THE DAILY HOME NEWS, NEW BRUNSWICK, N. MONDAY, JULY 12, 1937. PAGE SEVEN CONSUMER'S PURSE TESTED TO FIX POWER TO STAND HIGHER PRICES By FREDERICK GARDNER NEW YORK, July 12 test of the power of the consumer's purse to stand higher prices has been in the making as business prepares for autumn moand year-end trade, usually the important half of the year along the retail marts. Bulging with more dollars flowing from higher wages, dividends and farm prices, the bag the same consumers', feelmoney ing the squeeze of rising prices for manufactured goods. Price mark-ups in many lines have been reported in mid-year wholesale markets.

They have touched carpets, furniture, wearing apparel, tools and other manufactured goods." Retail prices on the average have steadily on the upgrade for a year. Larger crops held out prospect for some easing of the strain from rising food costs. But manufactured goods, trade observers reported, have tagged with higher prices to absorb advances in raw materials, wages and other operating costs in the first half of the year. Some authorities looked for an advance in prices on automobiles as a notable landmark of the trend in the final half of this year. Advances May Taper Off Leading speculative commodities, usually the heralds of change in wholesale and retail quotations, have fallen from the early spring heights.

This has been accepted in Anancial quarters as an indication the advance in prices of manufactured goods also may taper before end of the year. Meanwhile, merchants have recognized the consumer, as the ultimate court of appeal, must register his verdict, based on ability to match spending power with the advance in prices. Business has been riding a merrygo-round of rising prices for more than four years, with occasional halts. The advance has made the circuit of raw materials, wholesale and retail prices and wages, with trade steadily mounting to higher levels and industry stepping up production to supply the increasing flow of goods into consumers' hands. How long this spiral can continue Is a question analysts have been seeking to answer in light of the latest wave of price hikes for manufactured goods and rising payrolls and farm income.

Some contend the uptrend in national income more than promises to cover price mark-ups and to carry trade to new recovery peaks when the full force of improvement in farm income is felt next autumn. Others insist the advance in retail prices holds out a definite threat to continuation of gains in trade and production. Still Distance To Go Helping to comfort those who take the gloomy view the fact price indexes for manufactured and semi-manufactured goods still have some distance to go to regain 1929 heights. On the other hand, leading farm and other basic commodities at recent peaks had regained on the average pre-depression prices. Hourly wages in manufacturing Industries, moreover, have topped 1929 figures on the average, according to the National Industrial Conference Board.

Payrolls have been augmented by expansion in employment running back many months. Analysts now are scanning retail the belief the current returns more closely, howeveprice markups may raise trade a to harder surmount stacle for retail in the second half of the year than it had the past six months and in second half of last year.

HITLER FAVORITE A NAZI EMISSARY--If Leni Riefenstahl had been disturbed by the report, later denied, that she had been ordered to. leave Germany because of "non Aryan" blood, the vivacious and handsome favorite of Hitler gave no indication of displeasure when this picture was taken recently in Paris, where she presented an Olympic Games film to the Paris.

E. LONGFELLOW Assistant Director, First Ald and Life Saving, American Red Cross PICNICS AND SWIMMING tions. The number of drowning accidents resulting from injudicious eating just before the swim is problematical, but there is plenty of evidence from reports of life saving experts to indicate that a good proportion of drownings happen when persons enter the water immediately after bolting some article of food, or even while chewing it, because orange pulp, pieces of meat and other food masses have been found clogging the throat of victims subsequently resuscitated. It is a safe bet to have an interval of an hour picnic lunch and the dip going into deep water. wrenc'he So much that goes into a picnic lunch is indigestible, it is to allow at least this time for nature to start its work of digestion, and it is my belief that if the group is wearing wet bathing suits there will not be as much blood available for digestion as there would be if the picnickers dried off and put on dry clothing before sitting down to eat.

A picnic meal should be a leisurely procedure and should be followed by a period of rest, sun bathing, or just stretching and quiet repose. Even if no serious consequences from too soon reentry into the come water, the bather will be more comfortable and enjoy his swim better if he takes the indicated precau- GERMAN PASTOR TRIED ON IMMORALITY COUNT BERLIN, July 12 (P)- German court today considered charges of immorality against Gustav Gareis, an assistant Evangelical pastor who claims Uniteamed citizenship. defendant with He four German youths in a trial at Nurnberg yesterday in a case that been given wide publicity.

Generous local citizens who have contributed to the fund being raised to provide needy and worthy entrants in The Daily Home News Soap Box Derby with wheels may be surprised to learn that there is not 8 wheel assembly in New Brunswick available. New Brunswick merchants who had been able to provide youngsters with the specified wheel assemblies informed Soap Derby officials late last week that the demand for the wheel units has been so great that they have been unable to fill one-half the orders they have received. The situation that prevails in this city is in keeping with conditions throughout the country, for it is understood that in each of the 120 cities where Soap Box Derbies are being staged wheel manufacturers and distributors are unable to supply the demand. Upwards of 50,000 boys throughout the United States are participating in local Soap Box Derbies and from this throng 120 will go to Akron to compete in. the allAmerican event on August 15.

Numbered among the entrants at Akron is a boy who resides in Middlesex or Somerset county. This boy's identity is not yet known, and won't be until The Daily Home News race is run on Saturday, July 24. far 150 boys from the two counties have registered for participation in the local event. Only four days remain before the entry list is closed. William C.

Dunbar, local greeting card publisher, joined other business and professional men in today, this city in helping along the fund for the use of boys unable to purchase equipment for building their racing cars. Dunbar's $5 donation was forto Soap Box Derby headquarters this morning and increased the fund to $35. Other contributions are expected to swell the fund. Soap Box Derby clinics in the playgrounds of the city get under way today with the first of five scheduled for Buccleuch Park at 4 o'clock. W.

F. Van Pelt, auto mechanic supervisor at the Vocational School, will be in charge the clinics. The program has been arranged by Izzy Ringel, playground worker, and has been delegated by Supervisor William Beck to handle playground Soap Box Derby activities. Tomorrow a clinic will be held at the Codwise avenue playground. Wednesday will be a big day in the lives of the second group of 70 who enrolled in The De Daily Home News Soap Box Derby.

N. J. EAGLE DISTILLERY INC. find that a very light breakfast and liquid foods, if any are taken during the swim, are very much better for them than any solid food. They enjoy the big, hot meal which usually includes soup when it is all over and they are dressed and ready to go home.

It is flirting with trouble and swim immediately afterward. Children who are in and out of the water all day need even more hearty food than they get at home in winter. They are exercising vigorously and burning up energy and they need plenty of food and sleep to replace energy so lost. I believe lack of proper food and sleep cause many youngsters to come back from their summer vacation with less weight than when they went to the shore. Just a word about the accessories of the picnic.

Put all the bottles and cans, knives, and forks and spoons back into the basket. If there are no rubbish containers at the beach burn up the paper napkins and plates. If you had a guod time you owe it to your hope of future good times to clean up after you. Many picnickers who leave the beach or parking place strewn with junk should be taken before a judge and sentenced to eat a few meals on the city dump as penance. Their carelessness costs others serinjury and destroys the attractiveness of the peoples' public playgrounds.
