DemountabIe Homes
For Defense Crews
Will Be Tested
lndionheod, Nd, to Get
First Houses; Contract
To Be Let Soon
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A plan to use prefabricated houses
to meet needs for dwelling units in
industrial centers will be tested at
Indian Head, Md, by the Public
Buildings Administration.
Contracts will be awarded within
q short time, officials said, for $50
demountable homes for defense
workers.
Using a belt-line, mass-produc-
tion system with central plants pre-
pairing the houses for speedy erec-
ton, the proposal was designed to
provide quickly available housing
and prevent development later Of
"ghost towns"
Half a dozen companies, officials
said. will be given the "educational
orders" for the Indian Head homes
expected to cost between 81, 400 and
$1,000 each.
Both metal and frame houses will
be used in the experimental work,
and factories providing the most
satisfactory units will be given work
to expand their production facilities
in anticipation of additional con-
tracts.
A site for the Indianhead de-
velopment has not yet been chosen.
However, it will adjoin the Naval
Powder Factory and will be equipped
with sidewalks and utilities.
officials emphasized that the
houses will be up to standards of
construction set by the Federal
Housing Administration for low-cost
dwellings, and their probable life
would be equal to permanent homes
of similar cost.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-SelectlVe
demand for utilities and rails made
for a fairly steady bond market to-
day, although the main list was
reluctant to move out of the recent
narrow trading range.
One of the few bright spots was
in the curb, where obligations of
Standard Gas & Electric. and its
subsidiary, Standard Power & Light,
were up to nearly 2 points at the
start of the final hour.
In contrast, Radio-Keith Stamped
IS dropped more than 4 on big
board transactions, but trading
was light.
United States Governments were
quiet and easy, showing declines
ranging to 7-32d point in small
transactions.
The foreign list was mixed. Nor
way loans were stronger, the 6s of
'43 gaining more than a point. Ger
man 5l2s of IS were off bit.
In the general corporate division
some industrials shared gains with
the utilities. Fractions higher
were: American Telephone 3l4s of
sc, Bethlehem Steel 3l2s, Common
wealth Edison convertible 3l2s, Con-
solidated edison 3l2s, Goodrich AIS
Great Northern Is of AS, series C.;
Portland General Electric 412s; U.
S. Steel 81, and Utilities Power G.
Light 5s. Texas and New Orleans
IS of '43, jumped points in

A bit on the down side were:

B. & O. Loodings Rise
Moderately in Week

Special Dispatch to = Star.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 30.-Carload-
ings on the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road for the week ended January
27, 1910, were 46,547, of which 30,136
cars were loaded on line and 16,411
received from connections.
This was an increase of 6,943 loads
over the corresponding period last
year, when the total was 39,604,
comprising 25,l35 loaded on line and
14,469 received from connections.
Last weeks total also showed an
increase of 1850 over the previous
week (the week ended January 20)
when the total was As, 5,187, consisting
of 29,353 loaded on line and 1884
received from connections.

Increased Earninqs
For Carriers Seen
In Coming Year
Loodings for First
Quarter Expected to
Rise II Per Cent
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, Jan 30.-Freight cars
loaded in the fourth quarter of 1889
showed an increase of 1853 per cent
over the volume in the correspond
ing period of 1888, according to the
Alexander Hamilton Institute. This
increase was smaller than the 1874
per cent gain anticipated by the
shippers boards. Nevertheless, car
loadings in the final quarter of 1889
made an unusually good showing
The increase over the third quarter
amounted to 6.5 per cent. This was
larger gain than in any year of
the previous decade
The shippers boards forecast for
the first quarter of 1910 indicates
that car loadings in this period will
be IL per cent smaller than IN the
fourth quarter of 1889. The ship
pers' boards thus anticipate rather
pronounced curtailment. A IL per
cent decrease in the first quarter
from the final quarter of the pre-
vious year will be practically as large
as in the worst years of the 1929
1882 depression. 1t will not be as
severe, however, as in 1888, when car
loadings in the first quarter were 20
per cent smaller than the last quar-
ter of 1887
Despite the prospective curtail-
ment from the last quarter of 1899,
cars loaded in the first quarter of
1910 will total 8,5l4000 as against
7,595,000 in the same period last
year, an increase of 12.1 per cent.
Since freight car loadings in the first
three months are usually equal to
less than quarter of the annual
volume, the forecast for the first
quarter of 1910 suggests that the
annual number of cars loaded this
year will exceed the 34,l0300 in
1899 and may possibly equal the
1886 figure Of 36,109 900.
The prospect is, therefore, that
the railroads will show a larger
profit in 1910 than in 1899 Profits
this year, however. will still be rela-
tivelv small as compared with those
of 1929 when 52828 900 freight cars
were loaded.
