Profits Not Sought
No attempt is being made TO OBJ
tain information concerning the
profits Of the mere hant distribut-
ors. There are no questions which
would show the gross margin be
tween purchases and sales. The
value of the sales will be ascertain
ed, but the cost of the goods pur-
chased is not asked for.
As much as possible of this infor-
nation Will be summarized for each
city and comtT as well as for each
state and the nation rs Z whole.
The inclusion of this subject of
distribution means n very material
addition to the work of taking the
next census. It is estimated that 1t
Will be NECESSARY to canvass nearly
two million establishments.
SO far as possible the census will
distinguish the main classes of
goods dealt in, so rs TO present sep
arate totals for important classes of
commodities, such as, for instance,
boots and shoes, clothing, and gro
oCrics. But this classification can.
not be carried out completely be
cause many merchants do not keep
their books in such 4 way as to be-
able to furnish separate fighres for
various classes of goods. In man
ufactures there has been a tendency
in the direction of greater special.
iZation or concentration upon the
manufacture of some line Of pro
ducts. But in retail trade, with the
development of the department

modern so-called drug store carry.

entered the lounge and met so
newspaper men and photogra-
pliers outside the bay:
It'll now I have been feeling
much better. / do mot know
what makes the American peO-
pie love me 30. / appreciate It."
Mrs. Einstein, q home body
with crinkly gray hair and plain
clothes, begged 10 minutes more
sleep for the professor this morn
ing. Sc said:
'My husband didn't sleep
well last night. Does he have
to 80 through that again?"
Answer All Questions
Surrounded by pushing re-
porters as the big liner steamed
up the bay In early morning light,
DR.. Einstein and his wife patiently
answered all questions that were
asked:
II viii be I'm Pasadena SIX
weeks. My route home ID mot
fixed. / have NO plans for this
or next year.
Eyes, / may do some important
work at Pasadena.
I'm not an experimental

HYDE DENIES
MAIL FRANK
ABUSE
Cards, Official, None Held Up
In Mails, for Collection of
Postage, Secretary Ayers

Secretary Of Agriculture Hyde
today Indignantly denied charges
made by Senator Caraway, Of
Arkansas, that he used the
franking privilege to send out
personal Christmas greeting
cards.
Senator Caraway, who received
one Of the cards, yesterday as
sailed the Cabinet officer for
using Government money to send
out his mail and yet:
Opposed to using Govern
ment money to succOr starving
babies in the drOught-ridden
States"
Jibes Senator Caraway
Secretary Hyde explained that
the cards sent out under the
Government frank were not per-
sonal cards. but carried depart
Snent greetings and were entitled
TO be franked. He added:
Sufficient proof that the
cards were official and not
personal SAN be found In the
fact that Senator Caraway re-
ceived one."
Secretary Hyde also declared
that only about 900 such cards
were sent out, and that the post
age on them would have been
only 81, a sum, he holds, which
would not change the status OF
many starving babies.
Denies Mail Held Up
Secretary Hyde also denied a
statement that the postal au-
thorities had held UP a small
amount Of mail which was not
entitled to franking.
He declared that he had not
been required to pay back a
cent Of postage.
