B { A R s RENEW
STOCK RAIDS

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-A new
increase of $57 900, 900 in brokerage
loans in the New York district, as
reported by the Federal Reserve
Board, furnished the confident bears
with a further supply of ammuni-
ton for their raid on stock values
in the early trading today. Indus
trial and speciality stocks were
poured on the market in the first
period, and numerous stocks suf-
fered losses of from / to 3h
points.
In banking circles it was said
that both the $7S,000,000 loss in re.
serves Of the clearing house banks
and the unexpected expansion in
brokers' loans could be more than
counterbalanced by a resort to re-
discounting at the Federal Reserve
Bank, and no great apprehension
was felt over the temporary stfffen-
ing of money following so closely
the huge Treasury receipts and dis.
bursements last week.
For that reason there was a good
backlog of buying orders for the
better grade of industrial stocks at
slight concessions from Mondays
final prices. United States Steel,
in fact, refused to break 142h. its
former closing level and most Of its
sales were at 143 or better. Gen.
eral Motors lost about a point and
promptly recovered. Mack Trucks
and Hudson received much better
support. Warner Pictures A broke
to 4S1S for loss of 3ss. Sinclair
was the weak spot in the oils,
with trading around 20H.
The renewal rate Of 5A per cent
for call money was the highest
since March. Commodity markets
were steady, with grain and cotton
practically unchanged.

AURORA NO BAR
To RADIO

NEW YORK. Sept. 21.-Comdr.
Donald B. Macmillan, famous Arctic
explorer. just returned from a three
months sojourn in Labrador, ex-
ploded several standard theories
concerning radio during these past
few months.
The common idea that the aurora
borealis was a barrier to perfect re-
ception and transmission, Macmillan
put aside by saying: "On nights of
the most brilliant aurora, Paul Nc
Gee, our radio operator, did his best
work. This alone would disprove
the theory that the mere presence
Of the Northern Lights does not
mean poor reception or transmits
sion. Only when the aurora hung
close to the earth did reception be-
come erratic."
Macmillan, while still speaking
of the Northern Lights, told that
natives OF the Far North have often
seen hills or other objects through
the aurora. This. he claims, dis
proves the theory that the Northern
Lights are never nearer them so
miles from the earth's surface.

SAYS
COLLEGE HEAD
By MILLER HOLLAND
international News Service

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 21.-
When a college professor tells the
boys and girls to get busy and
study like the dickens that isn't
news.
It's old stuff.
But when a learned university
president actually opens up and
warns children against burning too
much midnight oil-well,
It's simply unbelievable.
The unbelievable, however, has
happened.
And President w. ". Campbell
Of the University of California is
the man who made it happen.
Don't study too hard Presi-
dent Campbell has advised his
students. Leave time for college
activities and social life"
The university president stressed
the Importance Of campus activi-
ties and campus social life, and
advised students not to overload
their time with more studies than
are required for graduation in the
four year period.
President Campbell also sug.
gested that students who are self
supporting should stay out Of the
university for a period to earn
money rather than attempt too
much while taking regular work.

MAY STABILIZE
EASTER DAY
By F. A. WRAY
International News Service

LONDON, Sept. 21.-Two schemes
for calendar reform are to be put
forward at Geneva this month by
the subcommittee of the League of
Nations which has been studying
the question for two years.
One proposes to equalize the
quarters Of the year by locating
two months OF 80 days each, fol.
lowed by one 31-day month. The
extra day which makes up the year
would either be fixed as a zero day
preceding January l. or would be
added to one OF the months. making
that quarter contain two S1-day
months and one 30-day month. In
leap wear there would be two such
quarters.
The other scheme is that the
wear should be divided int 13 months
Of % days, thus fixing all day
names to permanent dates. The
365th day, which is not provided
for by this division, would be known
as "year day" and would not be
distinguished by a day-name. The
same would apply to leap day.
The committee will also recon-
mend that Easter be definitely fixed
as taking place on the second Sun
day in April, regardless Of the date
upon which that Sunday may fail.
This proposal meets with almost
general acceptance, although some
opposition may come from the
Vatican.

SWAYED
SKYSCRAPERS

NEW YORK. Sept. 21-The
first vivid personal description of
the horrors of the hurricane dis
aster in Miami are told in letter
written by w. o. Kennedy to
Thomson & McKinnon, Wall Street
brokers.
Mx. Kennedy, who represents
Thomson and McKinnon in Florida
arrived in Miami a few hours be-
fore the storm descended upon the
magic city" The letter was for
warded to the Jacksonville office
of the firm and telegraphed here
today. 1t follows:
"I reached Miami from Palm
Beach just two hours prior to the
outbreak of the hurricane and Sc
cured safe quarters in the Halcyon.
MY room was flanked by gables
north and south. and located i'm
mediately over the large veranda
which was covered by a substantial
roof and the latter was protected
by three immense cement pillars.
Naturally felt pretty safe.
From my windows was able
to watch the progress of the hurrf-
cane from its inception to its end,
a period of % hours, with but one
or two brief pauses.
"It would be vain for me to at,
tempt to describe it in its graphical
aspects, but can frankly say 1t
was the most awful thing / ever
saw and the tense moments ex.
perienced during its progress were
the most awe-inspiring periods Of
my life.
THE velocity of the wind at
times was 130 to $50 miles an hour,
and everything unsubstantiaI yield
ed to its pressure.
Larger skyscrapers swayed five
or six feet, and with terrifying awe
I expected to see them totter
momentarily. The roar of the wind
was deafening, and the accompan.
iment of breaking glass, falling
signs, roof tiles, cornices, ETC., etc,
was simply terrific.
There seemed to be no cessation
to the storm and one actually
wondered If the world was coming
to an end
''Sleep was impossible, indeed. I
have not slept for 4S hours and
have had but two cheese sandwiches
and one cup Of coffee since my
arrival.
"Our roof held intact, but the
tiles were spread and the rain
leaked through in torrents. If I
dumped all my clothes, English kit
and all, into a barrel of water,
they could not be more wet than
they are, but, hell, I'm alive, and
wet clothes and an empty stomach
do not worry me.
THE tidal wave swept craft Of
every description in Biscayne bay,
upon the Royal Palm Gardens and
along the bay front, and when the
waters receded, left their wreckage
there, high and dry. Not q strue-
ture of any kind is intact. They
are also water soaked.
There is neither gas nor eIee-
tricity, nor drinking water, except
of the soda water fountain kind.
The populace is subsisting on sand
wiches, and the food supply will
diminish appreciably unless quickly
replenished.

Of ambulances rings in ones ears

GROWING
RELIGIOUS
By WILLIAM s. NEAL

While crime wave is abounding
through the country religious tide
is enveloping Uncle Sans fighting
men.
Church attendance is increasing
remarkably and an era of chapel
building is now under way in the
Army, says Chief Chaplain J. +.
Axton. Navy chaplains report the
same experience.
The trend is regarded as a legacy
OF the world war and is not
checked by the widespread activity
for a greater national defense, AK
ton declared. ARMY leaders are
planning to cite church attendance
figures to support their contention
that the teaching of preparedness
does not create a miIitaristic class
bent on forcing the nation into war.
In searching out the cause of the
20 per cent boost in attendance at
Army chapel services last year
Chaplain Axton went back to Civil
War days. He found that imme-
diately after that war there was
lull in things religious in the Army
and few years later chapels werc
being built at Army posts all over
the country.
THE percentage of officers, their
wives and soldiers attending church
in the Army posts is undoubtedly
much larger than in cities, larger
than 100000" said Chaplain Axton,
land it probably equals the attend
ance in smaller communities.

REGISTRATION AT STATE
UNI NEARS 1000 MARK

Registration records at the
University of Wyoming were smashed
at the opening Of the fall term a
short time ago when the combined
freshmen and upper classmen en-
rollmen totaled 979 at the end of
the fourth day. as compared with
.877 at the end of the same period
last fall. University officials ac-
quainted with late registration sta
tistics of past years. believe that the
total enrolment for the present
quarter will exceed the 1000 mark
within the X few weeks.
In view of the phenomenal growth
of the student body during the last
four years, it was believed in some
quarters that the registration this
fall would reveal only a small gain
but these conservative predictions
were not born out at the very open
ing of the school year when by far
