The commerce department said so in a survey of income payments to individuals during the years 1940 through 1944. , The survey showed per capita income for individuals jumped from $575 in 1940 to $1,117 in 1944, or an increase of 94.3 per cent. The figures were reached by dividing total income by the civilian population. "A striking war-period development," the department noted, "was the partial reduction of the broad geographical differentials in per capita income." What happenedi was that, because of war activities and population shifts, per capita income gains spurted more sensationally in so-called low-income states than in high-income states. "The net effect," said the depart* ment, "was that from 1940 to 1944 the over-all per capita income of the 32 low-income states advanced from approximately one-half to threefifths of the comparable average for the high-income states." The trend was for income and the Southeast, Southwest and West to come closer to the income levels of the East and Midwest.

Lessons of War on Fire Fighting Help in Peace WASHINGTON, D. C. -- Fire fighting techniques developed by the navy during the war may revolutionize postwar civilian fire fighting organizations. Naval methods were credited with saving uncounted lives and millions of dollars' worth of property, including such vessels as the aircraft carrier Franklin, Bunker Hill, Saratoga and Ticonderoga. The navy said recently that the practical results of its techniques promise to save billions of dollars for property owners in years to come. All applicable details of its equipment and method^, the navy said, will be given freely to civil fire departments, industrial firms, fire protection and insurance organizations. Already a large pe?centaj}e of the members of the Boston fire department has been trained in navy methods. In addition to fog nozzles and foam, navy developments include a portable oxyacetylene cutting outfit, permitting quick cutting through Of steel decks and bunkheads, and an oxygen rescue breathing apparatus which generates its own oxygen and removes impurities from exhaled air.

It is not only enormous in size but is also one of the most delicately balanced structures on the face of the earth. There are many reasons why this great system works so well and is universally used.

Mope than these even, the progress of uie telephone in America nas sprung from the initiative, the spirit of fair play and the common sense "bf the American people. The public looks forward to the same kind of progress in the future that has been achieved in the past and for the same reasons.
