FASHION CHANGES
INCREASE SALES
Corsets, Brassieres and Pat
terms Yield Largest Profit,
j. Store Survey Shows.
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.

ANN ARBOR. Mich, June 24.-The
power of novelty to overcome financial
depression is shown In report today
by the University Of Michigan Bureau
of Business Research on the year 1880
department store performance.
CorSetS, brassiereS and gloves were
the only departments except patterns
to increase sales, and they showed the
largest net profit ratios OF the year.
Their increases were ascribed to the
changing fashions of 1880. The report
was compiled by Edgar H. Gault, as
sociate professor Of marketing.
Although the volume of sales fell on
in other departments, prot1tS were not
wiped out in all cases. The combined
stores showed q net loss Of one half OF
one per cent, compared with a net
profit of two and two-tenths per cent in
1929. Sales of toys, women'S and
misses coats, luggage, woolens, mems
clothing and umbrellas decreased more
than 20 per cent. The increased pat
tern sales were made at a loss, be-
caue this Is primarily a service depart
rnent.
"The data" says the report, "were
secured from 33 department stores that
are in continual contact with the bu-
reau in cooperative research projects.
They are located in the States north
of the Ohio River between Iowa and
Maine. They operate in cities ranging
in population from 10000 to 10000 and
every one is either the leading store
or among the leading stores of its
city.
HWhen the profitable and improbable
departments are classified according to
types of merchandise which they carry,
1t is found that accessories, small wares
and dry goods are the three types of
merchandise which department store
executives have been most successful In
handling year after year, and that
mems wear and the miscellaneous de-
partmentS are the least profitable divi-
sionS of the business"

ANTI-SEMITICISM CLOSES
UNIVERSITY OF VIENNA
Thrashing of Jewish Students,
Fear of other "Pogroms"
Causes Action.

BY Cable to The Star.
VIENNA, Austria, June 24.-E1even
thousand students of the University Of
Vienna got a vacation today as the
building closed on account of rising
anti-JeWish sentiment. Precautions are
being taken so that no such "pogrom"
occurs like the one yesterday, when Is
Jewish students were thrashed.
This trouble follows the ruling Of the
Austrian Constitutional Court that the
present anti-Semitic regulations Of the
university are illegal.
A piquant touch is added to the In
cident by the fact that the police are
forbidden by university statutes to enter
university property, so that the guar
dians of law and order have to stand
by and weep-or cheer.

TANNED REVOLVER
PREVENTS HOLD-UP.
Gas Station Manager Says
CoIored Bandit Pulled Trig-
ger in Cash Demand.

Leslie McDaries, manager of the
gasoline filling station at Thirty first
street and Rhode Island avenue north
east, escaped robbery and possible
death early today when the revolver OF
a colored bandit damned as the latter
tried to shoot him.
According to McDaries, the colored
man entered his station at 2:15 O'Clock
this morning, brandishing a pistol and
ordered him to hand over his cash.
In his alarm, McDarieS said he made
a nervous gesture which apparently
reSembled a defensive move and the
bandit pressed his trigger. The pistol
hammer fell without effect and the
bandit pulled the trigger again, with
the same futile result. The man then
fed to his automobile, parked nearby.
The attempted robbery of McDarieS
followed two other robberieS late last
night in which the victims lost small
sums of money. Allen Sousa, a taxi
cab driver of 315 Seaton place north
east, told police that a colored man
whom he had taken aboard as fare
at Connecticut avenue and l. street
held him up at the point of q gun at
Fifteenth and L streets, taking 81, all
the driver had, from him.
Hugh English, $40 Rhode Island ave-
nue. northeast, was forced to hand
over $14 to a colored, armed bandit,
who held him up short distance from
his home.
