Textile Mills Rush
Output 10 Meet
Huge Demand
Every Available Loom
Is Reported Pressed
Into Service
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-The Ma
tons textile mills are putting on
the heat" at every disable loom to
raise production to the point where
heavy Government and civilian de-
mands for fabrics of all sorts can
continue to be handled with dis
patch, Worth Street reported today.
Textile district observers said the
huge Government defense program
and heavy civilian buying had re-
suited in withdrawal of some wooden
piece goods producers from the
market. In the cotton textile field
mill operators were bucking skilled
labor shortages at many points by
training new hands.
Three shifts per day, putting pro-
duction on a 24-hour basis, have
been adopted at many textile plants
and are being installed at others as
fast as personnel can be assembled.
Amy ouUuS NCCuCu.
If orders continue at their pres
ent rate, operations in the wooden
field at present levels may continue
throughout l94l, some merchants
think.
The Governments big demand is
for goods for the Army-woolen
blankets, uniforms, coats and socks,
and, in the cotton goods sector. ma
terials are. being sought for sheets,
shirts, underwear and summer socks.
With the national income this year
expected to approach STE, 900 900, 0OO
the biggest since 1929, sharply in
creased civilian demand next year
Tor apparel is anticipated. and sup
plies are being sought accordingly.
A large number of wooden goods
manufacturers, with the spring and
summer output sold up, are reported
virtually out of the market, textile
observers say. Most other plants, it
is added, find themselves in a posi-
ton where it is possible to choose
contracts submitted and deliveries
before April, 194l, are practically
impossible.
Additional Orders Due.
More Army buying is anticipated
next spring at the time when the
WOODEN mills will be busiest turning
out civilian fabrics. With this in
view, takers of woolens are said to
be placing large commitments for
next fall.
WOODEN goods prices are reported
strongly upward, with buyers paying
full asking prices.
The broad demand for cotton tex
tiles is indicated in the number of
plants that have adopted the "a
hour operations basis. Backlogs of
untitled orders are estimated in the
nelghborhood of to 10 weeks pro-
duction at present operating rates.
Skilled labor is the crying need at
many points.

British government bonds wavered
for a time after starting firmness,

Retail Trade Scars
3 10 10 Per Cent
Above Year Ago
Cold Weather Lifts
Store Volumes to
New 1910 Peak
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Stimu-
lated by cold weather demand for
heavy apparel and the start of the
Christmas shopping season, buying
at retail stores this week hit top 1910
rates, and dollar volume averaged
8 to 10 per cent above a year ago
for the country as whole, Dun &
Bradstreet reported today.
At some Midwestern cities bust
ness averaged as much as 80 per
cent above last year, with the aver
age IL to l6 per cent. In the South
the year-to-year advance was 8 to
IA per cent. but in the Southwest
snow and ice storms reduced the
margin of gain to 5 to 10 per cent
New England sales topped the like
week last year by 6 to 8 per cent
the East by 8 to II per cent, North
west 4 to 8 per cent and Pacific
Coast to per cent.
Retailers had one of the best
weeks this year as shoppers began
their seasonal Christmas buying in
earnest" the credit agency said
Stores were particularly gratified
with the spread of demand and with
the continued interest in better
grade merchandise.
Purchasing was said to be very
general, including not only gift
items. but also all types of seasonal
goods and the more expensive home
furnishings.
Gift buying started off with a
rush in toys. children's apparel, &C
cessories and cosmetics. Despite the
conspiciously good showing in these
lines, holiday sales were not yet the
major factor in store volume, how
ever. Turnover in seasonal ready
to-wear and other winter require
ments was especially brisk as
weather conditions again spurred the
covering of requirements. Mems
wear stores noted a strong demand
for furnishings and some depart
ment stores reported that clearances
of women's apparel had been post
poned because of the good sales al

Wool Market Continues
Quiet in All Branches
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON, Nov. 29.-The Com
mercial Bulletin will say tomorrow
The wool market and all its
branches has been quiet this week,
so far as new business is concerned.
The announcement of further Gov
eminent orders for delivery through
this fiscal year has had only a
momentary influence on the mar
ket. Mills evidently have enough
wool to make them comfortable
with respect to their current con-
tracts and are not inclined to buy
very heavily at the moment, while
civilian orders furnish little spur
to buying.
aside from further sales of Mon
tevideo woods of the finer types
at prices about equal to those OF
a week ago, there has been little
business in wool and prices gener-
ally are firm. Wastes and noils
have been relatively more active
than wool
Foreign markets generally are
slower and hardly changed.
"Mohair is rather quiet and
steady"

fixed the export quota for the first
quarter of 1941 at 100 per cent,
meaning an increase of about 1890

This was regarded in stock ex-

The quota discussion had been

lie circles at top and masks made like
those for the side lights.
Doorway-Just to put everyone
in high spirits, hang rows of hangling
bells in all doorWays, low enough SO
that no one can pass without setting
them ringing merrily. A shiny black
cardboard silhouette of a top hat and
cane may complete the decoration.
Party Table-Instead of a table
cloth, cover the table with wide bands
of crepe paper. Stitch the twenty inch
width of different colDrs togethers so
that the bands of color go across the
table and hang nearly to the floor.
Decorate with circles of metallic paper
such as was used for the hall decorat-
ion.
Centerpiece, New Years Clock :
Cover ends of a round hat box with
white mat stock and the side with met
allie paper. Draw numerals and hands
points TO twelve o'clock with India ink.
Make two small masks similar to those
made for the side lights decorations
(three inch circles). Fasten them as if
playing hide and seek with one another
to opposite sides of the clock. The girl
has crepe paper hair bow and the BOY
a bow tie. Place the clock on a large
mat covered with gold paper. When
the table is set, stand long New Years
horns in rows on either side of the
clock centerpiece and arrange a semi
circle of monkey hat favors in front of
the c~enterpiece between the horns. You
can buy these silly little hats ready
made with e~lastics attached Or you
may make them of crepe paper and
cardboard. Trim them in any way you
like the funnier the better.

they are still in demand every

although more than thirty-fve
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only

of every woman.

The Seventeen Year Locust
BY LOUIS M. DORSCH, STAFF WRITER, tWaterbury Democrats Washington Service Bureau)

beneath the wings. It is the love song of the males and announces the transformation of the nymphs to winged adults.
 Every Year a Locust Year.
 The small insects come from nymphal shells milky white, with red eyes, and their bodies soon harden and turn black. The legs and the veins on each of the four. nearly transparent wings are bright orange. Deeper augmentation near the outer end of the front wing produces 8 distinct "W." which is said to be harbringer of war. This belief is disproved by the fact that the marking appears on the wings of all seventeen-year cicadas, and furthermore, every year is a locust year" in some part of the country. Adult cicadas are about one and one-half inches long. The mute fe- males are said to damage vegeta- ton by sitting trees, shrubs and plants when they deposit their eggs. The damage results in general pruning which is not specially in- furious to large forest trees, but may harm fruit trees and is sometimes disastrous to young trees and nurs- cry stock. Male adult cicadas are very short-lived and take no food.
 After about 8 month above ground the cicadas of Brood XIV will die, littering the ground with wings and dismembered bodies. 1n- numerable larvae, matching from the eggs laid on branches, twigs, and stems, will fall to the ground in about six weeks, then burrow in and attach their mouths to a nourishing root. Here they undergo nnolts about once year or oftener, until some mysterious, simultaneous urge will make them emerge from the ground seventeen years hence, when they will crawl up posts, trees and other surfaces to rest until the skin splits along. their backs and they emerge as adult winged insects. The interesting pupal skin dries and re- tains the shape of the pupa, and often may be found attached to the support several days after the adult has flown away. This completes the life cycle of the longest-lived insect.
 Cicadas are not dangerous to hu- man beings. Probably they could sting with the long sucking beak which is used in feeding, but they never do. They make no effort to defend themselves or even to escape from persons who pick them up, or from birds which eat them.
