 In. an address before the villagers at Eawagon, Gandhi congratulated the. eight head men who resigned as protest against Valla-Bhai Patel's imprisonment. He exhorted them to manufacture and to wear homespun cloth and to volunteer as civil re- sistance workers.
 His exhortation for severance of government connections also brought about the resignations of police head men at Vasna and Mahalal. The will lagers vowed in Gandhi's presence not to fill the vacancies.
 At the start of his march today Gandhi addressed the newspaper men who are following his move ments, asking them to be patriotic and support the country's cause.

Business Notes
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
NEW YORK, August e.-Fall prepar-
atoms at both retail and wholesale con-
tinue to reflect two sharply contrasting
schools of thought" on the best method
of passing on the commodity decline.
RetailS were said to be definitely re-
vising prices, but In many cases adj
mitted reluctance to lower long estab-
lished levels with which consumers
have become familiar. In preference,
particularly by many speciality shops,
improved merchandise will be offered.
The Midsummer lull accentuates
general depression in Europe, a survey
of business abroad by Business Week
says. Business Is operating within as
narrow a volume as 1t has experienced
since the first post war recovery. Not
withstanding restricted industrial pro-
duction, primary stocks continue to
grow. This is particularly the case with
coal, ferrous and non-ferrous metals,
and textiles.
Receipt of a contract for seven signal
lights for the city of Newburgh, N. T.,
was announced by the Grouse Kinds Co.
of Syracuse, N. Y. Installation is ex-
pected to be made within 80 days.
Business in electrical equipment
markets of the country Is proceeding
along moderate lines, Electrical World
reports. While buying Is far from lively
in most centers, there are signs in
evidence that indicate q gradual up
ward adjustment.
