formerly was CHAIRMAN.
Other department store spokes-
men said the biggest impact would
come from the provision in the
new regulations applying them to
all purchases costing more than
$50. The minimum formerly was
500. This change will bring in
small radios, vacuum cleaners
washing machines and a large
number Of other appliances.
Auto Dealers GIoOmiest.
Despite some optimism in other
lines, automobile dealers showed
the thickest gloom.
Earl o. Baker. former president
Of the Washington Automotive
Trade Association, said the effect
of the rule on automobiles "is 60
ing to be very, very bad"
Mr.. Baker, of the Williams &,
Baker Nash Agency, said that
purchasers of a new Nash Am
bassador, after making the down
payment of one-third, would have
to pay between $3.50 and $140 a
month to liquidate the balance
due. He added:
"One effect Of the regulation
and one the Government doesn't
Want-Will be to encourage peo-
pie to cash their Government
bonds and draw on their savings
to make a larger down payment
and reduce their monthly install
mentS."
Fears Reduced Sales.
Leo Rocca, Plymouth and Dodge
dealer, said the regulation would
reduce sales.
Whether the effect will be more
than the Government wants can
not be told yet" he added. Con
sumner resistance began to develop
after the payoff time was re-
duced to 81 months and it's hard
to say how many people will be
discouraged from buying. Some
people will sacrifice other things
and draw on their savings to get
a car"
The new regulation as it applies
to automobiles, incidentally, is as
stiff as any applied during World
War II.
One effect of the regulations on
all installment buying will be
"rationing by pocketbook." ac-
cording to Leo j. Heer. a vice
president of the National Retail
Furniture Association in its Wash
ington Office.
THE biggest impact will be felt
by the moderate to lower income
group and by the stores that serve
them" he said.
He said that IS directors Of his
organization, representing stores
in 81 States, met last week in New
York. A poll of this group, he
said, showed that since the first
controls went into effect Septem-
ber 18 sales have dropped to ap-
|proximately normal and even un-
der normal in some areas. He said
the Federal Reserve Board was
informed of this but that advice
against making the rules stricter
was ignored.
One appliance dealer said that
after Christmas he looked for the
job Of making sales to be really
rough"
Take television-radio -phono-
graph combination which costs
$400 or more" he explained. Add
the cost of installing the antenna
and years service warrant, the
District sales tax and, after No
vember l, the new 10 per cent
manufacturers excise tax. The
down payment will be between
500 and $3.50. The average man
doesn't have that kind of money"

Take Ny Word for 1t
BY Fronk Colby
What Is an Idiom?

The word idiom is from the Greek
idios, "one's own" In English, an
idiom Is word or expression pecu-
liar to the language, and usually,
one which cannot be literally trans
lated into another language.
While idionls are correct English,
they are often illogical and are
sometimes ungrammatical. For ex-
ample, such common expressions as
'to put up with, put it off. bring
It about, to carry on. get wind Of
would be entirely bewildering to a
non-English-speaking person, be-
cause they are idioms found only in
our tongue, and therefore q literal
translation into another language
would result in pure nonsense.
One cannot greet a Frenchman
With comment faites vous faites?'
Which Is a literal translation OF
How do you do?" The French
equivalent is How go you?" Com
meut allez-vous?"
Such an expression as "let well
enough alone" would have no mean
ing, and would have to be translated
into French words meaning 1.-The
best Is the enemy of WE'LL" which
to US would be like double talk.
"T1t for tat" cannot be translated
The nearest French equivalent is
"A bon chat bon rat" meaning "for
. good cat, good rat" So it works
both ways-the idioms of one Ian
sEuage are "one's own," and are not
gtranslatable.
Z But they are the vitamins of
speech, and without them our Ian
guage would have become as en-
balmed as classic Latin or Greek.
, John OLondon, an English COL
umnist, said, THE idiom like a pixy
plays pranks with speech, rejoicing
IN its freedom from all convention
alities. Without the idiom there can
be no vivid communication.
