Distribution of
Income by States
New York, Aug. 20.?Illinois with
$4,962,000,000 as the annual aggregate
income of its citizens leads the
North-Central States, according to
compilations which have been announced
at the headquarters of the
National Bureau of Economic Research,
New York. Illinois receives
seven and one-half percent of the nation's
income, a figure which is exceeded
only by Ne.w York and Penn'
sylvania. Pennsylvania ranks second
with $5,958,000,000, while New
York tops the list with a little more
than $9,000,000,000. These data are
taken from advance sheets of a report
entitled "Distribution of Income
by States," which will be issued by
^Bureau of Economic Reexhau8tive^n^st^c^
k / tion of "Income in the United States '
upon which the Research Staff of the
Bureau, untjer Dr. Wesley C. Mitchell,
has been engaged for more than a
year.

uv unob-xiui bit biciuim oiaiea,
Ohio, Indian, Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin, according to the report
"Distribution of Income by States,''
had in 1919 a total income of nearly
$1?>,000,000,000, which was 22 per
cent of the income of the entire country.
At the same time their population
was exactly one-flfth of the total.
As a group, therefore, their average
per capita income of $684 was some<
what higher than that of the whole
country which was $627, though less
than the $783 average in the Eastern
states, and the figure of $796 enjoyed
by the Pacific states.
The Middle Atlantic states, New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
taken as a group have over one-fourth
of the national income, with the EastNorth
Central group and the New
England states h%v$ more than onehalf
of the total.
The balance of income between that
which, is due to agriculture and to
other sources is almost exactly the
same as in the East-North Central
States as for the * entire country,
about one-sixth. This means that as
v n group these states are practically
self-supporting. In contrast, the

Eastern states get only one-thirti >th /
of their income from agricultuie and
must therefore depend upon food supplies
brought from the West. The
Western states, and most of the ^
Southern states, get about one-third (
of their income from agriculture,
and must therefore ship food exten- ?
sively in exchange for manufactured ^
products. ?
Detailed figures from the E.ist
North Central states show that while a
the aggregate income of Illinois was
about $4,962,000,000, or seven and
one-half percent of the nation's in
come, unio came next, with $3,967,900,000,
then Michigan with $2,582,- .
000,000 and Indiana and Wisconsin
with less than $2,000,000,000.

tfully employed in these states varies *

The average income of farmers in n
these states was:
Ohio $1,819 *
Indiana 1,834
Illinois .. 2,657 w
Michigan 1,589 *
Wisconsin 1,863
Michigan was accordingly the only a
state in which the income of farmers,
which includes a return on property
as well as labor, was less than the
average income of the gainfully cm- P
'ployed. m c

These facts are shown in detail in p
ihe report on "Distribution of In- 0
come by States," which is especially ^
designed to meet the needs of many a
investigators who are concerned with ^
the comparative capacity of the various
states to bear increased taxes, .
to buy goods of various sorts, to
absorb securities, etc. It also undertakes
to analyze the relative im a
portance of agriculture in the dif- n
ferent sections of the country. ti
Income as defined in this report is v\
the money value of all the goods and o
services produced during the year, fl
The sources on which the estimates 0
are based are the Income Tax Re- g
norts, Census Reports, wages data, ei
reports of the Department of Agri- ir

Cuba Turns Again to
Spain For Population t!
X li
Havana, Cuba, Aug. 20.?Increase a
in the population of Cuba from 3,- 01
000,000 to 10,000,000, mainly through 0]
Spanish immigrants, is one of the
purpose's of the new secretary of 62
state, Carlos Manuel de Cespedcs, T
former Cuban minister at Washing- 8<
ton.'
The secretary believes that Span- tt
ish immigrants, for numerous rea- rt
sons, will make the most desirable h
additions # to Cuba's population, and w
is holding conferences with his colleagues
on the best methods to bring it
these elements to the island. The
necessity of checking the flow of 'a
workers from Cuban cane fields to ei
Spain, caused by unfavorable eondi- a
Mons, and the advisability of counter- *
acting the flood of Chinese, Jamai- 91
cans and Haitians is being stressed
by Dr. de Ceapedes.
In 1877, Thomas A. Edison spoke
into the first model ?phonograph
rpeaking mouthpiece: "Mary had*a \
little lamb..." Upon examination he o
found identation on the tinfoil record.
He replaced the record, turned the v
crank and back from the cylinder J
cam's a thin voice but without a word h
of the recitation missing. Thus was
born the phonograph. I

tbbas Hilmi Hope*
To Return to Egypt
Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. 18.?Abas
Hilmi, at one time Khedive of
'gypt, who has decided to spend part
f his exile in Switzerland, says that
imericans, rather than British or
'rench, were the first to aid modem
:gypt to consolidate the military
nd commercial strength of the new
ation.
"American officers," said the ex[hedive
to an Associated Press corespondent,
"instructed and trained
he Egyptian military staff and i
bunded military schools in Egypt j
efore the French and English fcr- ]
ived, and those schools were the ba- i
is of. the preserft military foxee ' in (
Igypt. The American military mis- |
ion remained in Egypt ifrom 1870 to i
880 and, under
Ti''*' *tMng wner-J , .
ions against the Sudan and /iDysinia.
,' ,
"Egypt owes her cotton industry, ]
lso, to the United States," continued <
Lbbas Hilmi. "The first plantings (
rere made with American seed ami ]
rom these there has grown the pro- <
uction of a staple that is now sold |
11 over the world." <
Abbas Hilmi still clings to the hope t
hat he will some day be able to go ,
ack to Egypt and rule over his peo- \
le, who, he declares want him to <
ome back, and this in spite of ther^
mciai aecree issued by the present ,
Igyptian governpient recently deckarig
that if he returns he. will be snv- .
ested and escorted to the frontier.
I have proofs," he said, "that my
eople want me back in Egypt, and
ne day, perhaps, when the British
ave left the country I shall return
nd rule over them again."

These economy tejts, according to
arbureter manufacturers, taught
hem a lesson that will show next ^
rear in improved design, but so far
here has been no revolution in engineering
that is applicable to auto- 4
nobiles in general. <
Racing tests, however, give a mis- <
eading idea of results, for the cars ,
hat then average 60 miles to the
gallon operate normally at about 35
niles to the gallon. The difference
s explained as due to six factors:
;he use of a special gasoline; equipnent
with the best .carbureter; carjureter
adjustment 1 to get a weak
nixture that would not serve in oriinary
driving; expert driving; perfect
mechanical condition of the car 4
ind special adjustment of the motor ?
:or high compression, and pronounced
advance of the spark.
The reasons for the better results
obtained by French cars over their
American competitors are attributed
:o several things. The American
:ars were heavier, and it was mathematically
certain that it would take
more fuel to drive the greater weight,
particularly as the American cars
travelled 20 percenfcif aster. The American
cars alt^ higher from
the ground and ifiet greater wind resi^^^^also
the American cars had

When the'different ^conditions to be
met by the French add the American
manufacturer are considered, expertio
not generally feel that there is
any remarkable superiority in the
French car. These differences grow
)ut of costs of operation and the
temperament of the ppblic. Gasoline

makers, therefore, find it profitable

several ways, but principally l?y havng
a well-finished, small motor, with
elatively high compression, turning
yver at a high speed. Some small
motors .make 4,000 revolutions per
minute, and Trench racing cars approach
6,000 revolutions per minute,
rhe French are educated to look more
;o gasoline consumption* than to speed

nnall motor with four apeeds, and
hey aTe cpntent to shift gears constantly
so as to save gasoline.
Americans over here sometimes
vender whether the higher original
ost of French cars really offsets the
saving in gasoline. French cars correspond
in size, power, appearance
ind ability to travel coat much more
;han their American rivals. Ameriran
quantity production* accounts for
