THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1930. Cc—5 [OE AND SNOW LASH 20 STATES IN WEST Three Dead Are Reported in Wake of Storm Raging From Texas to Montana. By the Assoclated Press. KANSAS CITY, January 9.—A win- | try symphony sounded again today over some 20 States of the Midwest, South- west and Rocky Mountains, the organ | notes of a roaring Northern gale sound- | ing a accompaniment to the whistle and beat of snow, sleet and cold rain which swept for the third succes- sive day over mountains and prairies and advanced farther south and east. ‘The Arctic melody became a dirge yesterday, as three deaths attributed to the storm were reported from Missouri, Oklahoma and Colorado. A multitude of traffic accidents causing injuries to occupants of motor cars also was re- Loss of Live Stock Is Feared. Heavy losses of live stock were feared a8 far south as Austin, Tex., with the storm and ice still advancing toward the gulf. At Henrietta, Tex., 2 inches of solid sleet covered the ground, a record in the annals of the Weather Bureau. Subfreezing temperatures prevailed at El Paso, with snow falling. With a minimum temperature of 13 degrees at Amarillo the mercury still was falling this morning. At Okmulgee, Okla., 300 persons at- tending a revival meeting fled from a frame tabernacle not more than a min- ute before the roof, weighted down by tons of sleet and snow, crashed to the floor of the auditorium. The congrega- tion was warned by creaking timber In the upper reaches of the Rocky Mountain range, where the storm origi- nated over the week end, subzero tem peratures were the rule. Miles City ‘Mont., reported 16 degrees below zero and Glasgow, where yesterday the mer- cury touched the minus-40 mark, this morning still crackled under a tempera- ture of 15 below. Snow still swirled over Montana, Wyoming and parts of Colo- rado. ‘The Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois and portions of a half dozen other States today heard the weather man pronounce sentence of at least another day of snow. Eight inches of the feathery blanket lay on the ground here, drifting and covering the streets as fast as emergency crews of snow sweepers had passed. Airplane schedules virtually were aban- doned over the Southwest and Western mountain routes. Only one plane left here yesterday for Chicago and none arrived from any direction. The same conditions prevailed in St. Louis. Bus lines were running late and in some cases canceled schedules entirely. Railroads were comparatively unham- pered. Only three of the trunk line roads running through Kansas City re- ported trains delayed by the storm. The three deaths reported were those of James Akeridge, 10, killed in Elk City, Okla., when his sled was struck by a skidding motor car; Grant Owens, 60, Grand_ Junction, Colo., whose car plunged off an icy trail west of there, dropping 200 feet, and Mrs. Elgie Brown, 24, Fordland, Mo., killed when cars of two snow-blinded motorists collided near her home. ASKS CASE DISMISSAL. R. C. A. Attorney Feels One Court Decision Is Sufficient. WILMINGTON, Del, January 9 (#). {—Word has been received from Wash- ington that John W. Davis, attorney for the Radio Corporation of America, has filed a motion that the Federal Trade Commission dismiss the case of the commission against the Radio Corpora- tion of America in the matter of certain restrictions in the sale of radio tubes. ‘The grounds for the request are based on the fact that the corporation has been enjoined by the United States Dis- trict Court of Delaware from putting the matter in complaint to practice. Davis, it is said, declared that the United States District Court of Dela- ware has done all that is necessary.

GUARANTEED KLEIN SEES DANGER OF BUSINESS WASTE Assistant Commerce Secre- tary Advises Retailers to Pre- vent Needless Trade Costs. By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, January 9.—Retail busi- ness was advised Tuesday by Dr. Julius Klein, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, to study its affairs during 1930, with a view to locating items of preventable waste and to keeping better records. Speaking before the National Shoe Retallers' Association, Dr. Klein urged & closer tab upon the costs and func- tional details of selling. Quotation From Address. “It has been reliably estimated that an average of nearly 1,000,000 mer- chants—wholesalers, jobbers and retail- ers—do not make adequate systematic analysis of their business problems,” he said, giving this to mean that business heads “are so preoccupied With the im- mediate necessities of selling goods that they cannot study carefully the funda- mental factors which determine the suc- ces:n::r failure of every business estab- ot Pointing to problems of hand-to- mouth buying and “the larger, far graver issue of actual hand-to-mouth existence,” the Assistant Commerce Sec- retary cited a recent experimental di ACIDINE tribution census of 11 representative cities which developed that approxi- mately 28 per cent of the independent retallers were doing a gross business averaging less than $7 a day for this group. One can appreciate, he said, why the storekeeper operating on such a precarious margin could give no thought to the study of secondary problems. Selling Problems Important. “And this particular juncture in our business history makes such analyses of our selling problems of imperative importance,” Dr. Klein continued. “The stabilization program so auspiciously inaugurated under the President's in- spiring leadership last month involves not simply the launching of great con- struction programs by public utilities and governmental agencies. It involves above all a commanding obligation on the part of each individual business agency in the country to study its af- fairs, to ferret out every single item of preventable waste and, above all, to keep better records.” Helpful Attitude Stressed. “I would most emphatically not wish to be understood as offering this in any spirit of destructive criticism of our dis- tributors,” he said, adding that “the only helpful, constructive attitude is that of encouraging the study of the practices of conspicuously successful merchants. “To the retaller, therefore, who is far from ready to submit supinely to trade difficulties, the outlook for 1930 is one of opportunity for intensive, careful study.” TESTING NéW POLICY. Soviet to Enforce Demand for Max- imum Grain Production. MOSCOW, January 9 (#).—To insur the maximum yield of grain this the Soviet government decided Tuesday to appoint special vigilance brigades of officials to enforce the new regulation for expansion of agriculture, ‘These brigades will consist of one judge, one militiaman and one inspector in each agricultural district. They will be most active in regions where the Ku'h:‘l(‘c tul‘ rich peasant population is eatest. Additional brigades comprising scien- tists and agricultural experts will be dispatched to the agricultural centers to give the peasants advice on most ef- fective means of developing the soil. .

It doesn’t announce its presence to its victims. Consequently it is the last thing people suspect themselves of having——buz ir ought #0 be the first. For halitosis is a definite daily threat to all. And for very obvious reasons, physicians explain. So slight 2 matter as a decay- ing tooth may cause it. Or an abnormal condition of the gums. Or fermenting food particles skipped by the tooth brush. Of minor nose and throat infections. Or exe cesses of eating, drinking and smoking. Intelligent people recognize the risk and minimize it by the regular use of full strength Listerine as a mouth wash and gargle. Night and morning. And between times before meeting others. Listerine quickly checks halitosis be- cause Listerine is an effective antiseptic and germicide which immediately strikes at the cause of odors. Furthermore, it is a power- ful deodorant, capable of overcoming even the scent of onion and fish. Keep Listerine handy in home and office. Carry it when you travel. Take it with you on your vacation. It is better to be safe than snubbed. Lambert Pharmacal Company, St. Louis, Mo., U.S. A. t COOLS while you shave and the coolness lingers!
