Increased Purchases of Sweets
Regarded as Certain
Sign of Good Times

When people start buying
candy, it's sure sign better
times are at hand.
At least, that's what Mrs. Mar.
jorie Taylor, manager of Huyler's,
believes. She is one of several
Washington confectioners inter-
viewed by The washington Times
in its series Of studies of the
results of the NRA and the BUY
in September" campaign.
Pickup Noted
Mrs. Taylor said:
Business has picked up con.
siderably in candy recently-in
fact, it has been better in candy
than in some other things. We
began to notice the increase
during August, and it has been
getting better and better this
month.
"Considering the bad
weather we have had in the
past few weeks, it is remark
able that sales figures are run
nicg way ahead of last years."
The fact that candy is regarded
by many people as a luxury was
pointed out by Mrs. Taylor, who
believes that recent increases
show return of public conf,
dence.
Gains in candy sales are also
reported by Martin Avignone, of
Avignone Freres. He said:
"There has been a little in.
crease recently. Candy is mOv-
ing well. There is quite q little
more buying noticeable now
than in July and August"

It was just a nice quiet

At least it was nice and

Players and residents fled

Finally they arrested two

The surprise was that according to
the census figures for 1880 there are
more married men in the United States
than there are married women.
Exactly 156,353 men are married to

not confess their marriage to the

Toy-Lending

In spite of its awkward name. the Toy cry" established at New York University's Community Center seems to answer a long felt want. It is free lending agency where children who have very few playthings or none at all may come and borrow toys as books are borrowed from a public library. The toys have been donated by stores and by individuals Those that needed repairs have been fixed up. Scores of children have begun borrowing toys and are learning in the process to be good sports, to take turns with particularly desirable objects, and to behave themselves well
 The idea originated in the mind of a social worker with many years service as probation officer in the Children's Court. She explains: Children were constantly being arraigned for stealing toys. thought that if we could establish place where children could borrow toys, fewer criminal records would be started at an early age. If we can brighten up the ehild's home by lending him toys, it will keep him of the street and pre- vent his joining groups that would teach him to steal. His character will have an op- portunity to develop" There will be one problem to solve. Children have way of becoming devoted to particular toys. Will the little borrowers be willing to return, after brief possession, the treasures they have always longed for'

More Gardening

Many cities report more garden minded. ness" than usual this year. Flower gardens encouraged by garden clubs, grow steadily in popularity, and converts to this charming .pastime when once gained are seldom lost Vegetable gardens are appreciated more as food prices rise.
 One thing the business depression has been good for is it's stimulation of garden ing. For millions this has been recreation in forced leisure or source of needed food. Regaining contact with Mother Earth is al- ways good, and in such times as we have been passing through it has helped both minds and bodies.
 The lesson will hardly be lost. now that the economic strain begins to case. With the shorter ,work, days made necessary by indus trial efficiency. there is going to be more lei- sure for amateur gardening than civilized man has ever had There should be. accord ngly, new demands for garden space, larger and pleasanter yards, more people wanting individual homes complete in themselves with indoor and outdoor facilities. At least, this prospect seems logical. We shall soon see.

War Spirit Can Win

Announcement from Washington of the blanket code for all American industry is in some ways the most encouraging thing that has happened in this country in great many years That is not so much because it off, fers new chance to wipe out the depres- sion as because it will enable us to unite emotionally in a way that is seldom possible except in wartime. The drive to get CO., operation in this code is to be conducted just as the Liberty Loan and draft act drives were conducted during the war And in that fact there is something extremely heart warming.
 A great many people have remarked on the singular fact that nation usually is able to focus its effort and its emotions on one point only in time of great danger. Destructive and frightful as war IS, it usually is the only thing that can make people feel truly united the only thing that can make them forget their differences. bury self-interest and work together in common cause.
 It has often been said that if only peo- pie could get together on peaee-tme pro- feet with the spirit that is displayed in time of war; it could surmount almost any obstacle. That is the chance that is open to us now. We are being asked to sub merge selfish interests for the common good; to be Americans first and self-seeking in- dividuals later; to stand united for the sake of those fellow citizens who have not yet had fair break.
 This brings us great challenge and a great opportunity It is a challenge be- cause it will test our intelligence, our pa- triotism and our endurance just as deeply and just as truly as any wartime emergency ever did. And it is an opportunity because it opens the way to new day in Ameri- can history.
 
 Upon the events of the next six months, probably. will depend the fate of our fight to escape from the depression. We can shape our future to suit ourselves: and if we are as wise and brave as we like to believe, we can pave the way for better, freer life for everyone in America. c..

After Repeal-What?

X senator, known as strong dry friend and former adviser of the prohibition leaders. is quoted as saying that he doesn't believe the drys will carry single state against repeal. They will lose even Kan- sas. hitherto regarded as impregnable. he says He expects a two-thirds verdict of the states before the end of the year, thus agreeing with Jouette Shouse. president of the As socistion Against the 18th Amendment Such decision is obviously coming when ardent drys are admitting it. Wherefore the question now arises, what next!
 It is assuredy time for the American peo- pie to be considering what they're going to do with prohibition repeal when they get it. The decision will probably be placed square ly before Congress when it eonvenes in Janu- ary. We have light beer now. Are we to have stronger beer? Are we to have. in the states that want it. drinks stronger than beer stronger than wine2 Are we to have all kinds of liquor sold freely in licensed private liquor stores or private stores or barrooms for restricted sales or government dispensaries or what?
 Of course in Connecticut that question is easily answered, but not so in every state It isn't every state that has taken the pre- cautions that we have. We have our liquor commission ready to act when and if the 18th amendment is repealed. When duly constituted it was for the double purpose of administering laws that were needed fo the legalization of beer and also to act in the event mentioned above. namely. prohi- bition repeal. We have set up system of permits and methods of sale. It is apparent that Connecticut can within the short space of A hours be prepared to deal with other liquors that automatically would become legal after prohibition repeal
 Unless Congress takes action before the 36th state has ratified the repealer amend mcnt the status that prevailed before prohi- bition will be returned temporarily of course. Such laws as the Webb-Kenyon fcrbidding interstate shipment of liquors from wet into dry will apply, not to mention .,any others that were never re- .----cv.d from the statute books.

The BaIbo Beard

General Balbo. the Italian air fleet com mander. made such a hit with Cheagoans that observers reported an immediate trend toward the wearing of Balbo boards by the young men of the Windy City. The style will spread, too. if it gets good start in Chicago. Every section of the country was interested in the Italian air armada. There were pictures of the handsome young general and his fellow-flyers in every paper. The Italian-Ameriean population was fairly over tome with pride in his achievement. Ameri- nns who can initiate him in no other way will gladly copy his whiskers.
 Barbers should not be distressed at this. Says one of them: Fortunately the Bslbo beard isn't conception of the unkempt growth from the land of the tall and uncut.

Postmaster General Jim" Farley an- nouneed some few days ago that he was going to have his department inspectors war on the proprietors of the so-caled tip sers' sheets" now being sent through the mails to thousands of people throughout the nation. This self-styled advice in in- vcstmentS is the outcome of the present in- dustrla revival and is calculated to inveigle money from the pockets of the speeulating half of the nation. During the boom days such service was worth a fortune to the man or men who conducted it. Of course their dope was far from authentic and if money was made on their suggestions it was simply due to the fact that the country was enjoying bull market and no advice could be wrong. Now all sorts of schemes are afoot to trap the unwary investor. One of the favorite ones is to show how much

Disease-Free Milk

Twenty-Five years or more ago the national government made study of this same subject Its report required volume of nearly 1000 pages. It recorded several thousand epidemics of milk borne contagion.
 Today such volume would be thin In l931, for example. the milk inspector found only epidemes traeeabe to milk. The total number of persons contracting diseases - typhoid. paratyphoic. dphtheria, etc -A- was far smaller than back in the good old days. Most of the epidemics occurred in small towns or along small milk routes. Raw milk was the source of most of the out breaks, though pas:eurized milk had a few victims Pastedrization. it appears. is par tial safeguard, but it cannot be relied upon solely.
 It is more important that milk herds be kept free oE disease, that the bacteria content of milk be kept low. that the milk be kept absolutely clean and be handled according to strict sanitary rules. Ignorance of the causes of some diseases makes it difficult for human beings to guard against them. Milk carried impurities and contagious, however are undestood and no longer have any excuse for existing.

Washington-Form of the blanket recovery code fascinated the kibitizers as they peered be- hind the scenes.
 It finally emerged after being swamped in morass of detail and con fiicting opinion. Gen. Hugh Johnson conceived the idea and pushed it through, but Johnson allowed scores of people to, present their own views as to the codes provisions.
 Johnson was definitely fright ened by huge production of goods which. he believed were not being sold. And by the failure of con- suming power to keep up with rising production (Example: The shoe industry has been operating at virtually peak production, but its payrolls stand at 50 per cent
 of, their high mark). | Some members of Johnson's own staff opposed the blanket code project. Secretary of Commerce covery broad, persisted in opposi- ton, believing the program was operating with sufficient speed. The original plan was for a highly simplified code. But every one had different idea. Labor and capital pushed and pulled. Re- covery staff members added and substracted. Protests, demands and suggestions poured in from over the country. The special board overhauled the measure and the cabinet overhauled 1t again. Attorney c e eral Cummings called time out for 8 careful legal review. The document in draft be- | came 50 overloaded and complicat- ed that Johnson had to start all over again. Eventually the general went out to Chief Counsel Donald II. Rich- berg's houst one night and the two | men worked until 2 a m. to achieve q final draft for submission to the | president.

rate impression of this atmos- phere:
 Hope mingled with misgivings. Amateurs and professionals sailing into unchanged economic seas. Con- stant attempts to reconcile tho methods and aims of the emer- gency salvationists and the long, range planners. Confusion and in- coherence of organization beneath strong men too busy to be bothered with details.
 Rumors, half of them false, flying through the corridors. Dyna- mic men fred by delay and con- templative men irritiated by haste. And, above all, common driving urge to more forward through the forests of uncertainty.
 BalbO and African Prince.
 f Distracting relief was provided by Ras Desta Demtu and Gen. Italo Balbo, respectively the darlings of Ethiopia and Italy. Res Desta (called "Rastus, by correspond ents' ito the state Departments horor) reached the White House at t12:30 for a brief call and Balbo came at 12:45 for lunch.
 Italians and Philippians don't like each other. Italians have in- caded Ethiopia; Philippians have savage treated Italian prisoners of war. Ethiopa is one of our "pet" nations. Ras Desta's We'd nesday lunch date with Roose- welt was postponed to Friday be- cause of Roosevelts cold. Balbo popped in Thursday. The State De- partment realized Ethiopia might never get over it if Ras Desta didn't reach the White House first. The call was hastily arranged.
 Ras Desta in that appearance was a remarkable sight. Crowds, waiting and cheering for Balbo, saw the Ethiopian step from his car beneath a huge lines mane shako which was moored to his chin by a heavy gold chain. He wore blue tunic with a green velvet collar and an elaborate su- perstructure of gold braid hang ings and yellow sashes. His white puttee pants narrowed down to a pair of tiny patent leather shoes. His dark bearded face, protruding
