among citizens when these play

recreation. Negroes in certain

SOUND-KILLING PLASTER
FOR HOUSES is URGED

The practice of dedicating a portion
of the basement to recreational use
has increased the necessity for noise
control in the home.
Livability may be enhanced per-
ceptibly by the use of sound absorb
ing plaster in rooms of this type, as
well as in nurseries, bedrooms, tele-
phone recesses and other sections OF
the house where sound control Is de-
sirable
Air pockets in the plaster prevent
the DETECTION of sound waves. thus
deadening them without excessive vi
bration and controlling the sound
within a room. 1t may be had in
white or colcs, and its finished sur
face is of proper hardness to with
stand normal wear and tear.

BUSINESS RECORDS.
JANUARY PICKUP
Spotty and Limited Gains
Cited by National City
Bank in Resume.
Special Dispatch to The Star,


NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The opening
month Of the new year brought a
spotty improvement In orders in some
OF the industries and commodity
markets. but nothing like a general
forward movement or revival. After
four months or more of sharp curtail-
ment in buying, says the National
City Banks monthly review. many
distributors have had to come back
into the markets to fill in stocks. and
manufacturers have moderately in
creased their purchases Of materials.
However, the improvement is limited,
and the volume is encouraging only
in comparison with what has gone
before.
The situation Is bound to be full Of
Irregularities and contradictions at
this stage. In some lines and some
trade channels inventories have begun
10 run low. while in others stocks are
still excessive. Some industries have
curtailed as much as necessary to
balance the market position for the
present. and few are increasing their
operations slightly. but others prob
ably will have to reduce further unless
their sales pick up more convincingly.
Slight Decline Noted.
In general, the improvement in
buying has not warranted an increase
in industrial output. Preliminary
figures indicate that composite pro-
duction indexes for January will be
a point Of two lower than for Decem-
Der. when the Federal Reserve index
was "a 1923-25-lOO). This COM
pares with 80 in November, lO2 in
october, Ill in September and 1T in
August. The January change. there
fore, is the smallest since September,
and signifies flattening Of the trend
after the unprecedentedly rapid de-
cline.
The lines in which new orders have
been larger include cotton goods and
other textiles and apparel and the
non-ferrous metals. The steel in
dustry has had only slight improve
ment in its sales, but moderate in
AiVo'V AL pu'PuL uNel lIlS ~" Idle dt
the year end was warranted, as steel
production manifestly has been below
consumption for many weeks Mill
operations have expanded to 32.7 per
cent of capacity.
Auto Stocks Heavy.
The automobile situation is not
encouraging. A representative of the
Automobile Manufacturers Association
testified in Washington early in the
month that dealers stocks of new
cars were the largest since 1880, and
used car stocks are extremely heavy
Domestic passenger car sales in De-
cember were about IS per cent less than
year earlier, and it is questionable
whether January has brought much
improvement. Hence no increase in
production is expected until the
spring pickup in sales arrives, and
total assemblies during February will
be smaller than in January, even after
allowance for the shorter month.
Business in many quarters is feeling
the lack of orders from the auto
mobile and parts manufacturers, the
City Bank says.
