War Creating Scorcities Here,
But French Perfumes Abound
Effect of Defense Priorties on Stocks
Has Merchandise Men Guessing

Women may still be- able TO get
French perfumes when their hus-
bands are finding difficulties in
getting new suits.
But that is still in the future and
department store merchadise men
interviewed here yesterday were
cautious in their predictions con-
cerning the effects of defense pro-
duction on their stocks.
AS for the French perfume, only
the perfumerS themselves are in on
the secret of how long the supply
now in America will last.
The effects of the war have been
felt tangibly enough at all the
stores, but what defense priorities
will mean has the merchandise men
guessing.
A hint comes from some delay in
getting mems suits. At one store,
it was pointed out that the raw
materials are available but the
manufacturers are experiencing de-
lays in getting the piece goods, An
other merchandise man said he
had been told the textile mills and
manufacturers we're receiving large
defense orders to make uniforms
and blankets and we're giving them
priority over civilian orders.
Feeling of Free Spending.
This has resulted so far only in
occasional delays.
To the store executives only one
thing is certain about The effects
of defense expansion and that is
the tremendous increase IN sales.
They accounted for this by point
ing to the increased population of
Washington in addition to general
stimulation of business throughout
the country.
AS an example, one of the men
quoted report on department
store sales, showing a Nationwide
average increase of 19 per cent and
a local increase of 20 per cent
The same official said he believed

SeIective Service Act
Extension Urged by.
Legion Official
MoIIoy Fuvors Giving
All Possible Aid
To England

Extension of the Selective Service
Act beyond the present five-year
period was urged last night by
Joseph ]. Malloy, national executive
committeeman of the American
Legion.
Mr.. Malloy spoke at the 10Th an
nual installation dinner and dance
of the Government Printing Office
Unit, No. 2, United Veterans OF
American Wars, at the Colonial
Hotel.
Pointing out that his organization
has consistently advocated a pro-
gram of national defense, the speak
er told his more than 450 listeners
that "the urgency of the present
situation demands that the United
States be ready for whatever may
happen in the future"
At the same time, he said. we
must give all possible aid to Eng
land and the other democracies in
their fight against aggression.
Willie 1CooO-
lend bill by name, Mr.. Malloy de-
clared that any measure which helps
Great Britain should be passed i'm
mediately because Britain is our
last stronghold against the dark
forces of aggression"
In demanding an extension of the
Selective Service Act, Mr.. Malloy
suggested that more attention be
paid to obtaining younger men who
have not yet entered important
positions in life or who are not
married" He said he believed draft
boards should select, as far as pos
sible, unmarried men between the
ages of 81 and 25 to serve in the
armed forces of the Nation.
Guests of honor at the dinner
were the newly elected officers OF
the veterans group. They are Frank

there was a feeling in the air which
lent itself to free spending, an at
titude that the money will go in
taxes if 1t isn't spent otherwise.
At the same time, none of the
executives said they had noted any
tendency to hoard on the part of
customers. The department stores,
themselves. are not specializing on
stock that might become scarce
because of defense production, the
men said.
Thei" goal, they said. is to hold
prices down. to maintain normalCy
and superimpose defense needs on
it"
Some Goods Are Scarce.
The stoppage of goods from the
continent. which is virtually COM
plete, has taught the manufacturers
and their department stores out
lets a lesson in readjusting.
Take down, for instance. For
pillows and quilts, down came from
Poland. Feathers used to be re-
moved completely. Now there is a
trend toward putting feathers in
to make the supply of down go
further.
One store made a practice of buy
ing its stock in the month it planned
to sell it. But shipments of fine
embroidery from China are spas
modic and uncertain so the store
buys what it can get when it can
get it.
Then, too, the merchandise men
agreed, the public is getting edu-
Gated. Women have exchanged
Paris fashions for those inspired in
Hollywood or created in New York.
The tradition that a Paris label
was requisite for gown of fash
ion fell when France fell, they said.
British Stocks Coming Through.
One store executive explained
that his salespeople weren't offer
ing American-made wares as sub
stitutes for imported models. 1t

JAPANESE BEETLE CONTROL

e. B. Brewer, entomologist in
charge of Japanese beetle control
work for the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, who spent several days
in Maryland last week to study
Japanese beetle conditions, visited
Cecil County to study the results
that have been obtained by County
Agent j. q. Miller on Japanese
beetle control Accompanying Brew
er, was ]. S. Houser, Chief Entom-
ologist of the Ohio Experiment Sta
ton, who came to Maryland to OBJ
tain information to be used as bas-
is for research work in Ohio.
After studying the various meth
DDS and policies being employed in
Maryland, the Maryland State En-
tomologist, DR.. Ernest N. Cory, said
the visiting entomologists appeared
to be favorably impressed with the
Maryland program and expressed de-
light with the favorable results
being obtained in Cecil County.
Commenting upon the Cecil County
work DR.. Cory said that County
Agent Miller was carrying on a most
satisfactory offensive in fighting the
beetle. The standard practise for dis
tributing the disease in most states
is to make one-half to one-acre
treatments at approximately three
mile intervals. In Cecil County,
County Agent Miller, has distribut-
ed the disease on practically every
farm, and to date approximately Z
one-acre treatments have been made
in each square mile. Other features
of the program as conducted by Mr..
Miller, are the coordinated use of
traps, spraying and planting to
avoid beetle damage.
According to DR.. Cory, both state
and government entomologists were
impressed with the decided improve
ment in beetle conditions in Cecil
County. The visiting entomologists
were particularly impressed with the
results being obtained in the sever
al test plots to show the effective
ness of the milky disease. Other en-
tomologists visiting the county were

ment Station, William Middleton, of
