RUSSIAN JUDGE DIES
WORKING AS LABORER
Professors in Personnel of the
American Relief.

Moscow. Russia, Sept GA former
judge of high repute, reduced TO extreme
need during the Russian famine and who
contracted typhus from which he died
while working as a common day laborer
in the food warehouses of the American
Relief Administration, was one of the
many pathetic instances recounted by
John ii. Hynes OF New York, supervisor
In the Odessa district of the Ukraine
for the American Relief Administration
Men Of prominence in their respective
professions have been forced to tasks
not in keeping with their former stations
in life" said Mr.. Hynes. "Nicculin, an
opera singer OF prominence, a man with
beautiful baritone voice, was in charge
OF the feeding In the children's institu-
tions for a time. lie was willing to work
day and night to get enough food to
keep him. In Odessa we had four pro-
fessors in dur Russian personnel at one
time bearing the brunt of the child feed
ing direction. They were professors from
the University Of Odessa. The professor
in charge was a noted physiologist and
his three aids were men of high stand
ing in educational circles. These men
had five assistant professors as their as
sistants in the child feeding work"

DEPARTMENT STORE
NET PROFITS SMALL
Harvard Research Shows Nine

Average.
REPORTS ON 80 FIRMS
Aggregate Volume of Sales
Covered Are Nearly Half
a Billion.

Special Dispatch 10 THE New yoRK HrsAtp.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Sept. 23.-The
average net profit realized in the de-
partment store trade in 1921 was small,
according to figures compiled by the
Harvard University OF business re-
search with the cooperation and finan-
cial aid of the National Retail Dry
Goods Association. This pioneer survey
of the cost of doing business in depart
ment stores reveals the fact that re-
adjustment or operating expenses Is
necessary to restore net profit to normal,
and that a rapid rate of stock turnover
is fully as important in department
stores as in other types of business.
The summaries of the bureau, which
are published in bulletin, are based on
reports from 3O1 firms in all parts Of
the country, with an aggregate volume
OF sales OF nearly half billion dollars.
The common figure for net profit among
these firms during 1921, a year Of busi-
ness depression. was nine-tenths of
per cent.
NET profit is defined for the purposes
of this study" says the bulletin. "as
the amount that remains over and above
all expenses. including the salary OF the
proprietor or partners. rent of the store.
whether owned or leased, and interest
on the firms net investment. as well as
interest on borrowed money. 1t is to be
noted. however, that Federal and State
income taxes are not included in ex-
pense before net profit is determined,

RADIO BUSINESS HAS
BIG GRIP ON ARGENTINA
Wireless Telephony Aeriats
Are Constantly in VieW.

BuENos AIRES. Sept. 22--There is ono
class OF trader in Buenos Aires remain
ing unaffected by the general business
depression-the dealer in radio appar-
atus.
Wireless telephony has a wonderful
grip on the imagination OF the Argentine,
and wherever one travels in and around
the city at least two or three aerials are
constantly within view.
While enthusiasm is so great, how
ever the arrangements for the broad
casting of programs are painfully mad
equate and the listener in" has to con-
tent himself with amateur recitals on
wheezy old monographs.
Transmission is, in most cases. faulty
also. and that. combined with well-worn
discs, while sufflcient TO satisfy the anna :
teur that his set Is o. X, makes radio
telephony in Argentina more Of a painful
rite than pleasure.
However, there win come day, no
doubt, when Argentina win organize its
radio concerts better, and when that
day does come. If the present is any
criterion, the sole topic of conversation
in Buenos Aires will be radio telephony.

Dlscontinuance OF the practice OF GER
tain banks in making a charge in re-
mitting to their Reserve Bank in pay
ment OF checks drawn upon them by
their depositors was urged to-day by
committee of the Chamber OF Commerce
OF the United States.
Remittance of checks at par should be
msde universal. according to the COM
mittee. The committee found that 9.726
banks in the Federal Reserve System
and 1872 banks which are non-mem-
bers are making remittances at par.
while only 1882 non-member banks are
not remitting at par. Banks in the lat
ter class charge usually one-eighth to
one-tenth OF | per cent. on remittances.
The national Chambers committe rec
ommends that If par remittance can-
not be made universal in the United
States that par remittance be made COM
pulsory, through legislation by Congress.

they are members of the Federal Re-
serve system. This question was sub
mitted to-day by the committee for
