The Lady Was Right;
She SdlU Monkeys
In Yellowstone Park

Yellowstone national parks phenom-
ena have long been a source of amaze
ment, but Ranger George Kennaugh
was thoroughly stumped when wom-
an visitor asked: Where can we see
the rest of the monkeys?"
Patiently Kennaugh tried to explain
that while it appeared mother nature
might have been on long jag when
the park was created. it was not the
natural habitat of monkeys.
The indignant tourist insisted she
had seen two scampering along the
highway near the ranger station at
the northeast entrance
After she had continued her jour-
ney, still indignant. Kennaugh found
himself the object OF a pine cone bar
rage, hurled by two monkeys.
He discovered they had escaped from
a travelling 200. The zoo moved on. but
the monkeys remained in the park.

60-Stock Range Since 1927:
By VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, Aug. Ala ripple OF
confidence ran through Wall Street
today and stocks made a general
rally.
Gains, which in instances were as
much as three points, improved by
fractions at the close, but the rate
of transactions was spasmodic.
About 100000 shares changed hands.
Foremost in the calculations OF
the traders was the Royal Air Force
show against the German air
armadas. Observers noted growing
optimism toward the chances OF
England to resist invasion.
Adding to this psychology was the
constant rise, as spotted in various
induces, of American industrial &C
tivity under the spur of rearma-
ment.
TIL sessions trend appeared to be
largely a continuation of yesterday S
movement which was touched off hv
Churchill's speech outlining British
military preparations for two more
years of war. Prices were higher
at the opening, wavered bit to-
ward noon, then strengthened as
the day wore on.
Included in the best performers
were U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, Gen
eral Motors, Chrysler, United Air
craft, Sperry, Glenn Martin, Sears
Roebuck. U. S. Rubber. Allied Chem
ical, Union Carbide, Westinghouse,
American Smelling, Phelps Dodge,
Western Union, International Pa
per and Loft.

the minimum wage fixed for Eastern
steel centers under the Walsh Healey
Act requirements on Government
contracts and to make the Bethle-
hem plants fully available" for the

A spokesman for Bethlehem said
it was undetermined how many
workers would receive a wage boost
when the guarantee becomes effec-
tive. Average earnings, he added
have been well above the 621z cent
minimum.
The guarantee. it was pointed out,
will apply to those employed on conf
mercial as well on Government work.
Bethlehem-its orders swollen by
naval and other Government coll
tracts-recently reported a payroll
of ITO 1000 workers and a record total
of nearly $500, ZOO, 900 in untitled

Construction Costs
Steady During July

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.--The con-
struction cost index computed today
by the American Appraisal Co. re-
manned steady in July at 202, the
same level as in the last few months,
the company announced today.
Slight increases in wages at some
point and advance in prices of re-
inforcing steel at Birmingham, Chi
cago. Pittsburgh and Eastern basic
points were not sufficient to change
the national average.
For II cities the index showed q
ope-point increase, for one city a
two-point increase, while for II
cities it was unchanged.
