IN RETAILING

Retail sales in Washington are
81 per cent better than the aver
age for the United States, accord
ing to an analysis of the major
retail markets by Erwin, Wasey &
Co., New York advertising agency.
The analysis is based on the
census of retail sales in 1880, and
has been published in book form.
The retail sales index gives 100
as the average for the country,
with Washington retail sales
placed at 1877. Per capita retail
sales expenditures in Washington
in 1880 amounted to $682, as COM
pared with $408 for the United
States.
Washington was above average
in the sale of most of the major
commodities. being "a per cent
ahead in grocery store sales, 1874
per cent in drug store sales, 1877
per cent in department store sales,
46 per cen, in variety store sales,
26 per cent in automobile sales,
SO per cent in tire and accessory
sales, and l9 per cent in hardware
sales. 1t was per cent below

The position of the United
States in many phases of the sill
yer industry is outstanding. Sec
ond only to Mexico in mine pro-
duction of silver, first in the pro-
duction of secondary silver, first in
the refinery production of silver,
and first among Occidental ma.
tions in the size of it's monetary
stocks of silver. the United States
is also the worlds leading con-
sumner of silver in the arts and in
duStrieS.
Consumption statistics obtained
from a canvass of the silver using
arts and industries have been
combined with a study of the nom
monetary uses of silver in the
United States in Economic Paper
IA of the United States Bureau of
Mines, Consumption of Silver in
the Arts and Industries of the
United States," by Charles White
Merrill.
Chemical Products
The products of the chemical
industry contain more silver than
those of any other, but most of
them are Semi-finiShed. For in
stance, over three-fourths of the
silver consumed by the chemical
industry is disposed of to the
Photographic industry as silver
nitrate; the electro-plating and
mirror industries also consume
large quantities of silver salts in
manufacturing their finished
products.
Nevertheless, an important
fraction of the Silver-bearing
chemicals is consumed as such in
chemical laboratories, for medi-
cines and other purposes.

United States Tops World
In Use of Siluer in Arts

Sterling SilVerWare requires
more silver for its manufacture
than any other product, but the
silver content of the finished pro-
duct is less than that of the
silver salts in the chemical
industry. Nevertheless, sterling
SilverWare leads in the ultimate
consumption of silver.
The Photographic industry is
second only to the sterling-silver-
ware industry in ultimate con-
sumption of silver. Photography
is a relatively recent invention,
and its widespread adoption is
largely development of the
twentieth century. In fact, the
major expansion of the motion
picture industry, now the most
important division of photography
with respection to silver consump-
ton, has occurred during the last
two decades.
Plating and Dentistry
Silver electroplated ware is also
relatively recent development.
The extent, however, to which it
has displaced sterling ware prob
ably makes it less important in
increasing the consumption Of
silver than some of the other
developments of the last so years.
On the other hand, millions Of
people who would not have
bought sterling ware have been
able through electroplated ware
to enjoy the beauty and utility
of silver in their table service.
The manufacture of dental sup
plies requires one-half million fine
ounces of silver a year, most of
which is used for amalgam fill
ingS.

unable to stage more than brief
run-up in the first hour.
undertone was still confident, how.
ever, and the list worked gradually
higher with only slight receSsions.
Rail Issues Up
Better action of the railroad list
etimuls,ted speculative sentiment
New York Central was a strong
spot under pool manipulation and
rose more than a point on large
volume.
Leaders like Atchison and Union
Pacific rose to nearly 2 points
each. Low.priced rails were aided
by the action of Central and ap-
peared on the tape in fair volume
at advancing prices.
The alcohol stocks lost their
bloom in the early dealings fol-
lowing the adoption of the wet
dry straddle by the Republican
convention. This attracted some
selling, but losses were largely re-
covered later on the announce
ment of an increase in alcohol
prices.
Pool oper$tion was more in evil
dence as quite a few of the low
priced speculative issues, like
Byers Pipe, we're churned over in
large volume.
Dollar Gains Strength
The dollar showed fresh strength,
which was another favorable de-
Velopment.
Large7scale short covering came
into du Pont, which moved up
steadily, but General Motors

early decline, while American

The lowly onion, popular as a

the pyramids were built, may be
common, but it is, nevertheless, a
highly particular vegetable, so far
as growing conditions are con-

of high fertility and well drained.
1t will not grow If weeds be pres

Be Moderate, Doctors
Warn Vacationists
Avoid Unpleasant Aftermath of Ill
ness Or Exhaustion Associa-
ton Medics Urge

st. Paul, June 6-Many a summer
excursion might better be called a
summer exertion" Minnesota ply
sicians declare in a bulletin on
vacations issued by the Minnesota
State Medical Association today.
No matter what the vacation is
to be according to the association
doctors, whether motor trip, a
lake trip or a rest at home, it has
served no good purpose if the va
cationist comes back more exhaust
ed than when he started out.
Every year" says the bulletin,
"the doctor is called upon to undo
the overriding of people who try to
crowd a years swimming, dancing,
golfing and sun bathing into two
or three short weeks.
more serious health attractions
such as drinking impure water or
milk, the ill advised vacationist hav-
ing labored under the impression
that because it was country milk, it
was sure to be good"
A few elementary health rules are
accordingly set down in this bulle-
tin to apply equally to all vaca-
tons and vaccationists who do not
want to end up, so far as their
health Is concerned, in the bed.
The first Is: Select a vacation
that will as nearly as possible be a
change from your year-round occu-
pations. There is rest and relaxa-
ton in change"
Second: "Be Moderate. Too much
sun all at once will mean bhsters,
and blisters can be dangerous as
we'll as uncomfortable. Too much
strenuous exercise can mean ser
ious over-strain for people who are
not accustomed to strenuous exer-
else. It may even mean tragedy for
people with already damaged hearts
or lungs.
Third: BE careful what you eat
and drink. Water from a wayside
lake or pump Is not safe to drink
unless you boil it or add drop Of
iodine to a bucket. This simple
precaution may protect you from
that most uncomfortable-and still
too common-vacation aftermath,
typhoid fever. Be suspicious Of all
camp water supplies unless you
have absolute assurance Of their
purity.
Equal precautions are necessary
for the camp milk supply. IF you
can't get pasteurized milk at your
camp site and there is any uncer-
tainty as to the source of the milk,
boil it. The youngest campers es-
pecially should be protected.
Vaccination against typhoid Is a
wise measure of precaution for the
vacationist who is going far afield.
But even vaccination does not L.
cense you to disregard these i'm
portant matters"
