Industrial Commodity
Prices Strengthen
SPECIAL Dispatch to The Star.

AUBURNDALE, Mass, June 49,
Industrial commodities continued
their advance during the second
week ending in June, the McGill
Commodity Service announced to-
day. This advance constituted the
eighth consecutive week of higher
prices in this index. The index of
all commodity prices declined quite
sharply during the week because of
lower prices for livestock. OF the
IA individual groups which comprise
this index, 7 advanced, 4 declined
and 3 remain unchanged from the
previous week.
The advance in the industrial
group was featured by higher prices
for fuels, hides, paint materials, fine
textiles and vegetable oils. Slight
declines we're noted in building ma
terials, nonferrous metals and
coarse textiles.
The index for agricultural prod
ucts also advanced, as stronger prices
were noted for wheat, barley, cot
ton, eggs, wool, f1axseed and but
ter. Declines in this group were
confined to corn, rye and potatoes.
A slight decline in the index for
building materials was attributable
solely to a lower average price for
Southern pine lumber.
Fuels advanced, as higher prices
were posted for anthracite coal. The
advance was tempered by weakness
in kerosene prices.

Cintas Seeks Change,
In Car & Foundry
Management
Former Cuban Envoy
Scores Failure to Get
South American Orders
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 13.-An effort
by the colorful Cuban millionaire
and former diplomat, Oscar B. Gin
tas, to force change in manage
ment of the huge American Car &
Foundry Co. was disclosed today.
Mr.. Cintas, who was Ambassador
to Washington in the closing year
Of Gerardo Machado's presidency Of
Cuba, was reported to have sent let
tiers to stockholders of the company,
soliciting their proxies to effect
changes In the management by vote
at the annual meeting, July 13.
The letter stated that Mr.. Cintas
is the largest individual holder of
American Car & Foundry shares
and asserted the company's manage
ment is inadequate and inefficient" :"
Specifically, Mr.. Cintas deplored
the company's alleged failure to OBJ
tain recent business placed by state
railways of Argentina. Uruguay
Brazil and other South American
countries"
The letter said: although very
substantial financial aid was avail
able from the Export-Import Bank
which would have assumed its share
OF the credit risk as well, Car &
Foundry was obliged to turn down
this profitable business because of
lack Of working capital"
Mr.. Cintas, who has lived in New
York much of the time since the
overthrow Of Machado in 1888, is in
Havana at present. He is expected
back in New York next Monday.

Illinois Central Asks
'|.C. {. 10 Reject
6. N. & n. Merger
Says Combination With
N. & O. Completely FoiIs
Public Interest
BY the Associated preSs.

BY the Associated PreSs.
The Illinois Central System urged
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion today to reject a proposal for
consolidating the Gulf, Mobile e.
Northern and the Mobile & Ohio
Railroads.
mo application for a merger OF
railroads has ever been presented
to this commission that failed so
completely to meet the test of the
public interest as does the present
one" the Illinois Central said In a
petition.
THE proposed merger will not
create one additional ton of traf-
f1c. 1t will serve no communities
that are not now adequately served
by railrads. 1t will lnot result in any
shorter routes or in any better serv-
ice. On the other hand, a condition
to the success of the merger is the
diversion Of very substantial VOL
ume Of traffic from the shorter, more
economical and more efficient routes
OF the Illinois Central System to
those that are longer, less econom-
ical and less efficient.
The Illinois Central System - =
can i'll afford the permanent loss in
revenues that here confronts it."
The proposal" the Illinois Central
also argued. "in essence is to merge
these two weak lines into a perma-
nent trunk line. In view of the
existing competitive conditions in
this territory, there is no need for
the creation Of new trunk line Ia
tween the South and the North.
These two lines should remain as
feeders to the trunk lines in this
territory"
The Southern Railway Co., which
owns S7,839,00O principal amount of
general mortgage bonds of the
Mobile g. Ohio, supported the mer-
ger plan.
The Southern Railway objected
particularly to the suggestion by the
Illinois Central that the unified Cult
Mobile g. Ohio (the proposed con-
solidated name be put in the Illinois
Central system.
IF that is done there will be prac-
tically no competition left in the
State Of Mississippi in the territory
now served by Illinois Central and
by Mobile &, Ohio and Gulf. Mobile
& Northern the Southern Railway
said.

NEW YORK, June ia move
by the House Military Affairs Com
mittee to limit the geographical op-
eratiors of the Tennessee Valley
Authority in the purchase Of power
distribution facilities may open the
way for $30O,000,00 in refinancing
by Southern subsidiaries of the
Commonwealth & Southern Corp,
it was said today in utility circles.
Utility men have been fighting
for definition of the T. v. AS future
sphere Of activity on the ground
such action would be a long step
toward dispelling fear of further
Federal power developments and
encourage private companies to go
ahead with expansion plans.
The House committee, power men
pointed out. set boundaries on T. v.
A. acquisitions of properties from
private companies in voting for the
bill to authorize the Fedeml agency
to issue bonds for purchase of prop
critics Of the Tennessee Electric
Power Co., unit of the Common
wealth & Southern system. and Ger
tain other utility facilities.
Wendell l.. Willkie, president of
the parent company, repeatedly has
complained that uncertainty over
T. v. AS future expansion has been
a stumbling block to extensive re-
financing operations within the sys-
tenn to obtain lower carrying charges
on outstanding debt.
Mr.. Willkie declined to comment
on the committees vote while wait
ing final action by the House and
Senate.
Utility observers said the two big
Southern subsidiaries of Common
wealth g. Southern-the Georgia
Power Co. and the Alabama Power
Co.-had outstanding around $780,
100000 in bonds and preferred
stocks paying relatively high yields
of to 7 per cent, which probably
could be reflnanced at lower rates
providing the T. V. A. outlook were
clarified.
A new wave of corporate refinanc-
ing which started recently in Wall
Street was expected to bring re-
sumption of large-scale utility re-
funding operations.

u. :. Income Holds
Above 1893 Level
For Sixth Month
April Figure Is Kept
At Higher Point Despite
Cool Strike
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 13.-The up
turn in the national income pro-
duced in the United States which
occurred in March after four months
Of decline proved to be only tenn
porary, according to the Alexander
Hamilton Institute. In April the
national income dropped back to
the February level. 1t amounted to
$4,552 ,0000 900 in April as against
$4,793 900, 900 in March.
The national income in April,
however, remained above the level
OF year ago for the sixth consecu-
tive month. 1t was 9.6 per cent
larger than in April last year, when
it amounted to $4.152 100000. The
increase over year ago, however
was smaller than in any previous
month OF this year. This is shown
BY the fact that the national in
come in the first four months to-
tailed $18,904, 100000 this year as
against $17.o35. .OO0, 900 last year, an
increase of II per cent.
Preliminary information indicates
that the national income in May
showed some recovery from the April
slump. Prices held relatively firm
IN May, and mine output was ap-
parently larger than in April as the
result of the settlement of the strike
in the bituminous fields. The cur
tailment Of coal output In April was
one of the major factors accounting
for the decline in the national in
come.
1t is questionable, however, wheth-
er any increase In the national in
come which may have occurred in
May will be greatly extended in
June. The prospect is, however,
that the national income in June
will be larger than year ago, as
was apparently the case in May.
There is, consequently, no question
now that the national income In
the first half of 1899 will prove to
be considerably larger than in the
first half of 1898.
1t is possible, however, that this
gain In the first half will be offset
by decrease during the last half
OF this year. At the present time
there is little indication that the
national income during the last
six months will expand to the same
extent as 1t did during the same
period last year. The present pros
pect is. therefore. that the national
income in the last half of 1889 will
be smaller than during the same
period of 1898.

Hands that play bridge, pour tea and otherwise take part in the win- ter's social scene must be smooth, soft, white and perfectly groomed. Any signs of discoloration or rough spots for which there might have been some excuse last summer will be frowned upon during the months when nobody thinks much about outdoor sports.
 The smart woman uses hand lo- ton several times a day, Of course. Tn addition, she applies rich hand cream at least one night a week, then wears clean, loose cotton gloves while she sleeps. ILf she doesn't have a special hand cream, she uses some of her reg ular night cream.
 Hand lotion or cream always should be massaged in with down. ward strokes from fingertips to wrists. Models and actresses agree that this type of massage will, in time, make theN fingers look long, er more tapering. When the Hollywood stars use hand lotion they make believe that they are putting on quite tight, new gloves Thus knuckles and fingerups are massaged with firm, downward movements.
 USE SIMPLE
 HAND EXERCISES
 Hand exercises, too. are considered important by smartly groomed wo- men. No special routines need be followed. Simply figure out Q few ex. ercises to keep wrists and finger joints from becoming stiff and tense Opening and closing the hand bending fingers backward, shaking imaginary water from fingertips or pulling imaginary candy are good suggestions.
 If your nails have been split ting, perhaps you need more cal- cium in your diet. Drink more milk and more orange juice. AL so, try removing the split sections and smoothing down rough edges with the fine side of an emery board before applying fresh pol is. Buffing. too, is an excellent idea. Many e manicurist insists that removing the split sections instead of trying to preserve them as long as possible often will prevent further splitting.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

I do not recall having seen an article in your column on aspirin. Is 1t advisable to give one aspirin tablet a day to child aged five years for head cold, until the cold is broken? (Mrs. W. c. E)
 Answer-My advice is never give c child aspirin.
 Which Tincture Of Iodine?
 Having always regarded tincture of iodine as intended for external use only. I was astonished to learn you recommend 1t for internal use. Today when I tried to buy some the druggist hesitated to sell 1t when ! told him I was going to take 1t as medicine. He pointed out a poison label on the vial, and he said had better ask my doctor to specify just which strength of tincture am to take. (B. FL
 Answer - Which leaves you out on limb, eh? The Pharmacopoeia recognizes Tincture of Iodine which contains 75 per cent of iodine and is the tincture used by physicians and surgeons: and Mild Tincture of iodine which contains 2.5 per cent of iodine and is the tincture intended for popular use. Either may be used
