There is greater proportion
ate amount Of unemployment
among negroes than among
whites, and there is a tendency
in some localities to substitute
white for negro workers and occa-
sionally to give preference to
white over negro workers in
public works, the Department OF
Labor said today, basing its con-
clusionS on a report of the Ma
tional Urban League.
The report said there was no
discrimination against the negro
in the matter of relief. 1t said
there were indications of a
change in the occupational distrt
button of the two races, the
whites taking over forms Of work
heretofore held as belonging to
the negroes and there is a grow
ing restlesSneSs among negroes
who are moving from place to
place in search Of jobs.
Wherever figures are given in
the leagues report, it is shown
that the percentage of the un-
employment among negroes ex-
ceeds their percentage Of the
total population, and in some
cases the disproportion is very
marked.

From an early low of 8734,
Steel rose to 9034 shortly after

best the market was narrow and
sluggish.
Brokers offices reported a fur.
Eher shifting of professionals from
the bear to the bull side of the

reason for the less aggressive
short selling of the industriaIs

hand there was no apparent in

In fact, the market was the

SURVEY SHOWS
SHOP TRENDS

Factors which should engage
the attention of every prospective
retail store owner, manager, or
builder so that he may most sue
cessfully reach the modern
hand-to-mouth shopper have
been the subject of study by
K. Lonberg- Holm for the current
Architectural Record. He writes:
"The opening of a new store
should be preceded by a study
of all available statistics per-
tanning to the trade area, in
crease in population estimated
payroll, types of industries,
number of existing retail out
lets: density and nature of
traffic, whether pedestrian or
vehicular, male or female, shift
ing of retail trade area, park
ing facilities, relation of rent
to estimated sale, etc." Mr..
Holm finds.
"There is a trend from main
shopping areas to secondary
business districts and neighbOr-
hood stores, not only in larger
cities but in smaller commun-
tiles as well. Traffic cOnges-
tion is becoming so serious in
downtown areas that women
find it more convenient and
comfortable to shop in the
neighbOrhOOd center" he con-
tinueS."
Mr.. Holm observes that women
buy from so to 80 per cent of
all goods sold at retail. The
woman buyer is a shopper. The
automobile, the motion picture,
the telephone, the radio, and the
printed page have changed the
scale of time and distance in re-
failing.
Another trend is toward larger
stores handling a full line of COM
modities.

the current depression period:

Old FavOrites Ditched
1t holds to the belief that the
above stocks offer better pos
Sibilities of appreciation during
the earlier portion of the next
general advance than such former
speculative favorites as Anaconda,
Goodyear. Standard Oil of New
Jersey, Westinghouse Electric and
United States Steel.
While granting that the latter
group of stocks, and many
equities in a similar position
would show large percentage
gains with restoration of business
activity to anything approaching
a prosperity level, this service
believes that it is advisable for
the time to avoid stocks priced
we'll above the average on the
basis of current and early pros
pective earnings.
An analytical study shows that
despite the reduction in divi-
dends on railroad stocks so far
this year, a number of carriers
still show earnings below their
dividend requirements.
They Pay Dividends
Among the q major rails there
are IL that did not cover their
present dividend rate during the
IL months ended with April, even
though eight have already cut
the payments as compared with
1880. Three others, namely St.
Louis-San Francisco, Pere Mar
quette, and Missouri i-Kansas-Texa
have omitted payments on the
common stock.
The eight which have failed
to cover their reduced dividend
payments are Atlantic Coast
Line, Baltimore and Ohio, Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western,
Illinois Central, Rock Island,
New York Central, Louisville and
Nashville, and the Lehigh Valley.

Winter Wheat Crop
Increase Forecast

The United States will have a
winter wheat crop of approx
mately 649,115,000 bushels, the
Department of Agriculture an
nounced yesterday, basing it's esti-
mate on a condition of 84.3 per
cent of normal June /. Last years
production amounted to 604,337,-
900 bushels, while the five-year
average was 547,427, 900 bushels.
Winter wheat prospects are
slightly below those of a month
ago, but still well above the aver
age. Some declines in the Great
Plains and Far Northwestern
States have been largely offset
by better prospects in the soft
winter wheat States from Illinois
East.

State, Fair Be
Held Next Week

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 3.-Next
week is Fair week in the state me-
tropolis and the term implies big
ger and better entertainment this
year than ever before. In addition
to viewing the biggest pumpkins,
classiest rams and best laying hens,
this years state fair crowds will be
treated to at least seven running
horse races on each of the six days
and the $4,000 in purses which has
been hung up by General Manager
William P. Kyne Kyne has attract
ed the biggest band of speedsters
ever assembled in Arizona
Fast times and interesting sport
is assured and the contest for the
purse money is to be the keenest
ever witnessed hereabouts. Arizona
has not enjoyed the sport of kings
under fully organized conditions
since 1924 and interest in the gal
lopers runs high.
Every morning finds scores of
thoroughbrcds increasing their
speed in training preparations over
the main fair grounds course and
the more than two dozen jockeys on
hand are finding plenty to do in
conditioning the horses which soon
VII be entertaining what is pre-
dicted to be. the greatest throngs
ever attracted to the big show. The
Phoenix track is recognized as one
of the fastest in the nation and
advance time trials indicate that
the ordinary members of the local
equine colony will be reeling off a
mile around 1:39.
The horses assembled here are
good enough to win in any COM
pany and after the close of the
Nogales international., 1931-11-04

Fair meeting they will be shipped
to Tanforan and Aqua Caliente to
resume the quest of purse money.
The Inaugural Handicap feature
event on the program Monday will
be decided over a mile and it will
attract probably the best field that
ever faced the barrier in Arizona.
A purse of $500 has been provided
for this number and the contest for
the major position is certain to
provide first day patrons a spirit
ed contest. Among the likely start
ers in the Inaugural Handicap are
Simon Legree, Shasta Apple, Luke,
Jr., General Hebert, c. B. Hadley,
Capt. Fried, Killing Star, and Gray

FOR
YOUR INSPECTION

The merchant and manufacturer who advertise,
actually are placing their merchandise before you
for inspection They invite your most critical atten-
ton and an uncompromisng comparison. And their
advertisements so to speak, say to their products
eve have introduced you to the pubGc-now stand
on your own merits.
If the manufacturer and merchant did not have
confidence in their they would hesitate to call
attention to them For advertising rigdly tests the
maker the seller and the merchandise. BUSINESS
so TESTED, AND FOUND NOT WANTING, IS
PROSPEROUS.
In the long rum you can depend on the man who
advertises as well as his product That is one rea
son why people have found that it pays to read adj
vertisements.
1t is through advertising that the excellent things
of the world brought the attention Of those who
are seeking for the best and most economical way to
