Retail Trade AVERAGES
1to4Per Cent Ahead
OF 1898 Week
Log in Eastern Area
Continues to Check
National Rise
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Despite an
uneven and spotty showing. the past
weeks retail trade averaged gains
of l to per cent over the like period
last year, said Dun g. Bradstreet
today in their weekly business re-
view.
A lag in the Eastern region con-
tinued to pull down the sales average
for the country, with some metro
politan centers recording decreases
Of as much as IL per cent
Business in general, asserted the
review, showed a tendency to fatten
out after the sharp upswing in the
previous week
Intensive advertising helped to
maintain consumer interest in home
furnishings and appliances, but re-
tailers reported frequently that Feb
ruary sales of furniture and house.
hold goods as whole were not up
to expectations, despite the attrac-
tive prices offered
Extremes in temperature during
the week made the showing of ap-
parel departments particularly
spotty; Saturday was a good day for
these lines in most cities, but sales
for the full week were somewhat
lower than in the preceding period. "
In wholesale markets, continued
the review, house furnishings, ap-
parel and electrical appliances COM
prised the bulk of orders placed
during the week. AS fill-in orders
increased somewhat trade succeeded
in maintaining an to IA per cent
margin of gain over the dull period
a year ago despite the lack of for
ward purchasing.
Wholesalers were encouraged by
the volume of orders sent in by road
statesmen calling for shipment within
30-60 days; the emphasis on early
delivery was considered sign Of low
inventories In the hands of country
merchants"

Dies in England
Member Of Family
Prominent in EurIy
Colonial History

Lord Albert Kirby Fairfax, q ma
tive Of Prince Georges County, Nd,
who became a British citizen and
assumed the title of his ancestors as
18th Baron Of Cameron, died at his
home in Essex, near London, yester-
day after long illness, the Asso-
ciated Press reported. He was SO
years old.
Lord Fairfax was born on the fam
lily estate, Northampton, near Land
over, Md. His father was DR.. John
Contee Fairfax, who never accepted
station as peer.
When Dr. Fairfax died in 1900, his
son was employed by a New York

international Banking Corp, of Lon
don, the latter moved to England,
where he was accepted Immediately
as Lord Fairfax, although still an
American citizen.
| Title Confirmed.
After becoming a British subject
in 1906 Lord Fairfax decided to ap-
ply for official recognition of his
title, and his rights were confirmed
within two years by the House of
Lords Committee on Privileges. He
was elected as a representative peer
for Scotland in 1917.
Lord Fairfax headed his own Lon
don banking firm, Fairfax & Co., and
served for many years as chairman
of the board Of Amalgamated Cot
ton Mills Trust, Ltd.
The Fairfax family figured prom
inently in American Colonial his
tory. An earlier Lord Fairfax found
place in pre-Revolutionary annals
as the patron of George Washing
ton. Six generations have dwelt
in the Tidewater country of Mary
land and Virginia
The twelfth Lord Fairfax returned
to the United States only once after
establishing himself in the Essex
countryside on the estate at Thorpe
lie Soken. Together with Lady Fair
fax and their two sons he visited
relatives in Maryland two summers
ago. He found new residence re-
placing the venerable manor house
at Northampton which was de-
stroyed by fire in 1909.
Lady Fairfax Survives.
Lady Fairfax, who survives, was
Miss Maud Wishart McKelvie, only
daughter of James McKtlvie,
wealthy Scottish coal operator. She
married the nobleman in the Church
of st. James, London, in 1922. The
sons are Thomas Bryan McKelvie
Fairfax, 16, who succeeds to the
title, and John Peregrine Wishart
Fairfax, IA.
Lord Fairfax also leaves two sis
tiers, Mrs. Clarence M. Roberts of
Landover, Md, and Mrs. Tunstall
Smith of Baltimore.
A brother, Charles Edmund Fair
fax, died last April at Northamp-
ton, where he had been living In re-
tirement.
Funeral arrangements for Lord
Fairfax have not been completed
but the twelfth Baron of Cameron
will be laid to rest in England in
a crypt beside his British ancestors.

ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
By
Elmo Scott Watson
The old Pioneer

A CENTURY ago newspapers in
various parts Of the country fire.
quently printed contributions signed
''By an Old Pioneer" The man who
thus signed himself was one of the
most interesting characters in the
history OF the West-John Mason
Peck, preacher. writer, teacher and
editor.
A Yankee by birth, Peck arrived
in st. Louis in 1917 as a young and
jealous preacher sent out by the
Baptist church to Missouri territory.
Except for two or three years, the
remaining four decades Of his life
were spent in travelling thousands Of
miles on horseback, preaching,
exhorting, establishing schools,
churches and Bible societies, max
ing friends and giving counsel to
many a settler far removed from
civilization.
Also during this time he was
making an even greater contribu-
ton to posterity. He was recording
his observations and impressions of
the people and the country through
which he Travelled. He interviewed
many frontier notables, among
them the venerable Daniel Boone
and later wrote biography of the
great Kentucky pioneer.
BY the time of Peck's death in
1857 his journals numbered some SO
manuscript volumes which he willed
to library. At the beginning Of
the Civil war. the librarian went
away to fight and Peck's material
was stored temporarily. When the
library was moved to new quarters
at the end of the war it was left
behind and eventually was acquired
by a paper mill and turned into
cardboard. Thus much priceless his
torical information was lost.
But despite this loss, Peck's life
had not been lived in vain. His
writings, published in the newspa-
pers, had a great deal to do with
bringing settlers into Illinois and
Missouri and in establishing those
two commonwealths.

Cheese Is Not Constipafing

The mistaken idea that cheese
is cOnstipating doubtless arose
from poor menu planning. Cheese
is a highly concentrated food. 1t
enjoys the distinction of being the
most concentrated source of pro-
tein known. Because Of this fact,
menus containing cheese should
be balanced by the inclusion of
foods containing bulk or cellulose,
such as fruits, vegetables or whole
grain breads. When these foods
are omitted, it is not the pres
ence of cheese, but the absence
Of bulk that Is responsible for the
meal being insufficiently laxative.
Homemakers who have the in
terests of their families at heart
will Danish the notion that cheese
is either constipating or difficult
to digest when properly used.
They will give this splendid food
regular place in their menus
and thereby provide valuable
