TRADE T0 PROFIT | FROM VACATIONS Sum of $375,000,000, It Is Estimated, Will Be Spent in Play This Summer. BY J. C. ROYLE: €pecial Disputeh to The Star, - NEW YO June 4.—At least $375,000,000 will be spent this Sum- mer and Autumn in preparations for us, according to co nationdl di already are looking for- will close all day Monday in July and August. This concern figures the public is in a better buying mood on Saturday than on other days, The Saturday closing, they say, was taken up to give sales people a better chance to rest up over the week end and that allowing them Sunday and Monday is equally effective for that purpose. Stores in Western cities’ occasion- ally provide their employes with addi- tional rest periods by shortening the working day. In Milwaukee, for ex- ample, 5 o'clock closing is observed in Summer by some merchants. In Chicago, jeboldt stores with 4,000 employes, have just announced they will operate on a T-hour day, opening at 9:30 and closing at 5:30 p.m. A similar procedure will be put ip effect in Baltiniore and Toledo this Year. with the hours éxtending from 9 to 5. Justifies Its Cost. The value of the shortening of .| hours on employe morale has more than jusuned the amount, it cosfs the i fore an {mportant trade factor. THE EVENING -STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, employer, according to some store executives. J. G. Pattee of the New- comb Endicott Co. of Detroit main- tains that a contented employe who works efliciently five days 8 week is worth three dissatisfied employes who are below par for six days a week. These curtallments of working hours in the stores are independent of the fortnight vacation generally allowed each employe, but they un- doubtedly add to the volume of Sum- mer vacation buyving and are th;l;f purchases fur formal vacatione are already exercising an effect on the clothing trades and on sales of sport- ing goods. The garment industry needs all the stimulus it can _obtain from this source since unseasonable weather kept buying this' Spring to a dis couraging. light volume. The women of Alnu, North Japan, admire bearded faces so much that they tattop their own faces to make ‘them appear whiskered.

BALTIMORE, June 4.—Permits must be obtained from the Public Service Commission for the operation of all motor bus and truck lines that use public roads maintained by the State, municipalities or counties, cording to an opinion given the com. mission by the office of the general of Maryland. e The .opinion was' requested by the commission several weeks ago, after bus and truck opertors had contend- ed that permits and speclal taxes ‘were not necessary for operation over dirt roads. ‘The opinion pointed out to the com- missien that any road maintained or repaired by any governmental nc: within the State constituted an im- proved road within the meaning of |iis Iroad “crippled equipment” vestigated by the Public Service Com- the laws requiring {ssuance of per- mits by the commission.

For with many of us, the unpleasant memories of castor oil are still very vivid indeed. What a boon is this discovery of science— a tasteless, odorless castor oil that stays tasteless and odorless. - Developed in the famous Squibb Laboratories, it has banished a real dread from the lives of countless thou- sands of children. If you want a pure and agreeable castor oil, one that will remain both tasteless and odor- less, ask your druggist for the new Squibb’s Castor Oil (Tasteless), and look for the word “Tasteless” printed in red across the label. It has none of the disagreeable features that mark the ordinary product. The entire family will find it easy to take. Always ask for Squibb Household Products when buying requisites for the medicine cab- inet. For nearly seventy years Squibb Prod- ucts have been made to more than meet the exacting demands of the medical profession. You will find Squibb Products on sale in drug stores evervwhere.
