GROCERY VOLUMES.
INCREASE. SHARPLY.
New Records for Output and
Distribution Set in Third
Quarter.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, October l9.-Stimu-
lated INTO one of the most active
periods in many years by the drought
situation and the concomitant, abrupt
rise of prices, some new records for
both production and distribution were
set down for the grocery trade during
the third quarter of the current year,
according to survey by Dun e.
Bradstreet, Inc.
With food boarding widespread
among consumers, the rapid rate of
buying sent retail sales for the first
9 months II to l8 per cent over the
comparative 1885 total. Paucity of
immediate supplies prevented whole
salers from showing sharper in
crease than Is to 80 per cent from
the previous years volume.
Orders to manufacturers Of food
products during the third quarter were
in many instances double those of
year ago, and employment for the
first months of 1886 was 10 per cent
larger than in 1929.
Independent retailers have taken a
larger share OF the increased grocery
distribution this year, but some Of the
voluntary chains have fallen behind
their 1885 record. Many of the chains
have given more attention to man.
ager-owned stores. The development
Of supermarkets has been widened
with considerable success, due to more
responsible administration.
Notwithstanding the increased VOL
ume. that has been chiefly in staples,
in which a narrow profit has ruled,
most wholesalers have been disap-
pointed with their returns thus far this
year.
Although wholesale prices have
reached a 6-year high much of this
rise will not be passed on to the
public until next Spring. Food sup
plies are estimated at per cent
smaller than average. with consump-
ton running about y per cent larger.

MAN HELD HERE
IN EYE RACKET

Postal inspectors today made
their first arrest in the Washing
ton area in what they described as
a nationwide "eye-doctor racket"
by which professional racketeers,
some of them with criminal rec
ords, have obtained huge sums
from credulous sufferers from eye
Affections.
Wanted in two States. and under
indictments in one, Hymn n
Schwartzman of Washington and
Baltimore was picked up on a
fugitives warrant in a local busl-
ness establishment, and taken be-
fore United States Commissioner
Turnage for a hearing. He is 81
years old. The inspectors an
nounced they would ask his re-
moval to Milwaukee, Wis, where
he is under Indictment for fraudu-
lent use of the mails.
They announced that Schwartz
man, who has served time in Penn
sylvania and New York, is likewise
wanted in Aiken, S. C. There, it
is charged, he obtained a total Of
SIS, OO5 from Mrs. Josephine Eman-
uel, an 88-year-old widow, under
the pretext that he could remove
or cure her by radium treatments
of supposedly cancerous growths in
her eye and throat.
Postal authorities said Is arrests
had been made since the racket
came to light last June. Schwartz
man was indicted on November
20. Recently, inspectors said, he
has been giving a Baltimore ad-
dress. He was visiting relatives
in Washington at the time of his
arrest.

Income Tax Unit
Workers Are
Popular

When an organization goes to
the trouble of holding a special
meeting and changing its consti-
tuition and bylaws in order to keep
one of it's members eligible for
membership, the action would
seem to be fairly definite proof
that the party concerned is quite
popular.
Such action was taken, however,
on behalf of Mrs. Agnes w. Ames.
veteran Government employe,
when her married status allowed
the well-known Section 213" to
interfere with her career. When
she was forced to resign in 1888,
the Ladies' Income Tax Unit Bowl
ing Leagte changed its rules so
that she could continue activity
within its limits regardless of her
status.
BowIed Regularly
Mrs. Ames was employed from
1924 until 1888 as secretary to
Capt. D. S. Bliss, deputy commits
Sioner of the Internal Revenues
miscellaneous tax unit. During her
nine-year tenure she bowled regu-
larly with the league and made
hundreds of friends among col
leagues at Internal Revenue.
With the Economy Act, how
ever, came Government retrench-
ment and Mrs. Ames was re-
quested to resign when her agency
reduced personnel because her
husband was likewise in the Fed
eral service.
Because of her long experience
working for Uncle Sam, she quick
ly obtained a position with the
Works Progress Administration
in a secretarial capacity, where
she has been ever since. Her
friends, realizing they would miss
her during the weekly winter
bowling round-ups" they had
held so long, took necessary &C
ton to keep her within their circle.
A New Yorker
Originally resident Of Ithaca,
N. Y, where she received high
school education, Mrs. Ames en-
joys nursing and names such a
career as her second choice to
Government work. In addition to
bowling she also makes a hobby
