MEN ARE ACCUSED OF LATE SHOPPING Are Worse Offenders Than Women at Christmas, Ad Club Is Told. ‘Men are worse offenders than w.men In putting off their Christmas shopping until the last moment, Sylvan King, chairman of the Shop Early-Mail ‘Early Committee of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association, told the Washington Advertising Club at a luncheon yesterday in the National Press Club. The shop early movement originated with women, King said, and they co- operate fairly well. “But unfortunately,” he added, “this splendid movement has not penetrated the consciousness of many men. They still seem to put off their purchases until the last possible moment. We, therefore, especially wish to call the attention of the men at this luncheon and those tuned in on this radio broad- cast, to the fact that there are only 22 shopping days before Christmas.” Postmaster W. M. Mooney described the annual Christmas rush in handling letters, cards and packages and advised that all local cards and letters be mailed out not later than the Saturday before Christmas to be assured timely delivery. One of the major causes for mail delay, he said, is the failure to wrap| properly Christmas packages. This often results in breakage or neces- sitates rewrapping, he told the Ad Club members. He asked that tiny envelopes and cards not be used, since they have to! be postmarked by hand. Whether postal clerks will have the | opportunity of eating their Christmas dinners at home with their families depends on the co-operation of citizens in mailing early, Postmaster Mooney declared. President Norman C. Kal of the Ad Club made a brief Thanksgiving eddress and introduced the speakers. INFLATION EVILS CITED BY SPEAKER Economist Sees Rocketing Prices and Stagnated Business if Congress Acts. Rocketing prices and stagnated business will result if the next Con- gress attempts currency inflation. it was declared Monday nhight by Carl Fast, New York economist and adviser to depar{m(‘ 1t store merchants, in an address on “The Only Recovery” at Southeastern University. “The consumer must Teceive more goods per dollar, not more empty dol- lars, if recovery is to return,” Fast said in the first of a series of lec- tures under auspices of the Y. M.C. A. College. “The gap between wage and price levels must be bridged.” To restore prosperity, he asserted. it will be necessary to lower distribu- tion and servicing costs in the field of business and to lower taxes and the cost of government. He said the American people are asking the | Federal Government to “do too much” for them. The States must do their part, he said, and so must communities and individuals. Fast declared the depression really began in 1914, but was halted by outbreak of the World War. He said he predicted the depression in a book he published in 1917 on “The Coming Credit Crisis.” He laid the blame for the collapse to the mount- ing costs of distribution of goods— due to what he termed “parasitical appurtenances of the merchandising system.” In the latter category, he said, were “too many retail stores, too many unnecessary labor and over- head costs.” The lecture was open to the general public, but succeeding lectures will be for those enrolled in the uni- versity's special course on “Recovery Realities.” The second lecture will be given tonight. e JUDGES SPEED CASES In an effort to clear the jury dockets at Police Court, judges have been presiding on their regular as- signments and also taking over jury trials almost every day during the past week. At present, the docket is about 100 cases behind and in their efforts to expedite matters, the judges have been calling three jury panels each day. SPECIAL NOTICES.

HE French budget for national defense, exceeding $800,000,000, was approved by the Chamber without discussion. This is a record, because the French Chamber is the most vociferous insti- tution in the world. The Deputies make long speeches at the slightest provocation, and the round sum of $800,000,000 would have given in ordinary times enough reason not only for fiery oratory but even for fist fights. The most remarkable thing in these proceedings was that Edouard Herriot, the leader of the Socialists and the champion of pacifism in France, de- nounced Laval's pacifism and urged the Chamber to vote these credits, not only because he is a member of the cabinet but because he realizes that France must be strong. The switching of Herriot to the “big army” idea was the getermining factor which pre- vented any opposition to the new na- tional defense budget. Pact Talk Dies. The assassination of the former For- eign Minister Louis Barthou seems to have put an end, temporarily at least, to the plans of an Italian-French rap- prochement. Laval, who succeeded Barthou, had announced that he in- tended to follow his predecessor’s poli- cies and that he would go to Rome some time this year. But nobody talks about that visit any longer. The French are worried about po- litical developments early next year, when the Saar plebiscite will be held. They cannot afford to alienate the sympathy and the support of the Yugo- slav government. Mussolini, on the other hand, is fed up with the antics of the Bel- grade government and has decided to support Hungary, which Yugo- slavia wants to make the scapegoat for the Marseille assassination, even at the price of postponing the possibility of an understanding with France. Mussolini has promised the Hun- garians his support against Yugoe slavia in the same manner the Rus- sian government had promised to sup- port Serbia against Austria in 1914. As long as the question of making Hungary the scapegoat for Alexander's murder, there is little chance of France and Italy getting together. Hull Money Speculation. Now that Secretary Cordell Hull is mentioned as a possible Nobel prize winner for promoting the peace idea diplomats are speculating whether the Secretary of State will do the same as the late French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand did with the prize money, which amounts to about $40,000 Briand had no confidence in banks and investments. His theory was that he preferred to spend the money himself rather than let bankers or promoters spend it for him. So, when he received the Nobel prize, over @ million francs in Prench currency, he put it in a safe, in 1,000~ franc bills, and took out as much as he needed. Athens, although in difficult finan- cial circumstances, has spent $700 on an album of pictures of the ancient city, and its mayor took it to Rome to present it to Il Duce. Mussolini received the representative of the Athenians with due considera- tion, expressed his great admiration and love for the cradle of civilization and gave the mayor a nice state dinner. The newspapers featured the visit, but hastened to add that Italy is in a difficult financial position, too, and cannot float any foreign loans, re- gardless as how safe they may be. Swiss Woo Tourists, One of Switzerland’s main in- dustries is the tourist trade, which has been severly hit by the fact that Switzerland, being still on the gold standard, the number of the Ameri- can and British visitors has diminished in an alarming proportion. The Swiss innkeepers appealed to the government, pointing out the un- favorable rate of exchange of the pound and the dollar might drive them into bankruptcy. The Swiss government has given them permission now to exchange the British pound sterling at a higher rate than the official quotation. Thus while the pound is quoted at the Geneva stock exchange at 15 francs British visitors to Switzerland can exchange it at their hotels for 16.50. il e UTILITY HEADS PRAISE NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING Georgia Public Service Commis- sion Told of Value to Sell- ing Merchandise. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, November 28.—The tes- timony of two utilities executives that “highly satisfactory” results were ob- tained through using newspaper ad- vertising to sell merchandise was be- fore the Georgia Public Service Com- mission yesterday. The commisison heard the two ex- ecutives yesterday at a hearing on gas rates. The two were W. W. Winter, general manager of the Atlanta Gas Light Co., and E. J. Stern, division manager of the properties of the Central Public Utilities Corp. outside of Atlanta. “Competing with other services, it is necessary for us to get our story be- fore the public and we use a great deal of newspaper advertising and with highly satisfactory results,” said Win- ter. “Newspaper advertising has done us lots of good in increasing the sale of applignces and the consumption of gas and making for a continuing in- crease in the use of gas.” Stern said “newspaper advertising is our main medium of advertising and we have used it to build up our sales. The results have been splendid.” THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, : 3 x LT B e ———————————————————————————————— NEEDY T0 GET F[][]l] Church Schedules Include ON THANKSGIVING Churches Plan Services. Schools and Offices Close for Holiday. Conforming to the popular custom which dictates that the President by special proclamation shall set aside & day for natiopal thanksgiving, fixing the date thereof, but which also dictates that this date shall be the last Thursday in November, Washing- ton and the Nation tomorrow will ob- serve Thanksgiving day, 1934. It took more than 200 years for custom to settle on the last Thursday in November, it was recalled as the Nation_ prepared to give thanks to- morrow “for what has already been achieved.” As late as 1863 President Lincoln ordained an August Thanks- giving, which was observed on Thurs- day. August 6, of that year. The Continental Congress, according to record, appointed no less than eight days of thanksgiving, which occurred in April, May, July and December. Services in Churches. Special services of thanksgiving will be held by most of Washington's churches tomorrow, many of them holding union services. Many Federal employes, released from their offices at 1 pm. today, will spend tomorrow with relatives in nearby States. The District government and all Federal departments, except Agriculture, will release all employes who can be spared from their duties this after- noon. The 90,000 public school stu- dents, leaving their class rooms at 1 o'clock today, will not return until Monday. The Thanksgiving weather is prob- lematical, but there probably will be occasional showers today and tomor- row over most of the Eastern United States, with continued mild weather, the Weather Bureau forecast. The normal procession of highs and lows across the country from west to east has been completely broken up, it was explained, and the weather map is “complex beyond imagination,” mak- ing an accurate forecast almost im- possible. Needy to Be Fed. Baskets of food for 300 needy fami- lies in the city will be distributed at 2 pm. today at the Central Union Mission in preparation for its usual Thanksgiving day program. Rather than disappoint the families on its list, the mission is creating a | sizeable deficit to meet all its Thanks- | giving day demands, Superintendent | John S. Bennett said yesterday, for the Thanksgiving appeal for funds fell considerably below its objecu\e‘ this vear. In addition to the baskets | of food the mission will serve a special dinner to 600 transients at its men'’s quarters tomorrow. ‘There will be roast pork instead of turkey. but | plenty of “trimmings” to make a hearty meal. | The 40 or more boys and girls of | the Children’s Emergency Home, under Mrs, Bennett, will have a turkey din- | ner at the home tomorrow, special | provision having been made for them by the Women's Board of the mission. Volunteer workers will be on hand | this afternoon to help distribute the | baskets of food. Each basket will contain & dinner for a family of five persons. Including the dinners for the men, the mission estimates its Thanksgiving relief activities this year will extend to approximately 2,100 needy persons. Turkey in Hospitals. ‘Turkey, chicken, dressing and trim- mings were to be served in most of ‘Washington's hospitals. At Tubercu- losis Hospital a traditional New Eng- land Thanksgiving dinner was in order. A turkey dinner was planned at the Home for the Aged and Infirm and chicken dinner at the Industrial Home and the Industrial Home School for Colored Children. Welfare, fraternal, religious and charitable organizations are planning to see that none of Washington’s needy g0 hungry on Thanksgiving. Thanks- giving baskets by the hundreds are to | be distributed. Churches and Sunday schools, with their aid and welfare | societies, will take an active part in the distribution of baskets. Others will serve free Thanksgiving dinners. Gospel Mission started the distribu- tion today of 450 large baskets of fresh meats, vegetables and fruits, and to- morrow Wwill serve turkey dinners to all who go to the chapel, 214 John Marshall place. The Library of Congress will observe its holiday schedule tomorrow, remain- ing open from 2 to 10 p.m. Libraries Closed. ‘The central building of the Public Library at Eighth and K streets, and all branches and sub-branches will be closed all day, according to Dr. George F.

ROOSEVELT URGED 10 SCRAP HOUSING Real Estate Expert Says Low-Cost Plan Perils New York Trade. President Roosevelt has been urged by Joseph P. Dey, wealthy New York real estate expert and operator, to scrap the idea of a Federal low-cost housing plan for New York City on the ground it would throttle private building industry there. Day recently wrote the President that the proposed $2,000,000,000 Fed- eral housing program would be a death blow at private capital and initiative in the building field. His latest letter to Mr. Roosevelt attacks the plan as it would apply to New York City. “Perhaps Secretary Ickes' ideas are quite all right for other places,” Day declared. “For nstance, I can see that if it be desired to move poverty- stricken farmers from poor land onto choice land, say in the Tennessee Valley, then it is desirable to build houses for them to be purchased on the easy payment plan. I say this so I will not be regarded as just a con- firmed ‘againster.’ Offers Four Suggestions. “While there may not be a private building industry in the Tennessee Valley, or in other rural places, to be injured by a Government project, yet we know that in the City of New York there is a great private building in- dustry to be ruined by a Government building project.” Day's plan for improving housing | conditions in New York contains four {suggemom One proposes that Langdon Post continue the condemna- | tion of insanitary and dangerous ten- ements. Another urges that it be made easy for the private owner and builder to build on, or purchase, the land on | which the demolished buildings stood. Supports Moffett Plan. Day also declared Federal Housing | Administrator Moffett should be en- | couraged in his efforts, but it should | be made possible for him to operate | in New York City by having Congress | remove the limitation of the number of rooms in a home on which a mortgage may be guaranteed. In ad- dition, he said, Congress should in- crease the amount of the individual loan they may be guaranteed. At present, he declared, the largest mortgage that may be guaranteed is | $16,000, and “that is manifestly useless | for the slums or for anything but far outlying land.” The fear of Government competi- tion, Day explained, keeps private builders in New York from rebuilding on the slum-cleared sites or from pur- chasing and demolishing themselves the outworn buildings. B — Seeks Reno Divorce. Mrs. Pearl Gray of this city has filed suit for divorce in Reno, Nev. against Dr. Hugh F. Gray, Washing- ton physician, according to an Asso- ciated Press dispatch. She charges cruelty. The Grays were married in the Capital in January, 1915, and lived at 1517 P street. Turn your old trinkets, jewelry " and watches into MONEY at A.Kahn Jne. Arthur J.

At present, all calls above 40 per month cost 5 cents apiece. In future they will cost 4!% cents. The other difference was to reduce the cost of installing a phone in a subscriber’s home from $3 to $2.50. The new rates ordered by the com- mission and the old rates are as fol- lows: For one-party measured dence service, one-party private branch exchange service, and one- party measured business service, $3.60 for the first 50 calls, 5 cents per call for the next 100 calls, 4 cents per call for the next 50 calls and resi- 3 cents per call for all above 200 | calls. The present rate is $4 each for the first 50 calls, 5 cents each for the next 100 calls, 415 cents each for the next 50 calls, 4 cents each for the next 50 calls, 3}2 cents per call for the next 50 and 3 cents per call for all above 250 calls. The flat rate for one-party resi- dence service, not measured, is re- duced from $4.75 per month to $4.30 per month. For two-party measured residential service the monthly charge is re- duced from $2.50 to $2.25. The charge for calls above 40 per month is re- duced from 5 cents apiece to 4! cents apiece. For two-party measured business service, the monthly charge is re- duced from $3 to $2.70, with no | change in the charge for calls above | 40 per month. A monthly charge of 75 cents for | extensions on private telephones is reduced to 60 cents. For semi-public telephones (nickel- | in-the-slot machines in stores, etc.) the required monthly guarantee is rB= | duced from $1.75 to $1.50. Aggregate Cut About $463,000. The aggregate of these reductions | per annum is estimated at $463,000, while a flat 10 per cent reduction on monthly bills would add up to about $441,000 per annum, it was estimated.
