NEW YORK, May april pro-
duction of rayon yarn in the United
States about equalled consumption so
that surplus stocks of yarn at the
end of the month showed virtually no
change, the Textile Economics Bu-
reau reported.
The index of rayon deliveries de-
clined to 444 per cent of the 1923-25
average, compared with ass in March
and 702 in April, 1887.
Commenting on the immediate
future, the Rayon Organon, pub
lished by the bureau, said:
1T is not likely that the new Gov
eminent spending program will aug
ment consumer purchasing power
quickly or adequately enough to have
much effect on the rayon industry
before fall.
Already at very conservative
rate Of production and shipment,
rayon deliveries during the next
several months are expected to remain
in the present range"
Yarn output in the first three
months, it was announced, totaled
57,500,000 pounds, against 100000
in the final quarter of 1887 and TO-
100000 in the first three months of
1887. 1t was the smallest output for
a similar period since 1884.
THE rayon industry has attuned
itself to the decline in demand more
quickly than any other branch of the
textile industry" the trade publica-
ton said.

EXCHANGE HOLDS
ANNUAL ELECTION
New Governing Committee
and Board Chief Will Be
Selected.
Py the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 9-The New
York Stock Exchange had its voting
machinery in readiness early today
for what members considered the
most important annual election in
the institutions history.
Promptly with the sounding of the
opening gong at 10 o'clock, the polls
were opened and members moved in
a steady stream toward four voting
booths in the northwest corner of the
trading floor.
Up for election was an entirely new
Governing Committee and candidate
for the newly created office of chair
man of the Board of Governors
Slated for that Office was 3l-year-old
William McChesney Martin. jr., known
as one of the more prominent of the
exchanges ''progressives."
Includes p Names.
The Governing Committees slate
contained 81 names. Fifteen are men,
bers of the exchange. Twelve are
non-members, but partners in stock
exchange firms. half being from New
York City, and half from elsewhere
The candidates were unoppoSed and
according to members, it was a ques-
ton of the size of the affirmative
vote to be recorded
BY 1890, $50, or nearly half of the
exchange membership, had cast ballots
The vote was considered exceptionally
heavy ir view of the fact that the slate
was without opposition.
The Governing Committee elected
today will assume direction of the
exchange on May Is. One of its first
steps is expected to be the selection
of a salaried president under the
exchanges reorganization program
adopted last January.
After installation of the president,
the Board of Governors will be en-
larged by the appointment of three
representatives of the public. These
men will have no exchange Affiliations.
In stock market circles it was as
sumed Martin would fill the dual role
as chairman of the Board Of Governors
and temporary president pending the
selection of the salaried executive.
Marks Major Step.
The new Board of Governors, to
consist when finally organized of 80
members including the president, will
take the place of the exchanges pres
ent governing committee of so.
Today's election marks one of the
major final steps in exchange reor-
ganization program, adopted after
much controversy within the ex-
change. Seen as stirring the ex-
changes move toward new deal" in
administrative policy was the charge
of faction in the membership that
the management was dominated by a
so-called "old guard" element The
latter, some members claimed. was I'M
sympathetic to internal reforms to
meet desires of the S. E. c., and ac-
cord with public sentiment
Reorganization involved an almost
complete rewriting of the exchange
constitution. The program was
evolved by a committee headed by
earle c. Conway, we'll known indus
trialist, not member of the ex-
change.

times as large as they were year ago,
the bureau said. and represented about
18 per cent of the total production, as
against per cent of much smaller
production in 1897.

BY the Associated Press.
BASEL, Switzerland, May 9.-The
Bank for international Settlements,
in its annual report today, said the
experiences Of the United States
proved 1.-The mere stimulation of con-
sumption by Government expendi-
lures" does not provide durable basis
for an upswing in business activity.
The present economic situation in
the world. the reports said, may be
said to be less dangerous" than the
world depression Of 1929 to 1882"
Although not entirely satisfactory"
the report said. 1.-The present situa-
ton does not appear to combine those
deterrents to recovery that were char
acteristic in the crisis of 1881. It is
to be hoped therefore that this time
greater and more general recovery
will be made"
Discussing the United States, the
report said:
Recovery in the United States in
the past few years was not, in fact,
marked by large development in new
investments and capital equipment.
There was better use Of productive
activity already existing, but no wide
spread increase in capacity.
This seems to prove the correctness
Of the assumption that only a rise
In the rate of new investments can
provide more durable basis for an
upswing in business activity"
Declaring never before had there
been SO far-reaching attempts to in
fluence economic developments by
government action" throughout the
world. the report said, although such
action creates work in many cases, it
creates, on the other hand, an uncer-
tainty which is impairing to private
business"

down from 1865 pounds to 1913 on these
two marvellous diets in three and one
half months. This, without moments
discomfort after those first two or three
days, and without injury to health in
spit Of the rapid loss.

done one an invaluable service. Imagine

Who believes the stars are

You who are alone tonight:
Is emptiness too wide?
Do the hours stretch out and

In a barren field Of pride?

And we shall come to this!

some towels are better for one
purpose than others. Plain
cotton towels or flour sacks will
do very well for general purpose
towels and will be cheaper than
the poorer grades of linen. She
doesn't take into consideration
the width of the material she is

the clerk to decide how long
