gin requirements to so per cent
while considered encouraging
failed to stimulate the list to any
great degree.
Motors in Demand
General Motors and ChrySler
were in fair demand at the start
and gained more than a point
each. Profit taking near the close,
however, sent both stocks down
from their highs.
United States Steel and other
industrial stocks gave similar per-
formances. Dupont was a feature
on the upside running UP 3 points
before meeting with resistance
which cut the gain slightly.
Rails Rebound
Railroad and utility shares re-
bounded along with the rest of

of the rails.
Schenley ran into offerings and
receded nearly point unsettling

It's presumed the comptroller did
not want to know much about the
banking situation. As q result the
first call issued last year was for
the condition as Of June 80, the
end Of the fiscal year.
One Of the biggest laughs
we've had in a long time Is the
current story that Lawrence Wood
Robert, jr., better known as
"Chip," was out at the Treasury
Department or was about to get
out.
1t seems that the rumor is all
wet, and If you ask Mr.. Robert
he won't even dignity it by de-
nial. He just laughs in his own
iuimitable manner.
Mr.. Robert, we're told, is in
quite solid. The Administration
likes him and Henry Morgenthau,
jr.; Secretary Of the Treasury,
thinks he's aces.
About q year ago, Mr.. Robert,
when he assumed his job IN
the little cabinet, took on the
mints, the Bureau of Printing
and Engraving and q lot Of other
functions.
Then the Public Works Admin
1stration was formed. Mr.. Robert
has been a consulting engineer
Of note for many, many years
down in his bailiwick. Atlanta,
Ga. He was asked to serve on
tho board to approve plans for
building projects financed with
public works funds. Mr.. Robert
has served and done noble SER
vice, it's said,
However, the Administration
suddenly realized that he was be
ing overworked and asked him
to give up his public works du-
ties. He did. The result was
that a lot Of people started the
rumor that he was out Of the
Treasury Department.
And that's the story.

told to us today by Jack Norton,
of the Norton Mining Company
just locating offices In the Co
lumbar Building.
The theme Is that "thar's gold
In them thar hills" And we
don't mean western hills-we
mean those Of Virginia, around
Fredericksburg and Culpeper.
Mr.. Norton is going to do pros
pecting in big way, trying to
LOCATE some Of the precious metal.
He says that several companies
already are operating mines In
that section and the ore Is as
saying from $50 to $525 q ton.
We ran . story about Clar-
0nce r. Burton, president Of the
Warrington Mechanics Bank,
which soon Is to become THE
City Bank Of Washington" How
ever, it got chopped Oft and q
sequel Is necessary.
II you read the story it was
to the effect that Mr.. Burton
fired q watchman Of q bank he
was running in Reno, New. The
man disappeared and then be-
ran sending cards from various
coast cities saying he was COM
ing to get him. Finally the man
reached Sacramento. BY that
time Mr.. Burton was gong
around with a couple Of six shoot
ers on his hip. And was ne
worried?
However, the story ended right
there, for the man, known to be
A killer, died in the California
capital Of pneumonia.
Mr.. Burton did not jubilate-
he's not that type; but ne Ger
tainly was relieved.

SOONERS PLAN
 NEW BIRD HUNTS
OklahOman Raising 2,50O Ringnecks for State
 SpOrtsmen

Oklahoma City, (UP)-Okla- homa game breeders believe the states nimrods will have pheasant shooting within a year, and are betting thousands of dollars on their judgment.
 Introduction of pheasant shoot ing also will mean the beginning of shooting preserves" in Okla- hunt on them will be proposed in 8 measure to be submitted to the legislature next January, N. F. Hendricks, general manager of several game farms, said to-day. Hendricks is preparing to raise 2,500 ringnecks at his game farms near here, as targets for Okla homa sportsmen, if the proposed law is passed.
 Dr R. E. Selement, Yukon, sev- eral months ago, when president of the Game Breeders Asso sociation, suggested the state lift its ban against pheasant hunting. His proposal was made after the State Fish and Game commission an- nounced it. did not propose to spend any more funds attempting to raise pheasants.
 The staet has spent large sums attempting to raise pheasants, but except in few isolated spots, the birds failed to thrive and soon died out.
 Coyotes and other wild animals, it is believed, destroy hundreds of birds and thousands of nests each year.
