ROYAL TRIBUTE
: PAID TO new
e AUTO MODELS
National Motor Show Puts
1880 Creations Before
Driving Public.

BIZ Tinted Press
NEW YORK. Jan. 6.-The many
new features shown in the expOsi-
ton Of motor cars and accessories in
the thirtieth anniversary national
automobile show, now open here, are
attractinS one of the most enthuSi-
astie throngs that has attended the
annual exhibit. The show opened
Saturday in Grand Central palace.
The manufacturers have concen-
trated on luxurious accessories and
refinement of body design in their
1890 models. There is more that is
truly new to be seen this season
than at any show in the past.
While Improvements in mechan-
zeal fundamentals are many. the ad-
dition of such features as radio, in
the more expensive automobiles,
more roomy and attractive bodies in
all makes are stressed.
The exposition has filled the four
floors available to capacity and
larger crowds are anticipated than
at any previous show. A spirit OF
optimism among the manufacturers
prevails despite rumors during the
autumn that the industry might be
affected by the stock market crash.
An elaborate program Of meet
ings, luncheonS and dinners was
held today, International day on
the schedule. The reception to for
eign visitors took place this morn
ing, to be followed by the interna-
tional luncheon and international
trade conference this afternoon.
The show has attracted wide at
tention abroad. Baron J. De
Kahma-Kauffman cabled from Paris
congratulations to Manager S. A.
Miles and the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce upon the
suspicious opening. The baron is
president of the International Ex-
position of American Import Trade,
to be held in New York next Au-
gust.
He predicted that European ac-
cessories will be marketed in greater
numbers in the United States dur
ing 1880.
The number OF out-of-town Wis
itors attending the show, including
dealers. is larger than usual.

Announcement Of sources Of In

prosperity, considering all factors
Of business and financial condi-
tions, gave rise today to wide
spread speculation in official cir

there were 43,184 individuals
whose incomes exceeded $4,000,
District Is Leader
The District Of Columbia, with
eight per cent Of its population
filing individual income tax re-
turns in 1928, set the pace for
the 4S states that year.
Two residents of Washington
recorded incomes in excess Of a
million dollars that year. Alabama
had two in the million dollar in
come class. California, Z; New
York had three with incomes Of
more than 100000.
The average income Of the
A,1S3 persons filing individual
returns in the District was $S,-
151.77. The total tax was ST.
474,643 and the average tax
$169.17.
In the District 346 persons with
incomes Of $4,000 or higher re
ported.
For 1928 profits drawn from
speculation amounted to $2,928,.
141, 900, as compared with $1,813,-
S95, 300 for the year before. Spec
ulative losses were 71,743, 100.
Income tax collections paid
this year, based on incomes Of
1929, showed few losses except
those occaSioned by the l per
cent decrease in the normal tax.
Sources Show Changes
There will be substantial
changes in the sources of in.
come. It was thought probable
that capital net gain from the
sale of assets held more than
two years would show a material
increase in 1929, as those who
had held stocks for a consider
able period anticipated the mar
ket recession and "unloaded."
Dividends on the stocks of do
mestic corporations undoubtedly
were larger in 1929.
It will require several months
before the preliminary statistics
OF income for 1929 are announced.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue
will begin a study of the returns
on 1880 incomes, which will, show
probably enormous losses from
every source, as soon as the re-
turns are filed, March IS.
AS compared with the $6Ol, ,OOO,-
900 in income taxes collected in
March, 1880, it was anticipated
there would be a several hundred
million dollar loss.

2 new SCHOOL
BUILDINGS RISE

'The record of school house
construction submitted in this
chapter is unparalleled in the
history Of the schools Of Wash
ingtOn."
This was the statement made
by DR.. Frank w. Ballou, Super1n-
tendent Of schools Of washington,
who recently submitted his an
nual report Of the work OF the
Board Of Education.
Working on the basis Of the five
year school building program act,
which was approved by Congress
on February 26, 1925, and which
was to cover a period ended June
80, 1890, the Board Of Education
has now completed the work.
Within five years, the report re-
veals, 16 new elementary school
buildings have been built, having
total Of 100 new rooms. Five
new junior high schools have been
constructed, with q pupil capacity
Of $500. In 1929, the new McKin-
ley High School was ready for oc-
cupancy, with its enormous stu
dent capacity Of 1880.
This period also has been pro-
ductive in construction Of addi-
tions to buildings. Ninety-Seven
rooms in II school houses were
built. Five Junior high schools
were built up to attain an addi-
tionl pupil capacity Of 1.750 stu
dents, and two high schools, West
ern and Armstrong, were recon
structed to hold 1900 additional
students.
