relation to the wide distribution OF

recovery proponents.

Pivotal shares soon developed quiet
strength and the direction was upward
from then on.
Coppers rubbers, mail orders. spe.
clalties and even the long-neglected
rails were accorded support. Utilities
were unable to get far out in front.
There were one or two soft spots in
the generally firm divisions. Profit
taking was an occasional deterrent,
and many shares closed under top
prices for the day.

SHIFT FROM DIRECT
US. OBLIGATIONS SEEN

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Banks con-
tinued to report smaller holdings OF
direct Government obligations and
larger blocks Of Treasury-guaranteed
bonds of several agencies.
The reason for this shift, financial
quarters say, is that the Government
has been paying of substantial
amount of its OBLIGATIONS every week.
which automatically reduces bank
holdings.
The cash thus received Is reinvested
in guaranteed obligations because Of
the moderately higher yield available.
During the last IL months Federal
Reserve member banks In 101 cities
sold $624.000,000 Of direct Govern
ments, and increased portfolios Of

Gable Fan Is
Also Musician

The subject of this weeks inter-
view is a little blonde sophomore.
Having enrolled in no -curricu-
lar activities, she spends most of
+ her time outside of school at home
where she does a great deal of
reading. She is especially interest
ed in music and is a skillful pianist.
Although she prefers classical mu-
sic, occasionally she plays jazz, Nov.
les are another weakness of hers.
and she definitely states that Sonia
Heinie and Clark Gable are her
favofite stars. She was, by the way.
in a dreamy-eyed state about Mr..
Gable when she was rudely brought
back to earth, or rather, back to
study-hall, by a question about her
studies. Her answer was, with
little grimace, that she studies
enough, but not too much So end
ed our interview, which includes
nearly everything about this little
sophomore-oh, her name? We're
afraid that will have to wait until
next week, at this same time.

Editorial

Several times pupils have been
seen playing on the new lawn in
Dexter Playground. Is it fair to
put young, fresh lawn to such a
strain7 People walking on the soft
ground hinder the growth of the
grass and children romping on it
tear up the maturing roots.
Much time and money has been
spent to make this Playground Park.
Many citizens have cooperated with
the school and its organizations to
make this recreational center. Now,
when results begin to flourish, it
would be a pity to have it ruined by
some unthinking person.
This newly dedicated field will
provide a place for children to play
when it becomes mature enough to
stand the strain. 1t will beautify
our city, it will add to the attrac-
tons of our schools, but an i'll look
ing lawn makes sad looking park

HANKOW.-As the great cap
ital city of Hankow in China fell
today the invading Japanese sent
up in flames the principal ware
houses, key factories and supply
depots which were furnishing the
Chinese with sustenance and war
material. Chinese general Chang
4Kai Shek fled to position west
of Hankow nearer Russia and an
nounced that he would continue
the fighting on new battlefield.
The Japanese said that they
would fight every inch of Chinese
territory until Shek was subdued.
All negotiations will rest on Shek,
they say. Meanwhile it was pre-
dicted that peace is near at hand
for China, with Britain and Ger
many leading the way. Both have
suffered heavy losses of trade
since the war began. Meanwhile
with most of Hankow in flames
Chinese are rushing the barri-
cades to the foreign protected
zones to escape the flames.
