Thrilling experiences in the Li- byan desert, including their rescue from 8 rain and sand storm by a Bedouin chieftain, Fl Sheik of Mena, are being related by Mrs. William T. Leggett and her daugh- ter, Miss Ruth Margaret Leggett, of Windsor street, who have just returned from al, eight weeks pilgramage tour through Algiers. Egypt, Palestine, Gibraltar, and Italy.
 The rescue occurred when Mrs. Leggett and her daughter and other members of their par ty, which included some 200 members of the Amorc Risi- crucian Order, a nOn-sectar- ian philosophical fraternity, had left Cairo and Mena and the py- ramids of Egypt. The storm struck suddenly and but for timely as sistal,ce of Fl Sheik of Mena and his tribcsmen the party of Ameri- cans might have been seriously injured.
 As Mrs. Leggett herself described it, "The party was making its way out from Carlo and Mena and had just come over the brow of hill and arrived near the desert camp after stopping at the pyramids to have our pictures taken, when suddenly the skies seemed to burst asunder and terrific rail; and sand storm swept the desert. It struck with such force that many had to throw themselves face downward or c0v- CT their heads to keep from being blinded by the swirling sand.

An Adventure in Better HeoIth

FELT OLD AT 2S-Bartholo- mew "Bart" Johnson, Win- sted garage man, always thought that rheumatism was an old mans disease until he was laid low with pains in his legs and back. And then "Bart" knew this painful affliction is no segre- gator of old and young.
 COSTLY REMEDY-At first the garage man tried to laugh off the rheumatism but those pains did not have any sense of humor at all. And finally, 'sBart" went home and took to his bed. After a weeks rest, he would feel better and then return to work. But the pain would come back again and another rest would be needed. Rheumatism W a s making a part-time worker out of Johnson.
 FRIENDLY TIP-An acces- sorry salesman became inter- ested when after several trips to JOhnson's garage, he learned that Bart" was laid up with rheumatism. The salesman tipped off "Bart'' about B E R s THERAPY.
 YEAR WITHOUT TROUBLE -"After taking the capsules I felt better. In all I took three bottles, and during the last year l have not had a return of the trouble with rheumatism" This is J0hn- sons testimonial to BEERS THERAPY.

Retail display advertising for
this year through June S, is g..
582 ,688 lines or SO per cent ahead
of the comparable period of last

Age.
Totals for the Is major cities

against 431, 396,982 for the COM
parable period of 1886. At this

Due to the Monday following

Despite the adverse effects of

F ALL. BUSINESS
GROWTH SEEN

Continued reports Of good crop
prospects call attention to factors
indicating that the expected sum-
mer lull in business should be
succeeded by an active autumn,
according to an analysis by the
Brookmire Economic Service,
which points out that while bust
ness activity is now entering the
traditionally quiet period, expan-
sion is again seaSonally due in the
fall.
The fall outlook appears auspi-
cious this year for several reasons,
according to the survey. Not only
has the replacement demand for
autos and machinery remained
undiminished, and an entirely new
demand developed in air condi-
tioning, electrical appliances, and
other fast growing lines, but pros
poets favor larger farm crops
than in several years.
With greater volumes Of farm
products to be transported, han
died, and proceSsed-as well as
increased farm income - many
lines of business should be di-
rectly benefited, including rail
roads, mail order houses, and
farm implement companies. In
fact, Brookmire states, the invig-
Grating effects of these conditions
will tend to spread throughout the
nations business.

STOCK LEADERS
CLIMB POINT
AND MORE
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, June is Q.N.S).
The stock market staged q
moderate recovery today. Leaders
chalked up gains running to
more than q point.
Steels, rails and farm nipple
ments, three of the bear targets
on Monday, were in the van of
the recovery movement. Motors
were also moved higher.
Deere spurted 8 points and
International Harvester 2 in the
Farm Department. In Steels,
Bethlehem ran up more than a
point, while U. S. Steel converted
a loss Of over a point into a
gain Of Just under a point.
Atchison climbed a point in the
carrier section, while N. Y.
Central, Southern Pacific, Great
Northern preferred, and Balti-
more and Ohio added large frac-
tons to previous closing levels.
The list, generally easier at the
start, rallied within a few
minutes and continued upward
until light selling was met at
the end of the first hour.
Shortly afterward fresh buying
was noted and leaders moved
into new high ground for the
day at the noon hour.
AviationS, rubberS, amuse-
mentS. mail orders and tobaccos
were in fair demand.
A number of individual new
1887 lows were made in initial
transactions, including Auburn,
Packard, BendiX, Wilson,
Standard Oil of California.
American Can and American
Water Works.
Bonds were mixed and quiet.

BorometerS

What effect "fair trade" laws
and other legislative machinery
to regulate prices will have on re-
failing comes up for debate at
NRDGA's mid-year Chicago con-
vention newt week. Among other
topics are retailer relations with
manufacturer and means of sell
ing more appliances through de-
partment stores.
Principal speakers before the
merchandising division include @.
F. Walker, economist Of R. H.
Macy g. Co.; Lincoln Nassau, gen.
eral manager of the Big Store, Gin
cinnati; Charles B. Duncan, ST.,

Company, Washington, who will

nese Walls Between Departments"
Labor: Here and Abroad
"And we are far ahead of YOU
Americans in social reforms End
treatment of workers." quoth the
Englishman evermore. Folderol,
replies National Industrial Confer
ence Board in its latest analysis of
80 industries bullying with stats.
tical REPUTATION. 1t reveals:
Highest average workweek of
any United States industry-43.4
hours-compares with lowest aver
age workweek of 44.2 hours in
Britain. In not one English in
dustry is the average hourly wage
as high as in its American con-
temporary. q. British wage rates
in six Of the 80 are less than half
the United States scale; in 10
others they range from half to
two-thirds. In only two does John
Bull pay UP to three-fourth as
much as Uncle Sam.
Patient Recovered
Panied and suffering from an
operation by Surgeons Robinson
and Patman just a year ago,
American business has conva-
lesced swiftly, is in better shape
than when it was put under the
knife of the RIP act. This is the
Judgment of Paul Willis, Associ-
ated Grocery Manufacturers presi-
dent, whose industry has been doc
tored literally with Trade Com
mission serum since the law was
passed. What has been accom-
plished? -Four things, says Mr..
Willis:
i. Buyers are on more equal
footing since quantinty discounts
have been leveled off. 2. False
brokerage payments have been
eliminated. 8. Advertising allow
anceS are made on a more equi-
table basis. 4. Gimme" disease
has been checked; efficiency Of
operation, merchandising and ad-
vertising" is re-eStablished cri-
terion. Asserting more than three
fourths of the country's grocers
approve the law, Willis asks only
that Trade Commission rush dect-
sions on complaints to clarity it
further.
UptOne Outlook
Summer sunshine fired the
walls of consumer lethargy and
released a countrywide buying
spree that is sending retailer sales
10 to 20 per cent hngher than the
first fortnight of last June. Ac-
cording to trade reports, abrupt
rise in demand for seasonal ap-
parel and summer home furnish
ings in the East shot sales up
ward as much as Is per cent.
