INCREASE IN
TRADE HERE
BEST IN U. 5.
indianapolis Retail Gain for
August 7 Per Cent Over
August, 1926.
GOOD FOR SEPTEMBER
Coo! Weather Recently, Big
Farm Business, Plenty
of Jobs Cited.

Indianapolis retail trade was 2
per cent greater last month than
in August of 1926 and general trade
prospects here for September are
excellent" according to the Dart
nell sales forecast.
Indianapolis and Oklahoma City,
Okla, which also had a z per cent
trade increase, led the country, &C
cording to the report.
Many Of the cities over the coun-
try showed q decrease for August,
but the majority enjoyed an in
crease Of / or 2 per cent.
Local merchants assign various
causes for the better business here,
and many of them declare that
business is more than per cent
increased this year compared to last.
Cool Spell Is Boom
The August cool spell was re-
sponsible for the boom in the bust
ness of dry goods stores, one COM
pany official said. The hot weather
this month probably will result in
a slackening of trade, he predicted,
however.
Another large store official de-
clared that the better trade OF his
store was due to good employment
conditions which must be existing in
Indianapolis, contrary to some re-
ports. to good farm conditions
throughout Indiana and to improved
roads which bring the farmers to
the city to conduct their business.
indianapolis wholesale trade in
creased 2 per cent in August, COM
pared to last year, somewhat above
The average of conditions in other
cities of the country, but not the
largest increase, according to the
Dartnen report.
Upturn to Continue
The upturn in business which
began in August will continue in
Septcnllcr and while most firms will
not be able to set new sales volume
records, they should be able to do
as much business this autumn as
they did last year. The report said.
The general improved conditions
over the country are due to "the adj
naitted fact that the American
farmer is better off this year than
he was last, to plentiful and cheap
money, and to the prospect Of firm
err prices, the forecast said.

Submarine rum-running, however,
is the latest trick of the smugglers.
Generally the method is to construct
a submersible tank with compart-
ments to be filed with liquor, which
is towed by an ordinary craft If
capture seems imminent the sub
marine is sunk and anchored, pend
ing the owners return.
These submersibles are from
twelve to sixty feet long. A large
one cap ured of the North Carolina
coast some time back had an en-

the best behaved, the most exem-
plary prisoners.
This is the conclusion of Miss
Margaret M. Elliott, who has had
twenty-nine years experience in
prison and institutional work and
has been superintendent of the In
diana woman's prison for thirteen
years.
"a life prisoner here once ex-
planned this to me-" commented
Miss Elliott. "She said, when we
are sentenced, every interest, every
hope narrows into the possibility
that an exceptional record on our
part may sometime free us. This
thought becomes our very life, our
only goal
Like Flowers, Growing Things
The flowers and growing things
in the yard and garden of the
prison are intensely interesting to
all the prisoners, Miss Elliott said
"It is their greatest Joy to work
outside in the garden" she says.
The privilege that all the women
prisoners crave is that Of having a
canary bird under their care. '"These
little yellow bits of life mean so
much to them that I am sure the
care of the birds is a good char
acter builder" said the superin-
tendent.
lone of the most exciting times
that we ever had here and which
was almost in the nature of riot,
was when one of the prisoners here
had done harm to one of these
BIRDS" related Miss Elliott.
Yearn for Pretty Things"
The prisoners never lose their
feminine proclivity for pretty things.
1t is indicated in the intense trea-
surfing of any bit of color, in the
attempts to trim their window
lodges, in their love and admiration
for flowers.
"They even take great satisfaction
in seeing me, the attendants or
visitors dressed in anything that in
cludes trimmings" said Miss Elliott.
Prisoners are allowed to have lace
on their pillow slips, made in their
off hours.
II think real moral good has come
from this simple fact" said the SUI
periintendent.
"Once, when the judge under
whom she was sentenced visited the
prisoner, she almost had nervous
prostation for fear he would miss
seeing her handiwork. After he was
gone she came breathlessly to me,
Did the ,jedge see that lace !

When told that his attention had,
been called to 1t, she drew breath
of itense satisfaction.
