However, If you follow this
observers advice, you'll find the
exception that proves the rule,
and you'll make q friend for life.
Once arrived at the clubs
show ring, Twenty-Second and P
Streets Northwest, search out
Mr.. Larmour Oyster, owner of
Clean Drinking Farm, out in
Maryland. You will have to do
the talking, for Mr.. Oyster is the
best listener you ever met.
Mention His Horses
When you have met Mr.. Lar
mour Oyster, you'll note that he
is quiet. Then you just mention
his favorite horse, The Hour, by
RockminSter, out of Media Hora.
Add that you understand The
Hour has won two championships
and Is blues. At this juncture,
just note the light in Mr.. Oys-
ter's eye.
Then go right on, and casually
mention that you know The
Hour to be the pride of Clarke
county, Virginia, for The Hour,
you must understand, was bred
by Mr.. B. B. Jones at famous
Audley Farm, down near Berry
vile.
BY this time, just take look
at Mr.. oyster. If you do not
have the best audience you ever
had, then Primo Camera is
strictly an Irishman.
Talk On "The Hour"
Mr.. Oyster also owns John
Barton and English Skies, both
sired by Sir Barton. However.
you need not mention this pair,
but rather. just keep talking
about The Hour. Casually an
nounce that you understand Mr..
Oyster is going to show The
Hour in the class for road hacks,
thoroughbred type, and that you
feel The Hour will win another
blue.
Once again, take a look at
Mr.. Oyster. You will note that
by now he is all smiles, and what
a golden smile Mr.. Oyster has
when someone praises The Hour!
Right here, Mr.. Oyster will
prove to you that you've made a
friend. He'll invite you to Clean
Drinking Farm. Further, he'll
explain to you that he has at
hand an excellent bottle of Mary
lands very best rye and that
he'll be pleased if you will accept
Of his hospitality. You accept,
and this observers case will be
clinched, you will have made a
fine friend and Mr.. Oyster will
be happy.
Likes Praise for Horse
There are many exhibitors like
Mr.. Oyster, but none appreciates
praise for his horse quite so
much as Mr.. Larmour Oyster
does.
Tonight's show marks the
return to the Riding and Hunt
Club show ring of the popu-
lar Roland Dawson, of Virginia.
Roland will show Mermaid, cham
pion hunter Of the 1928 sea-
son and second at Madison
Square Garden in the stiffest
sort of competition.
Mermaid is owned by John A.
Mcdonald, of gold-mining fame.
The show will be featured by
the appearance Of The Hour and
by a high school exhibition by
Sergt. Alvin C. Moore, y. S. En-
gineer Corps, who represented the
United States in the 1882 Olym-
pic Games equestrian events.

Secretary of War George H.

A False View
It was pointed out at the War

I, efense team. And he meant
hat, it was said today.
Evidence that Mr.. Dern really
'dvocates a strong air force, is
;ontained in a letter to Chair
nan McSwain. He said:
differences have been given
the press during the hearings
Of your committee that the
General Staff is in some way
responsible for o lack Of de-
velOpment in the air and for
certain errors and mistakes
which are attributed in that
development. I wish to COM
pleteIy repudiate this thought.
"The General Staff had prac-
ticalIy no control except in very
minor matters, over the air de-
velopment until very recently.
Since they have taken hold,
have never known of a more
marked demonstration of the
wisdom of their being in con-
troll. A complete rejuvenatiOn
of plans, purpose, development
and training is taking place in
the air under their leadership.
The very fact that it was their
initiative which has suggested
this increase in the air would
seem to speak for itself"
AS further evidence of Mr..
Dern's attitude relative to a strong
air force, he requested Chairman
McSwain to introduce a bill in
the House to provide more effec-
lively for national defense by fur
ther increasing the effectiveness
and efficiency Of the air corps by
asking for 2,00O planes.

A cold doesn't have to run its
course and expose you to serious
complications. A cold can be
routed overnight if you go about
it the right way. First of all, a
cold being an internal infection,
calls for internal treatment. Sec
ondly, a cold calls for a COLD
remedy and not for "cure-all."

is what a cold requires. It is ex-

four things necessary. It opens the
bowels, combats the cold germs

the headache and grippy feeling
and tones and fortifieS the entire
system. Anything less than that

Steps being taken to curb refinery
production, and well maintained con-
troll of crude oil output, suggest IA
vorable operating conditions for the
industry during coming months Of
seasonally expanding consumption.
RADIO-Attention being drawn to
the higher-priced all-wave sets should
result in slightly higher profit mar
gins. The offering of televiSon on q
wide scale does not appear to be q
near-term probability.
RAILROADS - Revenue freight
originations are registering wide gains
over q year ago and the outlook for
a continuance Of the relatively high
level Is favorable. A satisfactory set
tlement Of the wage dispute is ex-
pected.
RAILROAD EQUIPME;IT-P. w. A.
loans for new equipment are gradu-
ally being translated into formal con-
tracts and the outlook for leading pro-
ducers in this field is further bright
ened by the current sharp expansion
in railroad revenues.
RETAIL TRADE-While the early
Easter this year tended to shorten the
period of heavy demand for Spring
seasonal goods, the favorable price
situation should sustain the rising
trend of retail gross revenues.
SHIPPNG-Expanding general In
dustrial activity is increasing demand
for the services Of domestic carriers.
Foreign services are carrying more
freight than q year ssor although

traffic is still at unsatisfactory levels.
Shipbuilding remains largely restrict
ed to naval work.
STEEL - Settlement of automobile
labor difficulties should clear the way
for further gains in steel, toward a
peak Of SIS per cent or better in April.
/ SUGAR Proposed legislation for
controlling supplies has been revised
to increase the quota for the United
States beet sugar producers and. If
passed before the end Of the present
session Of Congress, will provide basis
for moderate strengthening Of sugar
prices.
TEXTTLES-Ample distributor in
ventories and reduced wholesale de-
mand will result in declining trend
of output during near future months.

LEATHER AND SHOES Following
full seasonal rise in output of foot
wear during the first quarter, produc-
ton during the next three months
probably will decline some IS per
cent from the unusually high 1888
levels.
MACHINERY-Continued pressure
for a shorter working week and
higher wage rates should stimulate
demand for new and more efficient
Industrial machinery.
MEDICINES - Although seasonal
factors will moderate the demand for
drug products, sales should continue
well above those of a year ago.
METALS (non-ferrous) - Con-
sumption Of copper is running well
ahead of production, thereby permit
ting substantial reduction in stocks
during the past two months. With
additional increase in demand likely
to develop for lead and zinc, as well
as for copper, prices for all of these
metals should be well sustained dur
ing the early future.
OFFICE EQUIPMENT-Further in
dustrial revival and higher labor costs
throughout industry will continue to
stimulate Office appliance demand.
PAPER-The volume of production
may taper of slightly during the next
month or two as result Of seasonal
influences, but the price structure
should remain firm.

N YEW YORK, March 31.-The
nj first of the month outlook
VI for various important divisions
L Of industry is summarized by
the Standard Statistics Co. of
New York, as follows:
ADVERTISING-Although gains in
advertising expenditures over a year
earlier will narrow during the second
quarter this year, a continued upward
trend is in prospect.
AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY
Both sales and collections are ma
terially higher than a year ago. The
Spring seasonal peak this year
promises the best returns since 1881.
AIRCRAFT-New legislation pro-
viding for return Of mail transporta-
ton to private lines, now being dis
cussed, would permit resumption of
the industry's growth.
AUTOMOBILES - With a COM
promise reached on the threatened
strike, motor vehicle output is expect
ed to record further expansion in
coming weeks, rejecting continued
heavy retail demand.
AUTOMOBILE PARTS-In view Of
the favorable outlook for the parent
trade, a decidedly satisfactory volume
of equipment sales Is In prospect dur
ing the near term, at least.
AUTOMOBILE TIRES Although

continue to expand seasonally during
the next few months. the extrewaly

unsettled price situation, unless soon
improved, will limit the average manu-
facturer's earnings.
BUILDING-Over the near future,
at least, contract awards will continue
to exceed last years totals by sub
stantial margins. Actual construction
operations will exhibit even greater
gains as more favorable weather per-
mits work on projects for which con-
tracts have been let in recent months.
CHEMICAI]Seasonal factors and
depletion Of consumer inventories ac-
quired last Fall indicate continued
expansion Of sales over the next few
months.
COAL-Consumption of anthracite
stocks during January and February
created shortage which is maintain
ing production at an advanced level.
The trend of bituminous output also
continues upward, but the status of
labor contracts and the coal code after
April is a major uncertainty.

to improve as the year progresses.

Capacity Operation for Next
Three Months Predicted
With Labor Peace.
BY EDWARD w. MORRISON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT. March 31-Settlement
of labor difficulties in the automobile
industry has swung Detroit plants
into production schedules that will
mean capacity operation for the next
three months.
Automobile factories worked straight
through the strike negotiations in
Washington without a pause. None
theless, the immediate effect Of the
settlement through the Intervention
of the President was the release Of
huge volume Of orders for parts and
materials.
In almost every case factories have
been holding down the number of men
added to their pay rolls in the last
three weeks, but in two instances
hiring was resumed at the conclusion
of the Washington negotiations. Re-
placement of labor in the factories is
limited, of course, to Detroit residents
The means the management are using
to assure jobs to bona fide Detroiters
is indicated by the fact that mans
voting registration card and birth
certificate are required with an appG-
cation for employment.
Find Ready Market.
The factories continue to find a
ready market for their automobiles at
the hands of dealers. The retail mar
ket appears able to absorb stock rooms.
The general report Of field agents and
distributors is that stocks are low.
The manufacturers are passing the
opinion among themselves that in view
of the consistency of sales in the
midst Of unreasonable cold weather in
the Northern States, the arrival Of
warm days should bring a further ex-
pansion in retail sales. Reports that
filter into Detroit indicate that lack
of credit facilities is responsible for
delay in sales pickup in several dis
tricts, however. Dealers blame the
stringency on a lack of cooperation

U. S. ACCEPTANCES LOSE
LURE FOR FOREIGNERS

BY the Associated Press.
American dollar acceptances have
lost much of their lure for foreign
banks since the depression began.
This is revealed in a Commerce
Department report which shows that

funds invested in American bankers
acceptances stood at the record total
of 1891 100000, or 81 per cent of
the s1,732, ,436, 900 outstanding at that
time, which was also a record figure.
At the end of 1888 bankers bills

amounted to $764, 900, 600, the depart
ment said, while foreign holdings
had shrunk to the almost negligible
estimate Of $49,000,000.
