Men rank low in the scale of
human intelligence, according to
Mary Love Henry and Betty
Jacobs, girl guides at the Capitol.
The two are the youngest of
the 10 women employed as Cap
itol guides. Mary Love is % and
Betty is 20. Both have been
working as guides for about three
months.
Middle-aged women, the two
agree, ask the most intelligent
questions. Young women, single
ones, eye their guides over, and
boys try to make them laugh.
Brides pay no attention to them
at all, all their interest being cen
tered on their bridegrooms.
Brides Stand Out
Mary Love and Betty can spot
bridal couples a block away. The
brides absorbed interest in what
ever her newly made husband is
saying gives her away, they say.
Foreigners, especially Germans,
pay great attention to the guides
lecture. And when they do ask
questions they are intelligent, and
show that they have been listen

barometer" Industry Indi-
Gates Breaking Up of
Slump, Dealers Say

One of the most certain in
dications of a return to pros
perity after a depression comes
when the jewelry business be-
gins to pick up.
It was with great interest,
therefore, that The Washington
Times interviewed many Wash
ington jewellers, to determine
whether the NRA and the Buy
in September" campaign had
shown any effect on their trade.
Upswing Is Noted
Yes, there has been an effect,
they say. And it consists of a
noticeable recent upswing.
Here is what w. H. Bright,
general manager of Gait and
Brother, has to say:
Jewellers are the first to feel
a depression, and the last to
notice a return to better times.
I am happy to report a very
decided improvement in sales
in the last three months"
Pointing out that September is
usually one of the worst months
in his industry, Bright added:
"This is the first check in
a downward trend that has
been continuing for three years.
I think the Buy in Septem-
ber' movement is an excellent
idea. 1t is helping to put peO-
pie to work."
C. D. kaufman, president OF
the Franc Jewelry Company, notes
a decided upswing in the jewelry
business. He said:
"The jewelry industry is CO.
operating spIendidly with the
NRA, and we find that it is
stabilizing business. People
are crawling out of their shells
and beginning to buy again.
"They realize that jeweIry is
a stable commodity, and that
with things getting better prices
will rise. And so they are
buying now. Buy in Septem-
ber' is a splendid thing"
A similar encouraging report
came from an official OF Cas-
telberg's, who stated:
eve are pleased to say that
conditions are much better.

way and water departments Of
the District Government today
as the result of Director of the
Budget Lewis w. Douglas action

sioners made application for the
money more than two months
ago, but until last night Douglas
had refused to act.
To Proceed With Bridge
Release of the money, in addi-
ton to saving the jobs of many
District workers who would have
had to be laid off without it, will
enable the Commissioners to go
ahead with work on the new
Calvert Street bridge as soon as
plans and specifications are
ready.
The fund includes $575,O00 for
beginning work on the bridge.
A plan for the bridge has been
approved by the Fine Arts Com
mission. The architectural firm
of Modjeski, Masters and Chase
is preparing detailed drawings,
which are expected to be ready
in about two months.
Other Items Under Fund
In addition to the bridge prof.
ect. items to be undertaken with
the gas tax money are:
Paving Constitution Avenue
from North Capitol to Second
Streets Northwest, $45,740.
General repairs to streets,
$275,OOO.
Curb and gutter work, $751;
900. j.
Paving and resurfacing, $70,-
00O
Repair and repaving, $117,-
900.
The water tax fund will be
used as follows, resulting in the
recalling of some $50 men now
on furlough:
New pump at Anacostia
Pumping Station, $4,000.
Laying of 3O-inch water main
on Eleventh st. S. w., 100000.
Maintenance, $45,810.
Extension of distributing
system, $4,000.
New meters. $72,540.
Public and fire hydrants,
$1O,675.
Repairs to old mains, $64,25O.
Nearly 500 employees of the
street and water departments are
now on furlough for lack Of
funds, and release of the tax
money will mean their immediate
recall. In addition, an uneSti-
mated number of men will be
employed on contracts to be let.
The money also will mean aban-
donment of plans for the indefi-
mite furlough of 800 more District
workers.

An average increase of 600 per- sons a game over the 1882 opening was shown by United Press com piIations. Average attendance was 10000 fans.
 4 better balance among teams was indicated by the average dif- ference of only 2 As runs between victors and vanquished, whereas last year the opening day average was 5-6 runs.
 Promising
 The attendance average was ex- pected to be boosted considerably to-day as delayed teams swung into action in thre good baseball cities; Boston's Red Sox against the world champion Yankees ta New York: Brooklyn invading the Phulies at Philadelphia, and the New York Giants tackling the Braves at Boston. Excellent wealth CT was predicted for New York and Philadelphia, but there was a pos sibility of snow at Boston.
 President Roosevelt shared the general enthusiasm and optimism after yesterdays inaugural. He Tipped out the first ball at Wash. ington, and the Senators won their IIIBt BdIuC HI bt0- sons, defeating their worst rivals, the Philadelphia Athletics, 4 to 1.
 Swell Start
 It was an excellent game that the president, Vice. Gar ner and other notables among 25,000 fans witnessed--a game filled with snappy fielding and fea- tured by several double plays. Joe Cronin made brilliant debut as the youngest manager in the ma jors. He banged out three singles in four times up. Alvin Crowder and Alphonse Thomas yieled six hits to the As while Tony Freitas and Lowell Claset allowed nine to the Senators.
 With one exception, generally favored teams won. The exception was the Cleveland Indians; who downed Detroits youthful, fast stepping Tigers, to 1, in 13 inn- ings. The game was a pitching duel between Tommy Bridges of Detroit and Clint Brown of the In- dians. Both went the route, each yielding seven hits. The Indians com bined an outfelder error, 8 walk and three singles for three runs in the 18th. Nineteen thous- and saw the game.
 Al Simmons, central figure of the ofY-season's most discussed deal, blasteds out the seasons first home run, giving his new team, the Chicago White Sox, their first tally as they beat the St Louis Browns, 1 to 2. Fewer than 6,000 fans, the smallest crowd of the day, saw the game. Beer was sold in the park.
 First Blank
 In the National league, the Chi cago Cubs opened the defense of their pennant successfully by blanking the St Louis Cardinals, s to 0, before 25,0OO. Lonnie War neke, leading hurler of the Na- tional circuit last year, turned in the seasons first shutout, by al- lowing only four hits. while Dizzy Dean and Tex Carleton were found for il. The Cubs tallied their three runs in the second inning.
 The Pittsburgh Pirates, gener- ally considered logical successors to the Cubs as leaders in the na- tional, started, trounced the Cincin- nati Reds, 4 to l, before 25,00O fans. Paul Waner got a triple and a single, driving in two runs, and Gus Suhr contributed two doubles.

STATE PIN TITLE
 PLAY AT STRATF'D
 WEEK OF APRIL 25
High School Champions May Also Be Crowned --GenlOt to s ecure District Teams

Every branch of sport has to terminate it's season with national and state championships otherwise the season would not be complete. For a brief while it looked as if the duckpin bowlers might pass up the question of state titles for the present season but the revival of the Connecticut Bowling Alley owners association put a different complexion on the matter and as a result the bowlers, both male and female, will gather at the Stratford alleys during the week of April 2Jth in quest of titles.
 The tournament, the fifth annual will be in charge of q competent committee under the leadership of Charles Davis, president of Bridgeport, with Charles l.. Hard- ing of Westport in the role of sec retary and George C. Rogers of New Britain as treasurer. Many we'll known bowling alley owners will act on the committee, each be- ing assigned to certain district. Frank Griesco will look after the neTtutu WCll dletown and Portland. Tommy De- Lucco of Hartford q member of the 1883 national champions will have the Hartford, Manchester and Rockville territory to work on for entries. Harmon Genlot of Water bury has been assigned his own city as well as Naugatuck and Wa terville. Mort Lindsey of Big Pin fame will be chairman for the Stamford district and Bill Sceley of the Stamford Elks will solicit all the Elks' clubs in the entire state for entries. M. j. Miller of Dan bury has been given the Hating Town as well as RidgefeId and New Canaan. Bridgeport will be divided between Charles Davis and Fred Ligglns the latter including Fairfield fin his district. Herman Shincel, q charter member of the association, will take care of Derby and the surrounding towns and New Haven will be looked after by former President Charlie Johnson.
 Entries have started to come In and there Is every indication that the tournament will measure up to the standard Of other years. There will be afternoon sessions for those who prefer 10 roll other than nights and the committee Is at work on the possibilities of includ- ing championships for he high school bowiers.
