OVER THIRTY-EIGHT
LINES OF RAIN

Very seldom weather condi-
tons on this Island make front
page news since it holds to its
constant Caribbean warmth
most of the year round, but
the coming of rain after a long
period of dry weather-like a
long absent friends worthy
of comment.
This was true when over 33
lines or 4.80 inches of rain fell
during the last twenty-four
hours, according to informa-
ton received from the Agricul
tural Station here. Residents
welcomed the showers as
many cisterns were dry and
some owners were obliged to
resort to the use of water
drawn from wells for house
hold use.
The rainfall was so heavy
that hardly a roof in the Is
land did not leak. Govern
ment House was among them
with many beds and tables
sopping wet as though they
were out in the open.
Many students of the Gram
mar and High Schools were
forced to remain home this
morning but at about midday
the sun came out from behipd
heavy clouds.

Stock Market Extends
Four-Day Recovery;
Volume Increases
By me kssoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK. May 14.-Fresh
buying power filtered into the
stock market today as a slow
recovery extended into its fourth
day.
The overall upturn was the
largest in 10 days. Trading was
at the fastest rate for Saturday
in the past four weeks.
Copper and rail shares were
easy favorites. with the copper
group in front of the market for
the second day In row.
Gains In the copper and rail-
way sections ranged from frac-
tions TO more than O point.
Changes elsewhere were mostly In
fractions.
Today's rise stirred up fresh
speculation In Wall Street over
the possibility that long herald
; ed sustained rise might be shaping
up. Several months ago brokers
spoke of the likelihood of a spring
rally but this hope faded away as
the market continued on one of
the narrowest courses on record.
Later on optimists began to
speak lopgingly of summer rally.
Long-term forecasters have even
mentioned a fall rally.
Rail Group Supported.
Strength in the rail group today
gave some support to the theory
that the groundwork may be under
construction for a decisive move.
Last year. for instance, railroad
issues stayed consistently in front
Of a rising market that started
upward In midi March and reached
a climax a couple of months later.
This pattern is a familiar one.
Demand for copper stocks
sprouted almost overnight as re-
ports began to circulate that q
stagnant market for refined cop
per had suddenly come to life.
Copper users went on a so-called
buyers strike In March and
stayed on the picket lines until
midweek, In the meantime shares
of the big copper producers
dropped to, or within shaving dis
tance of, their lowest prices for
the year.
In an effort to do a little busi-
ness, sellers Of copper started a
q series of price cuts from the
postwar high of 2312 cents a
pound which eliminated this
week when the red metal sold at
18 cents.
Today gains of a point or more
were posted for Anaconda at 29K,
Cerro de Pasco 1914. Phelps Dodge
4234, and American Smelling
4534. Kennecott was up a smaller
amount at 45A.
Freight LOadings Down.
Demand for railway issues de-
veloped in the face Of gloomy
news from the industry. The
Association of American Rail-
roads, in its plea for q Is per
cent long-term freight rate in
crease, told the Interstate Com
merce Commission that from
present indications 1949 freight
volume will be 1912 per cent under
last year and passenger business
1913 per cent down.
In addition an ICC study dis
closed that last year the Nations
carriers had q net operating def
cit from passenger service Of
1853, 900, 900, highest on record.
Nevertheless. brisk demand ap-
peared for such issues as Santa
Fe, closing at 903s, Illinois Cen
tral, 20; Chesapeake & Ohio, 9A:
Great Northern preferred. 38A;
Southern Pacific. AN, and New
York Central, 11A.

sponded to specific news.

(Fourth of a SeriesD

Foreign Correspondent Of The Star and

LONDON, Aug. 31.-According
to reports published in the Brit
ish press there is growing indig-
nation in the United States be-
cause the British are living in the
lap of luxury at the expense OF
the American taxpayer.
In view of this charge it is
necessary to report that the Brit
ish people are looking healthier
better dressed and better fed than
we ever remember.
We have the definite impression
that they are really getting along
a lot better than they used to,
say in 1888. They weren't getting
along so aWfully well, even then.
For the average man and his
wife England was a gray, cold
place where you worked like dog
all of your life, went to the sea-
shore for your honeymoon, ate
cabbage and brussels sprouts, lost
your teeth when you were 80 and
wished the same thing on your
children.
The average weekly wage OF an
industrial worker in this country
was $11.20. The housing situation
was bad to desperate, the food was
rotten and a trip to the flick"
was a luxury. If it hadn't been for
the corner pub and its good cheap
beer there would have been a
revolution.
Life for Plain People Rugged.
Life in general, for plain peo-
pie, was rugged.
1t was the habit of American
correspondents in those days to
comment on the prevalence of
store choppers, the fact you
couldn't get a decent meal, the
lack of aitches in the local Ian
guage. and the filthy conditions of
the slums of London, Glasgow or
any other city you visited.
We were not surprised when a
British private in hospital down
in Tunisia announced to a tent
full of patients:
"I'll make bloody sure my kids
get a better break than I did"
The stock joke in those days
dealt with Lloyd Georges ora
torical gem during World War I:
."I'll make Scotland a land fit
for heroes to live in"-and the
answer of an unemployed Glasgow
veteran:
You have to be a hero to live
in the blasted place"
Britain still is a land fit for
heroes to live in. You only get
two small lamb chops a week for
your meat ration. There is only
enough butter for two or three
meals and enough margarine to
fry a dozen potatoes. Though
they have lifted the clothing
ration the prices are so high you

Plan 10 Test Drivers
IS Years Old Studied

The Commissioners will refer
to their Traffic Advisory Commit
tee a proposal of Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp for re-exami-
nation of all motorists IS or over
who apply for renewal Of their
operators permits.
Mr.. Keneipp's recommendation
was for an eye test, a written or
oral test on the traffic regulations
and a, road test to determine the
applicants ability to drive in a
congested section of the city in
such a manner as not to leopard
ize the safety or property of
others.
There are thousands of permit
holders in the District who either
never took an examination at all
(if they obtained their permits be-
fore such an examination was re-
quireO or If they took any kind
of an examination, will hardly re-
member of what it consisted" Mr..
keneipp informed the city heads
The traffic director noted he
had long been in favor of re-ex-
! animation of all motorists periodi-
cally in vision and knowledge of
traffic regulations possibly once
every six years. Existing facilities
of the Department of Vehicles and
Traffic. however, do not permit
such an additional burden, he
said.
Mr.. Keneipp noted there now
are about 10000 persons IS or
older who hold District operator S
permits. The 5000 to 1000 ex-
aminations Of the type proposed
which would be required annually
would not necessitate adding to

RED CROSS HAS RECORD NUMBER
SERVING u. S. MlLITARYFORCES

With u. S. military forces at five
times their prewar strength, record
number of American Red Cross work
ers are serving them throughout the
world.
More than 1000 Red Cross repre-
sentatives today are stationed at / 800
military installations and 123 hospi-
tails lAre and overseas. About l 400
staff workers are serving troops in
this country. The others are working at
occupation and defense posts abroad.
Only during the peak years of World
War II were a larger number on duty.
The duties of these Red Cross work
ers are as varied as the locale in which
they work, involving a wide range Of
welfare services that contribute tomili-
tary morale. They may include tiding
over soldiers wife with grocery and
rent money until her family allowance
check comes through, or getting a well
fare report on an Eskimo serviceman's
mother via weather bureau radio.
Sometimes it means getting word of
a family emergency to a sailor with
the fleet in the Mediterranean.
Service of the Red Cross worker in
a military hospital may be helping a
man through the difficult hour when he
learns that he will never be well again
or removing the worry that often
stands in the way of his recovery.
