By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, December 21.—Despite the depression, “visions of sugar plums” and of other sweetmeats will continue, with good reason, to permeate dreams of young Americans on the nights be- ilore this Christmas, just as they always ave. For the Nation’s candy industry, ‘whose volume consistently has held up within 20 per cent of its pcak of pros- | perous times, anticipates “at least as %gg:l" & Christmas trade this year as in Furthermore, the National Confec- | tioners’ Association believes people this \year are buying candy more with an eye to quality than to price. Because candy is normally one of the last things purchased on the average |person’s Yuletide shopping list, say lead- ers of the industry, it is difficult to es- timate accurately how the holiday trade [in sweets will go.

But judging from reports of some of | the larger manufacturers, the mail order | volume is holding up at least to the | 1931 mark, and a marked tendency to- | | ward the buying of great lots of cand: by municipalities and institutions for | free distribution this year is expected to boost the total tonnage beyond the | €5.000-ton figure of last year. ‘Although the volume of candy sold | | has declined only 20 per cent since the 1929 peak, the “dollar volume” has dropped 50 per cent. The discrepancy | Ls accounted for in the big reduction | oI prices for all sweetmeats. | An example is seen in the price of | .boxed candies, which now average about | ‘50 cents a pound, compared with an average per pound price of between 90 | cents and $1 three years ago. The current average year-around price | for all candies is 18 cents per pound, | with Christmas trade ordinarily rmsmgl | that figure considerably because of the | number of gift packages in the higher- | | priced lines. ‘This season, however, the |large number of big orders for bulk | | candy for charitable distribution is ex- | pected to all but counteract this, so that | | the average may go no higher than 20 | cents, even during the holiday season. Gift Box Trade Spurred. Sales of what the industry calls “fine | package” goods have fallen off more | | than 60 per cent, but enormous increase in 5 and 10 cent individual packages | %l;\”:he last year have helped offset this | That the industry this year has made its greatest efforts to make its higher- priced merchandise as attractive as pos- sible is seen in the numerous “‘double- duty” styles of packages used for boxed | candy. Candy boxes which, after the con- | terts are gone, may be used for make- cocktail been put on the market to stimulate | |interest in the gift-box department of the trade.

Maj. Gen. Andrew Hero, jr., chief of Canit Artillery in 1928, estimated Nel- on’s invention would save the Govern- | ment $1.000000 Y10 years, but the | master cergeant himself has never re- | ceived a reward. There was still pend- ing in Congress a measure ‘to grant Nelson the rank of captain upon his retirement. The device invehted by Nelson is for the control of mines which are placed in groups of 19 and are attached to the shore. It was necessary formerly to have 19 cables and 19 currents for such mines. After years of experimenting, Nelson perfected a service something like a dial telephone, with which only one cable is necessary. Master Sergt. Nelson served as a cap- tain during the World War. He in- vented his device while at Fort Taften, | N. Y., with the Submarine Mine Depot. | He was 58 years old and a native of | Lacrosse. Wisc. He will be buried tomorrow at 10 am. in Arlington Cemetery with full military honors, CLAIM TO TITLE UPHELD Cleveland Baritone Wins Italian| Ruling on Inheritance.
