Officials Propose
Publication Of Names
Of Big Bond Buyers
Atluntu Executives
Believe List Would
Stimulate Drive
BY the Associated Press.

ATLANTA, Feb. 21-A suggestion
that names of individuals who have
purchased $1,000 worth of Defense
bonds be made public has been sub
mitted to the Treasury Department.
I'VE believe that such a list would
be significant, not only because of
the names included, but because of
those that are missing" said Arthur
Lucas, State chairman, and Marion
Allen, State administrator of the
Defense savings staff for Georgia
Originators of the suggestion that
names of big purchasers be made
public, Mr.. Lucas and Mr.. Allen in
a joint statement said the Defense
bond drive is tagging.
1T is tagging" they said, "be-
cause the men who could easily af-
ford to purchase the $4,000 limit in
the E bonds and up to the $4,000
limit in F and G bonds are keep
ing their money in their pockets
They are letting George do it

Men who could well afford to
make heavy investments in bonds
are less willing than are the small
wage earners, the school children
and others in the lower income
group, the statement said.

After one knows how the Red

Civilian Gray Goods Sales
DwindIe During Week
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 21-Civilian
sales of grey goods during the last
week consisted of only scattered lots
on the Worth Street market, with
unestimated millions of yards moving
directly or indirectly into Govern
ment channels.
Agents said an accurate survey
Of the yardage going for Federal
purposes was virtually impossible.
Mills generally seemed to be turn
ing their attention to Government
business. 1t was expected that regu-
lations soon would be issued to give
preference to orders for cloth for
defense needs.
Events in the Pacific battle area,
threatening to cut of entirely sup
plies of jute and burlap, added to
the anxiety of cotton bag manufac-
turers who were uncertain as to how
well they would be able to compen-
safe for such a loss. They reported
growing demands for bags for feed
and fertilizer, in addition to material
for ssandbags and camoufiage cloth.
In the woolen markets. buyers
showed more interest in substitute
fabrics, which were expected to re-
place woolens and worsteds manu-
factured prior to the outbreak of
the war. Purchasers sought to learn
what types of cloth would be offered,
asking early showings in order to
make selections.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Narrow
price movements and lessened trad

markets this week, with buyers ap-
parently waiting for several pending
issues to be clarified.
Interest centered in proposed Sem
ate action to prevent Government
sales of farm commodities below
parity prices, but reports that the
President stood ready to veto any
such bill curbed optimism.
War news continued adverse and
worked to prevent any substantial
advances. Cocoa, flour, wheat, hogs,
lambs and oats, however, scored
small gains.
Losing ground were bituminous
coal, turpentine, eggs, butter, cattle,
corn, cotton and wool.

NEW YORK. Feb. 21.-Non-fer
rous metals circles said today early
March probably would bring an
nouncement of individual produc-
ton quotas above which premium
prices will be paid for copper, lead
and zinc .
The industry has awaited with
considerable anxiety the figures
showing the amount of metal they
were expected to turn out at cell
ing levels.
Metal industry sources expect soor
the appointment of Harry o. King
former head of the Cooper Code
Authority under the old National
Recovery Administration, as "czar'
of the copper industry division Of
the War Production Board.
King has been reported spending
considerable time with the board
presumably familarizing himself
with the present setup. The posi-
ton temporarily has been filled by
H. w. Dodge of the Texas Co.

Apparel Stores Top
List in Survey Of
Chain Sales
January Volumes Up
S7.o Per Cent From
Levels Of Year Ago
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BOSTON, Feb. 21.-Sales volume
in apparel chain stores last month
showed the most startling increases
compared with the volume of busi-
ness done in January Of last year.
This point is brought out in the
monthly compilation Of chain store
sales released by Childs, Jeffries 81
Thorndike, Inc, analyzing the sales
reported by 80 companies In various
different branches of the chain store
field.
The 80 companies as a whole re-
ported aggregate sales for January,
1912, in the amount of 1896, 500 ,367,
compared with sales of $248, ,533,94
for the same group Of companies In
January, l94l. This represented an
increase of 35.4 per cent.
The compilation, analyzing the
total figures by types of chains,
shows that the apparel chains in
cluded in the study experienced an
aggregate sales gain Of 87.9 per
cent, reporting total volume of $12,-
Ais .189 in comparison with sales Of
only S6,608,810 year previously.
The shoe group had an increase of
496 per cent. The mail order, va
riety and grocery groups reported
gains in excess Of 80 per cent. The
drugstore group increased 1872 per
cent in volume.
The report pointed out that these
increases we're far too substantial in
all cases to be accounted for by a
higher price level, or by compar-
able increases in public purchasing
power or customers needs. 1t was
evident that a very substantial
amount of stocking up" was done
last month by the buying public in
anticipation Of increasing difficulty
in obtaining goods or less satisfac-
tory quality of merchandise avail
able. In some cases the replace
ment by the stores of this merchan-
disc taken from their shelves may
prove to be a serious problem.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-Both
teachers colleges of the State of
Georgia were stricken today from
the accredited list of the National
Association of Teachers Colleges.
Members of the association, in

those studying there might be un-

were violating the spirit of meat
price ceiling orders and made a

Practices complained of, he said,
arose from the fact that ceilings

pork and some other products on

retail stores.
Store proprietors complain, he
said, that meat packers have sched-
ules of stores and communities over

with the highest ceilings in the
country and markets with low price
