Price Order Requires
LOT Of Adjustments,
Retailers Declare
Closing Of Thousands
Of Businesses Called
Only Alternative
BY Wide World News.

BY Wide World News
NEW YORK, April 29.-Extensive
adjustments in the Office of Price
Administrations general order freez-
ing wholesale and retail prices will
be required, many retailers and mer-
chandising experts agreed, if profit
margins are not to be dangerously
reduced.
Some said the only alternative
would be for thousands Of retailers
to shut down.
Said A. w. Zelomek, president of
the International Statistical Bureau
and well-known retailing authority ::
There Is no doubt that retailers
profit margins will be squeezed, and
many inequalities will have to be
corrected. But we can be certain
that the o. P. A. does not want to
put anybody out of business. Neces-
sary adjustments are planned"
, Crux of Problem.
The crux of the retailers problem,
as several of them expressed it,
would result from fixing both retail
and wholesale prices as of March.
They asserted that retail prices gen:
orally that month reflected the SELL
ing out of goods purchased earlier at
lower than March wholesale prices,
and that retail prices of goods pur-
chased at wholesale in March would
have to be higher.
Other complaints were that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's anti-inflati0n pro-
gram failed to provide necessary
mechanism to prevent further in
creases in wages. that increases in
farm products could not be prevent
ed barring new and uncertain action
by Congress.
The clothing industry was de-
scribed as disturbed by the fact that
certain wage increases will go into
effect next Monday.
Some noted with satisfaction the
price freezing general order said,
particularly with respect to retailers
claim of a lag between wholesale
and retail prices:
This general regulation will be
subject to many refinements and
particular revlSionS. They will
be issued expeditiously."
Lays Not Uniform.
But the order said that such lags
were by no means uniform. and that
In a number Of items, retail prices
had advanced more rapidly than
wholesale.
Typical Of several reactions of de-
partment store executives was that
of Howard Denny, president of
Franklin Simon & Co., who said:
The simultaneous freezing of re-
tail and wholesale prices as of
March is a completely unfair pro-
vision for the retailer.
There should have been a lag Of
three or four months between the
freezing Of wholesale and retail
prices to give us time to equalize the
difference. ."
Mr.. Denny said the order tended
to penalize retailers who had done
a patriotic job in keeping their
prices down.
Price ceilings are all right" an
other retail spokesman said. mo
one objects to stabilizing prices, if
all factors are taken into consid-
Grafton, including wages"
During March, this executive esti-
mated, retail prices Jagged behind
wholesale prices by or per cent.
The 0. P. A. made it clear that it
would insist on reductions in costs
The order said: "One thing should
be clearly understood. Retail prices
will not be increased"
Mr.. Zelomek said merchants would
have to cut their costs by eliminating
"frills" Of distribution, such as vari-
ous services to customers.

GRASS TURNING green
" flowers poking their first
shoots from the ground-the air
full Of htes-all these are signs
that warm weather Is really on
the way. Bring a touch OF this
springtime into your menus In
the character of bright colorful
salads.
b In recent years these have
tchanged from just an occasional
meal accompaniment to an al
most every day dish. This Is true
/ because more than ever before
homemakers the country over are
becoming vitamin and mineral
conscious.
I Characteristics
4 Since fresh vegetables and
fruits are rich In these vitamins
land minerals essential TO good
health il is important that home
makers plan TO include them in
their menus often. One Of the
best ways is in salads.
\ The characteristics OF a good
salad are simple and fairly easy
TO accomplish; namely IL should
he well chilled before serving;
have an attractive arrangement
and must be flavorful. This is
particularly true of main dish
ones. such as meat, chicken, sea-
food or fish.
: Most of us prefer a simple
type and the salad bowl is among
the best examples. A blend OF
two or more green's broken into
coarse shreds, prepared broken
shrimp and pitted olives provide
enough variety 10 insure the
success of any such dish.

Good Soil No Trees,
Sun and Water Musts
For Vegetable Gardens
BY ISABEL FUCKER

MANY OF the failures and dis
AVA couragementS of new vege-
table gardeners are due TO
wrong or poor beginnings that
could very easily be avoided.
This year we cannot afford 10
have failures so let's begin right.
Have you space for vege-
tables? Let's see. First. have
you a clear, unshaded spot with
no nearby tree roots to rob the
vegetables of the nourishment
from the soil? If you have,
this is the place for your vege-
table garden, IF the soil is IN
good condition AND there is
water nearby.
All four of these requirements.
are MUSTS-full sun, no tree
roots, good soil and nearby
water.
OF course il you haven't water
nearby ii may be possible 10
get il, and il the soil is not in
good condition, an application of
either well rotted manure or
commercial dried manure will
help improve it, but the first
two requirements must be on
the premises.
Decide on Space
Let's assume you have the
ideal spot-then what? Next
you decide how much space you
will garden. Rather cultivate
too little ground than too much.
This Is no year to waste seed
or fertilizer on a garden that is
started with enthusiasm and
abandoned to weeds in mid
summer.
Figure out how much time you
will be able to spend in caring
for your garden, make it just
big enough. You can comfort
ably handle a space % feet by
Is feet even if you are a be-
ginner il you have an hour a
day, every day, to care for il.
So your garden is to be p
feet square. Now TO fit the
vegetables TO the space. First
discard ideas on crops that take
a lot of room-melons, cucum-
bers, pumpkins and squash.

ming in advance 10 plant a sec
ond crop in the space vacated
by a first. In other words as
fast as one crop is used, a new
one is planted.
Companion cropping means
sowing two kinds of seed in the
same row because one comes
up fast and will be ready to eat
before the other, and in the
meantime conveniently mark
the row so you won't dig up
vegetable plants while cultivat-
ing weeds.
Let's plant your garden,
modifying a plan suggested by
Michigan State College. Figur-
ing rows only one foot apart
and starting from either end of
the garden (the ideal way for
rows TO run is north and south
since they get most SUM the
first row. one foot from the
edge. could be onion sets, fol-
lowed by late carrots or heetS.
Second row radishes and lettuce
as companions, followed by car
rotS. The next three rows, early
peas, followed by carrots, beets
and parsnips respectively.
Row 6 is early cabbage fol-
lowed by turnips, row z, the
two companions radishes and
lettuce, followed by beetS. Row
8 is Swiss chard from which
you will cut all summer. Row 9
early beets, followed by New
Zealand spinach and row 10
early carrots. followed by late
ones.

But Capt. Emma had not quite
finished: "They do this" she said
simply, "out Of the necessity Of their
hearts" These words too were
not meant to be big. But when
words are really big, they just are.
The next day came the time to say
dosvydanya-Russian for au revoir.
Capt. Emma was returning to her
regiment and we were leaving that
sector of the front. Standing beside
three big Russian officers, she looked
astonishingly small, even in her COT
fee-gray army overcoat. She waved
and smiled and waved again. Think
ing about it. as Ivan the Terrible
steered us over the badlands' ruts
and bumps, it occurred to me that
only one kind of people have the
right to use the word humanity.
Capt. Emma would always be one OF
these.

Emma said, "but If woman is going

sudden pause and I knew this was
something which did not bear talk

Once before Capt. Emma had told
me, bombs and gunf1re really don't
