world or materials to find things
that will satisfy them-and believe

For instance, one tennis frock

lutely stunning. The sleeveless

polka dots. Large ones at the bot
tom and getting smaller and smaller
toward the top. The neck, armholes

The college professors wife

He's never hungry-not

TTHE corners Of a room are at times a perfect
b~ugaboo, as far as furnishings are con-
cerned. I've often wonderd why architects
didn't round off corners in such a manner that
they would not be those harsh angles that
seem so stare-y and defiant. However, as long
as they seem to be one of the necessary evils, one
must devise ways and means Of lessening their
garishness.
One way in which this effect can be achieved
is by using a three or four fold screen and stand
ing it across a corner in such a way as to break
the angle. This is illustrated in the picture
above, where a Chinese corOmandel screen of

passed the shop window with doughnuts in it.

BUSINESS HOLDING
AT HIGHER LEVELS
Industry Continues Steady
Gains Despite UnfavorabIe
Factors-SaIes Large.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 31.-The business
situation furnished about the best pos
sible evidence of its class in the last
punishment" and come bac: strong.
Wheat dropped to the lowest level in
IA years. Other farm commodities
were affected. This put the agricul-
turists. who represent something like a
quarter of the buying power OF the
Nation, In an unfavorable position. In
addition the stock market took a stiff
Jolt on the chin. the punch being d.
rected by the uncertainty as to action
of the Federal Reserve Board.
DESPITE these facts, industry main
tanned it's extremely high pace without
a skip or culver. It failed to snort and
fume with Congress over tariff or farm
relief. eapportionment or questions OF
immigration.
Retail Trade Excellent.
Undoubtedly the factors mentioned
above and weather and high water con-
ditions in some districts had detri-
mental effect on retail sales in some
sections. but in general retail trade was
excellent. Clothing sales have shown
improvement as Summer lines have
come into demand. The only exception
Is the hosiery section, where heavy buy
ing by retailers has been delayed be-
cause of fear of a bare legged vogue
this Summer. Even hosiery firms, how
ever, show better profits than year
ago.
Leather and shoe lines might be more
active, but they are in far better po-
sition than in recent years. This is es-
peciallv true of manufacturers who
have their own retail outlets. Strikes
at domestic rayon plants have tended
to reduce production. and this has i'm
proved the statistical position of rayon
warns. since the threat OF over produc-
ton has been largely removed. The
rayon demand, however, Is closely allied
with the cotton cloths. underwear and
hosiery situation. Underwear is selling
in reverse order to its size. The smaller
the garment, the more popular 1t is.
Most silk manufacturers have sold
out their lines of printed silks and are
working on Fall goods. The prices OF
raw silk seem well established. Sup
plies of wool are increasing and de-
mand is not.
Steel Industry.
The steel mills are maintaining what
is practically capacity production. They
are being bolstered by the canning
trade, the automobile industry, the de-
mand for gas line pipe and building
materials. Any recession in production
can be laid to failure of equipment
rather than lack of demand. No i'm
portant price changes are anticipated.
Building projects have sprung up like
weeds in the last month. The volume
of money to be expended on them is
high above that for the corresponding
period of last year. This is strength
ening the lumber business. with untitled
orders high and new business in most
instances more than outweighing pro-
duction The cement producers are not
so fortunate. They are turning out

low and competition is such that any

unlikely until the country grows up
to present mill capacity. The demand
for builders hardware and plumbers
supplies is strong.
Automobile production still is estab-
fishing new record. The present out
put is so per cent greater than at this
time last year, but competition Is more
severe than ever. This Is true in the
foreign as we'll as the domestic field.
The agricultural implement makers
have been affected by the depression
in the agricultural districts.
Sales of aircraft are heavy. but
price cutting is reported in every di-
vision of the industry. The electrical
equipment industry is one Of the most
prosperous in the country.

EASING OF CREDIT
SITUATION EVIDENT
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 31.-The money
situation today was in striking con-
trast to that existing at any month
end earlier in the year. The renewal
rate today was per cent, figure
lower than any record on the last
day of any previous month in 1929.
On the last business day of jan
uary, call money was per cent all
day. On February % it ranged be-
% it renewed at IS per cent, dropping
to per cent on the close. On April
80 the reAesXal rate was ID per cent and
new loans %eke negotiated at IL and 10
per cent.
The usual explanation of month end
stringency is the interest and dividend
requirements. Probably these are not
especially large On the 1st of June.

EXTRA DIVIDENDS DECLARED

NEW YORK. May 81 C4o).-The New
Jersey Zinc Co. today declared two
extra dividends of so cents each, in
addition to a quarterly dividend of so
recently split up 4-for-l, on a So annual
basis, equivalent to So paid on the old
stock.
The extra dividends are payable
June IA and July 10 to stock of record
June l and June &c, respectively, while
the regular dividend is payable August
10 to stock of record July 20.
Directors of Parke, Davis 81 Co., have
declared an extra dividend of 10 cents
a share, together with the regular quar-
terly dividend of 25 cents, both payable
June 90 to stock of record June 10. The
company paid an extra 10-cent dividend
in the preceding quarter.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-05-31

but they are as large as those on the
LIST of March. The difference is. of
course, that now the stock market is
releasing credit, whereas at ether
month ends it was absorbing it.
There is the possibility that the
Federal Reserve interests believe they
have accomplished. in part at least,
what they set out to do. Liquidation
in the stock market has been forced
on an extensive scale. It would seem
that further efforts along this line
are not needed just now. Probably
this is the reason for leaving the
rediscount rate at 5 per cent.
