He paid little at- tention to 1t until two mornings later, when his eyes became in- lfamed. and his nose was stopped !up. Then, when . feeling of tight mess across his chest caused fear ol pneumonia, he called the clinic ol expert advice.
 Relief began quickly when doc. tors gave him Ayers Cherry Pee. Itoral-a concentrated mixture ol wild cherry. terpin- and |other ingredients which relieved Ieven tho most extreme hospital leases.

Sldyers of Renaldino to Appeal
 For Freedom From State Prison

here for . time. following the death of Louis Wrinkle.
 The state claimed and offered ev- idence that both the officer and Ja- cob Wrinkle had been working to- Eether in automobile deals of a questionable nature. States Attorney Alcorn recommended light sentences and Judge Isaac Wolfe commented from the bench that the court was surprised at the lightness of the sentence recommended.
 Both men were paroled on March 19. 1923. Before their sentence they were held in the county jail for five months. Their cases were regarded by the authorities as incidental to the murder of Enio Renaldino. whose body was found in his auto mobile which was against a. stone wall. in Pennington. October :2. 1920.

SoYlETS LOSE S70o X
 DAY BY BAN ON GOLD
45, ,OO0, 900 Lies Idle tn the Vaults Oi Two New York
 Banks.

New York. Feb. c4. -tRe Gold of the value of $5,0O0.00o belonging to the Soviet bank of Moscow, are lying idle in the vaults of two New York banks because Of g government ban against Russian gold.
 The gold. sent here for the pur- pose of expanding trade between the Soviet and the United States, mean while is causing a loss to the Soviet of about $700 a. day in interest.
 The gold arrived in New York last Tuesday and was transferred direct to the vaults of the Chase National bank and the Equitable Trust Con- pany. to which 1t vas consigned. The usual procedure is for the metal to be sent to the United States as- say office in Wall street. l Represe entatives of the assay office said they had beep advised by the state department that the ban on the receipt of Russian gold. adopted seven years ago. still is effective. The ban was laid in 1921 when the Soviet came into power in Russia and repudiate that country's external obligations.
 Under it's present status the gold Is absolutely valueless and will con- tinue so unless a special dispensation is received from Washington.
 No attempt has been made by the Soviet to pass the gold through the assay office to the Federal Reserve bank, where under ordinary condi- tions. it might be earmarked for the Soviet bank or credited to the &C., count of one of the local de- positaries.
 Barring a special ruling by the treasury department. 1t was said in financial circles that the only courses open to the Soviet were to leave the gold lie idle here or transport it back to Russia.

CHAIN CHARGES
SUBJECT Or
DE- bate
BY b. q FORBES

In almost every community. the
chain store ii the subject Of
lively discussion. This column
could be filled daily with letters
either defending Or condemning
usually, this spreading method 81
merchandising.
The Federal Trade Commission
is investigating chain-stofe prac.
tees and chain-store mergers.
Some Independent merchants *
pect results therefron.
The writer fears they are likely
to be disappointed. although the
day may come when consoIida.
tons of nationwide chains may
encounter legal opposition.
Letter Of Comment
This column holds no brief FOL
the chain store or the independ-
ent merchant Or anyone else. lt
Is as ready to present the argu.
ments Of one side as Of the other.
20 far, Individual merchants have
shown greater eagerness than
chain store people to have their
contentious published here.
Harry w. Walker, executives
secretary Of the Independent Re.
tail Grocers Of Baltimore, Inc,
sends the following emphatic let
ter commenting on the recent
column devoted to chain store
developments.
There are only two sentences
IN that article with which we can
agree. The first one Sis the open
ing statement throughout the.
country there IS more interest in.
the spread of chain stores than
In the Presidential election The
other sentence which meets with
our agreement Is the final ono.
this whole economic evolution
should be considered broadly
rather than narrowly.
Unfortunately. you have con-
sidered Il narrowly and from 4
basis that is not substantiated by
facts, for you say, III IL not fair
to assume that local people buy
from chain stores for the reason
that they can thereby save
money! The fact Of the matter
Is that the local people think
they save money. but az not.
Tlle chain store lis admittedly
run on the principle Of loss
leaders That Id, certain wen
known highly advertised goods
are advertised at cost or less. and
these losses are made iii by
charging more for the balance
Of the goods than IS charged III
the independent stores.
Bait System
This bait system is unfair
competition and II supplemented
by the fact that In many Eases the
manufacturers are secretly rebat-
ing the chains either 81 direct
rebates. Or BY sO-called window
display or advertising allowances.
So notorious have the latter
facts become that the Federal
Trade Commission, by major.
ity vote of the United States
Senate. Is now investigating the
matter.
