PAGE EIGHT Th OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon Tuesday Homing, June 15, 1937 . Labor Causes Market Drop llany Issues Hit new Low as Threat of Labor Trouble Builds Quotations at Portland NEW YORK. iJun HJP)- Stocks broke wide open In today': market, many dropping 1 to 7 or more points to new lows for the year. or longer, as further labor upsets threatened In steel and other industries. While short covering and quick turn buying brought last-minute support to the list and enabled many extreme sufferers to cu their declines, the closing was definitely on the weak side. It was the most extensive set back and largest volume in a month. Dealings were fastest in the morning when leaders were falling on all sides. The pace slowed on the recovery attempt in the final hour. The Associated Press average ot 60 Issues was off 1.7 poirs at 63.9, the lowest mark since July 8, 1936. Transfers totalled 1,316.869 shares compared with 721.921 last Friday. Steels and motors led the backslide, but rails, toppers, oils, farm implements, ; rubbers and specialties required no greet amount ot persuasion to follow the retreat. Although utilities were not so weak as the rest, their average slipped to a new bottom since Oct.. 23, 1935. Inspiring most of the selling, brokers said, was the calling of " strikers in coal mines owned by . steel companies now Involved in unionization controversies and signs many other lines may be af fected if labor peace is not de clared in the near future. A more than seasonal husiness : recession, now seen as a possi- ' bility,1 'was also thought to have been a factor. Attention was again called to the budgetary troubles of France as the French bank boosted its discount rate from 4 to 6 per cent in an effort to stem a flight of capital. The French, franc im proved a trifle on this move. Bonds fell with stocks, with U. S. governments and rails in supply. Plummers Grandparents PIONEER. June 14.

Offerings on the low tide of the ranees paid for these grades last were restricted. Leedy to Write Turkey Publicity J. C. Leedy, manager of the Oregon Turkey Cooperatives, has been appointed publicity manager of the Northwestern Turkey show, and has begun an extensive plan of publicity which not only will advertise the annual exhibition held at Oakland each year, but will advertise Oregon turkey breeding stock throughout the country. Mr. Leedy lives at Brooks. Henry Domes of Rickreall is a director of the turkey sho?, and during the last eight years has been a principal factor in making Oregon's turkey exhibition the largest in the world. Next year three judges will of ficiate in the live department, H. P. Griffin of Salt Lake who has served in this capacity for four years, Judge Harry M. Lam on of Adams Center, New York, who has a national reputation based on long service in Atlantic coast states; and Erie Smiley, a famous A. P. A. Judge of Seward, Nebr who has specialized on turkeys for three years, serving at the Rich Girl - Poor GirlA by. Faith Baldwin CHAPTER XVIII : They went onthrongh the living room into the consulting room. Jonathan asked, tossing his outer things aside, "Nothing - wrong I nope, fcenatori" Sutton, who clung to his past title witn a ieecn-like tenacity, rubbed his hands together. "Well, yes," he said, "and no. All depends on how you look at it. Howd you like the school job, my boy J" Jonathan's eyebrows shot up ward. He said, "But I thought that LKxrtor Mason T" "Mason," interrupted Sutton, "is a sick man. Been sick for months. Going away to recuperate ... doubt if he'll practice much when and if he returns. Hasn't really practiced for that matter for some years. I got his resignation last night. Now yon, you're young, your practice hasn't reached great proportions as yet, so an outside job would not in terfere. Besides the school work - would put you in closer touch with our little community." he said caress ingly, as if he spoke of an indulged cruia, -ana you've all sorts ox np and coming and modern ideas. . . . Mason, poor old coot, hasn t had a new idea since the Spanish War. . We've got a mighty fine school nurse; mt course shell cooperate witn you in every way. I heard you talking to Sally the other nieht bout the necessity for a stricter medical examination of school ath letes ... didn't you quote a lot of statistics about the greater number of accidents in football happening to sand-lot players, and high school nasi well, then, here's your chance to put your theories into rjractice. The town hasn't quite got over of years ago. . . . Great kid on the track, Mike, but no one seemed to know that he had a bad heart till he dropped dead in full sight of tnree quarters oz the town at an inter-scholastic meet. . . . Then, I've been thinking that some day I might endow a dental clinic. Other towns not much larger than ours. nave cental clinics." Jonathan shook his head dazedly, He said, "But . , "Too many buts. You're always Duning in, saia tne senator, and lauchd hf-Ai-t.lv at Viia nnm jest. He slapped Jonathan on the L 1 J .... - ink. nu gave mm a orignuy uanucu cigar -iota yoa I bad "em made for me in Havana it" he asked. He went on, clipping the ena irom anoiner rat black roll of tobacco, "I think I can jam your ap pointment through, call a special mecung oi ue Board and aJl that. There'll be no objection. YouH take Mason's dace for thn rma the school year and if you make sooa you u sail in next year without any difficulty. Contract and all that perfectly secure. It will gi you something to do, and a little extra income and won't take np too much of your time." He rose heavily from the chair beside Jonathan's desk. "Well, I must be off," he said, "just nieu n mne sure you bad no ob jection to the iob" Jonathan got to his feet and went to me aoor witn rum. it occurred to him efterwnrHe rrtaf t-f V. V. J had an objection" he had not been Riven an opportunity to voice it. Ex-Senator Sutton was like a overwhelmingly benevolent but a , I, . . i . nicBai-roiier lor ail mat. . "I like you," boomed the great man, at Jonathan's door. "We need more young men like yon in the town. And if I'm not betraying a secret, Sally likes you, too." He closed one porcine eye in a ponder ous wink. "Come on up and see her some time," he added in an aston ishing falsetto and, roaring with laughter, opened the door and was gone, t Jonathan watched him roll down the steps and into his car. When he heard the door slam he turned away. He went back to his desk and sat down and picked np a book and looked at it. He put the book side and took paper and pen in order to write his news to Ballard. He laid the half-finished letter aside, yawned, and leaned back in his chair. j School doctor. It could be, he thought frowning, in a town of this size, a real job or a sinecure. He suspected that it had been a sinecure for some time past. He thought of the salary which Sut ton had named before he left. It would pay the rent and it would pay Evelina. It would be something defi nite coming in. He began to think that Sutton was, after all, not nearly as black as he was painted. He certainly had the best interests of the town at heart He was of course pretty con spicuous in his methods, he did as he pleased, got what he wanted. But if he considered only the town in the last analysis, why criticize what was merely the ebullience of a force ful personality? The telephone rang and he picked up the extension on bis desk. ... "Doctor Kimber speaking." "Is that your professional man ner, Kim? This is Sally. Oh, you knew it. did von? Has Tlarl Vwn there yet?" ; . . "He just left," said Jonathan, 'did you want him?" "No, you dope, I want you I Well, are you going to take the job?" Jonathan amilH "Vm f am I'm very grateful to your father." "Don't he. ! - I'va Koon talVinrr to him about it tar wmIts.

His office hours in the morning were taken up with three patients each writh an lne.:..ki. story and then he was called out. He managed a sketchy dinner under tvelina a disapproving gaze and tben mad asim.. mmflm a a. , , - " u tAjwii. kjii tus return he found a message from the country and went on out again. He wished bef ah h.. ,a . . far on the hanl.naiirj ... j 1 that he had hired the cutter again. On the way back he stopped to see the Peters' baby and came home to find three messages on the telephone pad. At supper he was too tired to eat. ; He thought of what Doctor Bal- ; lard's days had probably been, and ' nights too, and told himself that he couldn't take it, he was soft. But after a cup of Evelina's coffee, a batch of her hot biscuits, baked ham, -preserves, hashed-in-cream potatoes ; and chocolate cake, he felt like a new , man and tackled his seven to nine office hours with renewed vigor, ' There were only two patients. He was through a little after eight and began to contemplate an early bed- . time. He'd go upstairs and read; there were couple of articles he especially wanted to see, and several books he had ordered from New York which he hadn't looked into as yet. He had completely forgotten Sally. . .. He had not, however, forgotten Rose. He called her and Mrs. Ward told him that she had gone out with Bill Lvnd. He hung up, feeling rather let down. He had wanted to tell her about the school job and . see what she thought of it. Surely, -as far as her own school was eon- ; cerned, she might have all sorts of interesting ideas. , . He was trailing upstairs, the mag- azine and books under his arm, I contemplating a lazy hour or so and : prayerfully hoping that he wouldn't ' be called out, when the door bell rang. He dropped his burden on the stairs and went down to answer it. Evelina usually took her time. It might be an emergency. But it was only Sally, hatless as usual, de- : spite the weather, the fur collar of her coat protecting her ears. "Sally I" he said, aghast. ; She looked at him a moment. i "You'd forgotten 1" she charged ! him. "I can't believe it I" He said, "Look here, Sally, I ! welL 111 have to admit it. I've had a sort of haywire day. I did forget." Her black eyes were disconcert- : ing, they were angry and they were i amused. She permitted the amuse- i ment to win. She said, "Kim, you are the limit. Run along and brush your hair and put on your face or : whatever it Is' that young men do when about to take a gal to the movies. Ill wait." . . . When he hesitated, -ver ma little. when she saw his eyes go to "the books and magazines lying in their huddle on the steps she said sharp- ly. "I won't let you off. . . I broke another engagement . . if you think ; I'm going home to twiddle my thumbs. . ." Jonathan turned ana went up the : stairs. He called back over! his shoulders, "All right.- But IH prob ably be bad company." "You usually are she said de renely. "I donft know why I bother with you." - . i She was smiling looking after him. He was, she decided, wander ing aimlessly through the living room, looking without interest at the magazines, peering in the sec tional bookcase at the old novels, the most difficult man she had ever met; the most indifferent. She wondered if he had ever been" in love. When such a man fell in love he would be incalculable . . . and much more exciting-than the aver age man one met, easy tinder to the curious flame. . . . She went on into his consulting room, her small nose affronted by the slightly medical odor, and looked about her. On the old desk there was a snapshot, set in an ill-fitting little frame. She picked it up and looked at it. It was of Rose Ward, taken outside her house after the bad January blis zard. ; Rose looked as round aa an apple bundled into heavy ski suit ana gaiosnes. ller knitted toque ; was on one side, she waa linehina her eyes slanted against the sun.
