In spite* of tin' Man dishtiients of banks there remain those with money who have no use for them, old stockings and ginger jars still serve its family hanks; the waitress corner has hy no means lost its financial significance. In sueli se cret hiding places more than $-100, immMhh), j( js estimated, is now "salted aw ax ." Tell the budgeting* banking house wife that hoarding still goes on and yon will astonish her. Vet perhaps she, herself, is guilty of saving in a "penny hox" for some cherished purchase. She enci Mirages little Johnny and Sue to drop their nickels and dimes into a toy savings hank; then they are hoarders, too. Foreigners and farmers are respon sible in the main for the unbanked mil lions. Fresh from Europe's insecurity, l he immigrant fears and distrusts everyone, lie toils in pit, factory or mine, dreaming of ^achieving luxury and leisure at home, and scrimping to store up as much of his wage as pos sible to make that dream come true. Uemote and isolated farmers often have 110 convenient access to banks. If they would save, they niust liter ally hold their cash in hand. How the Count Is Made. Uesides. there are genuine misers. These take pleasure in lingering their wealth and gloating over the pile, l'lcnty of these are left. Hoarding has increased about $100. (HHMKMi within ten years. At the out break of the World war the nation's noai'd was estimated at .S.S0H,i)iM),tHiti. Then came a drop. Many foreigners, returned tw their native lands, taking their money with them. American boa nlers were induced to convert some of their cash into Liberty bonds. War Savings slumps and the like. Others, broadened by the wider contacts of army service, came out of the back woods and put their savings into the banks. Still others bad to draw on the hidden board to meet the increased cost of living, or to indulge them : selves in silk shirts and automobiles. Wages soon soared; with more mon ey coming in. more was secreted. Thus the "iron men" shoved into casual re ceptacles in dark corners gradually in creased again till they amounted to over $400,000,000. That is the esti mate Of .Joseph S. McCoy, United States treasury actuary. For the American Hankers' association he ex plained. bow lie arrived at the figure. It is a fair guess, lie holds, that of t lie G.000,000 foreign-born wage earn ers in the United States, 2,000,000 hoard their savings." lie supposes that at least half of these must have been laying by 50 cents a week for an ave rage of three years, making $75,(X)0,000 altogether. The other half, he thinks, must have saved twice that amount, bringing the total of the transient for eign-born workers to $225,000,000. From the 11)20 census, .Mr. McCoy learned that approximately one-fourth those engaged, in all occupations were farmers. He assures, therefore, that one- fourth the increases in deposits in savings institutions that year ? about $250,0t:<>.t?<l? were made by farmers. If sNine proprietor-farmers deposited that much, he deduces, their help must have hoarded half that much, or an average of $11.50 for the 11,000, 000 farm workers, which brings the total so far up to .$.'550,000,000. In addition, be says, there are about S.Ot'O misers, each having, in seven or eight years, accumulated a pile of $5, 500. or a total of $4 4,000, 000. Then, there are also some 500, (.MHJ persons Senator Means Now a D. S. M. Secretary of War Weeks pinning the Distinguished Service .Medal on Sen ator Kite W.

It Is Faint Star Cloud Known to Astronomers as NGC 6822, Say Harvard Scientists. Cambridge, Mass. ? Determination that I tie object in the universe most re mote from the earth anion;' those vis ible through the highest powered tele scopes is the faint star cloud known to astronomers as NCJC GS22'is one of the latest contributions of the Harvard Mtilege ohservatory to astronomical lore. Through studies made under t lie sn pervision of l'rof. Harlow Sliaple.v, di rector of the observatory, it has been '?stimated that '.his star cloud is about l.tHMi.mxi light years distant. In the anguane of the layman this means i iHsfam-e of approximately sixteen piadrillion. seventy triliion, four hun j 'red billion miles. * '?0"? thought by the as Duncan and Hobbs \? ? ? to be analagous to the Magellanic cloinis. Studies made at the Harvard i observatory, however, seem to indicate that it lies well outside the milky way system. It has been estimated that a dirigible making a nonstop flight and traveling niglit and day at a speed of (50 miles an hour would require 83, 31 fi, 000, 001) years to reach t his distant spot. Another accomplishment of the ob servatory is the recent completion of volume 09 of Harvard Annals, the lasi of nine volumes of the Draper cata logue, an astronomical work covering information concerning 250, 000 stars. Work on the Draper series, planned in detail bv Prof. William Henry Picker ing in 101 J, has been in progress for more than thirteen years. These volumes show the positions, magnitudes and spectral classes of the stars. Analyses of the data thus col lated are now in progress*. It is eati who keep nn average of $75 en Hi oji hand for emergency. These two classes ire holding on to some $81,500,000. Another $1,500,000 he credits to the oy savings hanks in the 21,000,000 Unerican families. There must he 2, iOO.OOO of these, he thinks, containing in average of (30 cents each. Mr. McCoy then begins all over again, seeking to reach the total hoarded sum by another method. Nation's Hidden Gold. The treasury's statement of the amount of money in circulation Is the basis of this check. There should be half as much gold coin as gold cer tificates in circulation, or $3.49 per capita. Hut gold <oin, being In infre quent use, lie figures that the amount of gold hidden away is at least $2 per capita, making a gold hoard of $225, (>00,000. of the outstanding $1,140, 100,270 in gold certificates he believes 50 cents a person, or $50,000,000, may be counted as hoarded, and of the outstanding $20.55 per capita in other forms of paper money, 00 cents per capita, or $07,000,000, may be counted as hoarded. The silver hoard he puts at $07,000, 000, allowing an average of 10 cents a person in silver dollars and of oO cents n person in subsidiary silver. By the first method ff computation he found the grand total to be $433. 000,000. By the second or check ing-up method he finds it a safe estimate that the amount of money withdrawn from circulation and hoarded at the present time by individuals In -the United States is $415,000,000. Employment Increasing, Federal Statistics Show Washington.? Industrial employment is on an upward trend, said a report by the employment service of the La bor department, which explained that while there was little actual reduc tion in uih oyment in February over January, there was an improvement in conditions because of seasonal changes. The bureau reported that the iron and steel industry is in a strong con dition, with almost nil plants in large steel centers on normal schedules, and further improvement is anticipated, particularly In New York. Pennsyl- j vania, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee and Alabama. Building remained somewhat cur tailed during the month, the report said, but the demand for farm labor increased. A slackening in the upward move ment of the wholesale commodity prices' for February was noted by the bureau of statistics. The February index number for nil commodity prices was 100.0, nn In crease of only six-tenths of a point over the preceding month. The In crease from December to January was three points. The figures cover a sur vey of 404 commodities, and are based ?n 100 as the level of prices in 1028. Women Enter New Fields in Civil Service Work Washington.? Knt ry of women ntu i new fields of work in recent years is j reflected in the records of civil service employment where they now hold j many positions for which they were j hardly considered in the past, said a j statement by the civil service com mission. While until recent years "it was dif licult to visualize a woman employee of the government in other than a clerical or stenographic position," the statement said, an increasing number are now being employed in t lie flelds of chemistry, physics and other scien tific work, in addition to teaching, nursing and social work. mated that on the spectra plates in t he Harvard collection there are 1,000, 000 faint stars still unclassified. . This priceless collection of astro nomical photographic plates, for years surrounded by a fire hazard, is now Wfll safeguarded. Professor Shapley said that tests had been made which demonstrated that the plates were se cure from either tire or water damage. They are kept in a brick storehouse, equipped with a water sprinkler sys tem. House Furnishing Goods Output Greatly Increased Washington.? The 1923 output of In dustries engaged primarily in the pro duction of house furnishing goods was valued at $00,1133; 182, an increase of 27.1 per cent, as compared with the last preceding census year of 1921. The figures, as announced by the cen sus bureau, included $11,932,707 for industries whose principal products were comforts, and quilts and $7,861, 000 for those engaged primarily in the manufacture of feather pillows and beds.
