executive, Democrat,
has been particularly bitter against
what he termed washington bu-
reaucrats who think they can take
our property without paying us any
thing"
Some informed Capitol sources
predicted Gov. Phillips was about
ready to drop the fight and refer
any complaints from residents OF
the area about a lack of roads to
Senators Lee and Thomas.
Federal Judge Franklin E. Ken
manner, in granting a temporary or
der restraining Gov. Phillips and
others from preventing work on the
dam, set hearing today.
Judges Kennamer, Robert L. Will
