TWO MILLION SHARES CHANGED HANDS ON STOCK EXCHANGE
Professionals Were Thor Oughly Routed, Causing a Semi-DemOralizatiOn at
 Close of the Session
By AssocIsted Press

New York, June S.-The speculative fabric which professional interests have for weeks been weaving on t1e stock exchange was virtually torn to shreds today in session which DOT dered on semi at the close and during which more than 100000 shares changed hands. Illus trative of the violent fluctuations was the movement in American Woolen, which. after rising 19 points to 1SO, crumbled under forced selling to no
 Opening irregular, the market soon relapsed to the extent of to points in certain issues as the result of active realizing, professional selling and apprehension as to the money outlook. The downward movement was subsequently, checked through the aggressive operations of strong pools, this compelling active covering by those professionals who had put out extensive short lines last night and early today in consequence of the stiff money rates ruling. On the re- bound there were recoveries rang ing up to 10 points in various spe- cialties. Standard rails were under rather constant pressure throughout the session.
 Later the money situation became the dominant factor, call loans rising to II per cent, which brought delugs of stock on the market both for the long and short account, under which prices gave way in precipitate fash ion. In many instances the variations between highest and lowest figures of the day exceeded 10 points. Foremost in the slump were Mexican Petroleum, Studebaker, American International corporation, American Coal, Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies and General Motors.
 United States Steel broke from 109% to 1o6H.
 The check in speculation today was declared in some quarters to be a natural sequence to failure on the part of professionals to heed authoritative warnings regarding the danger of ac- tivities. Features regarding the resig- nation of Frank A. Vanderlip as presi- dent of the National City bank were varied and the effect upon the incident to hamper the market.

The boys had surprise when they
all met the next day at the Robinson
house. For Mary Ellen and the twins
had on overalls. And their hair was
tucked out Of sight under b0yish look
ing caps.
Peter didn't like it one bit. But
when he found out that it made no
difference to the girls whether he liked
it or not he decided that it was a very
sensible thing to do. Mary Ellen
looked like a boy but 1t was a great
comfort, to Peter to know that she
wasn't one.
The girls each had a paint brush
and It was also a surprise to the boys
TO see how we'll they could use them.
The boys spilled the paint on the
ground and on each other but the girls
finished their part of the fence be-
fore the boys did and went home to
take on their overslls and shake out
their skirts and smooth out their rib
bons.
When the fence was cleaning
white, Corny went home and got the
lawn mower and he and Hal moved
the lawn while Mr.. Henshawe and the
rest Of the boys carried sand over from
the Henshawe house and made a
sandpile for the three babies and put
o swing under the big apple tree,
Then Mr. Henshawe went home and
the boys stayed to pick every thing up.
Just as they started they heard heavy
footsteps and before they could get
away the man Of the house was glar-
ing down at them!
