Arrested in Bed
With the wounding of the
Morrises, Jones is alleged to have
gone in search of his wife, who
was hiding in her home. Failing
to find her, he went to bed and
was there when he was arrested
an hour later.
Mrs. Jones summoned aid for
the MorriSes. but Mrs. Morris was
dead when a physician reached
the scene.
The two families had been
friends for about five years, it
was said, and the Morrises had
come here last night to spend the

Jones.
In his cell in the Calvert Coun-
ty Jail here today, Jones wept

when is the strike going to

Business Feels Pinch

barber and the little business men
generally are weary of it all. In
the towns most directly hit by
the strike they are feeling the
pinch"

of National Guard troops, called
out to preserve law and order. with
resignation. But it was easy to
see they didn't like it.

of John L. Lewis and his c. I. O.,
and of Tom Girdler, and they de-
bate pro and con who is going to
come out on top. But the upper

is that somehow, some way the
strike will be speedily settled.

AUT0PRODUCT|ON
EXPECTED TO DROP
Ford Shutdown and Some
SIackening in Demand
Due This Month.
y the Associated press

DETROIT, July 2-The motor ear
industry was almost wholly free Of
strike troubles last week and the effect
was an immediate increase in produc.
ton. In the preceding two weeks there
were numerous Interruptions to pro-
duction and assemblies dropped of.
Lacking any further serious inter-
ruptlon TO output, the industry in
July probably will turn out 43o 600
cars and trucks. In the month lust
ended the volume of assemblies was
approximately half a million units,
but left the factory far behind the
sales room.
tapering of in demand is expected
to appear shortly. however, and it is
on this basis that production man
ayers place q slightly lower volume
estimate for the first month Of the
second half of the year. There is also
the fact that Ford is expected to be
out OF production for three weeks
starting probably on July is.
Production possibilities continue to
occupy the thoughts of motor car
makers. Such authorities as William
S. knudsen, General Motors presi-
dent, say that in the face OF current
conditions in the industry, manufac-
turers cannot appraise demand three
months ahead or production even as
lar ahead as next month.
Nevertheless, barring some serious
interruption that might come out of
twlce-postponed negotiations between
General Motors and the United Auto
mobile Workers OF America over new
demands to be made by the union, and
the unionization drive against the
Ford Motor Co, the distribution divi-
sion claims there is retail need war
rantlng production schedules pointed
at 100000 units for this year. With
labor peace, say these same authorities
a similar volume might be forecast
for 1898.

STAGED
BY RETAIL SALES
Volume Climbs 10 to 20 Per
Cent Above Similar
Week Last Year.
~ the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. July 2.-Retail distribu-
ton was the only branch of industry
to make advances of any consequence
this week, Dun A Bradstreet reported
today in the weekly review OF business.
Stimulated by Fourth Of July and
vacation necessities, sales for the coun-
try as a whole were to 6 per cent
above the preceding week and 10 to 20
per cent above the 1895 comparative.
Industrial divisions felt the effect
OF the holiday schedule. but the usual
Summer let-down has failed to appear
thus far" the agency said. I'm whole
sale markets the pace was steadier, re-
orders contributing the bulk OF VOL
ume."
Summer resorts were favored by the
influx OF tourists and sales increases
for New England were 10 to 20 per
cent above 1896, the review stated. In
creases In other areas were: East. 10
to rs per cent; Middle West, is to IS ;
Southwest, II to ~, and Pacific Coast,
. to 10.
Plans for the extended July 4 week
end holiday brought increased buying
in most branches OF retail trade, the
review continued, and to these were
added requirements ooincident to clos
ing schools and beginning the vacation
period. Cash from the marketing Of
early crops gave suf1icient stimulation
to consumer buying in many districts
to overcome the handicaps OF unsettled
weather. With the subsistence OF the
strike wave. the covering OF deferred
needs also hlped to lift retail sales.
Commenting on industrial activity
the report added:
Manufacturer OF neither farm
equipment nor tractors planned to ef-
feet the customary curtailment this
Summer, due to the slow reduction Of
backlogs Little variance from the
June rate was indicated for automobile
assemblies during the current month,
and the uptrend in retail demand may
leave many factories with but brief
pause for the change over to produc-
ton on 1898 models"

We use the word peanut" as a derisive

years America has jestinely referred to

pea-like kernels from nuts of Spanish
origin.
The nut itself remains small, Of
course, despite the development, her

believe it or not, there has been an
increase in consumption of crude pea

Becomes Big Business.
Grinding of peanut oil and its utili-
1ation in compounds and vegetable
shortcomings has become a stable bus
iness in short space of time Re-
ports by the Bureau Of Agricultural
Economics indicate consumption Of
l34 900 900 pounds Of crude peanut oil
in the 1856 season-the peanut
season" runs from October to the
following September-which was more
than 10 times greater than in the
1884 season.
There are two main reasons for the
rise Of the peanut in the world of
oils and fats The first has to do with
the return OF measure OF prosperity,
something more than 4 synonym of
better times The ACREAGE American
family uses about so pounds of fats
year, it is figured, and the better
the times the higher the average
rises
the reason that fats-particularly In
the form OF dairy hutter--are an ex-
pensive item in the food budget Taken
together, butter and other fats, eggs
and meat make the biggest dent IN
the family pocketbook, 80 far as sub
sistence items 60.
Other Supplies Scarce.
This increasing demand for edible
fats has impinged upon a situation Of
rather scant domestic supplies Of cot
tonseed Gil and lard, and aside from
butter, those two are the most i'm
portant of the edible fats and oils
consumed in the United States. That
Is why peanut oil has stepped in to
all the gap.
Peanut oil is used as q salad oil
and as a cooking oil. and, by 4 process
invented two or three years ago, two
oils alonecottonseed oil and peanut
oil-are blended to make an oleomar-
