Special Dispatch to The Star.
NNAPOLIS, Md. November Is.
" Lieut.. Tom Hamilton, the
~ man practically chosen by the
naval service to break the long
series of Army victories and believed
by its members to have the best foot
ball head of any Naval Academy
graduate, is planning the strategy by
which Navy hopes to upset the dope
and win from the Pittsburghers, who
are named by every expert in the
country as nearly sure winners here
Saturday.
Navy hopes to hinder, but has no
confidence that it can stop the fierce
charges of the Panthers, but it will
present new phases Of its brilliant
passing and running attack by which
it hopes to more than offset anything
Pitt can do in the way of scoring.
Navy expects its opponents to score,
but it has strong hopes that the
result of Hamilton's planning and
the faithful execution by its players
will be a larger score.
The team worked on these plays
yesterday and kept it up until long
after the f1oodlights had been turned
on. There was a similar program
for this afternoon, which would end
the hard work in preparation for the
Pitt game.
Navy players are not likely to see
their opponents until they meet on
the playing field. The Pitt squad will
spend Friday afternoon and evening
in Washington and will practice on
the Georgetown field.

Plan Increased Sales to Keep
Pace With Higher Whole
sale Expenses.
BY F. v. A. RESCH,

CHICAGO, January 27.-Increased
sales to keep pace with higher whole
sale costs is an object of immediate
concern in the mems retail apparel in
dustry.
The merchants one fear shown by
reports of the National Association of
Retail Clothiers and F'urnishers, is that
costs will rise more rapidly than sales.
Despite increases in expenses to date.
the average retail clothier is marking
his merchandise less than is per cent
higher than during the very lowest
point in the depression" according to
the associations data
Wholesale costs have risen so rapidly,
the association is advised, that the
merchant fears to pass on the entire
increase to the public. Rather. he
hopes added volume will permit him to
break even.
Profits Analysis Begun.
Already the association has begun
analysis on 1888 expenses and gross
profits in the industry, with view to
determining what changes the average
retailer must make to realize a profit
in 1884.
As far as merchandise Is concerned,
the association finds, retail clothiers
have started 1894 in excellent condi-
tion," with stocks relatively low and
less than an average volume of clear
ance goods available.
Holiday sales. which increased 40
per cent in Southern cities over 1882
and close to 80 per cent for the Nation
generally, depleted merchandise 50 that
mark-down sales
we're planned by comparatively few re-
tailers.
Mark Downs Smaller.
The average mark down this year, a
survey by the association shows, will
run closer to 10 per cent than the 20,
80, 40 and so per cent Of previous
years.
Some stores are reducing prices on
overcoats only. Others have marked
down furnishing items left over from
the holidays, but few plan extensive
mark downs on new, clean merchandise
which, they contend, cannot be re-
placed at anything close to its cost.
In the East larger mark-downs are
reported than for the country gener-
ally. Sales improvement during De-
cember was less notable for Eastern
cities according to the associations re-
ports, than for cities in other sections.
