 Aboard the South Express, ac- com panying Queen Victoria to Paris, Apgil 16.-UP)-The first day of the Queen of Spain in exile began drearily in an ordinary sleeping compartment of the overloaded south express carrying her to Paris.
 Queen Victoria, whose courage in the face of monarchical disaster in Spain has been mingled frequently with bursts of tears, retired shortly before midnight after a day of nerve wracking travel, changes of cars, mishaps and occasional bursts of cheering by sympathizers along her route.
 Her eyes were red with tears and her smartly-cut frock was rumpled and awry when she bade her two sons and two daughters good night as the train passed thruogh Bayonne last night.
 She kissed the Prince Of the As turias, who was heir to the throne, and Prince Don Jaime. She then

in JUNE-JULY

Big Problems Before Or
ganizatiOn's 18th Annual
Meeting at Chicago.

Chicago (ILNS)-The call for the
fifteenth annual convention of the
American Federation of Teachers has
been issued. The convention will be
held at the Congress Hotel here June
29-July 3.
This year when the schools of the
land and many teachers personally
have suffered under the chaotic eco-
nomic conditions, the deliberations of
this convention will doubtless be of
marked significance
Teachers who have been brought
into daily contact with the most dis
astrous of all effects of unemploy-
ment, poverty diseases in children,
will give earnest consideration to the
problem. Decrease in property values
with the consequent reduction in pub
lie revenues has produced financial
problems in school systems which
have been met by decreasing salaries.

INDUSTRY TURNS
CORNER, FIGURES
FOR MARCH SHOW
Worst Hole Since Gay Nine
ties" Begins to Lose HOr-
rOr-Sixty Industries Re-
cord Gains-Key Indica-
tors Turn Up.

New York City (ILNS)-The out
put of automobiles, steel, cotton cloth,
petroleum, electric energy and freight
car loadings each rose during the
first week in March.
If the rate of increase for the first
two weeks should continue throughout
March the months total would show
a gain several times as great as is to
be expected solely on seasonal
grounds.
When the most important March
returns are in, the advance guard of
economists and statisticians will be
pointing out that business is soundly
on the upgrade. But by time the
business public becomes convinced of
this fact it will be May-from two to
four months after the big corpora
,tions have adjusted their plans to the
public's requirements.
The question all ask is whether
business actively and as whole has
begun to rise out of the worst hole
it has been in since the "gay nineties. .
The best overall measure of indus
trial activity is probably the index of
the federal reserve board during
winter and early spring. This shows
the composite daily average produc-
tlon during each month of 60 leading
industries, taking the average of the
years 1923 to 1926 as 100. The De-
cember index read 78, January 80 and
February would indicate further in
crease. Standard Statistics shows an
increase of 2 per cent from January
to February. These points would in
dicate that the bottom has been
reached, industrially speaking, and
that we are on the upgrade.

PICKETING STOPPED

New York Supreme Court Justice
Harry E. Lewis enjoined picketing by
striking motion picture operators.
Theatre managers signed an agree
ment with dual organization, and
the unionists asked their friends not
to patronize these places.
The court declared that the right
of the plaintiffs "to enter into con-
tracts with the rival union can not
be questioned"
No one denied this right. The
unionists asked sympathizers not to
patronize the theatres and this point
is ignored by the honorable court.

Gently published Indicate for the first
time since the depression began an
Improvement greater than seasonal.
The Improvement indications are:
-Four of the five key business indi-
Gators used in the Times Weekly
Business Index turned up last week.
These four not only increased their
volume. but increased more than is
usual at this time of the year. The
other industry, steel, also increased
operations from 53 per cent of ca
pacity to SIS per cent, according to
Iron Age. This increase (nearly
per cent? in one week equals over half
of the increase to be expected in the
whole month of March, according to
the studies of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York based on the 10
year period from 1919 to 1928. Other
industries increasing output are pc
troleum, copper, lead, rubber goods
manufacturing, silk manufacturing.
Stocks Stop Piling Up
Stocks of raw materials are no
longer uniformly rising at a rapid
rate as in the the past 18 months.
Some, like rubber, lead, tin, are still
rising but in certain important indus
tries latest figures indicate that the
inventory situation is at least begin
ming to show signs of control Copper
stocks have been falling slowly but
steadily ever since November 1, 1880,
and have by now more than cancelled
the entire increase of the preceding
six months. This reduction of copper
stocks having been accomplished dur
ing the four months of the lowest
rate of industrial activity in eight
years, may not more rapid improve
ment be expected now that signs of
Improvement have begun to appear in
some of the leading consuming indus
tries, as automobiles and building?

B STREET SIGNS
TORN DOWN

Carrying out the Cooper reso-
luton, approved during the final
days of the Congress session, the
District Government, through its
electrical department, today be
gan the placing of street signs
changing B Street Northwest to
Constitution Avenue.
Representative Henry Allen
Cooper, who died suddenly Sun
day at the age of 80, was dean
of the House in age and length
of service.
When the resolution to change
the name of B Street passed, fol-
lowing a patriotic address by the
venerable Wisconsin member, all
members of the House arose and
applauded Cooper who was much
affected by the tribute.
B Street hereafter will be Con-
stitution Avenue from the foot of
the Capitol grounds to the
Memorial Bridge. Representative
sCooper pleaded that with the
development of the Mall, and the
Identification of the National
Capital, there should be street
named in honor of the Constitu-

he described as the greatest docu-

Discontinuance of the ascent
fee charge by the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company
each month for the use of the
French-type telephone may be
ordered by the Public Utilities
Commission.
The commission has taken
steps to determine whether the
charge is still justifiable, in view
of the length of time it has been
in effect. The company yester-
day submitted data in defense of
the fee charge, but the commits
sion indicated that it was not
satisfied with the explanation and
asked for additional data.
There are 168,400 telephones in
service in the District, the COM
pany informed the commission,
of which 21,400 are the French
type phone. The French phones,
the company reported, cost $9.05
each, while the old-type phone
cost only $4.99.
The company contended that
if the charge for the French-type
phones was discontinued, it would
undoubtedly bring about the dis
carding of 10000 old-type phones
and would cause an increase in ex-
pense of approximately $4,000
and reduction of $780, 900 in the
company's earnings.

HOLIDAY USE.
WATCHED

Assured that there will be no
"hitch" in putting the half-holi-
day act into effect Saturday, Gov
ernment employees are now con-
centrating on the problem of how
their first four hours of the new
freedom" are to be spent.
Their program for the day will
be eagerly watched by merchants,
movie theaterS, and other inter
ests whose activities have been
built around the Government
work schedule.
Only a few of the employees
will try to make a weekend of it
out of the city, it is believed.
Rules Being Drafted
In some of the departments
regulations governing the half.
holiday probably will be ready for
distribution early next week. Of
ficials said workers will be told
that under the law they will be
obliged to take their half-holiday
on the appointed day unless
there is a specific departmental
reason why they should postpone
it.
Secretary Of Labor DOak was
the master StrategiSt" who inter
vened in the closing hours Of Con-
gress, to save the Saturday half
holiday measure, speakers de
cIared at a meeting Of Columbia

Sharing in the credit awarded
at the "jubilee meeting" was N:

of the International Association,
described as the father of the

sponsor before Congress for many
years.

to handle the fight on the propo-

Senate District Committee
Head Anxious to See Food
Investigation by U. S. Started

The doldrums settled on the
Capitol today following the ad-
journment Of the Seventy-first
Congress yesterday.
Members are busy clearing up
their legislative activities with a
view to deserting Washington in
the near future.
Explaining to Do
Several Senate committees are
to hold meetings in the next few
days at which their programs for
summer investigations and hear
ings will be drafted. For the most
part though activities are at an
end, except for explanations by
various members as to why GER
tain bills which their constituents
wanted passed have failed of en-
actment.
Senator Arthur Capper CRO
of Kansas. chairman of the Sen
ate District Committee, expects
to stay in Washington for about
two weeks, most of which time
he will devote to local affairs.
The Senator, however, also ex-
poets to watch developments on
the recent report which he made
as chairman of a Senate COM
mittee which investigated food
prices.
To See Probe Started
The report recon- mende
further study by the Department
Of Justice and the Federal Trade
Commission, and Senator Capper
will probably wait to see these
Investigations well under way.
Senator Capper also will prob
ably study the working out of
several local laws supported by
his committee which were en-
acted at the last session. The
Senator was greatly interested
in the reduced street car fare
for school children legislation
and he will no doubt watch the
Public Utilities Commissions
activities in putting it into ef-
feet.

RUM AUTO PAIR
HELD IN CHASE

The story of a wild 25-mile
chase, through Maryland and the
District, of a understanding
rum-laden automobile, as related
before j. Frank Supplee, United
States Commissioner, resulted in
the holding of two men for a
Federal grand jury in Baltimore,
yesterday.
The two men held are Paul
Hern and John j. White, both
charged with transportation and
possession Of liquor, assaulting
Federal officers, and interference.
Hern is said to live in Virginia
Highlands, Va, while White said
he lived in Washington.
According to the story George
c. Deyoe told the Commissioner,
he and Sergt. George Little, also
Of the police department, had
parked their car on Riggs Road
and were waiting for liquor run
ners. Then, he said, they saw the
automobile driven by White speed
past. They gave chase.
Speeding into the District, Ser
geant Little fired four shots at the
tires of the speeding vehicle.
Through the streets they sped at
a rate estimated at more than
so miles an hour. Near Silver
Spring, Md, Deyoe said, Hern
threw away the smoke screen ap-
paratus and then started throw
ing half-gallon jars of liquor in
the path Of the machine operated
by the officers.
