Housewife May Blow Dust
From Highly Polished
Surfaces.

You have to have an ultra
modern taste" to fully appreciate
this picture, according to the folks
at AyreS who got it together. Be-
lieve it or not it's room full of
futuristic furniture with all the
trimmings. They call it the
happer's room.
To those who prefer their bed
room walls adorned with large pink
roses, or who love to awaken in a
room bordered with morning glories,
the modern wall paper comes as a
shock. 1t locks like a pen and ink
drawing, with its fine black lines
forming large diamond shapes on a
white surface.
The furniture is beautiful, even
if it is the shade of canned toma-
toes, and shaped like a group Of
glorifed soap boxes. 1t is built low
and close to the floor.
Housewives remove the dust by
blowing upon the lacquered surfaces.
The voluminous fringed floor lamp
has been replaced by a new inter-
probation of the boulevard lamp
post.
The flappers room marks d
Renaissance in window decoration.
Simple strips of expensive char
treuse chiffon cling to panes Of
opaque glass, which admit the light.
The most futuristic thing about
the fapper's room is the price Of
the furniture-you pay for it in the
future.

In the Stock Market
lBy Thomson & McKinnon)

NEW YORK, May Like thou
sands of others who viewed Mon
days session from close range, we
are convinced that the market gave
a remarkable demonstration of
strength. AS if according to sched-
ule, the oil stocks, particularly the
Standards, moved in volume and
price as in times when they stood
among the markets leaders. Dur
ing the day the credit situation re-
neWed its influence, again bringing
traders to the point of realization
that no market can hope continual
ly to move in one direction without
adjustments from time to time to
balance it with the money situation.
Whether a strong support will pre-
vail today throughout the entire list
is doubted. We believe that a more
Seiective list of issues will receive
attention among which will be
found those stocks regarded as hav-
ing special features and enjoying
the dignity of high grade invest
ment. AS constant dripping of wa
ter will wear away stone, so might
this constant reiteratlon of the dan
ger ahead signal change traders
from their present optimistic view.
This point is particularly applicable
this week for stock exchange loans
and possible action of Federal Re-
serve discount rate will be up for
consideration. Therefore, traders
must adjust their position to con-
form with these possibilities.

ket in general was irregular.

Fresh Buying
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review
today said:
Fresh buying was induced in the
early dealings by resistance shown
in the previous session to the rise
in Call Money to per cent. Most
observers felt that demand credit
conditions would work easier with
the passing Of the month-end
stringency, and this outlook slim
ulated further demonstrations of
strength in many sections of the
list.
Autos In Limelight
Automobile shares received much
attention today. General Motors
moved up ~ to 1905, followed by
fractional gains in Nash and
Packard, while Hudson scared Bis
points to 90. Buying in these issues
was based primarily on the excellent
showing Of their statements Of pro-
duction for April, issued today.
Call money eased off to 51s per
cent after renewals had been ar
ranged at s per cent and the whole
list took on better tone. Among
the best performers we're Electric
Auto Lite which rose 1914 points TO
a new high at 1875 and Reading
second preferred, up SIS at a record
for the year of sos.

Chamber of Commerce Re-
view for March Shows
Gain Over 1927.

Pre-Easter sales and the arrival Of
spring were responsible for larger
volume of business in Indianapolis
during March, according to the In
dianapoliS Business Review, pre-
pared by the statistical department
of the Chamber of Commerce and
published in the April number of
Activities.
Two of the lines of business re-
viewed, declined, but conditions on
the whole show considerable i'm
provement over March, 1927.
Although bank clearings advanced
from February, which were higher
than February, 1927, they were lower
in March than at the corresponding
month of last year, having dropped
from $1O1,906,00O in 1927 to $685.
$4,000 in March of this year.
Employment in the metal trades
was slightly lower this year than
last, although March showed large
gain over February; there were a.
1865 men on the pay roll in March,
as compared with 14,443 in March,
1927, and 1929 in February.
Building contracts are far ahead
of those of last year, new building
in March having exceeded that Of
last year by Ala per cent. During
the first quarter of the year there
have been started 1862 new projects
valued at $6,251,8OO, compared with
1877 projects valued at $4,465, ZOO of
last year.
Revenue freight originating in In
dianapoliS during March established
a new all-time record for volume. A.
total Of 1851 loadings was over Is
per cent greater than during March
of last year, and the seasonal in
crease over February amounted to
l4.4 per cent.
Postoffice receipts were slightly
higher this year than last, the in-
crease amounting to or per cent
over March, 1927. Bank debts were
higher in March than in February
and were far ahead of March, 1927.
Retail trade has been moving very
close to the level of last year but
showed a very slight increase dur
ing the last month over the corre-
spending month of last year. Live
stock receipts, although lower in
March than in February, were much
higher during the first quarter of
the year than during the same
quarter of last year.
