 Miss Murpry urged that those who have not sent in either the small sums for purchase of stamps or the stamps, do so at once. The tracers are not dunning notes, she said, but are reminders that the seals were sent and that they may have been overlooked during the holiday rush.

Department Store
 Sales Gain In 1887
Survey of Over 400 Dry Goods and Speciality Stores
 Shows Increase of 5.4 Per Cent

New York, Jan. 3-For the fourth consecutive year sales of department stores, dry goods, women's apparel and kindred stores in the United States showed a definitely forward movement, registering gain of 5.4% in 1887 over 1886.
 This conclusion was reached by the Controllers Congress of the National Retail Dry Goods associa- tion after a compilation of flash reports on sales of more than 400 department and women's speciality stores, and of over 1000 units of chains handling variety goods and lower priced dry goods and apparel. The total dollar volume indicated by the reports, and which formed the basis of comparison, was close to 11A billion dollars, and does not include the retail store sales of the leading mail order houses.
 This is the first information taken from actual reports of sales that

has been revealed to date covering the retail trade for the year just closed.
 On the basis of sales reported by the department stores and speciality stores alone, the increase over last year was STE.
 A gain reported for last year over the previous year brought sales of the reporting establishments as whole within about 143o of the all time high mark reached in the year 1929. In comparison with 1925, a so-called normal year in retailing sales during 1887 fell short only about 59o, according to this statis- tical survey, as revealed in the following table:

Index of Sales

A detailed analysis of transactions revealed decline of less than one half of 1F6 in transactions of all types. A gain of 69o was recorded for installment sales transactions, gain of 396 for regular charge trans actions and a loss of seven-tenths of 1qo in cash transactions. Thus
 in a general way, the overall sales increase of something above 59o was due to one or more of the following reasons: higher prices. a shift to higher quality merchandise on the part of the consumer, and purchases of larger number of units at one time, -.

ORIGIN OF ops AND Q's"

The most natural assumption in
investigating the origin of the ex-
preston, mind your p's and as"
would be that it originated in the
schoolroom, and that it was a warn
ing for pupils to look out how they
wrote these letters when they were
not capitalized, they being SO much
alike.
1t is said upon good authority,
however, that it did not originate in
a schoolroom but in a bar-room or
'tap-room' as the old London
saloons were called, and that the p
stood for pints and the q for quarts
in making charges for liquor sold to
patrons on credit. Not only the Gus
toner was told to mind his p's and
as" SO that the accounts could be
kept straight, but the n who made
the record of the account was told
to do the same, lest he charge a man
for only a pint when he had pur-
chased a quart, or for a quart when
he had bought a pint.

The convention heard reports of
various committees, including those
mapping plans to organize employees
of Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph. The Western Union COM
mittee proposed suspension of initia-
ton fees during the organization
drive. The Postal committee recon-
mended modifying the wage agree
ments recently negotiated to include
recognition of the AGA, the closed
shop and the checkoff. The COM
mittee also recommended that the
international executive board be in
vested with authority to call a strike,
if necessary, to enforce the unions
demands.
Because of the broad political inn
plications, the delegates voted to sub
nit to a referendum a resolution
previously adopted in support of the

to Red Lodge for the building will
be less than $4,000, officials say.
Features of the unusual construc-
ton is the use of native stone and
timber, quarried and logged locally
by WPA crews. Much of the build
ing's attractiveness is achieved by
use of over 1900 cubic feet of
broken-face granite and smooth
c%obblestones used to form the first
floor, garage and Jail walls. Peeled
logs lend rusticity to the main porch,
and contrast to the creme-colored
stucco exterior of the second floor.
In replacing the sagging old City
Hall, which not only antiquated, but
out-grown, WPA crews first de-
molished the building, salvaged
what they could from it and then
cleared the site. Since then, they
have mixed over 800 sacks of con-
crete in footings and walls; laid 2,731
square feet of concrete floors; used
$3.50 board feet of lumber; placed
242 square yards of ~stucco; 4,679
cubic feet of rock and c~obblestone
and sheet-rocked 9,278 feet of in
terror walls and ceilings, to produce
what is believed to be one of the
most unusual public buildings in
Montana.

AMERICA IN The SIN0-
JAPANESE WAR
Continued from Page 81


this war in China. The japanese
have taken no prisoners. If a mar
is wounded and can't get away he
is simply put to death. Miss After
bury, from Northern China, has tolo
us that in her district alone more
than three hundred villages were
completely destroyed, every house
burned to the ground and every
man, woman and child killed. The
Readers Digest published a descrip-
ton of the unspeakable fortunes in
flicted on the people of Marking
when that great city, the capital Of
China, was captured.
Because we know that these things
unfortunately are true, the China
Aid Council, which I represent, has
been organized to provide medical
aid to war victims. We are sup
porting a hospital located in caves
dug in the side of a hill. There the
patients r at least safe from air
raids, even if the ventilation is not
of the best. We have sent ambu-
lances to China to help in moving
the wounded out of the path of the
Japanese army, so that they will not
be killed. We are supporting
epidemic prevention service in the
refugee camps, because it is quite
possible that epidemics might get
started over there which would
spread to this country, just as the
flu epidemic came here from
abroad, unless we provide sanitation
and innoculation service.
China Aided America
We are often asked whether China
ever did anything for America when
we are appealing for aid to the
Chinese, Few of us realize that
China sent one and a half million
dollars to the American Red Cross
during the war to be spent in the
care of our dough boys and that
they contributed $25O,000 for relief
of our destitute people during the
Mississippi floods. A quarter of a
million dollars collected from the
coppers of poor Chinese as an ex-
preston of friendship and gratitude
toward America.
And we have sent American doc
tors and nurses to China to express
in a tangible living way Americas
feeling of sympathy for the Chinese
people in their hour of greatest need.
We want them to be strengthened
and encouraged by the knowledge
that they are not left alone but have
friends over here who care enough
to dig down into their pockets and
give. And we are doing all this not
in a spirit Of hatred toward the
people of Japan. We know that they
r also innocent victims, also suf-
fering at the hands of their fascist,
military dictatorship, and forced into
this war against their will. The
japanese Peace Society, composed
of Japanese in America, is affiliated
with u council and is helping us
to give aid to China. It is with
friendship for the people of Japan,
with sympathy and admiration for
the great Chinese people, and be-
cause we want to ensure the bless
ings of peace for America that we
strongly urge you to help stop this
war by giving aid to China and
neither purchasing japanese goods
nor allowing American war ma
terials to be sent to Japan.
