Riker's Tropical Temperature.

Turned into city dump, many years
ago, Rikers Island, In New York Har-
Dor, grew to be a place of some
considerable size and, in order to keep
it in check, it was decided to burn the
refuse as it was deposited. This fire
was started IL years ago and it was
not many years before it was realized
thai the fire was beyond all control.
Many efforts have been made in recent
years to quench the flames, without
any perceptible result For the last
two years there has been a con-tant
stream of water at the rste of $500
gallons a minute p:ured into the un-
derground fire. The igl~nd is now
being used as pr:-on end as rcc-u;t
of the fire Rikers Island enjoys
tropical temper: ture during the entire
Winter without regard to the tempera-
ture OF the City of New York only
few miles away. The gardens and
truck patches operated by the pris-
oners flourish with luxuriance. Two
crops of vegetables each year Ii the
regular thing on Rikers Island. Snow
and ice never linger there.

Dealer sales of General Motors, in
Guiding Canadian AMI overseas ship
ments, in December totaled 80,o06
units, the largest for the month in
the company's history. This was due
principally TO the introduction of new
Chevrolet models in November instead
of in January. For the year of 1890
dealer shipments aggregated 1,l74,1l5
units, 1871 per cent below 1929 and 35.l
per cent under 1929 Domestic con-
sumner sales for December were 81 per
cent ahead of 1929, but for the year
29.4 per cent smaller. For the year
1880 retail sales exceeded sales to do
mestic dealers by 22.050 units.
Electricity production figures continue
TO make poor contrasts with a year
previous. Output for the United States
In the week ended January 10 was SIS
per cent below the like 1880 period; in
the preceding week decline from year
ago was 4.8 per cent Decline from

COM MISSION SELLS
100000 BOND ISSUE
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Improvements Are to Be Made
With Proceeds.

A $500 600 bond issue of the Washs
ington Suburban Sanitary Commission
was awarded to Harris, Forbes &, Co.
of New York yesterday at the rate Of
S93.315g The bonds, known as series
wv" were recently authorized by the
Public Service Commission and the
proceeds from their sale will be used for
important sewer and water construction
work in Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties
The same bonds were offered for sale
on December II, the high bid at that
time being only $9415. The commission
believed this figure too low and rejected
all bids.
The wisdom of this action became
apparent yesterday when much more
favorable bids were received. Oficials
of the commission state that by read
vertising the bonds and delaying their
sale until yesterday a saving of ap-
proximately $4,000 was effected
Among the projects to be financed by
the sale of the bonds are the extension
of the northwest branch sewer, the
North Woodside- Chevy Chase water
line and installation of a sewer system
in Seat Pleasant.
Although the bond issue will enable
The commission to complete numerous
long-sought projects, it will not cause
an increase in the sanitary tax rate, it
was said. T. Howard Duckett, chair
man of the commission, explained that
the increase in the front foot and other
assessments produced by the sanitary
Improvements will be used for payment
of the interest on the bonds.

Despite Depression.

washington secured new business in
1880 to the amount of $7,658,045, or
an average Of $4,000 per member.
Furthermore, so per cent of the mem
bers wrote more new insurance during
1880 than in 1929, in spite of the pre-
vailing depression.
The highest average amount of In
surance written by the agents of any
one company in the United States dur
ing 1880 was 100000. This means that

at the Shoreham last evening rendered
the local offices. Scores Of other equally
interesting facts we're brought out
which indicated that the insurance
business is in a very favorable con-
dition.
Short talks were made by nearly all

being Thomas M. Baldwin, superin-
tendent of insurance in the District of
Columbia. Another special guest was

Insurance as Investment.
Insurance enthusiasm ran high during
the talks. A. L. Baldwin declared that
agents should never use the term car
~" in connection with insurance. They
should say a man owns" so much in
surance and present the idea on the
soundest business and investment basis.
Other speakers stressed the harmony

Hope for Improvement.
THE industry is not alarmed because
Of the slow pickup in general demand
believing that acceleration will follow
the accumulation of large tonnage busis
ness. In this connection particular en-
couragemsnt is afforded by the placing

10000 tons of line pipe, $4,000 tons
for ships and barges and 100000 base
boxes of tin plate.
Raw steel output for the country at
large, Al per cent week ago, is now
close to A per cent OF capacity, and
the rate of the steel corporation Is eS-
timated at two to three points above
the general average. Two banked steel

gone into blast in the valleys.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, January Is H).-Scarcity
of offerings resulted in brisk fresh up
turns of wheat early today, but selling
enlarged and the gains gave place in
reactions. July wheat, representing the
new crop, fell back l3s cents. Closing
of spreads between corn and wheat had
much to do with fluctuations. Opening
at A5-cent decline to Scent advance,
wheat rose all around, and then re-
coded. Corn started ha1a-eent lower,
and continued to decline.
On transient bulges, wheat touched
the best prices since October "a. Buy
ing on the upward swings, however,
came chiefly from previous sellers ad-
justing accounts. Argentine adv1ceS
said wheat exports had commenced and
clearances were expected to increase.
Corn market declines were in the face
Of persistent smallness of primary re-
ceipts, although Nebraska and North
ern Kansas reported a pickup In the
movement. Total primary arrivals
were 594, 900 bushels, against $4,000 a
year ago, but were somewhat larger
than last week.
