Virginia Industrial
Gains Held Highest
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 19.-Alan
S. Donnahoe, research director of
the Richmond Chamber of Com
merce, said today he had COM
pleted a statistical study which
showed Virginia was "the fastest
growing industrial state" in the
country, and that Virginia had two
of the seven cities producing a
bigger value Of goods in 1887 than
in 1929.
He listed these cities as Rich
mond, "the fastest growing indus
trial center" in the country, and
Norfolk. His ratings, he said, were
based on the 1887, or latest, figures
gathered by the Federal census of
manufactures, compared with fig
ures for 1929. regarded as the peak
year before the depression.
On this basis. Richmond was
shown to have made a gain of A per
cent. Norfolk was listed seventh
among the cities showing a gain,
with a six-tenths OF l per cent in
crease.
Mr.. Donnahoe also listed the
South as the fastest growing indus
trial region of the Nation
I'VE have here" he said, strong
evidence that the South is the indus
trial frontier of tomorrow, and that
Richmond and Virginia are in the
vanguard Of the advance"

School Board Likely

Indications appeared yesterday
that the Board of Education will
seek another w. P. A. project to
provide visiting teachers to District
shut-ins during the coming school
year.
Under an $4,000 emergency prof.
ect last year. some 81 teachers and
supervisors arranged an educational
program for shut-ins both in hospital
clinics and in horces An effort was
made to incorporate this service in
the 1910 budget. when it was before
the Senate, but failed 1t is under

dent of the Board of Education and
chairman of the boards Advisory
Committee on handicapped children.
said school officials had not yet writ
ten project for submission. but
conferences were being planned. At
its last meeting before breaking up
for the summer. the board author
lied First Assistant Supt. Robert l..
Haycock and Assistant Supt. A. K.
Savoy to take all necessary steps to
obtain continuance of the project.
At w. P. A. headquarters. however.
small hope was held for approval of
the program when submitted. Mrs.
Mary Steele director of women s
and professional projects. said a
project, if submitted, would receive
careful attention. but she was
doubtful, because of curtailed oper-
ations and personnel whether it
would be approved. Some of the
teachers employed under the former
project. she said. have been absorbed
in the adult recreation project.

Some Modification
In New Car Prices
Is Expected
Makers to Bid for
Sales With RestyIed,
Smart Autos

DETROIT, Aug 10 &C. P. A.
The stage is rapidly being set for
the cavalcade of 1910 cars that will
soon parade before the public eye
Two manufacturers have made the
equivalent of public announcements
Of their new models already. while
others. one by one, are giving peeks
to press and dealers of things to
come
Early price schedules indicate some
modification of 1889 figures. Both
Hudson and Packard. which are in
the forefront on 1910 announce
ments, are emphasizing price reduc-
tions. There is strong likelihood
that downward adjustments will be
common for all the 1910 lines. but
the variations may be wide on indi-
vidual cars and makes.
To offset the reductions on base
prices. it would not be surprising to
see greater number of items classi-
fed as special equipment. Although
generally listed as optional for the
purchaser, these items have a way of
canceling price cuts. To the dealers
they are most welcome as the source
of additional profit
$500 ,eos Sales Goal.
Lower prices for 1910, where put in
effect, will be based on the prospect
that production for the new model
year will keep to the levels of the
last IL months. Right now the
manufacturers are making their
plans on the basis of $500 900 cars
for 1910. Should sales slump sharply,
old price lists might be restored.
The manufacturers will make a
strong bid for sales on the strength
OF restyling and smartness of design.
There will be mechanical improve
ments as well, but car owners may
expect to hear much of added sleek
ness, new interior comforts and ad-
ditional safety factors.
Long. fleet lines will be in order
again, with radiator grilles scarcely
visible above the sweeping tenders
with their inset headlamps. Trim
lines have been achieved. although
bodies will in some instances be
wider than previously. A factor here,
however is the increasing tendency
to abandon running boards. Some
Of the manufacturers will make a
concession to past fashion by listing
running boards as optional equip
ment.
Headlamp Improvement.
improvement is to be expected in
l940 headlamps. Members of the
industry have worked together with
in the last year to improve the
facilities for night driving The first
result of their work in reducing
glare. yet losing nothing in beam
power, will be visible for 1910.
A feature that was popular on a
few 1889 cars will come into wide
use on many of the new cars. These
are the small lamps to indicate
right and left turns. carried close to
or alongside the taillights. Some of

Good -Neighbor' Messenger
Nearly Becomes Cats Meal
Paul Torrens, 8,
Rescues Pigeon
From Sonto DOMINGO

A good neighbor" gesture nearly
went wrong here yesterday when q
carrier pigeon bearing a greeting to
Mayor La Guardia of New York
from Virgilio Alvarez Pima, presi-
dent of the Administrative Council
Of the District of Santo Domingo,
was forced down, and was in a fair
way of becoming a meal for a cat
when Paul Torrens, 8, of Ais Gar
risOn street NV. came to the
rescue.
Paul drove the cat away, took the
pigeon home to recuperate and in
trusted the message to the mails.
The bird, which bore a leg band
indicating it came from a New York
loft, apparently was one of a large
number participating in trip
under way several days from Santo
Domingo to New York. 1t is be-
neved to have been driven down by
the storm.
The message it carried read:
From Ciudad Trujillo, District of
Santo Domingo. Oldest city of the

try. celebrating today the 18th an

The use of chromium on the ex-

IN MEMoRIAM

In memory of Willis ]. Carey. whC
departed this life. April rs. 1888:
A precious husband and father from u:
has gone,
A voice we love is still;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God, in His wisdom. has recalled
The boon His love has given;
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in heaven.
Why should our tears in sorrow HOW:
When God recalls His own,
And bids them leave world OF woe
For an immortal crown.
His tolls are past. his work is done'
And he is fully blest;
He fought the fight. the victory won.
And entered into rest.
How long he struggled against disease
Which baffled skill and care;
And long he fingered. racked with pain
And suffered hard to bear.
And yet through all. at times he smiled
A smile of heavenly birth.
And when the angels called him home
He smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven Ietaineth now our treasure
Earth the lonely casket keeps;
And the sunbeams love to linger
Where our sainted Father sleeps.
