Mr.. Dickson also said Waldon told
him he'd lost some money in banks
and he'd rather take care of his

Capital Store Sales
Rise 70 Per Cent
Above Year Ago
Weeks Volume Also
IS Per Cent Ahead
Of Previous Period
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

Department store sales in Wash
ington for the week ended last
Saturday, May 8, were 20 per cent
higher than in the corresponding
week a year ago and were 13 per
cent above sales in the preceding
week, the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond announced today.
For the week ended May 9 the
average gain in the fifth district
WAS II per cent, Baltimore trade
was up Is per cent and sales in a
group OF other cities averaged %
per cent better than last year.
The gain over the previous week
mis- year was per cent in the
whole district, per cent in Balti-
more, while the other reporting cities
reported no material change in sales
Cumulative sales in the Capital
In the four weeks ending May 9
made brilliant showing, being "a
per cent above the like 1941 period
In the same period sales in the fifth
district were up 20 per cent, in Bal
timore 16 per cent and the other
reporting cities IS per cent.
Last weeks trade advance in the
Capital was better than in the pre-
vious week ended May 2, when sales
were Is per cent ahead of last year
AS often stated. a part of all these
gains is due to higher prices for
merchandise than prevailed a year
ago.
War Area Home Loans Heavy.
Member building and loan asso-
Citations of the Federal Home Loan
Bank System loaned approximately
$155, ,000,0 for home financing pur-
poses in war industry areas in the
first quarter of 1912
Their total loan volume through
out the country was S206, ,667 900
The curtailment of new construc-
ton in non-defense areas was re-
sponsible for the fact that the figure
was 9.6 per cent below the volume
for the first quarter of 194l, officials
said.
March loans by member associa-
tions amounted to nearly $75 900, 900,
16.7 per cent below March, 194l.
War Bond Contests Urged.
Contests among groups of building
and loan associations to stimulate
sales of War bonds were recon-
mended at the semiannual meeting
here of the Federal Savings and
Loan Advisory Council. The Wash
ington member of the council is w.
Waverlr " .ylor.
The .lcil urged the Federal
Home Loan Bank System to enroll
every member institution in the
War savings bond campaign for the
entire war period. All associations
were urged by the council to buy
series F and G War bonds for their
own investment up to the limit per-
missible and to purchase additional
bonds from pension and retirement
funds.
In addition to providing funds
for home ownership, loan leaders
should assist in financing construc-
tion for rental" housing for war
workers, the council said.

How Is Eouise? I haven't seen
her since I came back"
mo. I fancy not. First tell me
about yourself. Could I offer you

me it's very cold out"
Mrs. Gordon sat, very stiff and
straight, in an incongrous Roman
chair. Her hair, q surprisingly
even dark chestnut was fastened
high with a comb. The comb re-
minded him of his grandmother.
He wandered q little
Mrs. Gordon looked sharply at
him. II said, that I have been 60
ing through a very trying expe-
Renee since my husband passed
away"
"Oh, Tn sorry to hear that"
"Dr. Mitchell, I'm sure you were
surprised to hear from me. Some
how I felt that / could trust your
discretion since you used to be q
friends Of Louise"
Mrs. Gordon moved forward In
her chair. II have called you to
speak about Louise"
rs Louise ill?"
II don't know"
Mrs. Gordon twisted the ends OF
her black-lace scarf. "Dr. Mitchell,
I've been afraid of Louises mind
has been affected. You may re-
member that some time ago
Louise had most unfortunate at
tachment for one of the most UNI
desirable boys in this town."
"You are speaking Of Drake
McHugh."
Eyes - a very sad case. I sup
pose I was lax In my care OF
Louise, but before.I could guess
what might happen she imagined
she was in love with him."
"Yes, Mrs. Gordon. You might
just tell me what happened later"
"Dr. Mitchell, Louise hated her
fatherl"
Really? Why?"
II could never guess. DR.. Cor
don was a saint The woman's
face was suddenly transformed. A
look that was curiously still and
white gave her an appearance OF
Paris almost said "exaltation."
1t might have been nearly such an
appearance If 1t had not been at
the same time so hard, and So
yes, 1t was q cruel look. Every
line Of Mrs. Gordon's expression
was fanatic. Paris felt little
creepy, He decidedly did not like

Benning Delegate Seeking
Streamlined Federation
R. S. Clements
Is Harvard
Graduate
By BAINBRIDGE CRIST.

Last fall a youthful delegate took
his place for the first time in the
Federation of Citizens Associations
and listened to the proceedings.
But that delegate was not just
listening to speeches, he was also
thinking about the machinery of
the Federation and how it could
be streamlined He continued to
ponder the problem and not long
ago the Federation found itself face
to face with the "Benning resolu-
tion," which called for q survey to
revamp and streamline the organi-
cation.
The author Of the resolution from
the Benning Citizens Association
was that new delegate, Robert s.
Clements, "a. He is now chairman
of the Special Committee named
by Harry S. Wender, vice president
of the Federation, who has taken
over routine duties from President
Harry Stull, to study methods of
streamlining the organization.
Although Mr.. Clements is the first
to admit that there is no way to
prove it, he probably is the youngest
man elected to the Federation. His
rise in the Benning Association was
equally rapid. He joined the group
in March of 1941 and was elected
delegate in September, following his
nomination in the summer. He Is
also chairman Of the Safety Com
mittee.
Mr.. Clements quite frankly states
that the answers to the various
questions raised by streamlining
proposals are not readily apparent
and that more deliberation is
needed. Essentially, he said that he
hoped to retain the rights Of the
individual delegates while at the
same time preventing them from
abusing such rights.
Generally speaking, Mr.. Clements
feels that the meetings will have
to do more work in the same length
of time. That this will mean more
committee work is indicated by the
fact that three out of the five pro-
posals in the recent progress report
of the committee call for making
committees and chairmen more re-
sponsible and active"
The other two suggestions have
to do with limiting discussions on
the floor to topics brought up in
the form of written motions, which
would be submitted to the presiding
officer. Pointing out that at present
the Federation has no steering COM
mittee to learn in advance of mat
ters to be brought up. Mr.. Clements
pointed out that with written mo-
tions the president could shuttle
them around" to bring up the most
important ones first.
Mr.. Clements made the progress
report in the expectation that much
of the fire directed to such plans
would be drawn out before they
were finally submitted for consid-
Grafton He hopes that delegates
will make their criticisms before
and after meetings and by tele-
phone. The final issue will probably
come before the group in the fall
