PRICE OF LEAD DROPS
81 PER TON IN WEEK
Buyers Hold Off in Spite of Re-
duction-Demand for Copper
Also Quiet.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February lead de-
clined 81 ton during the week when
demand, which had been moderately
active, tapered off.
When an initial reduction of 50 ap-
parently failed to attract better buying
interest and metal accumulated in
smelters' hands, the second cut fol-
lowed, but consumers appeared to
have adopted a cautious attitude for
the moment. 1t was felt that the
lower levels would reduce the volume
of scrap lead appearing in the market
Other metals were quiet and about
steady. Domestic buying of copper
declined during the last few days of
January, but total sales for that
month reported by the Copper Code
Authority of 27,05O tons compared with
$500 in December and were said to
be the largest for about six months.
The total, however, failed to fill the
monthly sales quota of 10000 tons.
Prices remained unchanged at the
basis of cents for Blue Eagle, while
foreign quotations fluctuated some
what irregularly. Informal discussions
were said to be in progress concerning
the advisability of calling a meeting
of world producers in New York this
month to consider regulation of sales.

Ouercoating Orders Mount
Despite Increase in Prices

November, and reports Of broadened
wool cloth demands from manufac-
turers of women's wear.
The average adult in this country
in 1910, the wool use promotion re-
port said, used yards of wool
cloth, as against s yards in 1920
and 4 yards in 1888. In 1926, the
average male was buying a new suit
every year and half, but in 1888 he
was buying suit only once every two
years and half.
And this lower purchasing rate ac-
counts for what is happening in
overcoatings today. Locally overcoat-
ings are not being marked down in
retail stores, as they were during the
last few seasons right after Christmas.
Furthermore, with few exceptional
cases, retail inventories of overcoats
are low, which explains why the
stores are sending rush orders to
clothing manufacturers and why the
latter, with garments and cloth stocks
well reduced, are placing generous
orders with the road statesmen offering
1885 overcoatings.

ENGINEER AR0USES
AUTO WORLD WITH
RADICAL CHANGES
Interior of Stout Model Like
Drawing Room-Fenders
Are Absent.
BY the Associated Press.
BY EDWARD w. MORRISON.

OPCSAal DAopatSAA w 0taAs
DETROIT, February 2.-The an
nouncement of William Stout that he
is ready for production of his newly
designed car has aroused the interest
of sales and engineering departments
of automotive factories here.
The engineers have been accustomed
to listening to Stout, former Ford
engineer, tell them what an automobile
should be. The sales executives, at
the same time, have been waiting to
learn what Stout would introduce Ia
his new product that would adapt
itself quickly to the public wants.
In many discussions before engi-
neering societies Stout has complained
of wasted space in current automobile
models. He has advocated greater
streamlining and the adaptation of
some of the principles of airplane
designing. He also has urged the use
of light, tensile materials.
Tear-Drop Design Used.
The new automobile discloses the
easy curves that are associated with
tear-drop design. 1t has a bug-like
appearance. Perhaps the car might
be better described as looking some
thing like a bird without wings.
Stout has-%put the drivers seat
well forward. He has kept his prom
Use also to place the heavier load of
the car in the rear to insure the ut
most in riding quality.
The body, in a new fashion, appears
to inclose everything about the car.
The curves make the sides and the
top an inSeparable unit. The ab-
sence of running boards and tenders
has enabled Stout to widen his car.
Having pushed the drivers seat far
to the front, he has found plenty of
room for the passengers.
This new car, viewed from the in
terror, has, in fact, as much the ap-
pearance of Pullman drawing room
or an airplane cabin as anything else.
The chairs are movable. There Is
room for bridge table on one side
The other side is neatly occupied by
a studio couch. Passengers on a trip
are relieved, accordingly, of the fatigue
and monotony of long travel.
Ideas Likely to Spread.
1t is almost certain that other
manufacturers will copy Stout's in
terror arrangement. Most Of the large
cars can adapt some feature Of Stout's
interior design.
Stout has set out to manufacture the
car at low cost. AS a start, he has
depended almost exclusively on Ford
parts. In other words, he has not at
tempted to create mere plaything in
this departure from established motor
car design. The sponsors long con-
nection with Ford'S, where he formerly
was chief engineer, means that he is
not likely to lose sight of the ultimate
object of mass distribution.
Stout is the recently-elected presi-
dent of the Society of Automotive
Engineers.

The early policies were very simple,
but they prohibited travel on the high
seas, naval or military service, travel
outside the settled" borders of the
United States and Canada or below

They were voided by suicide or death

One of the first policies ever issued

another on Gen. Edward r. S. Candy.
OF the 470 policies issued during the

1874 presented an immediate problem
as the company carried very meager

was quickly established.
The history of the company is one

of a noted educator becoming marked

TelevisiOn Cable
Will Be Made at
Baltimore Plant

BALTIMORE, February 2.-The
Western Electric Co. announced today
the newly-developed wire cable which
engineers say will surmount the last
obstacle to the practical utility of
television will be manufactured at its
Point Breeze plant here.
The new cable, perfected through
experiments in the Bell Telephone
laboratories, is designed to carry wide
bands of electrical frequences-an es-
sential to production Of clear tele-
vision image A half inch in diameter
and flexible as the ordinary telephone
wire, it is composed of two strands
having the same axis, one small
strand inside larger hollow one.
Other possibilities of the Coaxial
cable, engineers say, are the transmis-
sion of music with greater fidelity of
tone and the multiplication of tele-
phone calls that can be carried on a
single wire.

D. c. GAINS SHOWN
BY LOAN GROUPS
Assets and Lending Work
of Building Associations
Rise in January.

Preliminary reports of the building
and loan associations of the District
for January show marked increase,
both in assets and in lending activ-
tiles, according to William S. Quinter,
secretary of the District of Columbia
Building and Loan League.
From those reporting to date, it is
evident that there has been pro-
nounced pickup in the last month,
Mr.. Quinter stated. Some of this he
attributed to the publicity campaign
of the Federal Housing Administra-
tion, which Is educating the people
to the advantages of home owning
and of keeping their homes in up-to-
date condition, and some to the gen.
eral improvement in business condi-
tions which is being felt throughout
figures released this week.
Greater Interest Evident
"All of our building and loan asso-
Citations report an increasing interest
in the possibilities of improving, re-
pairing and modernizing their homes" ="
said Mr.. Quinter, "and, coming as it
does at what is ordinarily the dull
season for such work, we can expect
much greater volume of business for
the Spring months. This means not
only an improvement of real estate
values for the individual property and
neighborhood, but increased employ
ment in the building trades and in
creased activity in all building supply
and material lines"
The District league this week ex-
tended an invitation to the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Winston Salem
to hold its annual stockholders meet
ing in Washington in conjunction with
the Southeastern Conference of Build
ing and Loan Associations, which is to
meet here February 26 and 81. 1t
was pointed out that practically all
the stockholders of the Winston
Salem Bank will be in attendance at
the conference, as all the States which
the bank serves are included in the
Southeastern group.
More Than 800 to Attend.
Plans for the two-day meeting,
which it is expected will bring more
than 300 building and loan executives
from the 13 Southern and Eastern
States in the group to Washington,
include banquet on the evening of
February 26, with speaker of ma
tional prominence as the principal
