CORPORATIONS
 MAKE BIG GAIN
First Quarter Profits of l63 Institutions 3l
 Per Cent

Washington, D. O., May 7.-The first 16S industrial corporations to report for the March quarter of 1886 show an aggregate gain of S1 per cent over the first three months of 1895, according to Q re- cent tabulation. The oil industry more than trebled and the 10 steel compan:-: reporting doubled their first quarter income of last year.
 Building materials, Il reporting, showed 78 per cent increase over the corresponding period in 1885; financing companies, 62 l-2 per cent; fc .ds, @ per cent; electrical equip- ment, 40 per cent; chemicals, 30 per cent. Textile earnings, down 20 per cent due to overproduction, and auto accessories, down 3.8 per cent or less than expected, were the only exceptions.
 Total, net earnings fall l6S cor- porations for the quarter was $l72,- 933, ,s77.
 Commenting on the earnings statements of the first 124 industrial corporations to report, $$l09, ,044, ,449), i, as "better than expected after three years of gains," the magazine Busi- ness Week added:
 "Favorable factors coming to light reinforce the belief that the second quarter business volume will be the best since at least the middle of 1881 and manufacturing activity the best since 1880. Steel operations climber e.bove 70 per cent of capac- ity, coal production continued well above last years level, power pro- duction remained at a high mark and carloadings kept getting heavier. Machine tool builders finished the first quarter at 10o per cent of the 1928 level, the best for any quarter since l029."

JUNIOR LEAGUE
 BARS REPORTERS

Williamsburg, Va, May 7-(UP) The exclusive Junior League of America, asserting "the public has heard too much of our social do. ings," today barred newspapermen from the concluding sessions of its 18th annual convention.
 The delegates refused to permit reporters to accompany them from Richmond to Williamsburg for the final meeting. In executive session, the delegates discussed the Junior League magazine.
 As members have felt the social side of their organization has been publicized too much, and their charities have been overlooked, five members were selected to describe the philanthropies.

ELLIS PARKER IS
 STILL MISSING
Son of Famous Detective Is In Hiding--Father Does
 Not Know Where

New York, May T-(UP)-An as- sistant to district attorney William F. x. Geoghan of Brooklyn reported today from Mt. Holly, N. J. that he had been unable to find any trace of Ellis Parker, Jr., despite aparent- ly authentic information that the fugitive son of the famous rustic detective was in hiding in his home town.
 The search for young Parker, in- dicted in the strange Kidnapping of Paul Wendell, brought assistant dis- trict attrney Francis A. Madden and a squad of police and state troopers to the home of Ellis Parker, srp late last night.
 Father Doesn't Know
 The veteran detective, who Q few hours earlier had himself been di- rectly connected with the Wendell abduction by Geoghan for the first time, gave the police permission to search his home and that of his missing son from cellar to attic. He told them he did not know where his son was and that he had been mak- ing efforts to find him.
 Madden quoted the elder Parker as saying he had $200,00 ready to post as bail for his son should he be found.
 T will fight this case to the last inch," Parker said.
 Both the Parkers have now been named by Geoghan as involved in the Kidnapping during which Wendell charges he was tortured into con- fessing the Lindbergh crime. His spurious statement delayed the ex- ecution of Bruno Richard Haupt. mann three days.

 COnsOlldates Conquest
 Italy consolidated her conquest of Ethiopia today with announcement of the capture of the strategic town of Jijiga and was expected to pro- claim on Saturday her sovereignty over the entire country.
 Italian troops were ordered to partol and protect the French owned railroad from Adds Ababa to the sea, Italy meanwhile having given assurances that French rights to the road would be respected, as well as British rights in the Lake Tana region.
 Reports from Rome indicated that Italy would seek an international loan to facilitate the commercial exploitation of the newly acquired territory.
 Adds Ababa, under Italian mar tial law, was fairly quiet. Ben Ames, United Press correspondent, reported that 750 persons, including some Europeans, were killed during the rioting and footing which pre- ceded the occupation of the capi- tal.
 Legations Carry On 1 Washington, May 2 = (UP) - {. A temporary working arrangement by which foreign legations in Ethiopia would enjoy all customary diplomatic privileges has been sug- gested to the legations by Italian Marshal Pietro Badoglio, Minister Cornelius Van II. Engert today ad- vised the state department.
 A circular sent to all foreign dip- 1omats by the Italian commander advised them that pending a final disposition regarding the cessation of hositilities and the new status of Ethiopia the foreign missions would enjoy the usual prerogatives accorded them for the representa- i tion of their countries and the protection of their nationals, En- gert's message said.
 Wuq Dowegram arrived at the state department shortly after En- gert had advised Washington that Badoglio had informed him of the appointment of a military governor for Adds Ababa.
 Young Woman Missing
 Although unconhrmed press dis patches from Addis Ababa said that Miss Eleanor Meade, missing New York city newspaper woman, was believed safe, the state department received no confirmation from Engert. Officials had asked the minister to report any information regarding the missing girl to them.
 If the minister is maintained in Adds Ababa, observers believed that the question will be raised Immediately as to whether the United States is not carrying on diplomatic relations with con- quered territory under the admin 1stration of Rome.
 State department officials refused to predict whether Engert would be kept at his post after Italian authority in Ethiopia was estab- lished. Observers. recalling the "Stimson doctrine" by which this country declined to recognize any territorial gains made by force in violation of the Kellogg Pact, were inclined to believe that Engert might be withdrawn.

Mrs. James Hamilton Lewis
is one of the busiest persons in
Washington, we are sure. Her
talks are always such interest
ing ones that she is frequently
prevailed upon to address this

forte lies in her fortune telling.
When asked about it, she
smiles and modestly denies any
such thing. However, the
National Woman's Democratic
Club is now making plans for
its garden party and about the
first thing they did was to
approach Mrs. Lewis with the
idea of fortune telling.
