Express Shipments
Score Sharp Gains
in This Territory
Rise Of Buying Power
In Capital Reflected
In Latest Upswings
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

In the belief that a rise in ex-
press shipments reflects improved
public buying power, c. w. Turner,
superintendent of Railway Express
Agency, announced today that
Washington's business showed gains
in June of 16.7 per cent and in May
OF 20.3 per cent. Shipments of local
concerns, stores and residents in
June were IL per cent ahead of the
average increase for the country as
whole, over the like 1888 period.
Mr.. Turner attributes this upward
trend to increased buying orders
placed by retail concerns here for
quick replacement of depleted lines
and enlargement of variety of goods
offered in their stores. Washington
retailers are quick to take advan-
tage of the latest modes in style
merchandise and new models Of
household furnishings and labor
saving devices for the home which
are brought out each season, he
asserted.
The recent revision of express
rates, which brought reduction in
express charges on packages of 81
pounds or under for all distances
and on shipments of so pounds or
less for shorter distances. has. in
Mr.. Turner's opinion, contributed to
the excellent June and May showing
by stimulating additional package
traffic. AT the same time there has
been no falling but an increase in
the volume of heavier shipments
carried by the Express Agency, Mr..
Turner said.

Claims Paul Revere Had
 South Rival |,

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, June 19.- Dr. Paul E. Wald says research con- vinces him the Revolutionary War ride of Jack Jouett, largely over looked by writers of history, .eclipses that of Paul Revere
 Jouett, son of a Virginia inn keeper, dashed 40 miles to Monti- cello one night in 1780 to warn Thomas Jefferson that "the British are coming"
 Certainly Jack Jouetts ride eclipses that of Paul Revere in diff i ficulty and in importance" says pr. Walp, University of Tennessee pro- lessor. Had Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence been captured by the British at that crucial time when fortunes of war were going against the Americans it would have been most humiliating and would have resulted in great damage to the morale of the patriots"
 Jouett encountered British sol diers at a tavern in Louisa County Va. He doused his head and clothes in whisky and feigned drunken ness until the soldiers left Then he set out through the wilderness first to warn Jefferson and then on tc Charlottesville to spread the warn | ing to the Virginia Legislature.

 March 13-He tripped me and tried to kick me through a window
 March 26-He knocked me into the bathtub.
 June 12-He chased me with a hammer
 september 18-I went to the hos pital for an appendicitis operation He said he would not pay the bill.
 November 6-I left the hospital and did not return to him"

 MI. D00NERAK
Vdtationine Forester Due Tomorrow on Way 10
 Arctic Village

Headed back into the Arctic to have another crack at climbing Mount Doonerak which he believes to be the highest mountain in North America, above the Arctic Circle, Bob Marshall is due here tomorrow to take plane for Fairbanks and Wiseman.
 Marshall, Chief of Rereation and Lands for the U. s. Forest Service, is best known as author of the book Arctic Village sociological study of Eskimo life, which was a best-seller a few years ago. Wise- man is the Arctic Village" of the book.
 Last year after an official field trip in Alaska was completed, Mar shall returned to Wiseman on va cation and attempted to scale Doon- erak highest peak in the Endicott Mountains of the Brooks Range. Due to bad weather and loss of supplies and equipment when his boat capsized in river accident, Marshall failed to reach the top of Doonerak, which is believed to be somewhere between 10000 and l2,00o feet high.
 This year he is coming back, again on vacation, to have another try. He will be in the Territory about a month.
 Before becoming attached to the Forest Service, Marshall was with the Department of the Interior as Chief Forester for the Office of Indian Affairs.
