SHOPPERS TAKE
OWN PARCELS

Women shoppers are beginning
to benefit by their Christmas
shopping experience of other
years and are carrying their
small parcels instead of having
them delivered by the stores,
E. D. Shaw, secretary of the
Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, said today.
The bugbear of retail stores
during Christmas time has been
the difficulty of tracing parcels,
Shaw explained, and small par
GELS have caused much more
trouble than the large ones.
This year, after it's early
Christmas shopping" drive was
we'll started. local merchants and
the association began a campaign
to persuade purchasers to tote
their small parcels home and
the effort is being well repaid.

BUYING SHAVED
S22,000,000
BYPAY CUTS
Federal Wage Slash Seen As
a Reason for Decline in the
Building of Homes Here

Federal salaries in Washing
ton probably average about $1700
a year, representing a drop Of
about 20 per cent from the
figure a few years ago and a
loss in buying power locally OF
at least $22,000,000 a year, &C
cording to the best available
estimates.
A reduction Of IS per cent
from the former figure computed
at the time of the classification
acts passage at $2,100 must be
made for the salary cut now in
effect. In addition, a large
number of the higher-salaried
employees have been eliminated
through compulsory retirements,
without advancement Of their
successors.
Another Per Cent
No exact figures are avail
able for the effects Of this re-
tirement policy, but experts es-
innate that it will amount to
another five per cent off the
average salary, aid this is pretty
well rubstantiated by such other
tests as can be made, particu-
larly examination of total pay
rolls and total number Of en-
ployeS.
The loss Of $22,OO0,OOO a year
in purchasing power is even
more .ferious than the figures
indicate by themselves, for the
amount Of the pay cut represents
in large measure the surplus
Federal employees had to spend
after bare necessities he'd been
provided for. This type Of ex-
penditure is made for products
not strictly in the class Of neces-
sites, or for better grade prod
ucts than can be purchased at
present salary levels.
Nearly $4O,OOO,OOO
Consequently, the effect is that
many shops dealing j. goods OF
higher quality, or not strictly in
the class of essentials, have been
seriously hit, and the purchasing
power of their own proprietors and
employees has been correspond
ingly injured. It seems reasonable
to assume that if the purchasing
power of government workers has
been cut $22,000,000, and they
represent half or more Of the
gainfully employed persons in
Washington, the total loss of pur-
chasing power would be close to
twice that figure, say $4,000, 900.
Building Held Up
This does not take into account
the fact that lower salaries have
deferred Government workers from
building and buying homes, with
the result that the construction
workers of this city have suffered
serious unemployment.
Restoration Of the Government
pay roll, with assurance of Sc
curity to Federal employees, would
presumably stimulate spending at
the old scale, and bring around
$40, 900, 900 more into circulation
in the capital than at the present
time,

To DENY ALL
LICENSES
Mt. Rainier and HyattsviIIe
Oppose Sales; RiverdaIe,
Laurel Ask Ballot

Demands that no loquor licenses
be issued to applicants in Mt.
Rainier and Hyattsville were filed
today with the Prince George
county liquor control board by
officials of those two towns and
representatives Of dry organiza-
tionS.
Acting on the advance of their
counsel, A. Gwynn Bowie, mem
bers of the board announced they
will hear the applicants pleas to-
morrow before making any de-
cision in the controversy.
Big Majority
Only 81 persons voted in favor
of liquor sales in Mt. Rainier at
the town meeting held in the
Cameo Theater last night, while
more than 500 insisted that the
town be kept dry.
Mayor John H. Bell, Of Mt.
Rainier, Councilman Floyd Ma
thias, and Mrs. Edgar Durant. Of
the w. C. T. u, headed the dele
CATION from that town which
urged that no licenses be issued.

that no liquor be sold there.
Meanwhile, representatives Of
those towns and Riverdale and
Laurel are planning to appear be-
fore the State legislature today to
present a bill asking that the
State liquor law be amended to
allow these towns to hold refer
endum on the question Of liquor
sales.
Bill Drafted
The bill was drawn last night
following a conference between
the mayors and councils Of the
towns seeking the referendum,

lature is expected to, end today or
tomorrow.
Montgomery Oasis

Georges is still dry, Montgomery
county, with its dispenSary system,
was the oasis for parched District

RADIO RULING c
AGAINST WGN

Experiment in radio synchro-
nization broadcasting by the
Federal Radio Commission was
upheld today in an opinion of the
District Court of Appeals.
The experiment was made with
radio stations WBBM, Chicago,
and WFAB, Lincoln, Neb. Syn
chronizing programs of these sta
tionS, the commission allowed
them to operate simultaneously
on the same frequency with the
same programs between 10 p. m.
and midnight.
This method of operation. the
court noted, was a new advance
ment in radio operation and not
a regularly recognized method of
broadcasting. Since stati on
WBBM was also licensed to oper-
ate from 7 to 10 p. m, the COM
missions authorization of the
experiment had the effect of plac-
ing the station on full time
operation. Objection to this was
raised by Station WGN, Chicago.

vantages all around will be slight.
There is talk already of the regrettable
necessity of retaining the high income
taxes and the gasoline tax-or if they
cannot be retained, of reenacting
them-in spite of the levies on liquor.
The reason I am pleased is that since
the days of "Beer for Taxes" I have
held that drinking is either too human
or too sublime a function to be used for
making money. (That is the great
moral objection to bootlegglng, too.)
There should be profit in liquor,

the most agreeable circumstances.
