ARlllll HARDING

ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla, Feb. 11.—
J‘he nuadriennial rtide wave of office-
scekers and advice givers that always
engulfs a president-elect on the eve
of his inauguration is risllg steadily
about “'arren G. Hardltlg's headquar-
ters here. Screened away from Mar-
lon by the conferences ,0! "best
minds.‘ and then held at bay for
thlee weeks while Mr. Harding was
on, his vacation. the rush of the job-
hungry and the hobby riders pro-
miscs now to assume the proportions
of a deluge. \

\‘Vith just three weeks remaining
{More the advent of the new admin-
istration. more than one of the aspir-
ing is becoming less and less confident
of his prospects. and is taking his
case. into his own hands with a cer-
tain touch of desperation.

Of course. many of those who have
engagements to son him have been
summoned for consultation on very
serious problems. but the president-
elcct prides himself on being a good
listener. and he wants to be. accessible
to everyone. Conscquettly a goodly
proportion of the people he feels com:
pellcd to see are those who want
something for themselves or for their
friends who insist on presenting their
case even though the selection of a
Cabinct and the preparation of an
inaugural address must sit.

Despite the influx of ’isitors. how‘
ever. Mr. Harding ex is to keep a
portion of each day r work of his
own choosing and another period for
exercise.

The president—elect came back from
his vacation in fine spirits and ap-
parently ill perfect condition physi-
cally. As a precaution. howeverxhis
physician. Dr. E. C. Sawyer. of Mar-
ion. who has accompanied him on

 

every previous trip away from home
since his nomination. is expected to
come to St. Augustine next week to
remain until inauguration.

"The retailer is the keystone be-
tween the producer and consumer."
declard S. C. Maycombes. general
sales-manager of the }Vinchester
Arms corporation. of New Haven. in
an interesting and instructive address
dfilivered yesterday noon at the week-
ly luncheon of the Kiwanis club held
at the Royal James hotel. To show
how valuabe the Winchester company
considers the retailer each~ of the
4.000 agents appointed recently in the
United States is a stockholder in the
concern holding stock valued at more
than $2,600,000.

"Conditions today are not really
bad. It is the lack of confidence
which has caused the consumer to
stop buying. I venture to predict that
the next six months will find a short—
age of manufactured products.”
Continuing. Mr. Maycombers con-
sidered the labor situation saying that
the wages paid :to labor should go
down. but should be chuced grad-
ually. The conservative element of
labor which comprises 75 per cent of
the total. according to Mr. Maycom-
bers. are willing to accept a cut.

Mr. Maycombcrs .described the
cycle of business telling how it con-
sisted of the manufacturer. Jobber.
retailer and consumer. He explained
that the lack of confidence of one.
would result in a similar feeling of
the others. . . _

Describing the recent reduction in
prices. Mr. Masco'mbcrs said: “When
prices were at the highest level. the
banks became wary and refused to ex-
tend any further credit. This resulted
in retailers liquidating their stock
by reducing prices. The consumer
refused to buy hoping for 0. further
cu't: whereupon the retailer refused
to buy from ‘ih'e jobber and he. in
turn. had to limiidat‘ h‘ilj'tock. In
turn the- manufacturer was hit with.
the same situation andsru forced .to
cut down his forking force to a min-
Wadi

ceased. It is just the some old cycle
of things based upon lack of confl-
dencc."

“It rests with the retailers to re-
store confidence. They should bu)y
merchandise to sell. not to hold for
speculation and go out and seek a
market. The manufacturer should
aid him in this endeavor." '

The talk was very instructive and
filled with blunt truths which were
approved by the large attendance of
Kiwanis members and guests who
were present. A number of the
guests were from out of town.
Another feature. of the meeting.
was the rendition of a number of
songs by the Lotus Qilartcttc. As at‘
the Masonic con<|~rt. the ouartette
made a big hit and were encorcd
many times. .

Ashworth of the l'nited States cus-
toms scrvicc today said he is trying
to interpret latest prohibition rulings
so that. trans-Atlantic liners and for-
cign ships with bars may touch at
American ports without violating the
law.

ll.—Cllicf

“The matter will l-(quire several
(lays‘ study." Asliu'orth said.
Meanwhile. foreign ships carrying

bars wil ibe allowed to enter Amer-
ican ports with their bars sealed.

A strict enforcement of the Vol-
stcad lav: would prohibit any Shir
entering the three-mile limit with a
bar or liquor aboard. it was cxplaincd
today at tht" .l'ustir‘i‘ dcpartment. This
is under Attorney General Palmer's
newest prohibits the movement of
ruling that the \‘olstcad law
liquor anywhere within the jurisdic-

tion of the 17nited States except.
through the Panama calla]. Palmer
pointed out that the United States'
jui‘isdiction extends in three miles

from its’ shores. I’almcrs’ ruling was
intended to imply cspccially.to liquor
“in transit" from one foreign country
to another but passing through he
l'nitcd States. It will also apply to
American ship! Flying between two
foreign ports. '

Ashworth pointed out this ruling
"seems" to conflict with a. previous
one. under which ships could enter
the United States with liquor provid-
ed it was sealed outside of the three’
mile limit. 4 ’

“In‘ ordinary procedure.” said Ash-
worth. "the most recent ruling always
revokes previous ones. If that is the
case in the present situation. it would
seem that. we. should have to exclude
all ships with bars and" liquor aboard.

"I'belleve. however. that. a way
can be found to reconcile the appar-

nt contradiction in the two rulings.

work in South Norwalk during his
pastorate. which resulted in the pay-
"loaf of the mortgage debt of the par-
ish .thc esteem in which he was held
by the people of South Norwalk. and
extended the_best wishes of the par-
ishioners of St. Joseph’s for a success—
ful pastorate in “'estport. and hand-
ing a check. the amount of which has
been stated was five. hundred dollars.

In response. Father Carroll express-
ed his'gratitude and appreciation for
the remembrance. and stated that
while he was very proud of his work
in South Norwalk. he sincerely felt it
was due to the generosity and contin-
ued oil-operation of the people of St.
Joseph‘s that had brought about so
successful a result. He asked the com-
mittee to convey to the donors his
thanks for the gift and to tell them
he would always be pleased to see
them in Westport.

the committee. in addition to those
mentioned above. were:
