 Coco Cola scared 13 points to a record high at 293. Rubber issues gained fractions to more than a point.
 Demand for mail order shares came simultaneously with the Oc- tober sales report of Montgomery Ward & Co. which set a new high record. The total of $35, ,897, ,447 was 2O.8 per cent over October, 1884. It brought the total for the year to date to $217, ,2O7, ,992, up 19 per cent.
 Indications the railroads might soon place large orders for equip- ment helped equipment shares. American Locomotive made a new high.

WARM WEATHER RETARDS SALES
Fuel, Clothing Kept Back in New England Busi-
 nessais Much increased

Boston Nov. 7.-(UP)-Unseason- ably warm weather continued to re- tard sales of fuel and clothing in New England this week, but manu- featuring is gaining and general business, except retail, is well over a year ago, Dun & Bradstreet Inc. said today.
 The survey cited electric output last week up more than 12 per cent. and carloadings up 8 1-2 per cent from Q year ago, while September automobile registrations gained 12 per cent from the corresponding 1884 month. For the year to date, registra tions are, about 1 per cent ahead of the 1884 period. Department Stores
 Department store sales in Sep- tember rose g per cent from year ago, but for the year to date they remained 1 per cent lower. Mems clothing, up 21 per cent led the sales showing, and women's ready to wear departments gained IA per cent, but silk and cotton dress goods were slow.
 The review said woolen mills, which showed an increase of 78 per cent in consumption in the first 8 months of the year, are now booked up 10 weeks in advance and 1t is ex- pected that the current rate of ac- tivity will continue another months. The raw wool market showed increased activity at slightly higher prices.
 Cotton Goods Sell
 Sales of cotton goods during the past 2 months have somewhat de- pleted the supply, as mills continue operating on 8 curtailed basis" the report said. "Unfilled orders are increasing. Consumption of raw cotton by the New England mills for the first g months of the year was 12 Ia per cent less than a year ago. During September, how ever, there was an increase of about IT per cent as compared with September, 1884"
 It found cotton cloth sales last week smaller than in. tn previous week. Mills bought raw material for medium and course grade pro- duction.
 No Real Profits
 "Very few of the mills have been able to make a manufacturing profit thus far this year." the sur- vey said, although at present the outlook is more favorable and or- ders on hand are larger than for some time past"
 Boot and shoe production in the first g months of this year was IS per cent above year ago, 1t con- tinued, with Maine and New Hamp- shire showing most of the gain. Massachusetts output was lower be- cause of the removal of factories from the south shore towns to northern points. Current orders were regarded as satisfactory. Hide and leather prices were firm.

CCCBoys Become Bug Collectors For Science
Scanper Through Fields of West Picking Up Deadiest Insects Known to Man-They Are Ground Up
 For Vaccine to Cure Spotted Fever

They scout around for likely place, then drag their flags across the grass and bushes. The ticks be- come entangled in the nap of the flannel. The rest is easy. The bug hunters lift their quarry of the flag and drip the min bottles. They have to be careful and not squeeze because a dead tick is no good.
 Every couple of weeks the tick collectors make a shipment of lively i::.3ects to the Hamilton laboratory. There the technicians feed and fat ten the ticks and make sure they're infested with spotted fever.
 They Are Ground Up
 Then they put the ticks in a mor- tar, taking care that none crawl out and bit the hand that fed them, pour on salt solution and grind them up with a pestle, like druggist does chalk. The resulting mixture of ticks next is sterilized, treated with Ihenol and filtered, whereupon 1t is bott.e, ready for use.
 This tincture of ticks is injected under the skin of anybody asking for 1t. Federal physicianss aid it is 8 sure preventive. So every CCC man entering tick infested area is innoculated. About 12,000 of them a., treated yearly.
 The three members of the corps, consequently, have gone to their beds with spotted fever.

 Apprehensive lest Sgrillo return to Plank Road later in the day and attempt to kill them, members of the Turzo family asked for police protection, and two. patrolmen were left at the house, while the other bluecoats continued the search.
 Mrs. Turzo was looking out the window of her home on Plank road, near the intersection of Harpers Ferry road, and she saw her father approaching. He did not have any gun in his hands, but, remember ing that he was wanted for the Brooklyn shooting last night (which fact she had heard in the news broadcast) and knowing that he un- doubtedly had a gun in his pocket, she locked all the doors and shouted at Sprillo to leave. He continued to approach, however, and she gave an alram that brought detectives, motor patrolmen and several other policemen to the scene.
 May Hide i'm Cellar
 Mrs. Turzo believed that he might be hidden in the cellar and that was searched as were several nearby shacks and garages. Police then threw a circle about the en- tire territory, and closed it in by degrees but the mad gunman had disappeared.
 Sgrillo, is about five feet, seven inches tall, weight about 190 pounds and walks with g limp, hav- ing suffered an injury to his left leg some time ago. When seen this afternoon be had on grey soft hat and blue suit.

 Washington, November 7-CUP) --CCC boys scampering through the fields in the west with white flags dragging the grass aren't eurythmic dancers. Neither are they surrendering to anybody.
 They're the New Deals bug col- lectors.
 They gather some of the dead Hest insects known to man and turn them over to the public health service, which grinds them up and makes vaccine to combat Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
 It takes a lot of wood ticks to make little serum. Before the civilian conservation corps began sending city boys into the woods, the government paid half cent each for ticksfi which are grayish brown and about the size of a match head. That ran into money.
 100000 Ticks a Year
 The CCC now collects about 100,- 900 ticks 8 year and does it free. These are delivered to the public health laboratory at Hamilton, Mont.
 The CCC camp at Nine Mile, Mont, has the champion bug col- lecting squadron of 20 men. Every morning they go out with flags of whit flannel attached to sticks.

ITALY WILL KEEP
 ATHLETES HOME

Rome, Nov. 7-(UP)--A blanket prohibition forbidding Italian ath- letes to compete in contests in any country which is cooperating in League of Nations penalties against Italy was believed imminent today.
 A decree of the executive board of the National Olympics committee made public today forbade Italian athletes to participate in the Eu- ropean weight lifting championships at Paris Saturday and Sunday be- cause of Frances participation in penalties. Athletes, in training at Varese, were ordered to their homes.
 It was believed that the board would follow this with g new decree including all league countries.

Adolf Hitler through Wolfgang Krauel, his consul general here, has informed the league mi-officially by verbal message that Germany will not seek to profit by the Italian Ethiopian war.
 Actually the effect of the mes sage is to end Italian hopes that Germany, a non-member of the League and a great European pow CT, will aid 1t in defeating League penalties for its war on Ethiopia.
 It is not that Germany wants particularly to aid the league from which 1t resigned in anger two yeats ago. But Hitler is deter mined to preserve Germany's nell trality in the crisis, as has PreSi- dent Roosevelt in the case of the United States, and the effect of Hitier's message is to tell Premier Beslito Mussolini that Germany will not be source of supplies which are on the list of key products that the league will deny Italy af- ter Nov. IS.
 Message Given Yesterday
 Consul General Krauel gave hi: message yesterday to Alexander Loyeday, director of the leagues economic intelligence section. An official source gave the United Press the following paraphrase ot the verbal message:
 Germany has undertaken to ap- ply during the next few days ser- ies of laws which will either put under control or eventually prohibit the exportation of, series of pro- ducts which includes not only war materials but also other products The aim of these measures is te prevent Germany being drawn into conflict. Purchase in large quanti- ties by foreigners have been observ- ed. leading to the belief that the materials purchased are destined for belligerent countries"
 German circles indirectly confirm this version. They say that Ger many probably will establish ar embargo soon covering not only wal materials but also essential product: such as those on the leagues em- bargo list.
 Hitler Wants Peace.
 These circles repeat the intima. tions received previously from Der. lin that Hitler wants peace and that he does not want his country t( profit from the present war. The, say also that in keeping with thi! policy Germany is going to proven indirect shipments of vital mater ials to Italy.
 Any German action would O course deny materials to Italy ana Ethiopia alike, just as the Ameri can warning against patronage O shipping of belligerent nations i aimed against any Ethiopian oceai liners that might touch United States ports.
 The effect of any German legis lation, apparently make sure tha Italy does not receive any unusua quantities of key materials eithe directly or indirectly from Germany
 Thus Germany would be passive

The Dessye trip has not been abandoned, reliable sources said, although ad- visers have tried to persuade the emperor not to go to the front line war zone. Crown Prince Acfaou Woson arrived by airplane from Dessye today and will remain at the Royal palace until the emperor re- turns from the front.

ly cooperating with the league even though neutral and if Austria re- frains from imposing penalties, its importance as a corridor between Germany and Italy would vanish at once.
 The work of making ready for the leagues boycott of Italian goods and its denial to Italy of key pro- ducts, effective November IS, is pro- ceeding steadily. Russia, Spain, Po- land, Jugoslavia, Roumania, Greece, Sweden, Turkey and Switzerland have been named as a committee to sit permanently after November 18 to observe closely the application of penalties by member states.
 Ark of the Covenant
 Washington, Nov. 7.-(UP).-Stu- dents of Biblical history said today that the original Ark of the Coven- ant is believed to have been kept in the Holy City of Askum since the days of Solomon.
 They said the most reliable ac- count of the transfer of the ark was as follows:
 Menelik, son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, was educated at Jerusalem. In later years, when the city was threatened with in- vasion, the Israelites sent the ark to Ethiopia, placing it in Menelik's s care SO that it might be safe un- til the danger was past.
 When they later sent representa- tives to Askum to reclaim the ark, the Ethiopian priests were reluctant to surrender it. After some delay, they purportedly gave the Israelites 8 repllca of the ark which was so perfectly designed that the decep- ton was not discovered.
 The ark which the Israelites took back to Jerusalem eventully was lost in tribal wandering and wars. But, according to the experts, the original ark apparently remains to- day in Askum.

Great Britain,s Demand

London, Nov. 7.-(UP) Great Britain'S demand for cessation of anti-British propaganda in Italy is impeding conclusion of an Anglo Italian agreement to ease tension in the Mediterranean, it was under stood today in well-informed diplo- matic quarters. If this difficulty can be overcome, however, diplomats felt an agreement would be in sight, based on proposals for Britain to withdraw two battle cruisers and one squadron of destroyers from the Mediterranean and Italy to recall another division of troops from Libya. It was believed, however, that discussion of all aspects of the sit- uation, particularly the British de- mand for cessation of Italian press and radio attacks on Britain, would require extensive furthre conversations.
