 Bears in Pro Game

LOS ANGELES, Aug. B = R = Two exhibition victories hardly make a regular season of battle in the National Football league, but championship hopes of the Los An geles Rams sprang into full bloom today.
 Coach Joe Stydahar's explosive Rams plastered a 42-14 licking on the proud Chicago Bears last night in the worst defeat suffered by George Halas' midway monsters since 1929.
 The Rams, scoring seven touch downs, had the Bears bleeding by a 42-7 count until the final two minutes. Then a Ram tumble on their own five set up an easy chance to collect a touchdown.

Dollar Volume Stays
Above 1850 Despite
Slight Dip in Buying
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 9.-Although
some slight dips in consumer buy
ing was reported for the week
ended Wednesday, overall dollar
volume of purchases continued
well above that of a year ago, Dun
& Bradstreet said today.
The reporting agency noted ga
general shift away from durable
goods and toward apparel buy
ing"
Shoppers sought sizable guam
titles of suits, coats and children s
wear, the report said, and this
helped to increase somewhat the
demand for quality dresses, ac-
cessories and, in some vicinities,
footwear. y
Food sales were listed as de-
clining slightly, with growing
consumer reluctance to purchase
many higher-priced items, partic-
ularly some meats, cheese and
canned vegetables"
The report added:
There was a noticeable drop
in the amount of house furnish
ings bought. While small items
such as housewares, novelties and
gift ware were popular with shop
pers, increased resistance was ex-
pressed toward large appliances,
television and radio sets, electrical
equipment generally and some
types of furniture"
Total retail dollar volume in
the latest week was estimated at
II to 16 per cent above a year
ago. Regional increases were:
New England and Midwest, 1a
to II per cent; East, II to Is:
South, Northwest and Southwest,
IL to 16, and Pacific Coast, Is
to 10 per cent.

Higher, With Volume
Remaining Light
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Mar. 9.-Stocks
moved higher today in an unex-
citing market.
The volume of business was
depressed to the comparatively
low levels of recent days.
Gains, with the exception of
railroads, came to around a dollar
a share while losses were limited
to top of about rs cents.
The railroads were highlighted
by a gain of more than points in
Katy railroad preferred and a
jump of around a dollar in the
common. High earnings were
cited as a cause. Missouri Pacific
preferred also was active and up
nearly 2 at times.
The Association of American
Railroads reported an Estimated
net income for the railroads of
the country during January more
than four time larger. than the
same month of last year-$56 mil
hon as against $13 million.
Both the non-ferrous metal
mining and the gold mining
groups stepped ahead of the rest
of the market. There was not
too much activity, however. Prom
inent on the upside were Kenne-
colt Copper, American Smelling
and Homestake Mining.
Some Of the attention given to
metals evidently came from the
earnings reports of Kennecott, the
Nations biggest copper producer
and Phelph Dodge, the number

try.
Kennecott reported 1850 earn
ings equal to $8.15 a share as

Navigation Institute
Told Of Shortcominq
lin Air Instruments

Although numerous fine instru-
ments have been developed for air
navigation. no way has been pro-
yided to show when they furnish
faulty data, the Institute Of Navi-
cation was told today.
Addressing a convention in the
Shoreham Hotel. Vernon Weihe
of the Air Transport Association
explained that the instruments
sometimes are inaccurate because
electronic tubes blow out. or be-
cause joint soldering is defective.
Pilots of planes, he said, cannot
determine when such faults de-
velop.
Tells of Loss of Shipping.
Capt. C. N. Bamforth. coast
pilot of the American-Hawaiian
Steamship Co., said trucks and
automobiles have taken over most
of the short-haul coastwise water
ways business, and explained that
many ship lines well known in
former years have been forced to
withdraw their services. He said
that the Coast and Gecdetic Sur
vey and the Navy photographic
Office provide the best charts in
the world for surface ship nayi-
cation.
Advances in working naviga-
ton problems rapidly were de-
scribed by DR.. George w. Petrie,
Of the applied science department
of the International Business Ma
chine Corp.
Date Must Be Accurate.
He explained that it now is
comparatively easy for any one
to solve navigation problems with
the aid of prepared tables and
slide rules.
He observed, however, that the
astronomical data which was used
as the base must be highly accu-
rate. He explained the use Of
card punch machines in prepar-
ing and assuring the accuracy Of
the data in the Nautical Almanac.
which is published by the Naval
Observatory here. He also ex-
planned that electronic computing
machines were more accurate
than mechanical type.
