RETARDED OHIO PUPILS
COULD JOLT TREASURY
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK APRIL 8.-Despite the
treasury Of Ohio would be given a
severe jolt, If retarded pupils of the
states public schools were given an
extra year of schooling, figures cited
by Vernon M. Riegel. state superin-
tendent Of public instruction, show.
Eight thousand teachers, at annual
average salaries of $500 would be ne
cessary to bring all retarded pupils
to a normal basis, Regal declared,
That would mean total of s6,400, 900,
in salaries alone, he pointed out.
Under direction of the tate depart
ment of public instruction, survey
of 10000 pupils recently was made
by teachers, 1t was found 24-5 per
cent retarded at least one year. Car
rying out the same ratio, Reigel fig
ured the total pupils retarded would
be approximately 100000
eff every one Of these children
stayed to complete the eight elemen-
tary grades, taking as is evident nine
or more years to do it, Ohio would be
called upon to furnish this extra year
of schooling and foot the bill" said
Riegel "Of course, as a matter of
fact, most of these pupils drop out be-
fore they have finished the eighth
grade, and they do not all have to be
Schooled for this extra year or more.

AUTOMOBILE BUSINESS
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
SAYS MONTHS REVIEW


CLEVELAND, O., April S-A defin-
tie improvement in the automobile in
dustry is noticeable now, says the
monthly business review OF the fourth
federal reserve district. Each month
is showing an increase in sales. but it
may be a natural movement. it adds.
There appears to be no clearly de-
fined trend in the various manufactur.
ing lines in this district" the review
continues. THE hand-to-mouth policy
of buying, which has been the order
for some months past, still prevails
and while activity in some lines is on
the increase, in others it is on the de-
cline.
Ample evidence seems to be avail
able of definite improvement In the
automobile field.
According to figures prepared by
the National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce, covering reports from
about 1T manufacturers, shipments
during the month of February show
an increase of SO per cent over the
previous month.
Increase Forces
Manufacturers of passenger cars
in this district report that while i'm
provement has been gradual, it has
been more general and more pro-
nounced during the last two weeks.
Some plants are increasing forces
slightly, while others are working off
inventories Of nearly completed stock
which requires but few operatives.
There is a large potential demand
for motor trucks, but orders are being
held up by business houses until bust
ness conditions improve in their res
pective lines.
In the industrial truck and tractor
line. orders do not appear to show any
noticeable change. There is some in
dication. through inquiries and quota
tions, that some companies are consid-
ering the purchase of goods in the
near future, but actual orders being
placed are scattering and for small
quantities.
Forces at tire plants are being in
creased, and actual orders for March
show an Improvement over January
and February"
