NEW YORK, March 9 lP = I'm
bridled speculation in the common
stock of General Motors corporation,
which went "over the top" for the sixth
consecutive session with "a gain of 1925
a share to $15975, started wild orgy
of buying in other speculative issues
on the New York stock exchange today
which carried the days sales to 81
7O6,5OO shares, the second largest in
history. Extreme gains ranged from
SO to $17.25 share, but many were
cut down by profit-taking.
At the close of the market tonight
the average of 20 leading industrial is
sues, compiled by the Associated Press,
was lust 1-5 of a point below the
record high for all times established
on the first day of trading this year
Fhe gain in General Motors today
added $163 $4,000 to the market value
of 17,4OO,OO0 shares of common stock
outstanding, bringing the appreciation
in aggregate quoted value during the
last week to $358,875,000. AT today's
closing price of 1924, the market value
of all General Motors common OUT
standing was $2,77O, $4,000, contrast
ing with it's par value ($25 share) Of
only $435 5OOOO00 Today's sales Of the
stock were 506,400 shares, making the
total transactions during the past week
in excess of 2s500yO00 shares.
Two factors were behind the sensa-
tional buying movement today, the u1l-
expected decrease of more than $26,-
600 900 in federal reserve brokers ldan
and the announcement that the Man
ayers Securities company, owned by
General Motors executives, had pur-
chased 100000 shares of General Mot
ors stock during the past week for
30,000,O00 in cash or approximately
$3.50 share.
Competitive buying for the stock de-
veloped between spectators who re-
garded the purchase of the large block
at the recent high prices as an indica-
ton of the executives confidence In
the future of the corporation and bear
traders who have been hammering the
stock ever since the announcement OF
the new Ford models on the theory
that the competition provided there
from would materially reduce General
Motors earnings.
Names of about dozen prominent
men were being widely mentioned in
Wall street tonight as among the big
winners in General Motors. At the
top of the list was William c. Dutant
who formerly headed the corporation
and is reported to have cleaned up
upwards Of $1O,OO0,0OO in General Mot
ors during the past two years. Arthur
w. Cutten, of Chicago, who is under
stood to have given up trading in grain
in which he ysas a big figure, and de-
voted himself exclusively to stocks, is

Toxic. June 4 UP)-Official
circles today did not believe the
assassination attempt against Chang
Tso Lin at Mukden could be consid-
cred an over-serious incident, the
United Press was advised.
The war minister in an interview
with the United Press said that
early reports indicated the situation
vas not such as could be called
extremely dangerous.
The assassination attempt was
within japanese territory--along the
railroad-but the war minister re-
fused to discuss whether Japan
could be held responsible. Officials
desired more advices and details OF
the ASA ssination attempt before
discussing this phase of the situa-
ton.
1t was learned, however. that the
Japanese counsel general at Mukden
had ordered all of the japanese
within the walled city of Mukden-
the inner city wherein Chang Tso
Lin lives-to take refuge immedi-
ately within the south Manchurian
railroad zone, which Is controlled by

Perkins, chief executive there told
reporters that many persons had re-

There was something Lindbergh-

Of the flight.
! Evades Press
Under the disguise she had evad-

sought to interrogate her about the
trials Of the big tri-motored Fokker
monoplane which she and her COM
panions were testing out at the East
Boston airport.
And when the time for the hopoff
came she showed some OF the fam

friends were present and they had
been pledged to secrecy. Even the

Well Educated
Miss Earhart came to the Denison

MIA. She had prepared for college
at the Ogontz school in Philadelphia
and had studied at Columbia. Har-
ward and the University Of Califor-
| MIA.
She had been flying since 1918
and enjoyed the distinction OF hav-

granted an air license by the Ma
I tional Aeronautic association. She
received her certificate as pilot In
1928 after a few months flying. In
her final test fight at Los Angeles
she gained an altitude OF 1900 feet.
At present she is a member OF the
staff of the Denison airport at
S4uantunl.
Her friends describe Miss Earhart
as a hard worker with a quiet and
kindly sense of humor. She is inter-
ested in almost every kind OF out
door sports, likes to dance and to go
Ito the theater but doesn't drink COT
lfee nor smoke cigarettes.
In person she is slight. falr com

she had not been advised that Byrd

Meanwhile in New York Byrd con-

Commander BYRD issued a state
ment at New York in which he said:
Il believe that the flight OF the
three-engined plane that will fly
with one engine dead, which is
equipped with floats for landing in

neering effort. I wish the pilot and
crew good luck and success, and
have confidence in the courage and
ability Of the personnel"
Byrd explained that he had not
announced the sale OF the plane
sooner. because it was made with
the understanding that, regardless
of circumstances, it was to be kept
secret"
How well the secret was kept II

CENTS OR PENNIES, WHICH7

Penny" is not the official desig-
nation o fany coin minted by the
United States. 1t is merely a COLO
quial and popular name for the Am
erican one-cent piece. The applica-
ton of penny to the cent, however,
dates back. to the beginning of our
money system.
Until after the Revolutionary war
the English penny circulated fraely
in this country. Although one-cent
pieces had been previously coined by
several of the states, the word "cent"
did not appear officially in connec-
tion with federal coin until 1856.
On August of that year the CONT
mental Congress passed law which
prescribed Gents: The highest cop
per piece, of which 100 shall be
equal to the dollar" This same law
also prescribed mills: The lowest
money of accompt, of which 1000
shall be equal to the federal dollar,
or money unit"
On October 16, 1856, it was or
dained by Congress, "That no for
eign copper coin whatsoever, shall
after the first day of September,
1887, be current within the United
States of America" This law remov-
ed the English penny from circula-
tion in this country, but the name
penny" was transferred to our cent
