(.Men Get Jump on
‘Wives in Economy,
* i
r Act Sooner as Conditions
Turn Downward.
MINNEAPOLIS.—Husbands start
economizing much sboner than their
wives when economic conditions
turn downward; a sliding off in
sales in men’s wear departments
was the first indication many de
partment stores had that all was
not well in the summer of 1937.
Men are still buying less for them
selves than this time a year ago,
“though the spread is narrower than
in the first six months; several oth
er lines of “prosperity goods” have
also climbed closer to 1937 sales
volumes, according to a third-quar
ter study of luxury and semi-luxury
sales at 236 department stores,
made by Northwestern National
Life Insurance company.
Pianos, whose phenomenal four
year. come-back was checked dur
ing the winter of 1937-38, again show
an actual increase in sales for the
third quarter of 1938, running 3.4
per cent above the corresponding
period of 1937, in the department
sfords5 f ords studied.
Fashion can successfully resist a
depression, the survey states, point
ing to the fact that department store
sales of jewelry registered only
slight declines during the 1937-38 re
cession, in the third quarter were
within 3.3 per cent of the corre
sponding period of 1937, and are now
running practically even with last
year. Style dictates which made
jewelry an essential accessory of
women’s dress have been mainly re
sponsible for the maintenance of
public buying of such items, the
study states.
Home furniture and electric
household appliances both improved
their showing in the third quarter.
Furs, sporting goods and luggage
maintained or increased the mar
gins by which they are trailing their
1937 sales volumes, the report
shows.
Inventories of eight out of the
nine lines covered by the study have
been reduced, and smaller stocks
remain on hand than last autumn.
The sole exception is pianos; in
creased public interest and new de
signs have resulted in a modest in
crease in stores’ piano stocks, the
study shows.
U. S. Opens Farm to Treat
1,000 Narcotic Addicts
FORT WORTH. TEXAS.—A new
$4,000,000 United States public
health service hospital devoted to
non-dangerous narcotic addicts has
been placed in operation with 250
patients. The narcotic farm, a few
miles southwest of Fort Worth, has
no walls, and the directors intend to
give fullest freedom to patients.
“It is the government's policy to
treat addicts as patients instead of
criminals,” said Dr.- W. S. Ossen
fort, who is in charge. “Our prob
lem is making a healthy personality
out of a warped and unstable per
sonality.”
Seventy-five per cent of the pa
tients will be consigned by federal
courts. They will be narcotic ad
dicts who are believed to be harm
less. The other 25 per cent will be
voluntary patients.
The farm will accommodate 1.000
patients. Work is planned on
$1,300,000 worth of new buildings.
The farm will have its own work
shops and facilities for agriculture.
Patients will be kept in dormitories,
and the only restraint will be a
wire fence about the premises. Doc
tors said they anticipated no trouble
from patients leaving the farm with
out permission.
Artificial Pump Devised
To Save Heart Victims
PHILADELPHIA. An artificial
heart and lungs which may save the
lives of victims of pulmonary em
bolism has been designed by Dr.
John H. Gibbon, of the University
of Pennsylvania's Harrison depart
ment of surgical research.
Pulmonary embolism, which ac
counts for 8 per cent of deaths fol
lowing surgical operations, comes
when a blood clot clogs the artery
from the heart to the lungs, and
usually results -in death within 15
minutes.
Doctor Gibbon’s chromium-plated
steel heart and lungs is designed to
perform the functions of the living
heart and lungs while a surgeon re
moves the clot.
No attempt has been made yet to
use the apparatus on human beings,
but Doctor Gibbon told the Medical
Society of Pennsylvania at its re
cent Scranton convention that the
blood of 13 cats had been diverted
through the artificial organs for pa
riods up to 18 minutes without loos
of life.
The apparatus can be attached te
a cat’s blood stream in 10 minutes,
five minutes short of the time is
which pulmonary embolism usuaUy
is fatal.
