NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Unable to
break the price of United States
Steel common stock below the low
for the bear market made on June
Q at 83h, bears lightened pressure
against the stock market after an
early dip today and prices frmed
up.
Around noon gains of fractions to
a point were in the majority, with
losses Of small amounts in only a
few issues.
The same procedure was noted in
the grain market after wheat had
been driven to new record lows here
and to new lows since 1892 in
Liverpool. Cotton maintained a
firm tone on reports Germany was
ready to take 900, 900 bales of Ameri-
can cotton on credit.
The London stock market was
helped by a recovery in sterling
after the French raid on that eX-
change Wednesday.
Steel Comes Back
United States Steel touched 1874
and came back point from that
level to 84A, where it was up Il
point net. American Telephone rose
to 1864, up % from a low of 1649s.
American Can touched a new low
since 1929 at 885s, and came back
too 895s, up Il net.
Around noon Case was at 531s, up
/, while fractional advances were
recorded in General Electric, Radio,
Vanadium, Union Carbide, Bethle-
hem Steel, Electric Power and
Light, ChrysIer, General Motors,
Auburn, General Foods, Alaska Jul
neau and Anaconda.
Bear pressure appeared to have
lifted from American Telephone,
which had been a target for the last
few sessions.
In connection with the decline in
Telephone, 1t was learned officials
of the company have been watching
the operations Of the bear group in
the issue.
Dividend Is Earned
The telephone people, it was said,
saw in it merely an effort to take
advantage of the feeling Of popular
unrest following the cut in the Steel
Corporation dividend to create
similar feeling in reference to
American Telephone.
Interests close to the company
pointed out that American Tele-
phone had earned slightly better
than its dividend to date and every
indication goes to show that it will
certainly continue its present rate
of earnings if not increase it. The
regular dividend, they said, would
be paid.

Following is the explanation of
Ripley's Believe 1t or MOI" which
appeared in Wednesdays Times:
A Spider Inherited a Fortune
Mile. Dupuy, an accomplished
pianist of eccentric habits, left a
considerable estate, consisting of
cash and two houses, to her pet
spider cts heirs and descendants
in perpetuity." The spider, she
explained, was her faithful COM
panion and the only appreciative
and tireless listener she ever had"
In her lengthy testament, which
abounds in comparisons between
human and spiders patience, to
the advantage of the latter, she
gives the spider credit for her mu-
steal accomplishment. The French
court waived the formality of a
declaration of acceptance on the
part of the fortunate arachnid.

Interchangeable Monies, girl ath-
lete of Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico,
recently has taken up professional
boxing, and is succeeding at it
very well, scoring eleven success
sive victories. She completes with
male opponents and can more
than hold her own with many of
them, as her record of eleven
straight victories indicates. She
is not a clever defensive boxer, as
one might think, but is the real
slugger type, with a knockout wal
lop in either arm. She is also
manager of girls baseball team,
and does all the pitching herself.

Into the clearing, along numerous trails that
seemed to center at this spot, streamed a
strange procession. There were great ox-like
creatures with wide spreading horns, there
were red deer and sloths of gigantic size. There
were naStodon and mammoth and huge ele-

THE big car moved slowly. Nor

green traffic light, did not even no
tice that woman in the rear OF
). the car was staring at her.
There we're other vehicles passing
Norma did not give the limousine
a second glance. She did not rec
ognize the woman, nor did she no.
tice thta the chauffeur, too, was
watching her curiously.
When the green lights flashed
yellow and then to red, she lowered
the two front wheels Of the carriage
to the pavement and crossed to the
other side Of the street.
BY this time the big motor car
was we'll down the block. The wom-
an who had stared at Norma was
leaning forward. She spoke to the
chauffeur sharply.
Drive home at once. Harvey!
I've changed my mind. And hurry
-hurry!"
Abruptly the limousine shot for
ward, Fifteen minutes later it had
halted before F. M. Travers' pala-
tial home. The woman rushed up
the steps into the house.
Where is Mr.. Traverse" she de-
manded breathlessly of the butler.
Before he could answer, she saw
Travers in the room beyond.
Frank" she called. "Oh. was
afraid you'd gone. I'm so glad"
why, what's the matter?"
His wife started to speak, then
glanced over her shoulder and said,
Lets go into your study. II must
sit doWn!"
When they were alone a moment
later she went on eagerly. "I saw
that girl--Norma-on the street!
Oh. know it was she! Harvey
drove directly in front of her. And
Frank, she was wheeling a baby"
Travers' expression had not
changed. I'VE have nothing what
ever to do with that girl" he said.
What difference does it make
where you saw her or what she
was doing?"
But don't you understand? The
baby - 1T must be Marks child!
Somehow never thought of such
thing. If it's a boy, Frank-and
we've never had a grandchildren,
think what it means!"

good will of the public they serve.
 Good will is really only another name for confidence, for if a business concern has the confidence of the commun- ity it has it's good will. It often takes years of fair dealing to build up the great asset of pub lie confidence, yet it may be lost by a few shady transact ions.
 For this reason, everlasting vigilance is required on the part of owners of a business, to see that not only are their own principles and policies sound, but that the spirit of the establishment is carried out by every person connected with it, even to the lowest salaried employee.

American Airways expressed surprise at the Chamber of Commerce meeting that there is no airmail service between Seattle and Juneau. Well he might be surprised, for, as he said, Alaska needs that sort of service and ought to have it.
 MT. McDermond comes from South America where the United States is supporting airmail service. Cuba, Hayti, Porto Rico, the Canal Zone, Jamaica, Trinidad and all the Caribbean Sea countries are supplied with airmail by the United States. Why should Alaska that needs it equally as much not have it? The cost of airmail service between Seattle and Southeast Alaska would be very small matter compar- able with that in the Caribbean Sea region.
 The circumstance that the Alaska Washington Airways, having excellent equipment and a personnel second to none anywhere, is amply prepared to carry mail summer and winter between Seattle and Southeast Alaska, where the company is rendering excellent commercial service, makes the failure to award an airmail contract particularly unfath- omable. If the Alaska-W ash ington Airways, that has given the people three years of ef- ficient work, were given a mail contract it would be able to operate planes on regular schedule and be of far great CT benefit to the country thaR it is now.
 A good Southeast Alaska slogan would be: "We Want Air Mail!"

No Financial Panic

In spite of the general eco- homie breakdown of the past two years, there has been no semblance of a financial panic, such as occurred in 1907 and in other years of depression, according to c. R. Stephenson, president of the American Bankers Association.
 Formerly a marked recession of business resulted in money panics, suspension of specie payments and kindred disast- CTS. None of these elements of a real financial panic has been seen during the present de- pression. The banking struc- ture as a while has not been shaken, in spite of many fail ures of small banks. At all times the banking and credit machinery have been able to extend support to business and manufacturing.
 MT. Stephenson declares that banking and corporate finance in this period of depression are unflinchingly taking their DOT tions of the short rations that the nations need for readjust- ment demands. Interest rates, security yields and corporation dividends have all dropped to levels that constitute drastic reductions in the compensat- ion of capital.
 The greatest public problem today is unemployment, he says, adding that unemploy- ment is the worst wage cut that the worker can suffer, and the worst cause of business stagnation. His conclusion is this:
 "The sooner we can get our masses of workers back to work on almost any terms the better it will be for both cap ital and labor"

The ex- ecutive committee of the local Mining Congress have worked strenuously in assembling this collection and have been loyal ly assisted by claim owners. The collection is representative of the entire district and it is safe to say will compare fav- orably with any district ex- hibit shown at the Chicago ex- position. There are 28 proper ties represented.
 "The tangible property of the Hyder Water Light and Power Company, which be- came defunct last fall through inability to finance the under taking, was disposed of at Marshal's sale this week, be- ing bid in for costs by the heaviest claimant, l.. Holton. The property consisted of wat ar rights on small creek about 112 miles from Hyder across which a concrete dam is built which retains 1,50O,- 900 gallons of water. By add ing a few feet to the height of the dam the capacity of the reservoir could be easily doub- led, but it is estimated that the present supply is ample for a population of 2,000 and the new owner does not contem- plate any changes at present.
