 The steps contemplated by the bill are the natural Sequels to the preliminary investigations made by commission appointed by the Pres ident, composed of Herbert H. Rice, appointed as a representative of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce.; Ernest w. Sawyer. re- presenting the Department of Inter- for; and Major Malcom Elliott, of Corps of Engineers. United States Army. In a comprehensive report, Conference Series No. IA of the De- partment of State, the commission concludes that the project is feas- ible, can be constructed at a reas- enable cost, and is highly desirable. Looking forward to the construc- tion of the highway the commission CTS recommended: That negotiations be conducted with Canada to arran- ge for the location and survey of the most satisfactory route; to pre- pare estimates and to investigate plans for financing the project; that in case of an agreement with the Canadian Government, funds be made available for carrying out the purposes of the agreement; that each government in it's road program con form, as far as practicable. to the general route proposed for the In ternational Highway; and that con- sideration be given to the immediate construction of the Fairbanks-Daw- son section.
 heartily concur with the commis- sioners in their statements of the benefits to be derived from a high way connecting the transportation system of the United States with that of Alaska. The construction of the highway which H. R. 160 contem plates, 1 am convinced, will be of inestimable value to the future of Alaska and of great aid in the ad- mnistration of the affairs of that Territory The commissioners, in my opinion have outlined the nezt steps to be taken.

Yehudi Menuhin, 19, Plans
TWo-Year Rest on West
ern Ranch.

Announcement by Yehudi MENU
hin. 1e-year-old violin virtuoso, that
he plans to retire for two years as
soon as he completes his present
world tour. climaxed a strenuous
decade of concert work. The state
ment was made Sunday at the close
of Paris concert Mr.. Menuhln
already has given 100 concerts in 63
cities. His European schedule cans
for future appearances in Lonoon,
Amsterdam. The Hague. Madrid.
Rome. Lisbon. Milan and Florence.
AS soon as possible, he will go to MS
California ranch for a complete
rest.
In spite of his fathers rigid limi-
tation of Yehudi's public perform
ances during his early childhood, ne
has led a life of intensive study.
AS a two-year old, ne sat on his
mothers lap at San Francisco SYM
phony Orchestra concerts; taken
home, he cried for violin OF his
own.
His precocious talent was guarded
and nurtured by wise and level
headed parents. They entrusted MS
instruction to Louis Persinger, then
concert master of the San Francisco
Symphony; it was with that organl-
Zation that Yehudi made his mem
orable debut when he was 9. The
next year the New York Symphony
Orchestra presented him to an in
credulous audience who heard a
chubby boy in velvet Knockers play
the Beethoven concerto with flaw
less technique and masterfm
artistry.
Europe. clamoring to hear HIM,
had to wait until 1929. Meanwhile,
though he gave only four TO six re-
citals a season, Yehudi and his two
younger sisters, talented pianists,
were receiving a broad general edu-
cation. Eight instructors were en-
gagged for the three children, who
were taught piano, harmony, Eng
fish, French and German. Their
father, a San Francisco school
teacher, taught them history and
arithmetic. In addition there were
hours devoted to exercises and
recreation, concert going and further
acquaintance with the great works
of music through recordings. And
the children slept IL hours each
night.

is the usual mad whirl of insane
gags and antics of the MARKHAM type.
The scenes, according to the stars,
include some real hot-dog fun in
an open air restaurant, two sheets
and a pilloWcase in stateroom on
an ocean liner, hotel room with
out Gideon Bible, and a capriccio
and couple of CadenzaS in an
opera house scene.
The supporting cast includes the
stately and dignified Margaret Du-

of her nine years as Groucho's lead
ing lady, she has been chased 10000
miles, in addition to suffering sew
eral nervous breakdowns.

UTILITIES LEAD
1935CURBRISE
BY EDWARD KRICKER

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 Q.N.S0.
Consistent gains in business regis
tered throughout the year, the re-
moval of legislative restrictions on
business activities, and a strength
ening of the price structure in the
natural resource group, brought
about in 1885 the sharpest ad-
vance in Curb stocks scored in de-
preston years.
Starting in March the market
climbed steadily until December
when the line of advance leveled
off somewhat. ReceSSionS were
minor throughout the entire period
and at the end of the year a 100
per cent increase in values over
the close of 1884 vas not uncom-
mon.
The largest percentage gain of
any group in the market was
made by the utility shares, where,
in many instances, the apprecia-
ton was more than 500 per cent.
The improvement in business
was reflected in the better earn
ings reports which began to ap-
pear fairly early in the year, and
in a wave of dividend assumptions,
extras and increases in the Fall
months. On such tangible evidence
of higher profits the market scored
it's sharpest advance. From the
first week of october through
early December the chart line
showed an almost perpendicular
upward movement.

TRAVEL SHOWS
BIG INCREASE

One indication of the return
of better times in the Capital, as
we'll as the country at large, was
the great increase in travel in
1875.
Travel bureaus in Washington,
who will book you a passage
around the world, hunting trip
to Africa or the wilds of Canada,
or merely summer weekend
few miles from home, estimate
that their business was 35 per
cent higher in 1885 over 1884.
Officials at Union Station es-
timated that rail travel increased
Is per cent during the year, with
an average of $4,000 persons pass
ing through the station each day
in the year, except at the holiday
season when it mounted to as
much as $4,000.
Even the red caps at the sta
ton are agreed that times are
better. Tips, they say, are more
numerous and are larger. Where
before passengers would carry
their own bags to save money.
now they allow the porters to
carry it, and are more generous.
And the taxi business, despite
the ever increasing number of
cabs in the District, showed an
increase of more than 10 per cent,
according to Harry Davis, presi-
dent of the Diamond Cab ASSocia-
ton, the largest cab organization
in the city, operating more than
1,200 taxis.
The Washington times., 1935-12-31

Net railway operating income
and railroad traffic, both freight
and passenger, were greater in
1885 than at any time since
1881, according to ]. j. Pelley,
president of the Association of
American Railroads.
Efficiency of operation has
continued through 1885, Mr.. Pei
ley said, which has brought
about a still greater improve
ment in service to the public.
Freight traffic, he said further,
is being moved at the present
time with greater speed than
ever before.
Salient facts about railroads
for the past year we're pointed
out by Mr.. Pelley as follows:
Loading of revenue freight dur
ing the past calendar year
totaled 31,450,000 cars, an in
crease of 603,0OO cars or 1876
per cent above 1884, and an in
crease of 2,230,00O cars or 1853
per cent above 1888. 1t also was
an increase of 3,270,000 cars or
11.60 per cent above 1882, but
a decrease of 5,701,000 cars or
1885 per cent under 1881.
Freight Increases
Measured in net ton miles, the
volume of freight traffic handled
was 10000, 100000 net ton miles,
an increase of 4.74 per cent
above 1884 and 13.49 per cent
above 1888.
Passenger traffic in 1895
amounted to 18,40O, 100000 pas

sengers multiplied by the dis
tance carried. This was an in

crease of 2.O3 per cent compared
with 1884.
Glass l railroads of the United
States are expected to have a
net railway operating income in
1885 of $500,000,000 or return
of 1.9 per cent on their property
investment, preliminary reports
indicate. The same railroads in
1884 had a net railway operating
income of $462, 900 or a re-
turn of 1.8 per cent on their
property investment.
The Bureau of Railway Eco
nomics estimates that after fixed
charges have been met, the rail
roads in 1885 will have a deficit
of approximately $15,000,000
This is an improvement some
what compared with 1884, when,
OH the basis of all annual re-
ports filed by the railroads,
there was a deficit of $16.887 900.
