ninistrator, said consumption of liquor
for May. is running somewhat below
that of May, 1941, indicating about q
100000 drop in gross sales for the
month. He attributed the decline to q
decrease in state population, coupled
with increased savings, largely buying
OF defense bonds and stamps.

profit to be slightly less than 2 per-
cent above the April 1871, profit, de-
spite larger operating and purchase
resulting from increased volume Of
liquor handled.
