It's hard to believe that liquor snug
Cling has gained during the few months
of repeal. That is particularly hard
after reading recent news dispatches that
rum fleets have been giving up their
vigils of the Atlantic Coast and have re.
turned 10 their bases with cargoes still
intact. Still Admiral Harry G. Hamlet,
Coast Guard head. says there's due TO be
an increase. Not II our retail prices drop,

Representatives of a number OF social
agencies meeting in Hartford last week
were as one in declaring that the state
needs a new institution to care for feeble
minded. 1t may be recalled that an Ell
fort was made during the 1888 legisla-
tive session to secure an appropriation
with which to erect building for care
of the predetermined of the state. 1t
failed of passage. There are any number
of such individuals now in Connecticut
awaiting admission to institutions. How
ever, the waiting list is long and the care
of these mentally detectives urgent if the
state is to do it's part. There has been
some discussion lately of trying to get
federal funds with which to finance pur-
chase of site and erection of structure,
but it didn't get the proper support. Now
if the social agencies of the state are
united there may be more chance OF fore
ing the officials to some action. II there
are 1000 feeble minded persons awaiting
institutional care, as claimed, it is high
time that we met the problem fairly and
souarely. Our institutional needs along
these lines were outlined quite complete
ly five or six years ago. Since then we
have. done considerable work to relieve
conditions But the end is not yet IN
sight. We have more work still. Let's
not shirk it.

With the franking privilege granted
members of Congress costing the post

wonder is it that Postmaster-Ge
"Jim" Farley is casting about for ways
and means of getting his arm of the gov
eminent out of the red. He'd be able
to do it in few more years if it weren't
for the fact that the two-cent local rate
hasn't enticed as much business back as
it was supposed to do. The two cent rate
was placed on local mail when the three
cent rate had cut down drop-letter bust
ness to new low figures. This change is
going to cost Uncle Sam more millions
before rates are reestablished and old
business rewon.

There certainly ought to be excitement
galore in Massachusetts this fall. Remem-
Der when Frank A. Goodwin was that
states motor vehicle registrar. He
gained national fame by his rulings and by
his conduct of office. Not that it wasn't
exemplary. We're not charging him with
failure to live up to his duties. He was
the opposite type. He was glutton for
work and did all in his power to revolu-
tionize his department. He didn't meet
with complete agreement in all his plans,
though. Now he wants to run for gov
ernor and will seek the nomination at
both the democratic and republican pri-
mares. He probably figures that if he
can't secure it at one he's bound to get it
at the other. The primaries are sched-
ued for September. His political lean
ings have usually been republican, SO the
democrats aren't doing much worrying

forced to appeal to Juvenile Court

The suit added that Kyttle de-
faulted in the agreement he made
at the court to support the child.
The wife charged her husband
deserted her by moving all his
personal effects to the hotel from

quired his presence at the hotel.

SURVEY SHOWS
RETAIL TRADE
RISES HERE
Gains Range From "SIight" to
More Than 18. Pct; Some
Firms Claim Decrease

Business in most retail estab
lishments in Washington in
creased from a slight percentage
in some cases to more than Ia
per cent in others during 1888
as contrasted with 1882, as
result Of the NRA.
This is the conclusion drawn
by Major Raymond j. Walter,
executive officer of the District
NRA Compliance Board, follow
ing the tabulation today of the
first returns in a survey OF local
trade instituted last week by local
recovery officials.
Merchants, large and small, re-
ported that the NRA is "a fine
thing" and assigned the recov'
cry program as the reason for
a boost in business, which, in
several cases, was said to have
started during September and
October.
Unanimity Lacking
But not all of the firms were
so enthusiastic, since several
claimed that trade has decreased.
One large store asserted that
its revenue had dropped 19 per
cent.
Especially during December,
the greater part of the mer-
chants said, was there a no
ticeable upswing over the fig.
ures for 1882. The boosts aver
aged about 9 per cent, ranging
from SIS per cent to 20 per
cent.
OF those noting their December
figures, two-thirdS stated that
there were good gains, one-sixth
reported business as being "the
same" and the other one-sixth
claimed slight decreases.
Pay Cuts Attacked
Federal pay cuts came in for
much criticism. Many of the re-
tailers feel. according to their re-
ports, that Washington, not being
an industrial center, is more han
dicapped than other cities in the
recovery parade, since payrolls
elsewhere have increased to a
much greater extent. In Wash
ington Federal payrolls have de.
creased.
In commenting on the purpose
Of the NRA, one merchant stated
"The idea is good and all
right for big industrial con-
Germs, but not for smaller re-
tail merchants"
Another said:
"An right for Industrial CEN
terS but not good for Washing
ton unless Government salaries
are increased"
Actual figures for increases in
December of last year over the
year before ranged from $807 in
one small shop to $51,223 in one
of the largest local stores.
