CALL More JUMPS- UPSETTIUG MARKET nurry Takes Place on Wall Street as Rate Rises 6 to 8 Per Cent NEW YORK. July 31. (AP). A flurry from 6 to 8 per cent in the call money rate, accompanied by the calling of between $50, JOO.OOO and $60,000,000 in loans, :emporarily unsettled today's stock market. Prices rallied briskly at the opening and held well in the face of a renewal rate of 6 per cent. Marking up of the rate to 7 and 7 Vt -per cent In quick succession iround midday brought a wave of telling into the market, which wiped out many of the early sains and eent a number of issues iown 2 to nearly 9 point Buy ing support was quickly provided md the market headcl' i-pward igain in the face of a further ad trance in money to 8 per cent. The United States Steel corpor ation, .making its report public ifter the close of the market, earned $4.86 a share In the first six months as against $5.60 in the first half of 1927, but earnings in the June quarter were $2.75 against $2.11 in the first quarter and $2.78 in the second quarter of 1927. Establishment of new low lev els for the year by British and Dutch currencies and the shifting of the Canadian dollar from a premium to a discount were the outstanding features in the mixed foreign exchange market. Ster- ing cables were quoted as low as $4.85 6-8 and Dutch guilders round 40.17. POPULATION MOVES TO LONDON, July 31. (AP). A heavy tide of population away from cities and back to the land is reported In an official survey just completed by the regional town planning committee of Greater London. For several generations the movement ha3 been steadily from the farm to the city in England, the United States, and other large nations of the world. The peak of that tendency has been reached, the report states, and a reaction has set in in the opposite direc tion. Major J. Baker White, secre tary of the Economic League, which has been making a study of this new condition, said that "there is scarcely a small town in England which is not being in- dustralized. It is surprising to find large factories springing up in little towns." According to a government re port on factors in industrial effi ciency, it has been the accepted opinion that half the population of England lived in five Industrial districts, comprising only one tenth of the country's area, but that this will soon be no longer true. "Present day changes, which aid In the trek back to the coun try," the report states, "are cre ating new jobs and destroying old one. In 1921 there were 407,000 workers employed in shipbuilding and marine engineering, but last October there were only 282,000, a loss of 125.000. "The largest and least suspect ed creator of new jobs has been the distributing trade, engaged in distributing commodities. . The scattering of the population has naturally made great calls on it. There are now S 2 7.0 00 more peo ple employed In thie trade than there were four years ago, name ly.. 1.581,000." The Lake county nutrition meetings hare been a fine thing for the house wires of the counjy. This is the sort of practical field work which makes the state col lege so valuable to the people of Oregon. Lake County Tribune. 1 BACK COUNTRY Colonize In U. S. A.

Detroit Free Press HABERLY II SI 1ESHNG UN rioii nE ACHIEVES pike "A Certain Young Man." is truly a moving picture. It is an example of Just what can be done with the camera toward the de velopment of a separate and dis tinct art, that neither depends up on inherited mechanics of the stage nor titles to emphasize its points. It 1b for this reason if for no other that "A Certain Toung Man" is one of the finest comedy dramas of the year. This Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture began a two days' run last night at the Elsinore theater. It is a Hobart Henley production starring Ra mon J'ovarro. It is by far the finest picture that Hobart Henley has ever di rected, not excluding "His Secre tary," "Exchange of Wives," and "The Student Prince." Every scene Is rounded out with an "art that conceals art." Though his production is the very essence of sophistication and cleverness, the mechanics are never apparent to the audience, nor in one's mind al lowed to supersede the action as to the inevitability of a situation. Henley is not to be compared with any other director, for with this picture he'has put himself In to a class by himself. Ramon Kovarro, who stars in the production as Lord Jerry, has never given a better account of himself. Needless to say, this role will, without doubt, increase his fan mail, by leaps and bounds, for it Is the type of part that allows a reat display of personal magne tism. , The cast includes Marceline Day, Renee Adoree, Carmel My ars, Bert Roach and Huntley Gor don. "A Woman's Way." the Colum bia production of the Oregon the ater is tense, colorful drama of Parisian life. The plot revolves iround a strange adventure in the underworld of the French city. There is a skilful blending of ro mance, adventure and tense dra matic action set against a back ground of the opera, Latin Quar ter and cafes. Warner Baxter, Margaret Livingston and Armand Kalis carry the story in excep tionally fine roles. Baxter ap pears as a clean-cut, daring Amer ican youth. TUNNEY LEAVES BOXING RING FOR GOOD, WORD (Con tinned from pjr 1.) service overseas in the Marine corps, a moderate-sized youth un able to find a job anywhere else. In his ears were ringing - the words of the snow-haired Com missioner Muldoon, erect and solid for all his 82 years, had juat ut tered, in awarding the heavy weight king a bronze trophy, "Gene Tunney, champion of cham pions." "I have won the highest prize In boxing," he said. "I have de fended It against the; man from whom I won it and then against the best opponent a long series of eliminations could produce. I feel now that I am entitled to give it up in the most graceful mannex possible. "Every man owes something to his profession and I am not In sensible to the duties I owe boxing. But I have been ten years now in the boxing game, and I feel that ten years in such a violent sport is sufficient. A man must be young to stand it and while I feel that I still am young, I wish to step out while I still am at the pinnacle." Tunney then outlined a plan he has worked upon for some time with Commissioner Muldoon whereby his place can be filled through an elimination tourna ment. A trophy in the form of a huge four-sided cup will be placed in the hands of a committee of trustees, headed by Commissioner Muldoon and Tex Rlckard, to be known as, the "Muldoon-Tunney trophy." The cup will remain in the hands of the committee of 26 but on .it will be inscribed (he names of each successor to Gene's crown when the public recognizes them as such. On one side of the trophy will be Inscribed a list of the cham pions dating from John L. Sulli van, down to the day of Jack Dempsey. On the opposite the name of the old Manassa mauler will head the list and under it will be placed Tunney's name. Gene explained that Muldoon would ac cede to his plan only In the event that both names be joined in des ignating the cup. In a way. Gene eald, the award of this trophy would fulfill the contractural obligation' he owes Tex Rlckard to fight for him again in 19 2 1. Under the agree ment binding promoter and boxer, Gene already has fought Heeney. Rlckard accepted the cup as com pletion of their mutual obliga tions. After pointing out what boxing has meant to .him, detail ing the friendships he had made; and explaining the attractiveness of the game as a sport. Gene read a prepared statement in which he set forth some of his reasons for retirement, but failed to mention definite plans for the future. 1 "It naturally is with a certain regret that I announce my perma PARISIAN 11 PROVES n nent retirement from the ring," he read. "No man realized more than X do my debt to the came. It has treated me well. To It I owe such fame and fortune as I possess and it has given me some thing less ephemeral than fame many real and warm friendships, which I hope and expect to keep through all the years to come. "I always shall take a lire and active Interest in boxing. There is no finer physical exercise or more engrossing science. . It Is a game, which, properly conducted, teaches and develops such quali ties as stamina, . confidence, pa tience, self-denial, bodily fitness, mental alertness and courage. "I have a great affection for j boxing and one of my chief de sires has been to leave the game better than I found it. I have tried to be not only a champion but a sportsman. "But the time has come when professional boxing can offer me nothing further that I desire. am putting it behind, grateful for benefits conferred but with the feeling that I am still young enough to make a new start in other fields. "There Is no contender at the present time who appears capable of attracting real public interest If there were I might delay my retirement long enough to face him in the ring, but it looks an if it might be two or three years be fore a dangerous opponent Is de veloned. That is too long to stand and wait. "If I had fought again it would have been for Tex Rickard. I re gard hlra as the foremost boxing promoter of all time. Realizing another champion will follow me, I can think of no more capable hands than Rickard's in which to leave the selection of such a man. especially as he will necessarily be guided by the advice and as sistance of another man to whom I Mwe more than I can express. There could be no more fitting time than this for me to pay tri bute to the untarnished honor. the wise counsel, the generous friendship and the lion's heart of that grand old man of sport, Wil liam Muldoon. "Under these circumstances It is my desire to place in the hands of Tex Rlckard a belt, or other suitable emblem of supremacy, to be awarded by him to that boxer who, through a series of elimina tion bouts or victories over the most formidable opponents that can be obtained, shall prove him self deserving of it. "I have no thought of trying to nomtnate my successor. To the victor belongs the spoils. I mere ly step aside and say, 'May the best jnan win."

CLUB FETES WOMEN NORTH SANTAM GOOLIDGE PLATS IP. President Expects to Do Nothing More Than Just Stick to Job SUPERIOR, Wis., -July 51 (AP) President Coolldge's chief part in Secretary Hoovers cam paign for the. presidency will be; to continue so conauct punuc affairs as to appeal to the elect orate and move them to return the republican party to power in No vember. Apart from this Mr. Coolidge has agreed to undertake no special ac tivities in the compaign. . His contributions to Mr. Hoov er's campaign, the chief executive feels, antedate the commerce sec retary's nomination as republican standard bearer, inasmuch as ever iince he was sworn in as, president of the United States on August 2, 1923, Mr. Coolidge has always striven to give the country a gov eminent which worked to the voters' satisfaction and benefit. Mr. Coolidge will continue pur suing such a policy for the rest ot his term In office. Inasmuch is Mr. Coolidge was assured by Chairman Work of the national republican committee that contin uation of the present administra tion's policies would be made the chief issue in the campaign by Sec retary Hoover. It was thought here that Mr. Coolidge, in addition to such pas sive aid in the campaign, will be ready to help more actively from -Ime to time as occasion may sug gest, to the extent of his power. On account of the shortness of .he next session of congress, Mr. Coolidge sees little opportunity to inaugurate any new policy at :his late hour In the life of his ad ministration. For this reason he believes that It will be impossible for congress, upon reopnvenlng aext December to revise the ariff act so as to increase protec :lon on agricultural products. It -as indicated, however, 'that Mr. Coolidge would not oppose on principle a move to raise such schedules.
