the foundation program of educa-
tion and pay for transportation and

first six months of 1885 hotels have
paid $10,445, restaurants $50, ,920

$4,000. Meantime the personal
travelling expenses of the head of
the division show that $209 was

cumbent, has spent in the successive
years, $119 in 1881, sos in 1892

Christmas Sales Up
 To Five Year Peak
National Retail Dry Goods Assn. Report Retail Sales ! to December IS Almost 10 Percent Over Last Year

Richmond retailer wired, aDecem- Der business so far indicates that it will be the largest December volume since 1929"
 R. A. Galbasin, of the May Com- pany, Denver, said there was "a six per cent increase in sales in Den- yer department stores, with sales continuing at fast pace." Abra- ham Schindel, of Kresge's, Newark, reported that retail business in that community was not only show ing a healthy advance due to nor- nal buying, but that the lifting of the sales tax in New Jersey was proving an additional stimulus.
 All Sections Ahead
 Every section of the country shared in upward movement of sales totals, according to the analysis of the reports by the N. R. D. c. A. Furthermore, the gains were more or less evenly distributed with no areas stepping far out into the lead. The gain in New Eng land stores was placed at 2 per cent; in the Middle Atlantic States, at 8 per cent; the Middle West, 10 per cent; the South, g per cent; and the Far Western states, 2 per cent.
 The nationwide gain of 9.5 per cent, as shown in the reports, com pares with an increase of ap- proximately 10 per cent for the whole month of December in 1884 over December 1883. In other words, department stores business thus far this month is almost a fifth greater than it was in Decem- Der two years ago.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-12-19

: New York, Dec. 19-An old-fasHi- toned Christmas with the tradition nl Yuletide stocking bulging to ai- most prosperity size seemed in store kor America to-day, as wired re- ports to the National Retail Dry- goods Association from department and speciality stores in representa- tive cities throughout the country indicated that retail sales had ex- banded almost 10 per cent over last year for the first half of December.
 The flash survey of the asso- Ciation showed that the stores re- porting had increased sales 9.5 per cent during the first 12 shopping days in December as compared with the first 12 shopping days in De- cember 1894.
 If this pace is maintained. until the end of the month, Charming E. Eweitzer, managing director, point ed out, the prediction of a $4,500,- OO0,0OO retail business s,r the month will be substantially fulfilled, and department store sales will have reached their highest total since 1880.
 Stores damned
 The telegrams pouring into the retail headquarters to-day radiated the cheerfulness of the crowds of shoppers tanning stores in every section of the country. Some stores said their sales figures for the first half of December were surpassing every year up to 1929, and one store, in resort city wired news of IF per cent gain. Coupled with the reports of sales increases, were announcements that the rapid turnover of merchandise, had ne- cessitated the hiring of extra work CTS in numerous stores in addition to the numbers originally planned at the start of the season.
 A. E. Simmons of the M. L. Parker Company, Davenport, Ia., reported, Local business best since 193O, with credit sales unusually brisk" while the Wolf & Dessauer Company, in Ft. Wayne, Ind, de- clared, Looks as though we have a chance of equalling 1929 figures. We have more people employed than at any previous time." A
