Survey Shows Profits
In Silver Too Small
Small Turnover Necessitates
Wider Margin

That silverware manufacturers and
retailers, because Of the slow turn
over, must make larger percentage of
profit than at present, was one of the
facts developed in the survey of the
industry which was undertaken by the
George Batten Company, Inc, at the in
stance of the Sterling Silverware Man
facturers' Association.
Not until the industry can he de-
veloped into one of quick turnover
can this percentage be lessened. The
large investment of capital required
to carry stocks makes a larger profit
essential. The survey also showed
that the trade is devoid of profteers,
the average yearly profit Of manufac
tuners being given as per cent and
that of retailers as per cent.
Another fact developed was that
sterling ware is not sufficiently in de-
mand for purchasers own use and en-
Joyment to develop normal expan-
sion in the industry The country is
not absorbing normal amount Of
sterling. The high grade stores,
catering to the relatively small class
of the wellto-do, do not develop a
sufficient volume to offer an ADEQUATE
outlet
Along with better harmony among
manufacturers, dealers and consumers,
the survey stressed the need of adver-
tlslng. Advertising would tend to
create an increased demand and appre-
clatlon for the intrinsic qualities of the
product

Failures Continue
Decline This Week
Fewer Defaults in Apparel and
Dry Goods Industry

A general decrease in the number Of
business failures throughout the coun-
try this week in comparison to last
week is shown in the analysis of fail
ures by the Credit Guide.
There were 305 defaults this week as
against 313 last week, according to the
Credit Guide, and 1854 the week before
For the corresponding week of 1920
there was 1856 failures. An item worthy
of special notice is the fact that four
states; namely, Pennsylvania, New
York, Massachusetts and Illinois. repre-
sented about SO per cent of the total
failures.
The liabilities for the current week
show little change, IS per cent of the
failures representing debts under S1O,-
600, while II y per cent show debts of
between $4,000 and $4,000 each; and
the average is S2l $50 as against an
average of $4,000 per failure last week
and $21 900 the week before.
The wearing apparel and dry goods
Industry continues to suffer less
through bankruptcy losses This week s
reports show 35 per cent of the total
failures in this industry as against
3632 per cent last week and 35 per cent
the week before. The food lines show
Il per cent Of the total failures as
against 241s per cent last week and q
per cent the week previous, while the
furniture and house furnishing lines
report % per cent this week as against
20 per cent last week and 211n per
cent the week before

Raw Silk Still Dull
Paterson Mill Reported Run.
ming at so p. C.. Capacity

The raw silk market here yesterday
was reported dull. with prices slightly
lower in keeping with the reductions
reported in cables from japan.
H. L. Gwalter & Co., in their weekly
review Of the market, say:
THE local raw silk market is quiet
and dull, with prices about the same
as last week. Interest on the part of
manufacturers continues to lag. Mills
in the Paterson district are running,
generally speaking, at approximately
90 per cent of capacity, and any
silk seems TO hinge directly on an
enlarged demand in the market for
manufactured goods.
Gable advices from Europe report
the Milan market exceedingly strong,
rreelers being we'll sold up. Offerings
for earlier than October shipment are
hard to find, many reelers having
booked business as far ahead as De-
cember."

Counterfeiter of Gillette
Blades Sent to Jail
Berlin Court Decides Practice
of Selling Spurious as Cenu-
inc Is Bad Practice

A court in Berlin has decided, it was
announced yesterday, that German
manufacturers who copy Gillette safety
razor blades not only injure foreign
dealers selling the genuine blades bur
also damage Germany's business repu-
tation abroad. Even though the origi-
nal patent had expired. the court held
the name "Gilette" was an individual!
trade mark and could not be used by
other manufacturers.
The defendant purchased from Ger
man cutlery manufacturer unmarked
blades similar to Gillette blades He
Their stamped the blades with the same
markings as used by the Gillette Com
pany and Enclosed them in envelopes
and packages exactly duplicating those
of the American company, even to the
mark MADE in U. s. A." The blades he
sold in Germany and other countries
as genuine Gillette blades About a
year ago $4,000 such blades were iden-
tilted as counterfeits while in the Gus
tom House in New York The Gillette
Company sued the importer and the
United States District Court ordered
them destroyed
After long -drawn-out proceedings
brought by foreign agent of the Gil
lette Company the offender was brought
to trial, and the Berlin court has Just
rendered its decision, imprisoning him
for one year and depriving him of civil
rights for three years. His accomplices
were given lesser sentences

Stock Raisers Urged
To Hold Up Shipments
Purpose Is to Relieve Market
Congestion and Force Retail
Prices Downward
Special Dispatch to The Trfbxnr

CHICAGO. Aug 19.-Everett c.
Brown, president of the National Live
stock Exchange, to-day sent out an ap-
peal to stock growers to restrict ship
mcnts of livestock
The movement, which is approved by
commission men and packers, it is
said, will eventually force retail prices
of meat downward
"The dressed beef trade is in a de-
moralized condition." it was explained
"Although wholesale prices of beef
have dropped until forequarters are
selling in some places at four cents a
pound, retail prices have not come
down With retail prices up the pub
lie is not buying. Meanwhile from
the Western markets the usual rail
shipments of cattle for this time of
year are being shipped and the pack
ers perforce are converting the ship
ments in dressed meats.
THE result has been that Eastern
beef markets especially have become
congested, and disaster is Threatened
IN Chicago and other Western markets
unless loading Of live cattle in the
country is arrested

Four More Associations Join
in Condemnation of Re-
tail Research Body; Mer-
chants Seek Information

Four more assoc iations of women's
garment manufacturers yesterday
Joined with the Cloak, Suit and Skirt
Manufacturers Protective Association
IN condemaing the Retail Research
Association, an organization of egh-
teen large department stores, for an
alleged letter sent out from its New
York office on August 8, in which it
was said that the New York market
for women's apparel was weakening
and that bankrupt stocks might be
thrown on the market in the near
future.
The four associations were the AS
sociated Dress Industries of America,
the United Waist League of America
the Wholesale Dress Manufacturers
Association and the American Cloak
and Suit Manufacturers Association.
Each of them adopted resolutions call
ing upon members to refuse to show
or sell garments to the employees of
the New York office of the Retail AS
ISOLATION, but assuring the individual
members of that organization Of their
continued good will.
The action of the manufacturers' as
ISOLATION came almost simultaneously
with the announcement from the Re-
tail Research Association that A. L.
Filene, of William Filene's Sons Com
pany, Boston, president of the associ-
alton, had repudiated the letter, which
was written by an employee of the
association. In a telegram to DR..
Paul r. Nystrom. managing director
of the association, Mr.. FiIene seid:
Letter referred to was unauthor-
ICED and was not seen or approved
by any officer or committee of the
Retail Research Association" No fur
ther comment was made by officials
OF the association.
One development Of the situation
has been the great number of wires
that have reached various resident
buying Offices and other retail offices
in New York from retailers all over
the country, asking for specific in
formation on the condition Of the
women's wholesale apparel market.
New York retailers also showed a keen
interest in the affair, and some of
them we're making strenuous efforts
to discover if the market is in as
precarious condition as outlined in the
letter sent out from the Retail Re-
search Associations office. Manufac-
turers countered with statements that
the financial position of the whole
salers in general was extremely good
and that no breaks in the market or q
large number of failures among manu-
facturers were likely
Some retailers were inclined to think
that too much emphasis had been laid
on the letter and that the publicity
given it by the manufacturing associ-
ations might prove to be boomerang.

Biscuit Barrage
Laid ON Court bv
Bootleggger's Wife
Woman Hurls Bits of Lunch
at Bench, Clerks and Spec
tators When Husband IL
Fined for Selling Rum

SOMERVlILE, N. j., Aug. ia
handful OF biscuits, hurled with un-
erring Workmanship late this after
noon, upset the eQuanimity of Judge
Frank Cleary's court here when Mrs.
Kate Pontus, of Manville, N. j., pro-
tested against a $1OO fine imposed upon
her husband for illegally selling liquor.
Michael Pontus, accompanied by his
wife, who carried their lunch in q
large paper bag, arrived early in the
court to await the calling of his case.
Throughout the forenoon session Mike
was repeatedly cautioned by his better
half not to be foolish and do the first
thing the court ordered.
Even these judges sometimes don't
always know their own minds, and a
little persuasion, dear" he was told,
will go a long way"
After listening to the evidence in
Pontus's case Judge Cleary ordered
that he pay a fine of $500. Forgetting
the advice of his wife, Pontus, without
protest, moved over to the clerks desk
and prepared to unburden his pocket
book. He reckoned, however, Without
Mrs. Pontus.
She was speaking before he was
aware that she had risen. His best
efforts. combined with those Of the
clerk and two court attendants, failed
IN an attempt to silence her.
sharp call for order from the
bench was met with fusllade of the
contents from Mrs. Pontus's lunch bag.
The court clerk looked up from bis
cult which had landed butter side down
among his papers to see Mrs. Pontus
selecting another similar missile. He
ducked involuntarly, but the second
biscuit was not wasted on him. 1t went
to court attendant who was stand
ing near by and travelled with surpris
ing speed and accuracy.
Before order was restored In the
court the lunch bag was empty and
half dozen persons were removing
misplaced butter from their eyes.
Judge Cleary ordered Mrs. Pontus
imprisoned at once in the county jail
for contempt of court, but later direct
ed her release when Sheriff Conkling
and other officers said that in an at
tempt to remove her to the jail she had
almost torn the clothing from their
backs.

Japan Discovers Way to
Convert Sand Into Iron
New Process for Getting Steel
Expected to Make Nippon
Independent of Irnports

TOXIC, Aug. ia new process by
which sandiron, or magnetic sand, may
be converted into pig iron and thence
into steel has just been made public
by Goro Matsukata and DR.. Asobu
Naito.
The discovery, the scientists aver.
will not only revolutionize the steel in
dustry of Japan, but of the world. The
process is carried out by means of COM
bining the sand iron with coke, using
not gas flames and making ferro coke,
from which iron can easily be taken.
Japan has little or no iron in any
form which may be easily mined, and
this fact has made this country one of
the biggest importers of iron, espe-
cialy from England and the United
States.
However, magnetic sand is abundant
throughout the empire, but was quite
useless up to the time Of the discovery
of the new process.
The discoveries say that the method
Will make Japan one Of the biggest iron
producing countries of the world. in
dependent of England or the United
States in the matter of iron imports.
