The continuing speed trend to better retail sales has begun make serious inroads on shelves of retailers, and last week there was quite an tpidcraic of telegrams and special delivery letters as department stores and other merchandisers began finding their stocks actually too low, Most experts figure that this signalizes the end of a period of purchasing, and that merchants who have been holding their buyers in check because of war uncertainty may now loosen up on their inventory policies. Chief buying movement was in cotton cloth, but woolen and worsted goods were in strong demand, too. Textile operations for fall seem almost sure to be very good. With a large amount of woolen mills' current capacity being taken by various government orders, some mills are even having to ask customers for a little extra time on deliveries. down-to-ear- eraUons to over the 1,000,000 mark. Average cost of the homes in this bracket is 14,400. th hand-to-mou- th WASHINGTON Housing, in the e brackets, continues at the unusually rapid pace set earlier in the summer. In August, applications for FHA insurance of mortgages on new small homes reached the third largest and total in the agency's history were 45 per cent larger in number and 40 per cent more in amount than for August, 1939. Last month's operations brought total small home mortgages selected for appraisal by the FHA during its six years of op- small-hom- ASTONC AFFAIR . TRANSPORTATION READY Should a war emergency suddenly confront the United States, the na-t- o tion's transportation system could move an army of one million men, together with a year's supply of food, from coast to coast in ten days. So K. N. Merritt, general sales manager of Railway Express, told An audience in the. Goodrich arena at the New York World's Fair upon accepting for his organization the rubber company's award for distinguished public service. To illustrate the enormity of this task, he explained that the population of a city the size of Baltimore or St Louis is less than a milliojn persons. The food requirements for a million armed men, as estimated by a food industry expert, would come to some 855,000 tons. Included are such sizeable items as 11,250,000 chickens, 30,000,000 dozen eggs and 45,000,000 tons of onions. Actually, the Job is not as taxing as it appears, Mr. Merritt declared, explaining that the railroads move more than that much freight in a single day. Railway Express carries over 150,000,000 packages a year, while the air lines, buses and railroads combined carry that many passengers every eight hours on the average. EACH WEEK TO WASH AND GOSSIP. tural Adjustment Act been broken AM) THE at Glenn . . IMENTI0N Where the hills divided and the valley widened we came upon another town. It was typical of New England, with square, white houses set in shady lawns along wide, quiet stieets. But this town was more beautiful than the last ones we had driven through and there was a different air about it; something that told us that here people were not living upon past glories but were an active, ustful part of Today although living in homes which spoke eloquently of a different age. The busy store along Main Street showed plainly that business was good "They must make something here," we told each other and turned to drive along the river looking for the factory or plant that was inevitable when we came upon towns like this. We found it, spreading its old brick walls along the river for at least a couple of blocks a paper mill that had been turn ing out news print for more than a hundred years. This explained everything. The size of the beautiful homes, which meant prosperity a century ago, as well as p which means their present prosperity today. For on that 2,500 mile trip wherever we found an active factory we found contentment and prosperity. The houses in fresh coats of white paint with green shutters, the lawn smooth and green, the flower beds ablaze with color. And why not ? According to a study made recently by the National Association of Manufacturers, a typical factory means an investment of $975,-00- 0 and an annual payroll of $180,000 which is largely spent in the community itself. Such a payroll supports 33 retail stores with sales of over half a million dollars a year. It makes possible the sale and servicing of 320 automo biles. It accounts for 393 occupied nouses ana a school house of 22 rooms It means a livelihood, not only for the factory workers themselves and the storekeepers from whom they buy, but supports approximately 24 pro- lessionai men ana meir iammes; tors, dentists lawyers and ministers. s It also means the support of the ers of 6,600 acres.

The trend against special burdening of chain stores when local tax revenue is needed ooDoea up again the other day when a Superior court killed a municipal tax on chain outlets in Columbus, Ga., just as a Supreme court in the same state a year ago invalidated a similar city act that carried a higher scale of the same kind of taxes. William D. Wors- ley, Columbus city attorney, agreed that the decision "knocks out this Rvtem of taxine1 chain stores." Judge W. E. Thomas of Valdosta, Ga., grant-- ; ed an injunction against enforcement of an ordinance that called for a sliding scale, up to $400 per store, that was in the nature of a moderation of a bill previously killed, that scaled up to $1,200.
