NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Retail
trade was somewhat improved this
week over the preceding period, and
wholesalers reported a better volume
of recorders. particularly for fall
fashion merchandise, Dun g. Brad
street said today in the weekly re-
view of business.
Major lines OF retail merchandise
were fairly consistent in showing in
creases over last year, but the
amount of improvement varied
widely" the agency said. Grocery
sales were only fractionally ahead of
1888, while automobile totals were
as much as 80 to so per cent better.
Gains in other types of goods lay
between these two extremes"
The review estimated the increase
in volume for the country as whole
ranged from to IA per cent over
year ago.
Trade sentiment was generally
cheerful on the wholesale fronts,
the review said. Although purchas-
ing was still being done cautiously,
there was evidence of more fire.
quent departures from hand-to-
mouth buying policies in favor of
a two or three month covering Of
requirements"
The expectation of price advances
in some lines when Federal Wages
and Hours Act changes become ef-
fective in October was responsible
for some of the forward buying.

Reserve Board Finds
Factory Rate Up
Sharply in July
Production Index Hits
l02 Against SO in
Previous Month
BY the Associated Press.

by Inc Associated PresS
A sharp increase in July indus
trial activity is indicated In pre-
liminary reports to the Federal Re-
serve Board.
The boards index of industrial
production climbed to 102 per cent
Of the 1923-25 average In July, com.
pared with SO in June and 90 in
April and May.
The July upswing was accounted
for largely by an increase in steel
and iron production, which usually
falls at this season.
Automobile production declined
because of preparations for the new
models. Dealers stocks of new cars
dropped as retail sales continued In
excess Of production.
Factory employment, which usually
declines in July, was maintained
this year at about the June level.
Pay rolls showed a less than sea-
sonal decrease.
The board reported at the same
time that lendable excess reserves
OF member banks rose $50 900 900
during the week of August l6 to a
new high of about s4.59O,OO0 900.
Changes in production of nom
durable manufactures in July were
largely seasonal. Operations were
throttled down somewhat less than
usual at cotton textile mills and
meat-packing establishments. Sugar
ref1neries production rose from the
low level of June. Flour production
output continued substantial.
From early July to the middle of
August, prices of most farm products
and foods declined.
Commercial loans continued to in
crease at New York banks, but fell
at banks in 100 other leading cities.
Deposits at reporting banks re-
NAMED high and excess reserves OF
Federal Reserve member banks in
creased further to new high levels
iate In July and during the first
half of August.

makeup. Then remove it carefully
with tissues or a soft towel. Fol-
low this with an application of skin
lotion which is astringent in action
and has a tendency to close the
pores. Late hours, rich food, too
much gayety, are hard on the ap-

deserve any added help we can give
them.
Follow with good night cream,
rubbed well into the skin, and allow
it to remain on over night. It is
comforting to think that, while we
are resting, a good cream is soften

skin and helping t prevent the for

These precautions and corrective
measures will take only few min

| Henry Lewis was the fifth in defense
of his title, Nathan Mann, Harry
Thomas, Tommy Farr, Max Schmeling,
and John Henry Lewis. The only one
of this lot to go the distance Us
rounds is Tommy Farr, while the rest
hit the canvas in the early rounds. To
prove his willingness to give every
body that rates it a shot at his title,
Che will not draw the color line, either)
according to plans afoot he will fight
four times this year. He sits high on
his throne, in class to himself, truly
great and fighting champion.
TIGER FOX IN TITLE MEET
Tiger Jack Fox, Colored veteran
Seattle light heavyweight, will clash
with Mello Bettini, (white) in a Is
round bout for the light heavyweight
championship of the world Friday,
February 8, at Madison Square Gar
den. The title, formerly held by John
Henry Lewis, was vacated by him
after signing articles for the battle
with Champion Joe Louis. This will
be the second world title match fought
in the Madison Square Arena in the
past two weeks. Prior to cutting
ARRAY, which put him in the hospital
for few weeks, Fox was a heavy
favorite to stop Bettini in quick order,
but, since that occurance, there is
little doubt as to whether the hard
seeking Fox can attain his old form
in this setto. Although the state box
ing commission considers the bout a
championship affair, the MIA. still
recognizes John Henry Lewis as the
light heavyweight champ.
DOES GALENTO FEAR TOLES?
That "beefng." beer gulping heavy
weight from Newark, N. j., Tony
Galento, has no special desire to clash
with Roscoe Toles, rising Colored
heavyweight from Detroit, in the
squared arena. Evidently, bull-dozing
Tony and his manager, Joe Jacobs,
are aware of Roscoe's recent stride up
the heavyweight ladder, where he will
rate match with Joe Louis, if he con-
tinues to enjov victories in his ring
encounters. Promoter Mike Jacobs
recently offered Galento the oppor-
tunity to meet the hard-punching Col
ored lad from the Motor City, but
Galento and his manager were reluct-
ant to sign and seal promoter Jacobs
idea. What's the old saying ga
barking dog will never bits" If Gal
ento would meet more formidable OBJ
ponents like Toles, instead of knocking
over a lot of washed up buns. he
would soon meet his match before
Champion Joe Louis took time out to
ruin him. His recent contest in New
ark with Jorge Brescia, in which the
latter was kayoed, has left an awful
odor
COCOA KID LOSES TITLE
In closely fought match at the
Casino in Fall River, last Thursday
night, frankie Britt (white) won a
split decision, and the New England
welterweight boxing championship
from Louis Kid Cocoa, of New Haven.
Some of the sport scribes felt that
Cocia Kid had at least earned draw
