Retail food costs in the District

gust; meats. 81 per cent; fruits and

and cereals.
Retail food prices throughout the
country increased IL per cent to
reach the highest point in 10 years
They are now 1913 per cent above
the level of year ago. Preliminary
reports from 18 cities indicate the
rise continued during the last half
of August, the bureau said.
Many factors explain the current
rise in food prices, it was pointed out

ployment, with consequent greater
consumer demand, large Govern
ment purchases and speculative
buying.

Light Vote Expected
In General Election
In Virginia
OF $4,000 Who Have Poie
Poll Tex, About IFS, 900
Likely to Cost Ballot
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND. Va, Sept. 6.-Indi-
cations today pointed to a lighter
vote in the November election than
in the August Democratic primary
which drew only 1884 persons to
the polls.
Four years ago when the primary
had a turnout of approximately
1913 200, the general election total
was less than 100000, or about II
per cent of the primary vote. If
this same proportion held true this
fan. the next Governor, Lieutenant
Governor and attorney general would
be named by about 106,20O voters.
Poll tax collections for the fiscal
year ended last June 80 totaled
S8O1, ,449, indicating about 100000
Virginians had paid their S1.50 head
tax, a figure not great deal higher
than four years ago when the 1885,
81 collections totaled S787 900, indi-
eating the qualification to vote, in
sofar as the tax was concerned, of
approximately 523 900 persons.
Republican Ticket In Field.
The continued tension in inter-
national affairs and overshadowing
influence of the national defense
program are other factors that may
tend to divert voter attention, just
as was the case in the primary.
The Republicans nominated a
ticket for the State offices, headed
by Benjamin Muse of Dinwiddie,
to oppose the Democratic slate, but
both parties recognize the prob
ability that it may be difficult to stir
up enough interest in competition
with national affairs to bring out
a heavy vote.
There will be a number of Demo-
atic-Repablican contests for the
House, but as whole these probably
will not affect the States total vote
to any greater extent than in 1887.
125.000 Vote Is Seen.
Few observers foresee November
count of more than 125,000 on the
basis of present indications, al
though vigorous Republican cam
paign might push the figure upward
somewhat.
Gov. Price polled 124,145 votes in
the election of 1887 against 23,67O
for Republican J. Powell Royal,
900 for Prohibitionist James A.
Edgerton and 1,164 for Communist
Donald Burke.
The Democrats carried every city
and all the counties except Carroll
and Grayson.

Mcmahon Denies Plea
For Bill Of Particulars
In Short-Weight Case
Detailed information
Sought by Attorneys
For Four Chains

Judge John P. Mcmahon of Po-
lice Court yesterday denied requests
in motions for bills of particulars
argued by attorneys for four large
store chains, to compel the District
Government to provide detailed in
formation in connection with short
weight charges against the chains.
Counsel for each chain argued
that the Government should be re-
quired to provide the names of
clerks from whom the alleged short
weight purchases were made and
other specific information.
The court held that such action
was unnecessary under the law.
Meanwhile, Assistant Corporation
Counsel E. w. Thomas announced
the Government would name specif-
ically in the information the alleged
amount of shortages.
The store chains concerned are
the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Co., Inc, against which there are
10 counts; the Sanitary Grocery Co.,
Inc, against which there are eight
counts; the Acme Markets, Inc,
against which there are five counts,
and the Giant Food Shopping Gen.
ter, Inc, against which there are
four counts.
Pleas of not guilty previously had
been entered for each corporation
at the time of arraignment in Au-
gust and jury trial, had been de-
manded. Due to the technicality of
court procedure pleas were with
drawn before argument on the mo-
tions.
Following argument on the mo-
tionS asking for the bills of par
ticulars, the Acme Markets and
Sanitary Grocery Co. again entered
pleas of not guilty and demanded
jury trials. Due to the proper rep
resentatives of the other corpora
tions not being present, Monday was
set as the date for them to again
enter pleas.

shops before being brought under
control after a two-hour battle by
firefghters from three Annapolis

The roof of one large building
housing the Meade Photo Studio,
Tilghman jewelry store and Simp-
