MARKET QUOTATIONS.
NEW YORK STOCKS

NEW YORK, Aug. IT. (UP).-
Trading dwindIed steadily from the
opening in a dull market today.
Price movements were nerrow
but the tendency was toward firm
ness after an irregularly lower start.
Near closing time a siZeable group
of issues had replaced early losses
with minor gains. However, there
was no follow through buying and
traders continued very cautious.
Several special issues were strong.
Dow Jones closing stock avera-
ges: Industrial, 1888. off Ola; rail,
27.71, off 0.29; utility, 25.93, off o.22.
stock sales approximated 10000
shares against $4,000 yesterday:
curb stock sales were $4,000 shares
against 10000 In the previous ses-
sion.

Thanksgiving Day .

President Roosevelt'S action IN
moving Thanksgiving day ahead one
week, has messed up the schedule
OF the Imperial Valley league, just
as il has the schedules OF large
number of football leagues through
out the nation.
El Centro was scheduled to en-
tertain Calexico on Thanksgiving
day and Brawley was slated to play
Holtville in Brawley.
Under the revised calendar, how
ever, the league will be forced to
call a meeting to reset the dates,
according to Donald Ketchen, vice
principal at El Centro high.
Otherwise El Centro would be

originated in Imperial Valley, Braw-
ley and Ell Centro all-stars will
resume their battling at 8:l5 Friday
night with Joe the Fox Hurst on
the mound for Ell Centro, Speed
Hare for Brawley.
Brawley softball players and back
ers openly predicted they would win
the series in two games while the
more conservative Ell Centrans fore
cast a win for the home team in
the full length series.
With Joe the Fox Hurst on the
mound Ell Centro rooters put the
series down as won before the team
lineups were even released, but
Brawley fans were just as quick to
count the series in the bag with
Hare on the slat.
Both Hare and Hurst depend up
on a windmill delivery for victory
both boast outstanding records for
the season.

Del Mar Hit

q
The officials who guide the des-
TIMES of horse racing in California,
and who incidentally set the dates
for horse racing. forgot the inter-
ests OF Del Mar in their lengthy
argument over Santa Anita and
Hollywood Park dates.
Santa Anita received a 40 day
season. December 80 to March 9,
Hollywood park was given June 8 to
August 10.
That left August y to Septem-
Der l3 for Del Mar and cut at
least one third OF the gate and
betting activity at the Bing Cros-
by track.
School vacation ends early in
September and a large majority OF
tourists begin to leave San Diego
during the early part of that month.
Del Mar will naturally suffer.
There isn't much Del Mar can do
about changing dates for 1910 but
it would be advisable for the Crosby
directors to get IN their say before
the l94l season is drawn.

THE BIRTHDAY BALL

Tonight Juneau and thousands OF communities
across the land will demonstrate that The American
people are more than willing to do their utmost
in alternating suffering and attacking one of the
scourges of mankind.
They will do it by dancing which is very pleasant
way
Unable to dance are those for whose benefit these
birthday balls have been held annually for the past
seven wears They are sufferers from infantie paray
sis the manning death which strikes without warn
ing leaving wthered arms and legs.
One of the thousands of Americans who nave
been stricken by the disease is President who in
overcoming its rayages was able to bring before the
people effectively the message that help was needed
by many less fortunate persons to combat the disease
and help needed too to discover the and control
the spread of poliomyelitis.
Six wears ago the movement started President
Roosevelt began 10 surround himself with people in
terested in stamping out the battling disease 1t was
suggested that needed funds be raised by the holding
throughout the land of birthday balls honoring the
President and through him, in the way that would
help them most all present and future victims OF IN
fantile paralysis
Because the American people have taken whole
heartedly that idea it is possible to say already that
there will not be so many future victims Research
and control are winning the against the disease
hA-teAiAN-->
PARALYSIS was formed This year half the money
raised at each birthday ball will stay right in the
community to form a permanent local chapter of the
Foundation. Juneau will have one 1t will be among
more than 5000 units being danced into existence
tonight. The resulting powerful field organization
will direct local medical rehabilitation OF victims
and prevention of epidemcs.
The other half of the proceeds will go to thu
National Foundation for continuation OF research
education administration and emergency use
One of the characteristics which sets the Amer
can people apart from most others is their Willingness
even eagerness in the really important matters t
put the interests of humanitarianism above persona
or political considerations Republicans have joiner
Democrats from the first to make these birthday ball
the outstanding successes they have been. They vii
do so again tonight.
Juneaus dance will be held at the Elks Hall
Tickets are still available from the birthday ball com
mittee which is headed this year by Harry Watson
Secretary to the Governor.
See you tonight

is furnished by Harry Hopkins himself
Asked by Republican Senator Arthur Vandenberg
at the recent Senate Commerce Committee hearing
prior to confirmation of his appointment as Secretary
of Commerce what business experience had qualified
him to fulfill such constitutional duties as for example
running the Bureau Fisheries Harry Hopkins cooly
and carefully took command of the situation and
replied:
IF any has had intimate experience with
business in the last six years, it is l. have bought
and sold millions and millions of goods have nego-
tiated with businessmen on hundreds and thousands
of deals. l have always had employees under me-
ranging from ten or Is to high as 10000.
Thus Harry Hopkins met this attack on his as
sertedy weakest point with good-humored retreat
into modesty sincerity patient implication that
he knew this was political trial His behavior was
in glaring contrast to that of Mr.. Vandenberg who
had put his question with the elaborate air of ronic
courtesy for which the Michigan Republican spokes-
man is famous.
Harry Hopkins approved by the Committee
as he had been by the Sub Committee. and con-
firmation from the Senate.

Although the week in business he-
gins under evil portents, there are
promising signs for persons who
possess the good things of life. Those
that have will get more according
to the seers, who predict greater
fortune for men who have attained
success. The President of the United
