JAPANESE GOODS
FORCE CLOSINGS
SO Domestic Rayon Braid Mills
Declared Quiet Because
of Imports.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE closing
of SO domestic rayon braid mills as
sertedly because of japanese competl-
ton was pointed out by the Textile
Organon, published by the Tublze
Chatillon Corp, rayon manufacturer.
The effect of the importation OF
Japanese pedaline braid, which is
hemp core plated with rayon visca'
was said by the publication to have
cut visca production from an estimated
750,0 pounds in the 1928 season
to the point where no visca was pro-
duced in the l934-35 season.
"A further effect of these braid i'm
ports has been to close about SO
domestic braid mills employing around
$500 people, and to play havoc with
the few remaining braid mills in the
country" the Organon stated.

OIL MEN UNITED
/: : AGAINST CONTROL
Further U. S. Regulation 0p-
posed-Progress Seen on
Market Problems.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TULSA, Okla, May 11.-Develop-
ments of the last week have put the
oil industry in a better humor.
Leaders are even more than pleased
at what they call the united front
the industry is putting up against
further Government control.
The action at Chicago last Friday
when the directors of the American
Petroleum Institute voted unanimously
to petition Congress against extern
sion of Government control of any
kind is pointed to as proof that the
industry has agreed on what it wants.
Independents in Agreement.
Then when the Independent Petro-
Ieum Association, once considered a
stronghold of Government control ad-
vocates, went on record against eX-
tension of N. R. A. as provided in the
Harrison bill, the majority was even
more pleased.
The independents, however, did ap-
prove the Thomas bill for crude pro-
duction control. They see it as an
entering wedge, which ultimately
would result in the industry being de-
clared public utility, such as is con-
tended by opponents the Harrison
bill would do
The Harrison bill itself is regarded
by hands off" advocates as patent
proof that the administration wants
to take over the whole industry and
will do it eventually if the Thomas
bill is passed.
Gasoline Prices Gain.
Meantime the industry went forward
some in the marketing end Gasoline,
up 1s of cent for third grade, was
not as tight as it has been. Con-
: tinued cold weather was blamed
largely for the failure of the market
to advance more rapidly. Regardless
OF the slower buying there was no
gasoline going begging.
Third grade was up to Asa to 434
and regular to 81. to sig. The reg
ular did not advance when the last
3s boost was given third grade.
Kerosene was a bright spot with
the market tight and in a stronger
position than it has been for weeks.
The price went to cents during
the week with a Is advance. This
brought 41-43 gravity, water white. to
a point half cent higher than two
weeks ago.

Considerable comment is being
made concerning the financial emer-
gency of the public schools of the
several states. In order to arrive at
more definite information as to de-
tails OF the existent situations, Miss
Bess Goodykoontz, Acting U. s. Com
missioner Of Education, caused ques-
tionnaire forms to be sent to the sew
eral state departments OF education
early last fall. The replies to all
these questionnaires have not yet
been received, but for the most part
the replies which have come in show
tina. the emergency this year is fully
as great as it was in 1884. In
some places the emergency seems to
be less than 1894, while in others
where it did not exist to any great
extent, it has increased.

HOME GROUND IMPROVEMENT
SCHOOLS SCHEDULED FOR
| COUNTIES THIS SPRING

Home owners in Maryland this
spring will be given an opportunity
to learn about longtime program
for general Identification of their
home grounds at series of one and
two-day schools, which will be held
in a number of the counties, under
the auspices of the University of
Maryland Extension Service. The
purpose of the program, which will
be under the direct supervision of the
home demonstration agent, will be
to make the home grounds more at
tractive and add to the pleasure and
enjoyment of rural life.
Material for the ten projects has
been compiled in four-page circulars
with many illustrations. Subject
matter of the circulars include the
following: General Management, -
"Driveways and Walks" Planting
and Care of Lawns" use of Trees, y
Foundation Paintings" Boundary
Treatment, (" Screen Planting" EN-
trance Features, Use of Architec-
tural Features" and Special De-
velopments."
According to those in charge, a
new project will probably be taken
up each year although this decision
will be largely left to the cooperators.
AS each project is finished the CO.
operator will be given credit in the
form of a seal added to certificate.
Write to your county home demon
stration agent or the Extension Ser
vice at College Park for further
details.
