FOR CENTRAL

CHICAGO. April 20. General
ing capacity of Central Public
Service Corporations electric
properties was increased over $40
per cent during 1890, the corpo-

Daily generating capacity at
the close of 1880 was 363,811
horsepower, compared with 1O5,-
148 horsepower at the close of
1929. The proportion of hydro
electric generating capacity also
increased sharply. comprising 39.5

Business Sentiment Here
Found Hopeful Waiting

A survey of sentiment in Wash,
ington toward the general bust
ness outlook in the United States
made by the Standard Statistics
Company Of New York, follows,
in part:
Business observers in Wash
ingtOn have definitely aban-
dOned all hope that the sea.
sOnal spring revival will dew
velOp into a near-term cyclical
trade recovery: rather, most
authorities are beginning to
designate fall as a more likely
time Of betterment.
Having made a sizeabIe er-
rOr of Judgment a year ago,
Washington is now declining to
be caught in a similar mistake
at this time. The tendency to
array the most favorable fac
tors. with the idea of creating
a good psychology is not now
being entirely pursued by
Washington officials.

Insurance Agents Recoups
Stock Losses by Work

Life insurance is being written
at about the same volume in
1881 as in the boom year of
1929, largely because agents have
forsaken the stock ticker and
gone out after business, accord
ing to H. Bernard Lemon, assist
ant in the insurance department
of the Chamber of Commerce Of
the United States in a talk to
the Commerce and Economics
Club of George Washington Uni
versity. He said:
Just Dug for Business
"The agents made UP their
minds that the business was
there and that they would have
to dig for It, which may be q
good policy for all lines Of in
dustry in the present depres-
sion.
During 1880 a total Of $751;
100000 worth Of life In
surance was written in the
United States, or One-Sixth of
all life insurance in force. The
number Of policy holders was
68,OOO,OOO, which included 1,OOO,-
900 new policy holders added
during 1880. The value of the
life insurance written in 1880
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1931-04-29

was So per cent of the total for
1929 and $1,000, 1000, 900 over the
preceding five.year average.
THE first three months Of
1881 have been IS per cent Of
the same period in 1880 in
point of life insurance policies
written, but the first three
months Of 1880 exceeded the
like period in 1929, so that the
present quarters total will be
very close to the same quarter
of 1929.
Better at Own Trade
"All this seems to bear out
the theory that agents who had
lost money in the market
worked harm last year at their
own trade and left Wall Street
alone"
Total life insurance in force
according to Lemon, is $108,500,
100000. At the past rate of in
crease, he said, this can be in
creased to about 100000, O00, 00C
by 1912, which indicates the op
portunity to those entering the
life insurance field, with inten
ton to accept and apply train
ing and determination to make
it permanent occupation.

.HANEY ADVISES
FORGET PAST
AND FIGHT
Time for Business Men to Put
Stock Market From Minds
and Hustle Trade, He Says
BY LEWIS HANEY

No great change is apparent in
the business situation. AS a gen
eral proposition, it continues to
be unfavorable, with weakness in
commodity prices probably the
outstanding feature.
Wholesale trade is mostly dull.
Retail trade, aside from some sea-
sonal stimulation here and there,
is backward.
Another deficit reported by
Montgomery Ward for the first
quarter despite considerable
economies) is ground for thought.
Seasonal Changes
OF course, the sagging tendency
is partly due to the seasonal let
down which usually occurs at
this time of the year. But one
must admit that there is more to
it than this.
For example, building activity
usually gains at this time, but
has recently been on the decline.
The reaction in steel making
activity has also been somewhat
greater than can be explained by
merely seasonal conditions.
It now looks like the necessary
deflationary operation is going to
be performed on the business
patient. Then in due course he
will get well.
The plain fact is that April Is
turning out to be a disappointing
month.
Prospects Doubtful
Probably second quarter earn.
ings will be no better than those
for the first quarter. A prolonged
period of irregularity and read
justment lies ahead.
The thing for business men to
do now is to forget about the
stock market, ignore the babbling
of optimistic "forecasters," and,
with all possible economy, plan
ming and hard work, fight for
their business lives.

United Aircraft and Transport
Corporations subsidiaries for the
first quarter this year indicate a

all charges, including taxes,
equivalent after preferred divi-
dends to between 20 and Is cents
O share on the 2,083, 223 shares Of

$50 common shares.
Watch AutOgirO
Col. E. A. Deeds, formerly a
Washington resident, who pre-
sided at the annual meeting in
New York, said there was slight
improvement in this quarter over
the preceding quarter and the
outlook was good for the next six
months.
Asked about development of the
autogiro plane, Colonel Deeds
said there is close contact be-
tween the Pitcairn Company and
United. but no negotiations had
been going on with the other
company. However, United is
not overlooking autogiro develop
ment.
Colonel Deeds stated that pas
senger service had increased be-
You'd expectations and that it
lookS as if gain in passengers
would very quickly offset reduc-
ton in mail rates.
Quarter Records
In the three months previous
to the reductions on mail con-
tracts the company's planes car
ried 1,266.255 pounds of mail and
flew 1,931,593 miles. Gross reve-
nues amounted to $2,186,737.
In the months of November,
December and January. last. the
first three months of operation
under the new contracts, the
company's planes carried 1885,
407 pounds of mail, and flew
1,883,374 miles. Revenues for
that period totaled $1,931,780.
Thus, with decreases of only
1920, or 2.5 per cent, in miles
flown, and 7O,848, or Sc per
cent, in pounds carried, a de-
cline of $256,836, or lit per cent,
was experienced in revenues for
the three-month period, or an
average of $85 900 a month.
