up their impression of the work done. And so to many of us I sup pose the slogan "A man may be down, but he's never out,' typifies the spirit and service of the Salva- tion Army, and we think of the work done by this organization in terms of its past service and it's continuing service to those most un- fortunate individuals in our society, those who are truly down and out. Now, although this is by no means all of their service, each one of us, by supporting the grand work which the Salvation Army does in this direction can in some measure aid in extending helping hand to the unfortunate. The complexity of our present modern social pattern does not make it possible for many of US to be a good Samaritan directly, but indirectly we can do so through helping the Salvation Army in its work.
 Extensive Work
 While the work which the Army does for the unfortunate is ex- tensive and important, it is by no means all, or the chief part, of their service. AS a social institution, they carry on many activities for youth homes, hospitals, fresh air camps, interest groups in the city, musical organizations, Scout Troops, and others. For example, just recently the local Salvation Army corps, under Adjutant Wiherg, sponsored and organized our newest Boy Scout Troop in the city, Troop 32, which with the help of its fine Scout master and committee for the Sal- vation Army promises to develop into a splendid Scout Troop.
 If it were possible for every citi- zen to visit the local corps head quarters and rooms on Cherry street as I have had the pleasure of doing, I am certain you would be im- pressed by the scope of the work done, and the fine mixture of heart and head which directs Salvation Army activities, and realize that here is a vital social institution,

Morgenthau Cheered
By Strong Demand
For New Bonds
Secretary Says Huge
Subscriptions Show
Market Recovery
BY the Associated Press.

Secretary Morgenthau announced
today that American investors asked
for more than $6,0OO000,000 worth
Of Government bonds Tuesday when
the Treasury offered S500,000 900
worth for sale.
The Treasury head said that the

Gated the financing was entirely
successful" and meant that the
bond market, apparently, had recov-
cred from the unsettling effects of
the European war.
In September the war caused a
sharp but temporary decline in the
market price of Government bonds,
which caused the Treasury to post
pone until this week financing which
ordinarily would have been done on
September 15
Allowed Small Part.
Because the bond subscriptions
were several times the amount the
Treasury wanted to sell, the sub
scrlbers, for the most part, will be
allowed to buy only a small pro-
portion of what they asked for.
However, Morgenthau added that
bids totaling between $40 1000, 900 and
S25 900, 900 were received from small
investors under plan promising
them all the bonds they asked for.
The preferential plan for small in
Vestors was limited to subscriptions
under $4,000 per person if such
subscribers agreed not to take
possession Of their bonds for go days.
This provision was designed to pre-
vent bond spectators from getting
preferential allotments since it is
unlikely that spectators would be
willing to wait go days before having
the right to resell the bonds.
Final figures on the subscriptions
have not been received. however,
and until the figures are complete
the pro rata allotment to bidders
outside of the preferred small in
vestors will not be announced.
Interest Rate Low.
The bonds sold Tuesday were 2
per cent bonds maturing in 9 to II
years, and Moreenthau said the in
terest rate was the lowest ever
offered for comparable security
He said further that the bond mar

market since the issue was an

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Nov. 30-Christmas
business for variety chain stores IN
1889 should be the best in the in
dustrys history, according to Poor's
industry and investment surveys.
Sales should continue upward for
some time, but the rate of improve
ment in earnings will tend to
slacken under the pressure of rising
costs.
The improvement in variety
chain sales volume which began
late in 1888 continued during the
first 10 months of this year." states
the analysis. Business transacted
by eight leading merchandisers to-
tailed s6l4,345,0 900 for that period.
This was a gain of 5.4 per cent over
sales reported for the January-Oc-
tober period of 1888 and represented
a new volume peak, exceeding the
1887 record by nearly l per cent. 1t
is not likely, however, that the rate
of improvement for the fourth quar-
ter will be so great as that recorded
earlier this year, for the year-to-
year comparison will be made with
1888 months in which rapid prog
ress was already under way.
Pay Roll Gains Cited.
Present indications point to ex-
pansion in employment and pay rolls
throughout the country. The re-
sultant improvement in purchasing
power should directly benefit variety
stores. Largest sales gains are indi-
Gated for organizations with a good
percentage of their stores concen-
trated in highly industrialized areas.
Chains having stores located more
widely are less favorably situated,
for many stores in such systems are
located in areas where the upswing
in economic conditions will not be
significant. This will tend to neu-
tralize resi- Its obtained by more
favorably situated stores.
Somewhat lower average mer-
chandise costs than prevailed in

will more than offset higher wage
and tax costs this year. However,
the trend of commodity prices ap-
pears likely to be upward during the
coming year, spurred by the pros
poets Of a long war in Europe Con-
sequently, rise in merchandise
costs must be expected. Naturally,
retail prices will be advanced, but
competitive pressure will doubtless
result in the usual lag before ad-
justments are made. Despite the
outlook for somewhat narrower
profit margins. aggregate earning
power should expand at least mod.
erately. Further sales gains will, to
a large extent, offset any shrinkage

Woolworth Affected.
while the outlook favors at least
moderately higher income during the

chandisers, those with large foreign
interests are not so favorably situ-
