RETAIL SALES.

Slow, Holiday And
Warmer Weather

NEW YORK, July 5.-Rl-Retail
distribution showed some gain dur
ing the past week. said Dun a.
Bradstreet Friday In their weekly
summary Of business conditions.
In wholesale markets and In most
lines OF industry business was slow
because OF seasonal factors and the
holiday. Regarding the major pro-
ducing lines, the summary COM
mented that although the recess
sion in many cases was less than
seasonal, nearly all Of the lines
that charted the course Of the
leading industrial indices either
flattened out or turned downward"
THE Improvement in retail sales
which began during the last ten
DAYS Of June was extended rapid
" during the week, due to the
warmer weather prevailing in most
parts Of the country and the mos
elaborate preparations for celebra-
ton OF Independence Day that
have been made in years.
I'm spite Of the record breaking
heat wave which prevailed q year
ago. the improvement over the good
showing Of retail sales for that
period ranged from 8 TO % per
cent.
Warm weather and special pre-
holiday promotions were sufficient
10 overcome seasonal ~retardative
influences in the southwest As re-
tail sales were up from 8 TO IL
per cent from the week preceding:
and 20 to 80 per cent In excess OF
the corresponding 1884 total"
Reviewing the results for the
first half of the year. the summary
said there we're moderate gains IN

merous r~etardative factors" and
th.t there has been "a gradual bu
IRREGULAR uptrend in practically all

Resembling the gas tax in its
growth to popularity. the sales tax
Is used in many states. Forms OF
this levy vary greatly. The prin-
cipal ones are the gross sales tax,
paid by the retailer. and the retail
sales tax, commonly passed on to
the consumer.
Governments collect special taxes
OF cigarets and tobacco, butter
substitutes. malt extract and other
specific articles.
LIQUOR and beverage taxes are not
new, and since national repeal,
nearly all states where liquor Is sold
now realize something In the way Of
taxes.

The state produces annually close

which only about 10 per cent Is

The new Sweeney law Is estimated

Mussolini's Defiance to

SIMULTANEOUSLY with the open

solini gave the signal for tremendous
mass gatherings of all Fascists in
Italy. Millions of Back Shirts in all
the cities dropped everything and as
sembled to cheer for the Duce and his
African adventure. From the balcony
of the Venezia palace in Rome the
premier shouted the words that COM
mitted his nation to policy that may
mean either victory or ruin. He reit-
Grated his determination to seize ter
ritory from Ethiopia but declared he
would do everything possible to pre-.
vent the campaign from bringing on a
European war. But he warned the
League of Nations and all nations to
keep their hands off. saying:
ITO sanctions of an economic char
acter we reply with our discipline. our
sobriety. and our spirit of sacrifice.

A. F. of L. Report Says
Preserve Basic Law


a MEXICAN FEDERATION OF La
n Dor opened its annual cOnven-
ton in Atlantic City with many prob
lens up for discussion. In its report
tie executive council advocated pres
ervation of the national constitution,
without amendment for the present,
as best for industrial recovery. 1t said !:
"That some control must be exerted
over the former system of laissez faire
cannot be denied.
(NRA). (which has been concluded,
has helped to point the way to the
goal which we must seek. How is
congress to acquire that control over
the industry and trade of our country
which will make possible the neces-
sary reforms?
Until exhaustive studies have been
made with respect to attaining this
great objective, under our present con-
stitutiOn, we cannot recommend just
what steps should be taken in connec-
ton with this particular problem"
The report urged vigorous action to
drive Reds out of the federation, and
recommend the continuation of a
strict labor boycott on German goods
and services until the Nazis gave sad
eQuate recognition and protection to
the rights of minority groups"
The Wagner labor disputes law was
called the federation's greatest vic
tory of the last year. It's functioning
under the interstate commerce clause
of the Constitution was called "the one
outstanding question"

Food Expert Turns Court
Into School and Wins Case

Uncle Sans food examiners strive
for accuracy-it's part of their job.
One of them recently converted a
federal court into a schoolroom and
enabled the government to win a con.
rested food seizure case. The can
merry whose food was seized testified
its count of molds was consistently
lower than those of the government.
b. J. Howard, chief of the micro
analytical laboratory of the food and
drug administration. who teaches
cannery employees the proper method
of using the microscope In eXamiu-
ing and counting molds on foods, was
summoned.
At the courts direction he instruct
ed the cannery's food examiner In
correct use of the microscope and
revealed errors in the latter's metn-
cd of examination. The cannery at
tOrney watched closely. and later
consented TO a decree of condemna-
ton as originally sought by the gov
eminent.

planes. The immediate objective was
Aduwa, the scene of the terrific Italian
defeat 80 years ago. After several
days of hard fighting against the de-
Tending Ethiopians, who lost prab-
ably 1000 killed, the invaders
marched into Aduwa, and considered
that the disgrace Of 1896 had been
avenged. The Italian soldiers of Gen.
eral Marivigna's command entered
first, carrying to the principal square
and there erecting a big stone monu-
ment inscribed ITO the fallen heroes
of Aduwa." There was a report that
Mussolini would fly to Aduwa to I'M
veil this memorial.
Italy officially announced that all of
Tigre province was in Italian hands,
and at the same time her columns
were advancing into Ethiopia from
the south and east, with the city of
Harrar and the cOuntry's one railway
as their objective. Squadrons of
bombing planes were flying here and
there, destroying towns and killing
many of the inhabitants. In the north
ern sector the italian forces were
moving onward toward Makale and
Aksum, where the Philippians were
reported ready to offer stiff resist
ance. Emperor Halle Selassie was
said to be about to go to the northern
front. He and his advisers were APP
parently quite satisfied with the show
ing already made by his armies and
spoke contemporary of the Italian
victories.
Meanwhile, in Geneva, the League
of Nations council, after hearing the
report of a committee of six, found
that Italy had resOrted to war in vio-
lation of the league covenant. This
automatically must be followed by
sanctions, beginning with the sever
ance of all trade and financial rela-
tons with the aggressor nation.
Probably Italy could not long endure
these penalties, and Geneva was full
of rumors that Mussolini was dis
posed to talk peace with Emperor
Halle Selassie after the taking of
Aduwa. Premier Laval of France, it
was said, proposed to Baron Aloisi
that the Duce accept an immediate
cessation of hostilities and the creation
of neutral zone in Ethiopia. The
peace rum0rs also were heard in Adds
Ababa and one of the emperor's adj
visers, asked whether the reports
were true, replied almost" 1t was
believed Halle Selassie would insist,
in case an armistice were declared,
that all Italian troops withdraw from
the empire. Italian officials in Rome
said they were not thinking of peace
terms and that their campaign had
just started
Halle Selassie's order for general
mobilization was carried throughout
the empire by the ominous beating of
the war drums, and his eager warriors
responded by the hundred thousand.
The emperor's first war order was to
his chieftain, Ras Kabada, and three
other generals, to take $4,000 men to
Mt. Mussa Ali. The defense in the
North was entrusted to the Negradas
of Wollacho. 1t was estimated at Ad-
dis Ababa that the emperor could
count on the services of about 1885,
600 fighting men, and the women also
are ready for active work in the con-
flict.

Embargo Is Proclaimed
and Travellers Warned

EIRST giving assurance, in his
L speech at San Diego, that the Unit
ed States would not be drawn into
any foreign war. President Roosevelt
issued two important proclamations.
One proclaimed the embargo on all
shipments of war material to the bel
ligerent nations. The other warned
Americans that travel on Italian or
Ethiopian vessels would be at their
own risk. Since Ethiopia has no ship
ping, the latter proclamation was d.
rected solely against Italy. In yet an
other statement the President reversed
our national policy by declaring that
Americans who engage in "transac-
tions of any character" with either of
the warning nations will do so at their
own risk" In the past the United
