other But there are indications that
so far those whom Governor Hoey has
approached or felt out with regard to
the craftsmanship have not been in
terested. 1t is generally believed that
the craftsmanship of the commission
was offered to Speaker r. Gregg
Cherry, of Gastonia, that he told the
governor he was not interested. Some
think it has already been offered to
Baity and that he, too, has declined
to consider it. 1t is even reported that
some of those who have been ap-
preached with regard to it have ended
lid by urging the reappointment of
Waynick.
The report has been current for
several days that Chairman j. Wal
lace Winborne, who was here several
days ago. told Governor Hoey that he
could not find any one better fitted
for the job than Waynick, that hee
urged his reappointment without fur
Their delay. 1t is known that former
chairman E. B. Jeffress, of Green's
boro, and former Chairman Rufus A.
Doughton, of Sparta, have told the
governor practically the same thing.
So while there is no doubt that
Governor Hoey has been trying to
find some one else with whom to re-
place Waynick as chairman of the
highway commission, many here are
convinced that he has not yet been
able to find the man he wanted-un-
less it is DR.. Baity-that he will wind
up eventually by reappointing Way
nick.

J.. ). NATIONAL
INCOME RISES

The national income produced
in the United States rose in 1886
for the fourth consecutive year.
According to a preliminary esti-
mate by the Alexander Hamilton
Institute, it amounted to 6O,8OO,-
100000, as compared with $50, O00,-
100000 in 1885, an increase of lat
per cent. It was $50 per cent
higher than at the low for the de-
preston in 1892, but 24.9 per cent
below the predepression peak in
1929.
The 1882 figure was $780,
100000. The year 1887 started
with the national income in Janu-
airy at 1877 per cent higher level
than in the corresponding month
of 1886. If this increase should be
maintained throughout the cur
rent year the national income in
1887 would amount to $71,000,-
100000.
The national wealth of the
United States, after declining from
a record high of $3.50 900 ,000, 900
in 1929 to $219, 400, 100000 in 1882,
rose to 1924, 400, 100000 in 1885,
and to 1897 800, 600, 900 in 1886, the
Institute observed. The main
tenance of the gain in January
over a year ago would result in the
national wealth rising to 1884,, AGO.
100000 in 1887.

Oil Firm Forcing
Dry VapOrS Back
Into Wells

Large scale representing of nat
ural gas, a new petroleum conser-
walton development which returns
dry vapors to the well after recov-
cry of their gasoline content, has
been put into operation in the
Tepetate oil field at Basile, La. by
the Continental Oil Company, the
firm reports.
A battery Of compreSsors capable
of handling an estimated 1l,00O.-
900 cubic feet per day started
pumping the gas $500 feet down
ward through inpllt wells into the
producing sands below the field.
Pressure Of about 5000 pounds per
square inch is required to over
come the formation pressure from
below.
The operation, which is the first
venture of its kind on a compar-
able scale in the records Of he
petroleum industry, is expected to
maintain formation pressure in
the Subterranean gas dome for a
greatly increased length of time,
facilitating the flow of oil and in
creasing the probable life Of the
field in addition to actual storage
Of the gas in the underground for
nation for use in future years.
The depressing apparatus at
Tepetate is the final equipment to
be installed in connection with
what is now a complete field con-
servation plant for stabilizing pc.
troleum products at their source
to prevent every avoidable waste
or loss. It is recognized in the in
dustry as a pioneer undertaking
in conservation which may result
in savings Of broad national sig
nificance II generally adopted as
standard practice by other major

BALL T0D0NATE
RAIL EMPIRE
TOCHARITY

MUNCIE, Ind, April 8 U.N.S).
George A. Ball, Muncie millionaire,
and Indiana member Of the Re-
publican National Committee, to-
day announced that he will donate
his entire common stock holdings
in the Mid-America Corporation
to the George A. and Frances Ball
Foundation, recently incorporated
for charitable and educational
purposes.
Announcement was mac g
through his secretary here. Ball
was reported to be out of this city.
Ball owns 80 per cent Of the
stock of the Mid-America Corpor-
alton, which took over the vast
railroad empire and other proper
ties Of the Van Sweringen
bortherS.
1. N. S. Was First
Formal announcement by ball
follows an exclusive story by Inter.
national News Service last week,
in which the financier's charitable
plans were revealed in detail.
Frances Ball is the millionaire's
wife.
DR.. L. A. Pittenger, president Of
Ball State Teachers College Of
Munice, is one of the directors Of
the foundation. Ball is one Of the
owners of a huge fruit jar manu-.
featuring concern at Munice, and
has extensive holdings in public
utilities, newspapers and other
fields.
The Munice manufacturer and
G.. A. Tomlinson, Cleveland ship
ping magnate, obtained control Of
the Van Sweringen properties in
1885 at an auction conducted by
the ]. P. Moran banking interests
in New York. The price was APP
proximately 100000 for proper.
ties now said to be worth more
than $13,000,000.
Rail Sale Likely
The Morgan banking group 90"
tanned control of the properties
through a $4,000, 900 loan default.
Aside from the statement that
the foundation was created for
charitable and educational pur-
poses, no information as to its pur.
poses was made available.
George Ball and his family al.
ready were members of the Ball
Brothers Foundation, which has
distributed many millions of dol.
lars to charitable and educational
institutions.
Although no announcement was
made that Ball would sell his rail-
road holdings, it was believed
likely that he would dispose of
them soon, in order to finance
operations of the foundation.

HOME BUILDING
UP 81 PCT.

Residential building operations
were up more than 81 per cent
for the first half of March COM
pared with the same period last
year, according to the Financial
World.
Total new construction contracts
awarded in the first half of March,
the publication says, showed out
little improvement over the figures
for the same period of 1885, F. w.
Dodge reports broken down to a
daily average basis showing ap-
proximately So million for the
most recent period as against $7.8
million a year ago. But examina-
ton of the several classificationS
comprising the totals shows inter-
esting and significant trends. Pub
lie works and utilities averaged
$1.33 million daily, a material de-
cline from the 1928 million figure
last year, the report says, adding:
"Nonresidential awards were
but little changed. Residential
building operations, h Owever,
were up more than 81 per cent,
the daily average being S3.25 mil
lion for the 1897 period against
S1.94 million a year ago. The
Dodge agency itself reports that
privately financed contracts dur
ing the first half of the month
amounted to two and One-half
times the publicly financed
work, a complete reversal the
past two years."

I.B.M.EARNINGS
SET RECORD

January and February Of this
year were the best two months in
the history Of International Bust
ness Machines Corporation from
an earnings standpoint, according
to Thomas j. Watson, president.
Despite increased wages, mate
rails costs and taxes, and without
price increases, 1886 earnings were
the largest for any year in the
company'S history, he added.
I. B. M. factory workers are now
receiving an average of $1,855 a
year for all qualified male en-
ployes, he continued. The COM
pany is carrying $4,000 of insur-
ance for every employe in the
United States who has been en-
p1oyed three years or more. with
lesser amounts for shorter employ
ment.
Commenting on the shortage of
skilled workers, Mr.. Watson re-
vealed that the company is con-
Quoting an apprentice school
which aims to cut in half the
time required to educate skilled
mechanics. There are 1900 men
enrolled in various courses at the
school conducted at Endicott.

COST. OF LABOR
F0UNDL0W

The cost of labor, according to
the Alexander Hamilton Institute,
was relatively low at the beginning
of 1897, in striking contrast to the
general impression created by an
rlouncements of substantial in
creases in wage rates.
The level of wage rates, how
ever, do not tell the whole story.
The cost of labor depends not only
upon wage rates but upon the pro-
ductivity per man-hour. If this
were not so, the cost of labor in
January would have been excep-
tionally high. Wage rates in jan
uary were not only at the highest
level reached in the recovery move
ment but they were IL per cent
higher than in the pre-depression
year 1929. In fact, they were the
highest on record, exceeding the
amount paid in 1920 when the
economic situation was featured
by the greatest initiation in. his
tory. the report says.
The output per man-hour in
January, however, was lis per cent
higher than in 1885, 1877 per cent
higher than in 1882 and 1853 per
cent higher than in 1929. AS COM
pared with 1920, there was an in
crease of 71.2 per cent. This ex-
plains why the cost of labor in Jan.
uary was 1875 per cent lower than
in 1929 and 400 per cent lower
than in 1920, despite the fact
that wage rates were the highest
on record.

NASH SALES HIT
S-YEAR PEAK

Retail deliveries Of Nash cars
during March were greater than
for any month since 1929, and
two and one-half times as great
as those of March a year ago.
March production of Nash cars
was double that of March, 1886.
Nash 1887 registrations, according
to latest figures in Automotive
Daily News, are twice those of the
same period a year ago. C. H. Bliss,
vice president of sales of the Nash
Motors division of the Nash-Kel-
vinator corporation, said:
mot since 1929 have we had
any month in which as many
NaSh-built cars have been deliv-
cred by our dealers as in this
one. Reports from all parts of
the country show that March
this year showed an increase of
two and One-haIf times the new
car business done by our dealers
in March IF last year."

from the ruling of Common Pleas
Judge Walter Mcmahon that they

Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway
Company, or stop using the east

Judge Mcmahon held that the
New York Central, the Big -Four,

pay $l,600,000 plus interest from
August %, 1882, or surrender the
land within 80 days.
Prior to the Terminal develop

STOCKS RUN UP
BUT SELLING
NIPSGAINS
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, April 8 I.NS0.
The stock market today recovered
part of the preceding sessions
heavy losses, which resulted from
rumors, denied in official quarters,
that the United States was plan
ming a change in its gold-buying
policy.
Trading was at a fairly active
pace. with the ticker falling behind
momentarily ac the start, but inl'
tial gains running in some cases
to more than three points were
cut down by a mild influx Of sell
ing later in the forenoon.
Heavy Losers Recover
Coppers, steels, motors, rubbers
and rails, yesterdays bear targets,
were in the van of the first half
hour GpSwing. Blocks Of stock
running to 5000 shares in New
York Central, which showed an
overnight gain of point, changed
hands at the start.
Movements in steels and motors
were typical of the general market.
U. S. Steel, after running up close
to Q points, lost more than half
of its gain to 112, while Chrysler
converted a gain of III into an
equal loss late in the first hour.
Others in these two groups also
had advances running to more
than 2 points in Bethlehem sharply
reduced.
Southern Pacific Feature
Southern Pacific was a star per
former in the rails, while U. S.
Rubber stood out in the rubbers.
The former was up 35s points at
one time, but settled back 2 points
from its top. u. S. Rubber held
on to a point of a more than g.
point squirt.
Farm implement shares dis
played a firm resistance to liqulda-
ton, Deere and Oliver Farm rul,
ing better than 2 points above pre-.
vious closingS and international
Harvester doing nearly as well.
Most other groups were steady
to moderately higher, including
mail orders, utilities, aviations and
amusements.
Bonds were somewhat irregular,
with United States Governments
resuming their down trend. Com
