Before Wearing
Flower, Cheek
Rules OF Usage

LONDON. - (P. Gentleman
who ike TO wear a flower in their
buttonhole are advised that GER
tain rules should be followed in
the interest Of correct behavior.
British florists say that a white
carnafion should be worn with
full evening dress, but that a red
carnation should be chosen with
a dinner jacket.
Patriotic Englishmen are told
that d rose should be used only
on a special occasion like st.
Georges Day.
Now for style note that prob
ably won't appeal too much to
American men,. The principals in
bridal parties should wear gar
denias. This applies to the BRIDE
groom, the best man and the.
brides father, but its optional
for the ushers. American men
who find the fragrance of the
gardenia too overpowering will
probably continue to do as they
please in selecting a flower for
their buttonhole.

Servants In
Germany

~BERLIN.- tH1. Some Army
wives who admit that they never
rad Il SO good are afraid that
perhaps things have changed
nov. It's no longer very easy to
get good German servants. The
rkason is interesting. the Rus
snns have been releasing many
Ns1is who were held as prisoners

Now that the men are back
hume. many OF them insist their
wives belong at home. That's one
size Of the question. Here's an
osher-Gerfnans now find food
osite available and the rations
q Americans no longer interest
them.
Women who still work as
housekeepers now prefer jobs
With German families. For one
thing. language IS no problem. In
addition. the German style of
cooking comes more easily To-
them than the American app
pr0ach.

12q6 in Week Of Oct. 8
By the Associated Press

Department store sales through
out the Nation dropped IL per cent
below a year ago for the week
ended October 8, the Federal Re-
serve Board reported yesterday.
That was a far worse showing
than the 6 per cent decline for
the entire January l-October 8
period in comparison with the cor
responding part of 1948.
Bad weather, ranging from un-
|seasonable heat in the East to a
cold snap and storms in other
areas, was believed a depressing
influence on the weeks sales.
Declines were shown in depart
ment store turnover in every Fed
eral Reserve district. They
ranged from a l per cent dip in
the San Francisco district to a
II per cent drop in the Cleveland
district.
Percentages of decline for the
other districts were shown as:

Stock Market Drops
Fractions 10 Point
In Quiet Selling
By Roder Wineet

'
NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Quiet
selling weighed down the stock
market today and brought on de-
clines of fractions to around q
point.
There was no urgency behind
the movement. and a great num-
ber of leaders retained small plus
signs.
Rails held out against the fall
and turned in a mixed perform
ance that left prices about un-
changed on average. Utilities
barely moved and were mostly un-
changed.
Oils were generally lower with
some exceptions, and steels and
motors were unchanged to lower.
Admiral Corp. and Motorola
held to healthy plus signs con-
trary to the rest of the redio-
television group.
Today's market is a continual
tion of Thursday which started
out fast, turned mixed, drifted
lower and ended with only small
gain on average.
There was a rush of business at
the start of the market today with
rising tendencies noted. But that
didn't last long. AS soon as prices
dipped, activity dried up.
Lower were Union Pacific,
Standard Oil of New Jersey, East
ern' All Lines, Celotex, Anaconda,
re-Porcupine. American
Cyanide, Allied Chemical, Ameri-
can Can, General Electric, Coca
Cola. Radio Corp, Distillers Corp.
Seagrams. International Harves-
ter. Sears Roebuck, Goodrich,
Studebaker, General Motors, and
Youngstown Sheet g. Tube.
Stocks in the Curb market
leaned a little lower with fair
volume Of business. Down were
American Natural Gas, Cities
Service. Croft Brewing, KAISER
Frazer. Michigan Sugar, National
Union Radiator, and Rome Gable.
Bonds were mixed and idling
along. United States Government
securities in the over the counter
market were dull and virtually
unchanged.

By the Associoted Prexs

NEW YORK. Oct. 14.-The Dur
q Bradstreet wholesale food price
index this week slid to $5.37 from
last weeks $5.65 and thus was al
a new low since early October Of
1946 when the last OPA controls
were taken off meats and live
stock.
Contributing most of the dror
was a decline of 6 cents a pound
in the wholesale price of pork
bellies and a l1a-cent decline fol
hams. Other foods lower in whole
sale price were wheat, corn, rye
lard. sugar. coffee, eggs, potatoes
raisins and hogs.
Higher were -four, oats, cotton
seed oil, cocoa, peanuts, steers and
lambs.
The index represents the total
cost at wholesale of a pound each
OF 81 foods in general use.
At this weeks level, the. index
is 24.3 per cent below the all-time
high OF $7.36. posted July 13, 1948,
and is IA per cent below the year
ago index Of $6.48.
