Newspaper Advertising Up
18 Per Cent Above 194O
Special Dispatch to The Star,

6peclal Dispatch 10 Tne star
CHICAGO, April 14-Indications
that the Easter period will reach
high point in retail sales volume
are plainly evident from the fact
that the volume of display adver-
tising placed by retailers in 83 major
cities during the week ended March
% was 1874 per cent greater than
during the corresponding week of
1910, according to Advertising Age.
The volume of retail newspaper
advertising bears a distinct re-
lation to the state of retail trade
in community, Advertising Age
says, and the tremendous upsurge
for the last week of March is a
definite indication that Easter and
spring retail business will hit a
peak higher than that of any recent
year.
A total of % ,368,410 lines of retail
display advertising appeared in the
newspapers of the 83 measured cities
during the week, compared with 49,
$780, .204 lines in the same cities
during the week ended March 30
1910, gain of nearly 100000 lines.
For the 13-week period since the
beginning of the year. retail news
paper advertising in the measured
markets has totaled 246 .537 ,093 lines,
an increase of 81 per cent over the
corresponding period of last year,
when 241, ,486,486 lines were pub
lished.

Figures
What TheyMeon
BY JOHN L. BECKLEY,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK, April l4.-New Or
ders for the booming cotton textile
industry should be pouring in when
the Army starts awarding contracts
for barrage balloons.
Contracts for a large number of
these balloons, which have been
extensively used in the defense of
London, are reported to be in the
process of negotiation. Contracts
will be placed directly with rubber
companies, but 1t won't be long be-
for cotton manufacturers will get
their share.
Estimates of the amount of cot
ton fabric required for each balloon
range so high as to sound almost
fantastic. One source claims nearly
100000 square yards will be taken
by each one.
If the Army starts building them
by the thousands, as would be need
ed to defend strategic areas here, it
would be a great chunk of business
for the textile manufacturers.

Peace Group Hears
Legal Curbs Urged
To Prevent War
Powers of Nations Must
Be Checked, DR.. Mcmahon
Tells Catholic Session

In an address read to the Catholic
Association for International Peace
DR.. John L. Mcmahon of Catholic
University and the peace. organiza-
tion's president, today urged legal
restrictions" on powers of sovereign
states as a means of preventing
war.
The address, read before a
luncheon meeting by the Rev. DR.
Donald A. ,MacLean of Catholic
University, said that as long as the
state is sovereign and in position
of absolute unlimited power the
prospects for peace are dark.
The state exists for the common
temporal welfare" the address con-
tinued. "If the present state be too
small for the attainment of that
object, If the modern state because
of its sovereignty breeds war which
in no way conduces to the common
temporal welfare, then 1t is time
that peoples everywhere demand
legal restrictions upon the power of
the state, upon the power of every
state, particularly upon its right to
make war-to be the sole judge of
it's own actions. This diminution
of state sovereignty calls, of course,
for corresponding rights. 1t means,
essentially, greater freedom under
law"
"Grossest Violation"
The totalitarian states are re-
sponsible for the "grossest viola
ton" of the fundamental and nat
ural rights of the other states Of
the international community, the
address said. But the author en-
phasized that the totalitarian states
are net alone in their tendency to
became a menace to world peace.
1t makes little difference in that
respect whether government be
monarchic or democratic, it con-
tinued, although admitting that the
more free the state is, the more
Just it Is likely to be in its relations
with other states.
The speaker said the Vatican to-
day "exerts a moral force in world
affairs greater than that of any
other body"
The luncheon was one of the out
standing meetings on the first day
of the 18th annual conference Of
the association. Meetings will con-
tinue tomorrow.

Textile Firms Curb
Prices 10 Avoid
u. ). Action
Some Mills Refusing
To Quote os Large
Orders Pile Up
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 14.-Textile
manufacturers were reported in
trade circles today trying volun-
tarily to keep prices from advancing
so as to avoid compulsory limits, or
ceilings" fixed by the Federal
defense authorities.
The industry, is was noted, has
been having one of the greatest
booms in its history as a result of
combined heavy military and mer-
chant orders.
With mills booked weeks ahead,
demand for nearby delivery has
found the market susceptible to
quick price boosts, it was said. Some
mills were reported trying to remedy
this condition and hold down prices
by refusing to quote and restricting
civilian orders
Basic cotton fabrics were rated
at the highest price levels since the
big forward buying movement in
late 1886 and early 1887.
