Market Outlook.

NEW YORK. May % Especially -
Convinced that the market for securi-
ties probably will be dull until after
the political conventions, Wall Street
today tried to evaluate factors over
the next few weeks rather than the
next several sessions.
The action of the biparty group that
asked Congress to lay aside political
partisanship and act without delay on
balancing the budget was hailed as
highly constructive. as was the Presi-
dents message denouncing the issuance
of bonds as unsound relief
Unfavorable long-term market fac
tors include: The lack of a balanced
budget, the political conventions. the
Lausanne Disarmament Conference
and international debts and repara-
tons. Favorable factors include: Re-
duction in debt-the Bank for Inter-
national Settlements within the last
year has liquidated go per cent of in
ternational short-term Indebtedness
gradual regaining of economic balance;
realization of need for international
cooperation and realization that there
is no legislative cure-all for the present
situation and that no permanent gain
would be made in debasing the cur
rency.

UPTURNS IN WHEAT
BRING OUT SELLING
Market Observers Believe the Sit.
uation Has Been Strengthened,
However.
BY FRANK /. WELLER.
Press Farm Editor


Upturns at the week end indicated
the entire wheat situation to be funda-
mentally stronger but no one expects
a runaway market. Traders continue to
take their profits on the bulges and the
result is numerous SetbackS.
Although crop reports from the Win
ter wheat belt and acreage estimates on
Spring wheat are bulliSh. they have not
induced sufficient buying to hold mod
crate advances. There still is lack of
aggressive leadership to commission
house purchases.
Some say that when the speculative
public appreciates the changing picture,
the market will have the breadth which
gives buOyancy and the ability to alb
s0rb profit taking while others believe
Winter wheat losses already have been
discounted and that prices finally will
be determined by the Spring wheat out
look.
The crop suffered severely during the
last week from dry weather in Texas,
Kansas. Nebraska and Colorado Dam
age from Fessian fly infestation was
reported in Kansas and Texas. Many
fields in Nebraska are being plowed up
for corn, and other thin stands that
are badly infested with the fly are said
to be hopeless.

Glen Echo Park thriving. The
amusement resort is daily the end
of-the-ride for hundreds of amuse-

to make whoopee at Glen Echo,

Interesting
Points

There are a great many fisher
men in Washington and to them,
SWann'S Hotel in Piney Point is
one of the most popular places.
Many a heavily laden boat with
tired but happy fishermen, elated
with their catches, has. pulled
into Piney Point.
Mago Vista is under the per-
sonal supervision of Mr.. Robert
c. Beason the owner, and is a
most attractive spot. To visit
there is to appreciate a beautiful
stretch of water, a good beach
and an extra fine dancing pavil-
ion. A well-known orchestra, the
Marylanders, which are under the
direction of Bill Fischer play
every Saturday night from 9 to
IL. Ample provision has been
made for parties and picnics.
Cobb Island is another place
where fishermen like to go. 1t
is an interesting place, where the
river is wide, and is an excellent
ground. Experienced fish
ermen take care of fishing parties
here.

Kenmore Tavern, which opened

Mr.. j. T. Horton, of Fred

has changed this old home into
a delightful hotel, without de-
stroying any of its old charm or
pleasing, homelike atmosphere.
Morgantown is an exceptionally

good place to rest and also a
popular place for parties and pic

Tips

Two things will add to the
popularity of Colonial Beach this
year. They are the regular sched-
ule of the Morgantown- Colonial
Beach ferries and the Wilson
Line steamers.
Good roads lead from every di-
rection into Fredericksburg, Va,
and from there Colonial Beach is
reached via a fine highway from
Oak Grove. The dusty old road
has been rebuilt into broad,
straight, hard pike.
Colonial Beach has a number
of first.class hotels and boarding
houses that are open all year.
Rates are low and a week or
month can be spent there on
vacation as reasonably as living
at home.
There is an excellent beach
where saltwater bathing can be
enjoyed. Fishing, boating, dane
ing, bowling are the chief enter
tainment features at Colonial
Beach. There is plenty Of fun
for the children and big shady
lawns for them to play on.

Folks Behind
The Microphone
BY THE RADIO EDITOR

UDDY ROGERS. although he
- rose to stardom In the movies,
n has always been primarily In
l. terested In music. It was this
interest which caused him to
retire from Hollywood at the height of
his sensational career and sign an ex-
elusive contract with the National
roadcasting Co. as an orchestra leader.
Buddy's early years are typical of
American youth. He was born in the
small Kansas town Of Olathe, . COM
country southwest Of Kansas City, and
attended public school there. His father
was proprietor Of the weekly paper.
Music was one Of Rogers earliest
hobbies. When he entered the Univer-
sity OF Kansas, Buddy was an enthusi-
astic trombone player and head Of
small orchestra. His first stage appear
ance was in a high-school production
of Clarence" but he had no interest at
that time in either theatrical or picture
work
Buddy's picture debut was as swift as
it was accidental. One day in 1925,
when his father was visiting a friend in
the Kansas City Paramount exchange,
he heard about the Paramount Pic
lures School in New York Mr.. Rogers
suggested that his son be given q test.
A few weeks later Buddy was sur
prised to learn that his test pictures
had won him a place in the school.
There he progressed rapidly, and in the
graduation picture, Fascinating Youth"
six months later, he played the male
lead
Soon young Rogers was sent to the
Coast, but returned to New York to
play part in w. c. Fields picture,
SOS Your Old Man" This picture was
followed by another trip to California
to appear in the war picture Wings"
Since then Buddy has played in 20
feature pictures But his success as an
actor didn't satisfy him. He was still
more interested in music 1t is under
standable, then, that when his most re-
cent contract expired he left the mov-
les and came East seeking q musical
career. He organized an orchestra and
obtained a vaudeville booking, meeting
with immediate success. Then followed
the exclusive contract with the National
Broadcasting Co.
