Sets Basic Policy.
Policies of the federation were
pinned to Cooperation" by Mr..
KRISTEN, who is vice president Of
William Filene Sons Co., depart
ment store. At the closing session
yesterday at the Mayflower he sum-
married. in a statement what, he
said, seemed to him to be "the
basic policies on which retailers can
agree and which may be used in
guiding the activities of the Ameri-
can Retail Federation"
Il hope" he declared. "that may
be giving expression to the views
of a large number of retail mer-
chants" He explained that under
the bylaws Of the organization for
NAL resolutions were not presented,
nor was there a formal vote at the
close. All delegates rose, however,
as the forum came to an end and
roundly applauded their leader.
Explaining that the federation was
organized only a little more than
four years ago, Mr.. KRISTEN ex-
planned its purpose was to bring
greater prosperity to retailing" He
added that retailing will prosper
as the country is prosperous.
The 10 general principles of what
the retail industry should do were
set forth as follows:
/. Recognize its general response
bility for close, earnest and intelli-
gent cooperation with Federal,
State and local Governments in
striving for solution Of the major
social and economic problems of the
present day-recognize a special re-
sponsibility to help in increasing the
real income of the masses of the
people by doing everything possible
to reduce distributive costs.
Explicit Fiscal Policy Asked.
2. Recognize its concern with the
standard Of living Of the population

fiscal policy with this reality in
mind
3. Support and cooperate with
the current movement for q thor
ough-going investigation which will
correlate Federal, State and local
taxation, and which will have the
effect of encouraging private invest
ment and increasing purchasing
power.
4. Recognize the Governments
responsibility to provide for social
security both on humanitarian and
economic grounds-urge early atten-
ton to a thorough revision of the
social security program.
5. Acknowledge the right of con-
sumers to know what they are buy
ing, and assume responsibility to
make possible proper representa-
tions concerning merchandise sold
in order to increase purchasing con-
f1dence and purchasing skill as well
as purchasing power.
8. Recognize the right and nee
essity for equal opportunity for COM
petition within its own industry as
we'll as within other industries-and
be opposed to monopolistic and re-
strictive practices which tend to
retard the flow of goods between
producer and consumer.
Consumer CO-Operatives Legitimate.'
7. Recognize the growth of con-
sumer co-operatives as legitimate
form OF retail distribution-urge
that Governments refrain from sub
sides, or any other special priv
ileges not available to all retailers.
g. Oppose all legislative and ad-
ministrative barriers between States
which tend to impede the flow of
goods in interstate commerce-em-
phaSize the benefits to all the States
which can be obtained from the fact
that we are single Nation.
g. Recognize the social and eco
nomic situation which confronts the
farmers of the Nation-of1er to Fed

surpluses within the existing eco

THIS BARBER SHOP HAS EvERYTHING-
 EXCEPT CUSTOMERS

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 23.-Nextl
 Step right up and climb into the red plush chair of the Gay Nineties" barber shop at the Mil waukee public museum-complete with mustache combs and stack of pink Police Gazettes.
 Gaze at surroundings that en- thralled the youth of the late 18th century as he shifted pomades and rubbed his potential beard.
 This exhibit has been a labor of love for Towne L. Miller, museum historian, and you'd be surprised how much time he spent in a quest for the last essential item-a shiny, 13-inch brass cuspidor.
 John Olmstead of Orfordville (about 70 miles southwest of Mil waukee), finally produced a GUS pidor of the proper vintage in an- swer to a plea broadcast by His torian Miller.
 Now this receptacle takes it's place beside the old straight backed barber chair and below the wall case containing score of shaving mugs, some decorated by the old transfer picture" process, some hand painted, and all bear ing names or initials of former owners
 The striped pole outside, tn e old-fashioned coal-burning stove and 18th century painting are larger objects of interest.
 Then there are the fancy stand bottles7--for toilet water and ton ics-lining shelf below a mirror There are ancient perfume bottles, antiquated razors and scissors, a pewter talcum powder shaker, ana one bottle-nearly fuli--of 18th century hair tonic.
 Other centers of attraction are hair-duster, which looks some what like a paint brush, an dainty mustache combs which once were used to remove cinders and such from the 1890 dandy's hirsute adornments.

ROME, Sept. 23.-Premier Mus solini announced today that Italy will maintain it's neutrality for the time being. However, he warned that the policy might be changed without notice.
 At the same time, Il Duce re- newed the Fascist argument that with Poland crushed, Great Britain and France had no reason to con tinue their war with Germany.
 Mussolini made his statement of policy in a speech to a group of Fascist leaders from Bulgaria.
 Said Il Duce; Our policy was fixed in the declaration made Sep tember 1. and there is no reason to change it."
 Il Duee referred to a statement issued by the Fascist Council on the day Germany invaded Poland de- claring Italy's neutrality.
 Continuing Mussolini said: This policy corresponds to our national interests, to our agreements and our political pacts. as well as to the desire of the German people; at least to localize the conflict

Schools Insist, and Kids Object StrenuousIy,
 Says Phillips

l
 School officials here are turn ing children out of classes these days and insisting they go home early-and the pupils are object 1 ing.
 That, as any rate, is the w3J the story is told by Superintendent of Schools A. B. Phillips.
 Time marches on,' he says Yesterday people noticed num- Der of children On the streets be- fore the dismissal of school. It ere ated quite a little concern. Many were the questions asked The of flee phone of MT Phillips and MT. Dunham were constantly busy to see what the trouble was. Thern was no trouble. The school admin istrators were trying an experi- ment and will continue it for a few days to see how, it works. If it is successful it will be con tinued the rest of the year but if they deem it not successful they will discontinue the practice.
 Rocm Space Needed
 "The reason for the students down town was this: The High School is crowded and class room space was needed In the study hall during the last two periods of the day were 51 students. These were sent home or rather just ex- cused from school at 1.45 for the rest of the day and the study hall was then used for class room in- structional purposes. The students, most of them, did not like the idea. They wanted to stay in school and offered many excuses The first day it was lark after they actually did get out of the building. They went to town and put on the appearance of sneak day or a school picnic. But in a few days they will begin to real ize that this hour is for study pur- poses and not for running around.
 If the experiment does not work they will be called back to school and some other method sought to alleviate the acute room shortage in the high school building. Every effort has been made to utilize class room space but it is almost impossible to crowd 280 pupils into class rooms intended for ITO.
 "The probable reason for the trouble now is that last June only 30 seniors graduated from high school whit the eighth grade grad uated 88, most of whom are en- rolled as freshmen in the Juneau High School. Next year the prob lem will be the same. About 40 are to be graduated next June but about 90 will come from the pres ent eighth grade
 Every available bit of room space has been completely util- ized in both the grade and high school buildings"
