Business is “beginning to show tan- | gible signs of progress,” the monthly | survey of the American Federation of | Labor, made public today, states. The survey asserts that “a number of consumer industries have definitely turned upward. Production of automo- bile tires, shoes, wool goods and cotton goods has been moving up since the low point in November or December. A slight downturn with the season does not mar the definite up- ward trend.” Tracing other depressions, the fe eration sald “basic industries usually start upward later.” No general upturn has appeared yet, the survey concluded, “and a mlllmei in Germany might create panic and| send trade downward in spite of these improvements.” More than 14,000 pounds of quinine have been distributed by the govern- ment in ‘malaria areas of Ceylon within a year. | Writes 100 City Heads Asking June. dull | Prism Spectograph Proves Electronic Motion Within Atom California Inventors Will Announee.Discovery to Science Next Week.

By the Bssociated Press. § A marked gain of colored populatiol in Northern States was analyzed today by Dr. Joseph A. Hill, assistant census director, as being, in reality, the gain of cities. ‘The nortlsward colored migration, Dr. Hill emphasized, has been a story writ- ten in the lure of city lights and the call of city ways to a Southern Negro, whose chief occupation has been agri- culture. “The city-ward shift of the colored population has far exceeded the gen- eral city-to-country trend,” Dr. Hill sald. “The colored people going North practically all go to the cities.” He pictured it also as prosperity wave, undulating in the wake of the business boom that followed the Worlg War and continued up to 1929. “Whether or not the business depres- sion and unemployment situation will cheek it,” Dr. Hill added, “only future statistics can show.” A community such as Harlem in New York City, where the colored race has been developing living modes, art and literature, has appealed greatly to the colored rover, the statistician explained. Chicago offered openings as lawyer, musician, physician, skilled tradesman as well as packing house laborer. troit’s ‘auto shops meant - opportunity. The Southern colored man was per- mitted to’ take, in some measure, the place of the fore born immigrant shut out ta laws as a source of labor supply for both industrial plants and domestic kitchens. Thus the colored sections of Norther | former cities flourished, so very felicitiously that -'worrywhuhlnu- in 1920 was was_ that migration’ might eventually exterminate the race. Dr. Hill noted in 1924 treatise that the trend then to the South. its own col ‘population. birth rates were lower and death rates colored increase had r cent in 1900 to 1920 and North- tly the col lccllmlmhnlflf to his new citified Northern environment, for the 1930 figures -showed a 13.6 per cent increasc for the country at large, as against 5 per cent in the South.
