Seven Cities.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A slump In retail business in seven
large cities last week was blamed yes
terday by the Commerce Department
on unseasonably warm weather.
New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
Norfolk. Birmingham, Cincinnati and
Indianapolis reported that a warm
spell had held up Winter buying, but
that they expected the first touch Of
cold weather to unleash stored-up
purchasing power.
On the other hand, nearly all the
other major cities covered by the de-
partment's weekly survey Of business
conditions noted better retail business
than they experienced the correspond
ing week of last year.
Industrial Gains Noted.
Industrial conditions. too. con-
tinued favorably, with employment
increasing, the department said. More
men were reported at work in Cleve-
land than at any time since May,
1880. Detroit employment was listed
at fraction above its 1923-25 average.
A Cincinnati radio manufacturer
reported October sales as so per cent
above those for october last year.
Automobiles, construction, railroads
and foreign customers bought more
steel in Pittsburgh. Birmingham
forecast at least eight weeks of work
for 1000 men with the placing of
an order for 10000 tons of rails for
the Louisville g. Nashville Railroad.
Chicago Sales Up.
The first touch of cold weather
boosted retail sales in Chicago, par
ticularly sales of Winter clothing. st.
Louis noted a 8 per cent gain over
the corresponding week last year
Kansas City sales were up 20 per
cent, while increased automobile pay
rolls were felt by Detroit's retail
stores.
Among other cities to report gains
we're Houston, San Francisco, Los
Angeles. Seattle, Memphis and New
Orleans.
Department store sales in New York
fell off 65 per cent from those Of the
corresponding week last year. Phila-
delphia sales we're down 4 per cent.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK? By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma

Edgar G. Harris, publisher of the West Point (Miss) Daily Times Leader and president of the Tupelo (Mss) Daily News believes the growth and development o chain merchandising during the past few years due large to the fact that they have made intelligent of the ad Verng columns of the local newspapers in towns and cities where they operate
 The local merchant who complains of chain store con- petition solve his problem only by using chain store methods says Publisher Harris.
 As matter of fact he says the average local mer- chant has tremendous advantage his nonresident competitor because the personal equation is still dominant factor in the smaller towns and cities.
 Discussing the matter of store advertising in general Mir. Harris says:
 Newspaper advertising is much important to the small city merchant than to the big city store Attractive show windows and well displayed merchandise may be de- pended upon fair volume of business in the big city for the well located store.
 But the is not true of the small city establish ment where so few people walk past the place go browsing around for bargains.
 "The who comes in from the country the suburb of the small city usually has his her mind made up beforehand In other worlds the shopping list is complete and purchases usually made at the store with which the customer familiar through constant newspap CT advertising
 The day of the old-fashoned storekeeper is gone for The merchant taking his place. And the real mer- chant in the small city and the big knows that adverts- ing today the greatest potential force in modern merchan- diSing'

UNGUARDED ALASKA

Alaska, not Hawaii, is our natural military base Qh the Pacic) Toko is twice the distance from Honolulu as il is from Alaska
 That is the statement made by Vilhjalmur SefanSson the explorer who familiar with northern conditions than any other American.
 Yet the United States has done nothing to defend tha land of enormous richness from attack
 There is no naval base Aaskas long coast line; no adequate military defense.
 In 1881 the Army General Staff urged Notifications and bases be established in the Territory but the recommends ton has not been followed.
 Alaska has no of defense and is open to any ene- my which might attack it.

 And Japan is notoriously ortifyng it's mandate islands Even the blind League of Nations knows that GeneVe IS polite to Japan about this violation of Pacific understanding but admits the fact with the naive suggestion that Japan dsprove the charge by permitting foreigners to visit those islands.
 Japan having temporarily sated its appetite in Man chlia is now pressing eastward toward Hawaii with it's aggressive program. Alaska is helpless in it's path.

.L|NDBERGH HOP
. 8YEARS AGO

Eight years ago this morning
Washington, and the rest of the
nation, casually picked up morn
ing papers and read that some
'crazy" 25-year-old transforming
aviator had left New York for
Paris.
BY nightfall they had joined the
worlds biggest cheering section, "
and when young Slim Lndbergh
landed al. LIE Bourget Field outside
Paris the next day plane took
off from Boiling Field, trailing a
dong piece of bunting, to announce
to waiting thousands that the
transatlantic flight had been com
pleted.
Few people took Charles Lind
bergh seriously when he said he
would fly to Paris, but his success
in the flight prompted one OF the
strangest emotional outburStS the
world has ever known. The flight
so appealed to the fancy that
everyone felt the necessity to cele-
brate the feat of a man of whom
they had never heard two days
before.
On his return to the United
States Lindbergh became the ma
tons most popular hero, crowds
gathered everywhere to get a
glimpse Of him, and today Colonel
Lindbergh still is trying to get
away from the spotlight into
which he flew in his monoplane
that May day eight years ago.

eve desire that in your ar.
dent prayers invoking the pa

ask of the Lord that which Is so
dear to our heart, namely, that
England, in the words of
st. Paul, meditating the happy
c0nsummatiOn that crowned the
lives of these two martyrs, may
follow them in their faith, and
return to the Fathers house in
unity of faith and knowledge Of
the Son of God
'Iet those who are still sep
arated from us consider atten-
lively the ancient glories of
their church, which were at
once the reflection and incre-
ment Of the church of Rome.
"Let them consider, moreover,
and remember that this apos-
tolic see has been waiting for
them so long and so anxiOusly,
not as coming to a strange
dwelling place, but as finally re-
turning to the paternal home"
