for either of the native-born groups, the Germans, with 58.3 per cent, showing the largest, and the Poles, with 16.3 per cent, showing the smallest figure. Again, in the matter of receiving payments from boarders or lodgers the foreign-born show the largest number of families deriving incomes from that source. The Poles, with 37 per cent, and the Irish, with less than 20 per cent, show the highest and the lowest figures, respectively. Aside from the South Italians, who show over 25 per cent of families, each race shows only a small proportion of families receiving incomes from other sources than those heretofore enumerated.

The next table submitted shows, by general nativity and race of head of family, the source of family income in detail.

The above table shows that of 287 families selected for study, 44.6 per cent have the entire income from the husbands, 2.1 per cent from the husband and wife, 17.1 per cent from the husband and children, 24 per cent from the husband and boarders or lodgers, 0.3 per cent from the children and boarders or lodgers, and 11.8 per cent have the entire family income from sources or combination of sources not before specified. The families the heads of which are native whites born of native father show the highest percentage having the entire family income from the husband, followed by the families the heads of which are native-born of foreign father and those whose heads are foreign-born, in the order named, in considerably smaller proportions. The families

the heads of which are native-born of foreign father show a higher percentage than do those of foreign birth depending upon the husband and wife for the entire income, while no families the heads of which are native whites born of native father have the entire income from this source. The families of foreign birth show the highest percentage having the entire income from the husband and children and from the husband and boarders or lodgers, followed by the families whose heads are nativeborn of foreign father and those whose heads are native-born whites of native father, in the order named. The families whose heads are native-born of foreign father show a small proportion deriving the entire income from the children and boarders or lodgers, as contrasted with no families the heads of which are native-born whites of native father or those whose heads are foreign-born. The families whose heads are of Irish parentage show a higher percentage than those whose heads are of German parentage having the entire income from the husband and children, from the husband and boarders or lodgers, from the children and boarders or lodgers, and from sources or combination of sources not before specified. The families whose heads are of German parentage show the highest per cent having the entire income from the husband and the husband and wife. The Polish families show the highest per cent having the entire income from the husband, from the husband and wife, and from the husband and boarders or lodgers. The German families show the highest per cent having the entire income from the husband and children and the families whose heads are South Italians the highest percentage having the entire income from sources or combination of sources not before specified.

RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF DIFFERENT SOURCES OF FAMILY INCOME.

The extent to which the families studied depend upon the designated sources of income is set forth in the table next submitted, which shows, by general nativity and race of head of family, the percentage of total yearly income from husband, wife, children, boarders or lodg ers, and other sources.

REGULARITY OF EMPLOYMENT.

As throwing light upon the regularity of employment, as well as the relative industriousness of the different races and nativity groups of employees of the industry, the table presented below will be found useful. It shows, by general nativity and race of individual, the months worked during the past year by males in the households studied who were 16 years of age or over.

The males who are native-born of foreign father show the highest percentage who worked six months or over and three months or over, followed, in the order named, by those who are native whites born of native father and males of foreign birth. Of the native-born of foreign father, the males of Irish parentage show the highest per cent who worked twelve months and six months or over, while both the males of Irish parentage and those of German parentage show the same proportion working nine months or over, and both show
