BUYING
CURTAILED
BY HEAT

NEW YORK, Aug. % Q.N.S).
Uneven consumer demand during
the past week extended further the
curtailment of retail distribution
which was noted in the preceding
week, according to weekly report
of Dun g. Bradstreet.
Record high temperatures IN
some districts reduced purchasing
in most cities by to 8 per cent.
cutting the increase over the 1885
week to 10 to IL per cent for the
country as whole. Fall mer'
chandise, as a result of tie heat,
attracted little attention, but re-
naming stocks of summer items
moved out rapidly. Special sales
practically cleared scant stocks Of
summer goods. August promotions
of furniture and housefurnishings
were less patronized, but inquiries
and lay-away deposits on furs in
creased. Sales of groceries and
canned goods rose abruptly.
Wholesale buying volume was
little changed in the week, gains
over last year holding between 20
and Is per cent. Few buyers were
in the leading markets, but at
smaller centers, trade shows con-
tinued to attract.

FALL OUTLOOK!
BRIGHT HERE

With June, July and all but one
week of August behind them,
Washington business men are now
in a position to check up on the
summer buying in the Capital in
the retail trade. On the whole,
it has been a satisfactory summer.
There are few spots which are
not ahead on the turnover during
the three hot months.
The best part of the situation
as it exists here, however, is that
there is every prospect of a con.
tinuance of the uptrend move
and, according to the outlook as
seen by the Washington Retail
Credit Bureau and expressed yes
terday by Managing Director John
K. Altaus, there is general optinl-
ism regarding fall business.
The current week was the best
business week during the month
of August and next week, with a
pay day scheduled, promises to be
even better than the present
week.
The furniture sales here are
now in full swing and are re-
ported as doing exceptionally
we'll. Sales of women's fur coats
and fall suits also are reported
excellent.
Local business houses are ener-
getically preparing for fall buy
ing activity which is expected to
increase materially over the sum-
mer period, although it is noted
that the usual summer business
slump in retail buying did not
appear here this year. This alb
sence of a summer let-up has al.
ready provided the momentum
for a fall getaway of a most pro-
pitious character. There will be
no business tailspin here, accord
ing to local business pilots.

September Is. to 81, thus placing
the issue on dividend basis Of 81

The board also declared the

IDLE Preference Stock, $4.25, Series
of 1885, payable October l to
holders of record September Is.
No action was taken on the Con-
vertible Preference Stock Optional
Series of 1929 because that stock,
at a special meeting on July 81,
was called for redemption on o.
tober /, and the amount of the
regular dividend is included as
part of the redemption price.
A letter to holders of all classes
of stock contained the following
statement:
"At this meeting the board of
directors considered the declara-
ton of an extra dividend to be
paid to common stockholders be-
fore the end of 1886 for the pur-
pose of substantially reducing
the amount of surtax on undiS-
tributed net income under the
Federal Revenue Act of 1886,
but it was deemed advisable to
postpone the declaration of an
extra dividend until the earn
ings for the full year can be
more accurately estimated"

Avaunt Romeo! Howard Wants to Top O His Career With

 He believes that Hamlet is the hardest thing on actor can do, and he hos worked for months on plans for tho production. It will be only 0 limited engagement, and he hopes 1t can take place this spring. The way things are going with Romeo and Juliet, though, 1t may be post. poned until autumn.

Howard will not be able to borrow himself to act In his own production. If he had to hiro some other actor, 1t would Do embarrassing, Oh. very!
 As soon as he decently can get around to 1t, Mir. Howard wants to quit acting. He's sure Q good many other seasoned performers feel the same way In the matter, though most of them haven't got around to admitting 1t.
 stage acting Is exciting at flrst," he said. "Veryl But there Is no mental activity in doing tho same things over and over again. Screen acting isn't quite satisfying, either. ! really like to work. detest the in- teryals of idleness that actors call resting
 Picture dirocting-that's what I most want to do. Oh, tremendously Of course l have some ideas about 1t. Principally, I want to try to use the screen to better advantage as on individual medium. Since talkies came In they have been tied too closely to the stage.

CAPITOL

All of the romance, the rich down. earth humor and kindli- ness that mark Will Rogers' per- formances have been captured fl, the picture which marks the climax of the great stars career, "In Old Kentucky" which starts tomorrow at the Capitol theater.
 Adapted and modernized from Charles T. DaSey's rlay-for thirty years America's favorite-"fn Old Kentucky" presents Rogers as 0 philosophical, humorous horse trainer who breeds colts into champions and smooths the course of love for youngsters in the sunny south.
 The plot of this colorful TO. nance revolves about the rivalry be. tween two feuding Kentucky fam. flies, both anxious to produce champion horses.
 Rogers is the trainer for the wealthy ehattucks first, then for the Maytingaies. And the shattucks replace him with Q young man brought from the East, Russel Har. die, who immediately falls in love with Nancy Martingale, played by Dorothy Wilson.
 The added attraction is Miss Pacific Fleet" starring Joan Blon. dell and olenda Farrell.
