cases. And the airplane stocks are, OF course
relatively strong.
AS have pointed out many times, there are
signs of accumulation, and the markets action
suggests an eventual rise of large proportions.
TT will seem surprising to some to learn that
l. after the tumult and the shouting of last
week the composite averages actually lost only
or 2 points.
More than that if you will examine the dozen
stocks that were most active last week you Will
find that six of them actually gained, while
only S declined. OF course, the special weak
ness in the railway group was chief factor in
the latter case. The gamers among the most
active issues were mostly steels metals and
rubbers.
am inclined to think that good start to-
ward a larger rally than any since the bear
market began was under way last Monday ana
Tuesday. Then the war scare knocked the thing
on the head Not only was the war news the.
most threatening that has come out in many
years but also the London Stock Exchange was
badly disturbed. This strongly affected Senti-
ment here.
Now it seems that the market should soon
recover from this blow. War in the near future
seems as unlikely as ever. Ut is to be noted
that business recession is going on in England
and that this may be as much to blame as the
war news for weakness in the London stock
market0
The outlook for a squirt in residential building
has distinctly improved. It may become the
leading factor this year.

bill for a cent a pound excise tax
on imported manganese ore.
Chief Justice D. Lawrence
GToner in the Appellate Court
opinion today held that the in
dictment on which Colonel Nc
Mullen was tried and convicted
was ambiguous, and that the trial
court had erred when it refused
to require the prosecution to
particularize the indictment so
that Colonel McMullen could at
tack the jurisdiction of the local
court.
QUESTION OF VENUE
One of the elements of the de-
fense was that the payment of the
fee was by check mailed from
New York and payable at a New
York band. Attorneys William E.
Leahy and William j. Hughes, jr.,
Colonel McMullen's counsel,
claimed that this established
venue in New York city since the
fee was not actually paid until the
New York bank had honored the
check.
Shortly after the indictment was
reported defense counsel asked for
a bill of particulars to show
whether the Government claimed
that the actual compensation was
received in Washington or New
York. The request was oVerruled
and the reversal was based on this
action.

"A Terrible Dilemma
7 THINK adopting baby, if you cannot have

and am for it one hundred per cent but the
thing that concerns me-and cannot see any

know you can't be changing childrens lives
every few years. On the other hand, it does
seem to me that it would be possible to arrange
in some way that the mother might have
chance to reclaim her baby after a certain
period If she makes good.
Adoption Homes Fine
EHRANKLY, have no idea how this can be
done, and I am very much in favor Of the
homes for adoption. They are run beautifully,
so far as know. Mrs. Marshall, the wife of the
Vice President, has made this her life work and
found hundreds of happy homes for poor little
children who would have had none without her
help.
OF course if child is an orphan and has
neither its father nor its mother, then the solu'
tion is simple. But to me that phrase, II will
never see my child again and give up all rights
in its life" is terrifying thing, and wish that
the splendid heads of orphanages and founding
asylums could in some way give the poor mothers
if they made good after certain period a
chance to have their children restored to them.

STRIKERS HEED
DALAD|ER ORDER
BY KENNETH T. DOWNS


PARIS, April Is Q.N.S0.-Wide-
spread strikes in Frances metal
lurgical plants, which threatened
to cause disruptive political strife,
neared settlement today when
union leaders accepted Premier
Daladier's demand that work must
be resumed by next Tuesday.
Plants, mostly automobile fac
tories, will be evacuated by $4,000
sit-down strikers, union chieftainS
promised.
Backed by overwhelming parlia-
mentary support, including the
Communists and Socialists, Dala,
der took an unprecedentedly firm
stand with the strikers who almost
tied up Frances vital rearmament
program.
Following a meeting of his inner
cabinet council, where his attitude
was Endorsed, Daladier ordered
immediate evacuation.
Behind this order was a hint
that the government is prepared
to use force to clear out the occu.
pied plants if the strikers refuse
to comply with the government S
orders.

Rejecting the need for more
adequate quarters, q report of
March activities at the District
Receiving Home, 816 Potomac Ave.
S. E., was made today to the
Board of Public Welfare by Super.
intendent Grady H. Leonard.
Present location of the home
virtually is doomed in the District
appropriation bill. The Commits
sionerS, at first, considered NOV.
ing 1t to an upper floor Of the old
Police Court Building, at Sixth
and D Streets Northwest.
Protests against this plan and
an unofficial report of Fire Mat
shall Clavin G. LAUDER, that the
building was fire hazard, if used
for residential purposes, lead the
city heads to reconsider. They
now favor locating the home at
the old tuberculosis Hospital site,
Thirteenth and Upshur Streets
Northwest, and have requested
Budget Bureau sanction Of this
plan.
In his March report, Superin.
tendent Leonard stated the daily
average population was 46 per.
sons, compared with 81 in March
1887. The home began the
month with 40 children and
finished with 81. The average stay
of the children was less than five
days.
The Welfare Board also received
a March report fom DR.. James
Lewald, superintendent Of the
National Training Schools for
Girls. This institution was legis-
lated out of existence in the ap-
preparation bill and the District
is seeking funds in a deficiency
appropriation, to house and care
for its inmates at Blue Plains.
