The strongest market today,
among the basic consumer durable
goods with large baeklogs, still is
the automobile.
Current production is only about
equal to the requirements for re-
placement and normal growth, no
net reduction has been effected in
the accumulated demand built up
during the war.
Used car prices remain firm and
the demand continues heavy fer all
makes, more especially for late
models. Offerings Of Ass remain
in about the same proportion as
six months ago with prices slightlz,
higher. -
Some authorities see the last
week of June as the turning point
in the price picture with strong
demand and Ele'1 prAees sliding off.

ables and making. demands upon
wholesalers that they do mere re-

Industrial uncertainties are hav-
ing their effect. April recorded
only 304,447 passenger cars from

output. U. S. plants haven't re-

been quick to see the advantage
of the new fluid, at least three
grades of which are now being
marketed commercially for various
uses.
Have Water Base
These fluids are called hydro
lubes" by the naval researchers
who compounded them, because Of
their water base. Their noninflam-
inability, the experts say, simply
stems from .'the common knowl-
edge that water will not burn"
In addition to this basic ingre-
dent, the new hydraulic fluid con-
tains ethylene glycol to keep ii from
freezing; a brand-new "polymer"
or thickening compound-viscosity
stabilizer: lubricating agents, corr
rosion inhibitors and "an organic
chemical to make soluble all the in.

is the same as that used in many
automobile radiators and the new
aircraft hydraulic fluid is proof
against freezing to so degrees be-

large fortune in real estate to the
cities of New Orleans. and Balti-
more for the establishment of free
public schools.
The fund, which has financed be-
tween 80 and SO schools here, has
dwindled now. and when one more
school has been constructed the
money will all be gone.
Construction Of a new Gentilly-
Lake area school with the remain

by the Commission Council in an
ordinance which viii convert Sc
curities to be used for the new
school
At the height of his business
career, McDonogh was the largest
individual land owner in the United
Ststes with vast acres of waste and
suburban land under his name. His
holdings included squares and lots
in New Orleans proper, warehouses.
stores, residences, land in 16 par
ishes of Louisiana, and enormous
tracts in Florida, Mississippi and
Texas.
McDonoglfs will divided his
estate equally between New Or
leans and Baltimore for the estab-
lishment Of schools for children I'M
able to pay their way.
The legacy, however, became the
subject of much contention. Litiga-
ton and the Civil War caused the
amount to diminish. When the SUI
preme Court finally passed upon
the will, New Orleans, as its por-
ton, received most of the extern
sive properties.
The vagueness which surrounds
the history Of the earliest Nc
Donogh schools was increased by
the disappearance Of the minutes
of the old board which administered
the school fund. -
Francis p. Burns, former c:.y at
torney said that the ancient records
disappeared in 1927 during rehabili-
tation and rearrangement of the
city hall. Burns said it was sup
posed that, 100000, from the fund
was contributed in aid of defense of
the city in the war between the
states. 'a
Available records show evidence
that % schools in New Orleans and
two in Jefferson parish were con-
structed from the fund. Although
all Of the schools that remain in
existence are now under the con-
trol Of or operated by the Orleans
or Jefferson parish school boards,
10 of them still bear McDonogh's
name. McDonogh No. /, con-
structed shortly after the will was
probated, is the oldest.
McDonogh was born in Baltimore.

here in 1877. He devoted his en-
