southeastern Solomons and who
since August s have successfully
fought of one large landing attempt

Evidently these shock troops were
among the 800 japanese annihilated

strong japanese force which landed
secretly on the coast of Guadalcanal
was intercepted by the marines and
wiped out by tanks and machine
guns.
The marines said the Japs on
Tulagi used japanese nurses as
human decoys. When the marines
approached hospital, group OF
japanese girls in white uniforms
came out. The marines went over to
them and Jap soldiers opened fire
with machine guns from the hos

CHICAGO, Sept. l2.-Although
wheat prices showed downward
tendency at times, the grain mar
ket today registered only small net
changes. Price fluctuations were
very narrow.
Flour and milling trade activity
slumped but at the same time there
was little pressure to SELL most of
the profits on the weeks advance
having been taken after release of
the Government crop report Thurs
day. Traders we're content to await
price control developments.
Although spring wheat movement
is expected to reach a peak Mon
day, with receipts considerably
larger at Northwest markets today,
reports indicated harvesting condi-
tions are less favorable in some
areas. Government lending on
wheat collateral continued on a
large scale, the total 1912 wheat
under loan on September 5 being
reported at 1l3067 900 bushels.

Restaurant Business
Booms, but Higher
Costs Cut Profits
Goin in Income More
Than Offset by Rise
In Taxes, Owners Soy
BY Wide World.

BY Wide World.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-The Ma
tional Restaurant Association says
eating place sales in July rose 19
per cent above last year, but res
taurant owners aren't especially
haprl about it,
The higher sales. they say. do not
mean increased net profits. Here's
why:
Gains in operating income prob
ably will be more than offset by
heavier taxes.
Help is at a premium The Michi-
gan Restaurant Association reports
a shortage of 5000 mattresses in De-
troit alone. New York City eating
houses which once employed only
men now hire women.
The wholesale cost of foods has
risen at fast clip. Restaurants
pay more than the wholesale price.
but these examples give an indica-
ton of operating increases:
Hog prices have doubled since the
Germans touched off World War II
by marching into Poland Butter is
up about II per cent, eggs almost
l25 per cent and cattle SO per cent.
Few restaurants, however. have IN
creased their prices in comparison.
The shortage of fresh fruits and
vegetables in some sections causes
higher operating costs and means
ingenious menu substitutes.
Restaurants, preferring rationing
to meatless days, remind patrons of
prospective meat rationing on their
menus and urge consumption of fish
and poultry.
Sugar was scarce, while eating
places were allowed only so per cent
of last years needs. The Govern
ment raised the allowance to IS per
cent and made most owners happy.
Gasoline rationing proved prob
LEM in the East. Many roadside
inns have given up entirely, others
are barely hanging on.
The restaurant organization's sec
tional percentages show that gaso-
line rationing pulled down the gen.
eral 10 per cent increase to only a
II per cent rise in New England and
is per cent in the Middle Atlantic
States.
In the rest of the country-half
of the South, the Middle West
Mountain and Pacific States-sales
scared to more than 80 per cent
above July, 1941.
One of the main reasons for the
increased business is that the 300,-
900 women working in war plants
haven't as much time to cook as
formerly--so they dine out.
