Shock troops Of trade and indus

heavier dividends brought up the

and the approach of Christmas were
major factors contributing to un-
usual retail activity during the
week ended November 49," the de-
partment of commerce said in its
survey of 81 cities.
Retail Trade Increases
with the exception of some Pa
cific coast cities where the mari
time strike was exerting a de-
pressing influence, retail trade
throughout the United States surg
ed upward to heights far above
levels of this time last year"
A small upturn in steel mill op.
erations was aided, experts said, ~
demand prompted by price increases
scheduled for January 1. Trade
scources expressed satisfaction at
the proportion of output said to BE-
moving into active consumption.
Predicting steady production over
the next few weeks, some said a
possible advance would depend OIL
the rate at which specifications
might flow in from motor makers.
Output Surges Forward
Output was estimated at TAI per
cent of capacity by the American
Iron and Steel Institute compared
with 74.0 a week ago and 53.7 in
the like week last year.
Automobile output advanced to
110. 100 units from 104.24S a week

slackening over the next several

A MEASLEY TRICK

A measley trick was played on a
tourist family in Coolidge last Sun
day night when someone debated
three of the tires on their autouo,

Coolidge, and if persisted in the
word to give this town the goby

hurt trade in our business houses

vANDALs DESTROYING HISTORIC
MARKERS

During the past few weeks vandals
have begun to destroy and take
away historic markers erected
through the efforts of Mr.. ]. Alexis
Shriver, Director Historical Markers
for the State Roads Commission, and
already five have been taken from
Charles and Prince Georges coun-
ties.
The Police Department of the Dis
trict of Columbia has been actively
at work endeavoring to check any
junk dealers who might have receiv-
ed these markers from the vandals.
(The markers being of aluminium are
more valuable than they would be il
they were of cast from. The Police
Department of Baltimore is issuing a
circular to all junk dealers in an en-
deavor to locate any place where the
markers may have been disposed of
in Baltimore, and the State Police
Department is also cooperating in an
effort to see if any of these markers
have been disposed of to junk deal
ers throughout the State.
AS the State Roads Commission
has placed approximately 200 Of
these markers in the various coun-
ties throughout the State, for the
purpose of drawing tourists there to
see the points of historic interest,
which plan has been most success
fully carried out in Virginia and
other states, it is matter of deep
concern to each County that markers
be erected and protected for the
future.
Any information leading to the ar
rest and conviction of vandals who
wish to destroy such valuable assets
of the State should be promptly re-
ported to the State Police Depart
ment or directly to the State Roads
Commission, so that the matter can
be followed up without delay.
1t should be matter of pride to

help preserve historic spots, which
are not only interesting to us but
draw people from alb over the United
States into each community.
Will you cooperate in helping to
preserve these markers?
The markers which have been de-
stroyed are: "Araby," "Rose HILL"
"Piscataway, Governor SMALL

The State Roads Commission is
planning to erect about rs addition
al markers this year.

THE LOCUST
By UNA CLINGAN RANDS

Nature has her little pleasantries,
And plays her little jokes.
But it seems that they are not confined
To US poor human folks.
Just take the seventeen-year locust,
That energies and grows wings;
And with no more apparent aim in life,
Flies up a tree and sings.
Yet, is so much more credit due
The human race, by rights?
1t spends little time in singing,
But eats, and growls, and fights!
1 thought, as I heard the trilling,
Out in the woodland trees,
"If years lapsed twixt each generation,
Would the human race more please?"
For we take up our parents burdens
Prejudice, fear and hate,
Till the race is well nigh crippled,
With the accumulated weight.
Still we should pass on to our children
The truths we've learned, sublime,
Or we may have to all stay locusts,
Or worse-to the end of time.
So let's forget the wrongs now past,
Reaching forward to the better;-
Forget the hurts that blind and blast
Neighbor and nation, and hold them
In man-made chain and fetter.-
For our thoughts forge these same
chains that bind,
But the Truth can make us free,
And we ought to be as happy
AS a locust in tree!

good quality, but the letters OK
naturally took the place of the words
when written by persons not familiar
with the real meaning.
Another theory traces OK. to the
Choctaw Indians. In their barter
ing with other tribes, they used the
word "okeh' to designate piece OF
merchandise or livestock as fit and
good.
Others hold to the theory that the
initials OR, meaning ordered re-
corded" being carelessly written on
documents, were misread as OK
and so came to stand for symbol OF
correctness. 1t is also asserted that
OK, as an abbreviation for Artemus
Wards spelling of "all correct" first
gained currency among oldtime tele-
graph operators.
Still another theory is that years
ago customs inspector whose initi-
ais were OK" stamped them on
bales of goods that he passed.

ton says, the expression should be
written O.K'd or OK. ing.
