Wall Street is becoming more and more dependent upon women; the average space for each office worker in the financial district of Manhattan has been cut down over six per cent in the last decade; bankers maintain more magnificent quarters and give their employes less elbow room than all other tenants of the most pre tentious skyscrapers. These are the outstanding conclu sions of experts of the Building Own ers' and Managers' Association, after a survey of a group of the world's largest office buildings undertaken to obtain data for the use of architects in designing skyscrapers of the fu ture. Ten years ago, when the last accu rate door-to-door census of first-class office buildings in the Wall Street district was taken, it was found that there were four men employes for every woman, and that the average floor space for each worker was 125 square feet. A similar census in a typical office building recently revealed that in a total population for the structure of 10.868. the proportion of men to wo men was only two to one. and that the average working space nan uu reduced to 10 square feet.

IRON ORE RESOURCES OF WORLD MENACED BY RUST AND CORROSION CHICAGO, June 30. Battling rust and corrosion costs approximately two and a half billion dollars a year, according to W. J. Overbeck, super intendent of the DuPont Company of Chicago. "This sum spent annually to coun teract the ravages of corrosion and rust will give a fair idea of the total bill the world is paying for the slow decay of metals used Iu Industrial work, which are not protected against them," he declared. "It is a vital matter because the yearly waste Is making the Iron ore resources ot the world exhaustible within a measur able distance of time." PORTLAND, Ore.. July 1. "The 1924 revenue law enacted by the re cent congress contains several pro visions of interest to individual tax payers as affecting their federal in come tax," said Clyde Q. Huntley, col lector ot internal revenue, today. "However, the new law applies only to incomes for the year 1D24 with the exception of that provision for a 25 per cent reduction in the tax on Inilt vlduala which is made retror.ctlve und applies to individual incomes for the year 1823. "Briefly summartxed, tho Important changes Included in the new law with particular application to Individuals are; "Returns under the 1924 act are re quired of every single person whose net Income for 1924 was $1,000 or more or whose gross Income was $5,000 or more and of every married person whose net Income was $2,500 or more or whoBe gross Income was $5,000 or mow. Married persons not living together, such as divorcees or persons separated by mutual consent, are classed as single persona, as are widows and widowers. "There is no change In the exemp tion tor single persons, which Is $1,000. Married persons, living to gether, and heads of families are su lowed an exemption of $2,500, regard' lesB ot the amount of net Income. No change Is made In the provision nl lowing a taxpayer, in addition to his personal exemption, a credit of $400 lor each dependent. This $400 credit Is not allowed for the husband or wife ot a taxpayer, though one may be totally dependent upon the other. "Formerly, a taxpayer's status on the last day of the taxable year de termined the amount of his exemp tions. If be was married on Decern ber 31 he was allowed the exemption granted a married person for the full year ($2,000 or $2,500, according to the amount of net Income), though the ceremony may have been performed on that day. A person who became a widow or widower during the year and was not remarried on December 31 was allowed only a $1,000 exemp tion granted a single person. If dur ing the year the head of a family ceased the support in his home of relatives, he was entitled only to the ' $1,000 exemption.

The normal tax rates under the 1924 act are i er cent on the first $4,000 of net income In excess ot the personal exemption and the credits ior dependents, etc.. 4 per cent on the next $4,000 and per cent on the balance. The surtax rates range from per cent on net incomes between $10,000 and $14,000 tu 40 per cent on net Incomes In excess ot $500,000. "The revenue act of 1924 contains i special provision for reduced taxes on "earned Income," which did not appear In previous laws. All net In comes up to $5,000 is deemed to be earned Income. On this amount the taxpayer is entitled to a credit ot 25 per cent ot the amount ot the tax. For example, a taxpayer, unmarried and with no dependents, whose net In come for 1924 is $5,000 would pay. without this reduction a tax of l0. mis actual tax la IiiO. From his net income of $5,000 he is allowed a per sonal exemption of $1,000; the tax of per cent on the $4,000 of taxable Income is $S0. one-fourth ot which, or $20, may be deducted. In no case Is the earned net In come considered to be in excess of $10,000. A taxpayer, who receives a salary of $20,000, for example, can claim only $10,000 as "earned net Income." "In the case of a married man with no dependents whose earned net In come la $7,000 and who has other Income of $1,500. total of $8,500, the tax, without the benefit of the 25 per cent reduction would amount to $160 $8,600 less a personal exemp tion of $2,500 equalling $6,000 on which the la.: on the l'lrst $4,000 at i per cent amounts to $80, and on the next $2,000 at 4 per cent, to $80. On the earned net Income the tax amounts to $100 $7,000 less the ex emption of $2,600 equalling $4,600 on which the tax on the first $4,000 at 2 per cent amounts to $80 and on the remaining $500 at 4 per cent, to $20. One-fourth of the tax on earned net income, or $25, can be deducted from $160, leaving $136 aa the total tax payable. "On a net Income of $12,000 deriv ed by a taxpayer, unmarried and with no dependents, entirely from se curities, the tax, considering the first tfi.oou to be earned, amounts to $420. Computed without the benefit or the deduction, It would amount to $440. "Earned Income is defined aa "wages, salaries, professional fees, and other compensation for personal services actually rendered, but does not Include that part of the compen sation derived by the taxpayer for personal services rendered by him to a corporation which represents a dis tribution of earnings or profits rath er than a reasonable allowance as compensation tor personal services ac tually rendered. In the case of a tax payer engaged In a trade or business In which both personal services and capital are material Income producing factors, a reasonable allowance as compensation for personal services actually rendered by the taxpayer, not in excess of 20 per centum of his share of the net profits of such trade or business, shall be considered as earned Income, provided, that this al lowance does not exceed $10,000." It Is provided, also that In no case shall the 25 per cent credit on Earned In come exceed 25 per cent ot the tax computed in the ordinary manner. The limitation la applicable In cases where there is a loss, and the earned net Income la greater than the taxable net Income."

HEAVY SHIPPING F PORTLAND. Ore., July 1 Flour shipments from Portland during the first three weeks of June show 152, 67$ barrels. This Is a large Increase over April and May of this year and a 453 per cent Increase over June 1923. Shipments were made to China, Japan, Holland and Philippine Is lands. Flour exports for June look like those during the first three months of the year when record shipments were being mado each month. This Is the iHrgeHt shipment of flour from Portland In June for at least four years and probably some years previous to that. Included In the flour shipments was the cargo of the Anna E. .Morse which amounted to 69,061 barrels. This months fi gures will materially Increase the shipments from the Columbia Riv er during this fiscal year which will show 3.600.000 barrels. Among other cargo on the Anna E.

The meeting will begin August 14 and continue until and including August 24, and will be held in the fir grove on the Bellows property In West Roseburg. Mr. Bellows has very generously donated the use of the grounds to the Southern Oregon Conference for this purpose, and It la expected that this meeting will be the largest ot lta kind eve; held In this city. It has been some years since the Adventist people held a camp meetlng In Roseburg, aa other towns In the conference have offered ac commodations favoring the meetings, and besides the church endeavors to hold these anual sessions in various p.acea, so that all the people will have an opportunity of attending. During the ten days of the session In August there will be here a number of nationally known ministers and public speakers, and some of them have the distinction of having travel, ed extensively In Kurope and Asia, where duty calls them to look after the rapidly growing foreign work ot the denomination. Among the best known men who will be here from the East la Elder A. O. Danielle, of Washington. D. C, for many years president of the Gen eral Conference of the church, whose work has taken him to all parts ot the world. Elder gpauldlng, ot Wash ington, D. C, Is another of the emi nent speakers who will spend two or three days here during the camp meeting, while Elder Froom, of Nash ville, Tenn., editor ot the Watchman Magaiine, Is also among the list ot speakers from the Atlantic division. In addition to these speakers, Elder Morris Lukens, of Walla Walla, presi dent of the North Pacific Union Con ference, who Is also a gifted speaker; Elder Adams, Elder Conway and El der Peterson, all of whom are Identi fied with the general work of the de nomination. The big pavilion tent will be pitch ed Just off Umpqua Avenue, in West Roseburg, and In the grove adjacent will be room for the 100 or so family tents. Professor Rhoads said last evening that a lot ot new tents for family use had been ordered, and these will be supplied to those who do not have tents of their own. Alt of these tents will be erected on "streets" that will be laid out, and ev- -erythlng about the grounds will be planned with a view to perfect condi tions and pleasant surroundings. There will be ample parking room for autos, and probably from 400 to 600 people will be here from abroad to at tend the sessions. The grounds will be electrically lighted, city water will be piped to the tents, and perfect sanitation main tained. The entrance to the camp will be on Umpqua Avenue. llltlDKH I.
