YOUTH JUMPS
 AWAY FORTUNE

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 14.-Hal- lowell Lyncy lost all chance for S16,0OO because he is such a good jumper.
 That is, it cost him dismissal of his S16,uc0 damage suit against Bert A Phillips and Mrs. Ceci.e H. Chestnut.
 Hallowell, sixteen, was once one of the best broad jumpers at the Le Conte Junior High School, from which he recently graduated.
 After he was struck by Phil lips automobile on April 24, 1927, his broad jumping ability shranlt from the miraculous to the aver age. Hallowell declared through his attorney In fact he had a hard time jumping at all, he claimed.
 But counsel for the defendants was bit dubious.
 Stand up and show the jury how you CAN'T jump now" Mus- grove asked the youthful plaintiff.
 The boy jumped. It was a good jump. In fact it was very good jump. So good was it that Judge B. Key Sehauer dismissed the case on the grounds that Lynch had failed to show any damages.

Fear rs Guide
In its attitude toward advertis.
ing by member brokers, the New
York Stock Exchange is still
guided primarily by fears. Afraid
to give its associated firms too
much freedom, it adheres to its
policy of tombstone advertising,
which ignores the psychology of
interest and attention.
Gradually the purely mechanical
restrictions will be lifted. The
stock exchange has just announc-
ed, for example, that members
may now advertise active listed
bonds by giving their names
without any accompanying text ex-
cept the phrase. circular on re-
quest"
It would be a mistake to let
down the bars completely and to
permit brokers to fan the specula-
tive flame into a dangerous fire.
On the other hand, there IL no
reason why groups Of brokers col
lectively should be restrained from
advertising in more understandable
terms the functions which they
legitimately serve.

MOTORS AGAIN
LEAD MARKET
BY W. B. Hibbs q Co.
BY international News Service

NEW YORK, March 5.-Strong
and aggressive buying of General
Motors at new high record prices fea-
tured the early trading in the stock
market today. The stock gained 3
points in the first half hour, in an
unusually heavy turnover, in which
numerous 10000 share blocks
changed hands. Hudson, Hupp,
Studebaker, Willy and Packard en-
joyed an active and firm market,
and the movement in United States
Steel common gained momentum in
this period.
Wall Street attributes the move in
General Motors to the activities OF
the most powerful pool that has
operated here for many years, backed
up by amazing performances and un-
expected high earnings OF the big
corporation in the last six months.
The output of Chevrolet and other
popular cars has been so far above
expectation that earnings in the first
quarter have again established a
peak" record. An extra cash divi.
dend in May is confidently rumored
in the financial district.
At 147H, General Motors showed
a gain of eight points since Satur'
days opening. This represents a
market appreciation of about $140,-
100000 on the outstanding stock of
the company, and sets a value Of
$2,500,000, 900 on the 17,400, 900 shares
of stock in the hands of investors.
1t was partly in recognition OF this
fact that Dupont moved up seven
points to the years high price
of $40.
United States Steel resumed the
rally which was in progress at Sat-
urday's close, moving up IN to
1411a in the first hour. The balance
of the market was "selective," with
motors receiving the best support,
and the pool specialties under sell.
