WASHINGTON, April 28. IP there’s anything lucky about rabbit's feet, horseshoes. charms, old coins and horsehair bracelets, the Yankees ought to .etart winning pretty soon and never lose another ball game. For in the last week I've received a million of 'em. Maybe not hat many either, but enough to start a curio store and a

museum. Seems ’ike every time the mail man call:, he leaves anew reck of mail from fans who figure wh:*t I need and wha* the Yankees need is a few lucky charms.

"Dear Bac< ' tius fellow writes, "I notice that the Yankee's haven’t! tieen going so good since the season opened. What I think is that some one has put the b.ack sign on you, and I've got the thing to fix it. I'm sending you a rabbit foot that I’ve had for ten years. It's the luckiest l. bbit foot in our state, and I know it will bring all of you good luck. Carry' It in th" perket of your uniform and you’re sure to win the pennant. an 4 when you ao why just cut me in on part of that world series money.”

Another fan <this one lives out in Denver. Colon, writes me that the whole trouble were the numbers on our uniforms. "You never won a pennant since you started wearing numbers, and you never will,' this fan writes. "You're ail numbered wrong. I am a student of the stars and I've looked up the dope on birthdays for the Yankee club and I find that Ben Chapman is the only man who is wearing his own lucky number. You should have fa 5 and Lou Gehrig ought to be i Number 17. Lazzeri’s number is 5 too, but maybe you could get around that by numbering him 55." It all goes to show that fans are Just like ballplayers—when things are going right they don’t think much about superstitions, but when things be :n breaking bad they’re '©iT of black cats, cross-eyed men, lr.dders and everything else that they think might put the jmx on them. Personally, Id trade all the rabbit’s feet in tnc world for a few basehits n thf pinches. That’s what the Yankees need more than anything else right now—and unless we start hitting oon we're likely to be so far behind they can t reach us with a fishing pole. But we'll get going soon. And let me tell you this. I don t believe in rabbit's feet or anything, but I'm carrying that rabbit foot In my uniform pocket every day. If doesn't cost anything to try it out. • Coovrlsht 1930. bv Th? Cliristv Walsh Syndicate arm The Tiniest

Bn United Press NEW YORK, April 28.—An increase in construction contracts is responsible for reports of less acute unemployment situations in some cities, the Guaranty Trust Company of New York says in the current issue of the Guaranty Survey, published today. “It is not yet clear, however,” it continues, "that a genuine nationwide improvement has been effected. It is generally expected that the level of construction in 1930 will at least equal that of last year, and there is considerable evidence to substantiate the view that it may show some increase above that level. Aside from the usual seasonable expansion in some branches of industry, little tangible progress in business recovery has thus far been reported. Greater strength of commodity prices and the continued ease of money rates are among the most encouraging developments. “These conditions are not alone sufficient to warrant expectation of an immediate return to high levels of business activity. Easy money is expected to last for some time, but the influence of this factor is mainly negative. The most optimistic forecast consistent with conservatism is that the worst is probably over and that coming months are likely to show gradual and probably irregular improvement."

Colo., April 28.—One of the greatest demonstrations of military flying ever given in the nation away from sites of the annual air corps and naval air service maneuvers was to be staged here today. Forty fast pursuit ships of the famous “arctic patrol.” under command of Major Ralph Royce, and four tri-motored transports will visit Denver as the guests of F. G. Bonfils, owner of the Denver Post. Arrangements for the demonstration were made with the war department and Major Royce by James W.

The “arctic patrol’’ will be welcomed here by eight planes of the One hundred and twentieth observation squadron and escorted to Lowry field, the army base in Denver.

BREAK IN STOCK SHARES CARRIES LIST DOWNWARD Poor Earnings Report Sends Issues Lower in Sales Wave.

Average Stock Prices

Average of thirty Industrials for Saturday was 285.46. off .03. Average of twenty rails was 149 43. off .42. Average of twentv utilities was 107.13. off .03. Average of forty bonds was 94.95 to unchanged. /.’</ United Press NEW YORK. April 28-.—Values ! melted away millions of dollars today in the Stock Exchange in the most severe selling wave this year. Leading industrials, rails, utilities and special issues bore the brunt of the reaction. Thousands of shares of stocks were thrown on the market for what they would bring and trading volume was only slightly under the pace of Friday, the last full session. Today’s reaction was brought on primarily by the poor earnings’ reports coming to light for the first quarter of the year. The rai’road showing was particularly bad, the first forty-six class I roads to report showing a decline of 39.5 per cent in earning for March, as compared with March, 1929. Industrials Weak For a time the oil group was carried sharply higher, the leaders making new high records for the year or longer. Toward the close, however, selling spread to the petroleum shares and they reacted for the most part below the previous closing levels. In the industrial list losses were especially heavy. United States Steel broke to anew low on the reaction around 185, compared with the previous close of 188 and the high for the year of 198-34., made on April 7. American Telephone was another weak spot, declining to around 247. compared with the previous close of 251%. Westinghouse Electric was hammered down to around 186, against the last price Saturday of 193%. Breaks ranging from 3 to more than 8 points were made by Johns Manville, J. I. Case, Allied Chemical, Union Carbide, Columbia Graphophone. Vanadium, General Electric, American Can. Radio Corporation, Eastman Kodak, American and Foreign Power, American Water Works, Consolidated Gas and Public Service. Cal! Money Tight Railroad shares made their worst showing of the year with the highest grade issues dropping 1 to more than 4 points. Southern Railway made anew low for the year at 110’4, off 4, while Atchison and New York Central lost more than 4 points each. Pennsylvania and Mis-souri-Kansas-Texas also were under pressure. Aviation shares moved lower late in the day after early strength. Credit tightened slightly. Call money renewed at 4 per cent and held there all day, against a renewal of 4 and a reduction to 3% per cent in most sessions last week. Some concession was made in the outside market, and call money on the exchange was in lighter demand as a result of the selling by small stockholders.

Bv United Frees NEW YORK, April 28.—Easter business of F. W. Woolworth Company, the nation’s largest five and ten cent store chain, set anew high record, H. T. Parson, president, announced today. Sales during Easter week amounted to $7,450,515, an increase of 2.43 per cent over Easter, 1929, which came in the final week of March. According to Parson, April sales will run in excess of $25,000,000, or more than $3,000,000 over April. 1929. Sales in the first four months of this year will run close to $86,000,000, a gain of 2Vi per cent over the corresponding period of last year. “In every week of 1930 to date,” Parson said, “with the exception of the last week of March, which compared with Easter business last year, business has shown a gain over the same week of last year.”

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon! NEW YORK, April 28.—Widespread betterment in business conditions described in an exhaustive summary by the chairman of President Hoover’s national business survey conference, is indeed encouraging, but to what extent his improvement has been discounted by the marked advance in security prices during this period is the important question. Action of the stock market of late would indicate that all that has been said has been fully taken into accounts. The coming week faces additional earnings statements which likely will be unsatisfactory-, and may lead to further dividend reductions. A drop of almost 40 per cent in railroad earnings as of March along with declines in general retail sales .gives fairly good indications why dividends in many cases are thought to be none too secure. Perhaps improvement in April may prove more decisive in other lines and give promise of better second quarter statements. Viewing things broadly, bright spots are comparatively few, and it is not surprising that the present stock market has been dedscribed as 20 per cent bull and 80 per cent bear. It is unlikely, in our opinion, that this ratio will change materially until there is a more decided pick up in general business, or at least better signs of improvement than we now have.
