Store Sales Highest
For This Season
In II Years
Price Appeal Remains
Major Factor in
Retail Field
By the Associated Press.

b the Associated Press. -
NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Continued;
high activity of retail trade-at the
highest level for this season in II
years-was reported today by Dun
& Bradstreet, Inc. in its weekly
survey. 80.
"As rule" said the mercantile
agency, retailers found sales re-
suits for the week highly satisfac-
tory. Occasionally it was felt that
consumer spending, although i'm
proved, did not yet reflect the SUBJ
stantial increase in industrial en-
pIoyment
The repayment of old debts was
thought still to impede the full ex-
panSion in buying In many in-a
stances, however, retailers reported
sales outrunning expectations. ="
Despite brisk consumer interest.
price appeal was still a major factor
in the selling Increases In medium.
price merchandise we're far out-.
stripping gains in high-price lines.
Comparisons with sales of the,
corresponding period a year ago re-
vealed substantial increases in major
selling lines and in almost every
major distributing center. -.-
'As a rule, the margin of i'm.
provement was widest for furniture,
furs, electrical appliances and au-
tomobiles. Regionally the best COM
parsons came from centers in the
South, Southwest and Middle West.
With the expansion in dollar
trade for the whole country esti-
mated at 9 to II per cent above a
year ago, percentage increases for
various broad regions ranged as fol-
lows: New England, to 8; East,
Z to l3; South, y to 20; Southwest,
10 TO Is; Middle West, 8 to II;
Northwest, to II, and Pacific Coast,
5 to TO-"
The Federal Reserve Board esti-
mated yesterday that department
store sales in the week ended Feb
ruary l, were 9 per cent higher than
in the corresponding week last year.
In the week ended January 25,
sales had been II per cent above
last wear, and in the four weeks
ended February they averaged IL
per cent more than in the similar
perior last year.
BY Federal Reserve districts, in
creases over a year ago for the one
week ended February l included:
Boston. 6; New York. 7: Phila-
delphia, 4; Cleveland, 7; Richmond,

Socially, this man who was born plain William Maxwell Aitken, son of Q Scottish Minister, In on- tario, Canada, runs true eo form. Blackout time is no excuse for him to stop conferences, and twice a week, occasionally more often, he telephones the numerous editors and sub-editors who run his two London daiIies Cthe Express and Standard and barhs out the com mand that they're all to show up in 30 minutes at his table in the blast proof dining room of the Savoy Ho- tel. Then, during the course of the meal, they discuss what's wrong and what's right with the papers.
 WORKING DAY
 NEVER ENDS
 No week -end with Beaverbrook in the English countryside is ''quiet." He shouts. He gestlculates. He wears out secretaries when he begins to dictate, for 1t is never one letter but a constant stream of orders, queries, refusals, observations, sometimes curt notes to his editors to allot bonuses to reporters who have turned in some particularly good work he has observed in the col- umns of his newspapers.
 A near-constant sufferer from asthma, he has become 8 sun ad- dict to get relief During sun ses- sions in the grass which surrounds his swimming pool he does a large part of his verbal letter writing. It has been his habit, however, just before retiring at a. m, to dictate few last thoughts into the dictaphone that stands alongside his bed.
 Dinner hour in the Beaverbrook country house is one experience Q weekend guest won't forget quickly. The food is good, though not over- ly abundant these days. When 1t is served, however, you get the im- precision you're eating at some blue- plate lunch counter. The walters move in fast and the courses come around so quickly slow eater has mt got chance The meal develops into race among the diners, with Beaverbrook the sure winner.
 Despite this speedy service, con- versation is continued-at highly stepped-up pace. Beaverbrook keeps it moving and the questions he barks, in tone similar to Church i'll, gained perhaps from close as- sociation, are remarkably penetrat- ing. Even his conversational chit chat demonstrates that behind that dome-shaped heavily lined face there lies shrewd, facile mind.

Hartford, August 20. - Connec- ticut's great insurance industry and its important contribution to Na- tional Defense will be the central feeature of the exhibit in the Con- necticut Building at the Eastern States Exposition during the week of September 14-20. The exhibit is being sponsored by the Aetna Life and affiliated companies in coop eration with the Connecticut Build ing trustees. More than 5000 square feet of floor space will be occupied by this exhibit with the balance of the building used for exhibits on highway safety, defense activities and agriculture's part in producing the protective foods.
 Immense Panorama
 The entire central portion of the building will be converted into a large rotunda, on the walls of which will be projected a series of mammoth color enlargements show ing Connecticut,s industries, it's way of living and the attractions 1t offers as 8 place in which to live or visit. Each of these photographs, of which there will be nearly B thousand, will be in natural color and when projected on the screen will be 12 feet high and feet wide. Through 8 novel arrangement, of these pho- tographs will be thrown on the walls of the ratunda simultaneously Nto form an immense panorma de- nicting various phases of Connecti- cut life. In this presentation there will be used IS automatic pro- jectors which will throw a total of 15,000 watts on the pargest pro- jection screen ever used in New England.
 One phase of the presentation will show the part that insurance plays in protecting life and prop erty and the way in which the money paid in insurance preiums is put to work to serve the com munity through investments in farms, railroads, public utilities, etc. It will also show how insurance is assisting in National Defense by making possible the construction and operation of industrial plants and the protection of industrial workers and their families.
 Safety Features
 Animated exhibits will be used to show many of the safety educa- tional services performed by insur- ance as part of its life conservation and accident prevention activities. Those attending the exhibit will have an opportunity of observing the functioning of the human heart and of hearing the beating of a live ing heart magnified many millions of times. They win also see a graphic presentation of the causes of fires and explosions and meth- ods for their prevention. Many other features, including moving pictures, are being planned for the insurance exhibit.
 Olcott F. King, chairman of the building trustees, feels conservative in his statement that this will not only be the best exhibit ever pre- sented in the Connecticut building but will be the most novel presenta- tion ever made in New England The exhibit is being made possible through the cooperation Of the Aetna Life Insurance Company and It's affiliated companies which have assumed the responsibility for plac- ing an exhibit in the Connecticut

Marriage at Elkton, Md, famous for the abundance of isS Justices of the peace, and a popular objective for eloping couples, failed to secure a deferment for John A. Petrone, local youth inducted at Hartford yesterday.
 Draft officials in Board 15-A re- fused to recognize Petrone's plea that he was entitled to deferment on grounds of having been married on August 3, maintaining that he had received his induction notice prior to that date, and that his name had been published in the draft lists on July 3l. The appeal was rejected at board meeting on August II.
