the preliminary figures covering
weekly sales through July clearly
indicated the continuing buoyancy
of consumer demand for a wide
range of merchandise.
Buying Emphasis Has Shifted
Recently
Sales reports on departmental
basis indicate that buying interest
in the early months of this year was
the more active in categories such
as housewares, floor coverings, and
furniture and bedding. Major appli-
ance sales have been somewhat
erratic. They got off to a poor start
i in January, were maintained in
large volume through March and
April, but fell off in May. Radio
and television business was more
active in the late winter and again
in June. ACKNOWLEDGING units sold
very slowly until about May, when
they rose to a position of leader
ship in many hOmefurnishings de-
\ partments.
Since Easter, the soft goods de-
partments of Third District stores
have been experiencing some over
all improvement, with sales in an
increasing number of lines showing
appreciable gains over year ear
lier. Business in piece goods and
household textiles started the year
very quietly, but by April, sales
volume was above the 1852 level
and continued high through June.
In wOmen's apparel and in various
ready-tO-wear accessories, some i'm
prOvement also has been apparent
in recent months. Sales of mems
and boys wear, too, picked up
after February, and May Volume
was quite high compared with a
year ago.
Instalment Volume Has Grown
In the first four months of this
year, instalment sales were running
well ahead of those reported in
early 1852, so that much of the
year-tO-year increase in total sales
was from this source. Cash and reg
ular charge-accOunt business was
following closely the 1852 pattern at
no increase in level With buying
interest focused on items in home
furnishings departments frequently
bought on a time basis, high ratio
of instalment to total sales was
about what might have been ex-
pected in this period. But when
consumers began purchasing more
soft gOOds-in some cases at the
expense of household durables-this
ratio declined and by June was
approximately the same as a year
earlier. Cash and regular charge
account business, then began to
show small increases over 1852.
| Collections Show Some Lag
Although consumers have been
buying more in Third District de-
partment stores this year than last,
they have not been paying off on
their balances as promptly as in
the first six months of 1852. The dis
parity has been much more pro-
nOunced in the case OF instalment
business than on regular charge
accounts. To some extent this re-
fleets an increase in the volume of
this type of credit. But it also may
be due in part to more liberal
purchase terms available on some
items since the expiration of Regu-
latiOn w. Outstanding balances on
instalment accounts showed very
little change during the first six
months of 1858, whereas a year ago
they were declining. At the end Of
January, OUtstandings were 1e per
cent higher than a year earlier. By
June 80 this gap had widened to
% per cent. The unpaid balances
on charge accounts, meanwhile,
have not displayed any significant
change so far this year and have

AMASAINeTONA
y SNApSAoT. n =
Flash

The National Highway Users Con-
ference tells us that ten more states
Delaware, Iowa, Idaho, Nebraska
New Jersey, New Mexico, North
Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont
and Washington have passed legis-
latlon this year requiring new motor
vehicles to be equipped with turn
signal devices. Since Minnesota
New Hampshire, New York and
North Dakota already require this
practical substitute for mind-read-
ing, that makes fourteen states that
have thus far seen the (flashing)
light.
We are also advised that at least
81 states have adopted hand and
arm signalling rules that are sub
stantially uniform. The trouble is
that hands and arms, even in one
state are not substantially uniform
and if lady-dTiver is talking, she's
got to keep one hand on the wheel
hasn't she?
Chances are, however, we won't
need any more legislation to make
the mechanical fiashers universal
When fourteen states require them,
the car manufacturers will most
likely make them standard fixtures
on all new models. And certainly,
when anyone has once driven in
city traffic with these strictly
wonderful gimmicks, he's ali
through with Tapping a wing out
the window.
"HOme Is Where The Heart Is"
UnificatiOn of the Armed Forces
may be alright up to a point. But
you can't expect a lifelong naval
officer, and the tOp-dog at that, to
go and live in an Army post! And
apparently, nobody ever suspected
that an admiral, rather than a
general might be made chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
That's why Admiral Arthur W.
Radford, who will sit at the head
of staff table, is still house-huntine
in Washington. For the first time
in twenty years, thanks to the COP
shake-up, there are plenty of houses
available. But they just won't dc
for the Staff Chairman.
Retiring Chairman Bradley has
this elegant seat at Fort Meyer, the
Army's plUshiest post overlooking
the Potomac, But General Ridge
way gets that as the new Army
Chief. Admiral Carney, Chief OF
Naval Operations, it appears rates
the Navy's most elaborate home
on the Naval Observatory grounds
So. perhaps Radford, a commando
at heart, may have to sling a
hammock in his Pentagon Office.

VISITORS TO NOME

Wien's fast cruising airplane,
captained by Robert Savaria, with
visitors to Nome aboard, cruised
over Boring Straits, and there
was that great opportunity of see
ing at one time two oceans, two
continent and two days-Monday
on Big Diomede Island and Sun
day on Little Diomede.
Only up there in clear Alaskan
skies, can this great natural scene
be observed. sNomeites, too, can
easily make arrangements to take
flying peeps at Siberia.
Aboard Captain Savaria's car
rier were: Mr.. and Mrs. Francis
D. Reider and MIR. and Mrs. Or
vile Yochem of Long Beach, Calf.
Mr.. Reider is member of the
Long Beach Harbor Commission.
He was greatly interested in the
harbor facilities of Snake River.
Both couples carried picture TAX
ing equipment and considered
themselves very fortunate in
being able to take back to Long
Beach an interesting picture story
of the 1853 landing of the King
Island Eskimos on the beach at
Nome.
Another passenger in the group
was Robert J. Nelson, perishables
freight representative of the Read
ing Railway System with head
quarters in Philadelphia. Mr.. Mel
son states that though this is his
first trip to Alaska, he has been
IN and THROUGH Alaska in
Vulnerable times = ALASKA,
PENNA. That Alaska is a large
anthracite coal center and its citi-
zens are always interested in af-
fairs that concern the Territory.
Mr.. Nelson also said that some of
his friends intend to visit Nome
later in the season.

1t was certainty there never
has been a smaller fine imposed

However, a five day closure

was fined 500.

ALASKA RAIL WORKERS
GET 534c HOUR WAGE BOOST

ANCHORAGE, R-Alaska Rail
road workers won a pay boost of
five and three-quarter cents an
hour Friday, an increase expected
to cost the railroad an additional
100000 annually.
The pay hike is retroactive to
March II for union employees and
March "a for non-union employees.
The unions had asked for a
tWo-cent boost after a four cent
increase granted under the Guth-
RE award. Interior Secretary Nc
Kay set the one and three-quarter
cent rate based on a 40 percent
cost of living differentia1.

DOGS. HORSES MULES
COST ARMY $500 EACH

WASHINGTON, Up - A dog
takes a pretty big bite out of the
Army's pocketbook.
The average cost of dog-used
for patrol duty with sentries and
guards-is about 5000, a witness
told a House Appropriations SUBJ
committee in testimony released
Thursday.
But the Army shouldn't kick at
the price for a mule or horse. A
mule also averages 5000, and a
horse $205.

due to weather it had to- be post
poned. A bonfire with food and
