Record Christmas
Season Predicted

New York-Storekeepers expect
this Christmas season to be the big
gest ever-but for the first time
since the war they'll be making a
real bid for your business.
Last December retails sales reached
a staggering total Of $12,641 ,0O0,-
600 the highest for any month on
record.
This year merchants are confident
December sales will be even better.
Some forecasters set the gain at 10
to IS per cent over year ago, say
ing they expect sales to reach about
$14,OOO,OOO,000.
Besides the high level Of national
income, retailers give these reasons
for their optimism: Supplies of goods
are better and more varied than
they have been in years, there are
more eye-catching special gift items,
prices are higher but values are bet
ter, and there is greater range Of
moderate-priced gifts.
Competition Back
Merchants are stressing the mod
crate price levels-for months con-
sumers have been turning aside from
high priced luxury goods. They real
ize that the day has gone when the
consumer would buy a gift no mat
ter what its price.
Competition is back in full force.
Merchants have recognized that in
their selection of goods. They also
plan bigger Christmas promotions
than in many years-and plan to
start them earlier than usual this
year.
Manufacturers, too, have been Civ
ing more thought to the consumer.
They have set out to develop new,
fresh ideas.

Beware of Anthrax

Anthrax is an acute disease af-
fecting all domestic animals and
man. Generally fatal, the disease
Is spread by means of spores from
caracsses of animals which have
died from the disease. These spores
may live in the soil for years and,
when picked up with their food by
grazing animals, germinate in the
intestinal tract. From there, the
anthrax bacilli invade the blood
stream, rapidly causing death. HUI
man beings may become infected
when skinning an animal which has
died from the disease, or by ham
ding the skin or other products.

Thompson May Hold
Home Despite Loss
I0f Eviction Suit

| Legal maneuvers may allow the
family Of Huston Thompson, a for
mer chairman Of the Federal Trade
Commission, to retain their 10
room suite at least until midsummer,
despite an eviction verdict by a
Municipal Court jury yesterday.
The jury's decision granted the
family Of Rear Admiral Joseph j.
"Jocko" Clark possession OF the
suite in the apartment house at
$500 Massachusetts avenue NV,
which they own.
But indications were that the
jury's verdict merely was the end
Of the first round Of what may be
long fight.
Motion for New Trial.
The Thompsons are allowed until
Thursday to file q motion for q new
trial and Attorney Clay Espey, who
represents them, announced i'm
mediately he intended to do so. He
pointed out that, even II appeals
were denied by the courts, the legal
proceedings would delay eviction of
his clients.
The verdict marked the climax
of a bitterly contested five-day
suit, in which Mrs. Clark, wife of
the Deputy Chief Of Naval Opera
tions, has sought to oust the Thomp-
sons, who have occupied the apart
ment for the last 26 years.
In the course Of the trial, the
Clarks, who now live at 1857 South
Twenty-sixth road, Arlington, had
said they need the space for their
own use, since they must move from
their present house by June Is. In
another court action, they already
had won the right to occupy a SIM
liar 10-room suite on the third floor
of the building, bought by Mrs.
Clark last January for 100000.
The Thompsons have contended
the Clarks have no need for such
large living quarters as they are
demanding. Mr.. Thompson, who is
73, told the court during the trial
that a heart condition makes it
impossible for him to live in q house
where he had to climb stairs.
Closing Arguments.
In closing arguments yesterday In
the court Of Judge George D. Neil
son, counsel for the two families
summed up their cases.
Mr.. Espey described the Clarks
as arbitrary and arrogant" = in
seeking the two apartments. The
attorney charged the family does
not intend to use the quarters for
their own use, since the Admiral
expects to receive orders shortly
ordering him elsewhere. Mr.. Espey
charged the demand for eviction
was in violation of the District Rent
Act and that is is Illegal "to put
people out unless there is an i'm
pelling necessity to do So"
Attorney Herman Miller, repre-
senting the Clarks, pointed out the
20 sooms sought by his clients are
needed for use by the seven men,
bers of the family and three serv-
ants. He challenged the right of
the Thompsons to dictate to the
Clarks how they should live"
