Lo, the Poor Broker.
R Brings the Oyster.
Hall Caine Is Gone.
Brave; Patient China.
jopyrlght King Feature Synd., Inc.
Yesterday in Wall Street re
minded brokers of the "old
sat dying out.'' Total sales of
itock were 500,000 shares. The
previous day they were 700,000.
Unhappy traders remembering
the good old 5,000,000 share
Says, with exchange seats sell
ing above half a million, were
reminded of Macaulay 's "Trav
eler from New Zealand, in the
midst of a vast solitude, on a
broken arch of London bridge,
sketching the ruins of St.
Paul's."
September, with its R, brings
back the oysters, and to many,
that line is more beautiful than
Sappho's about the evening
that brings back the child to
its mother.
Somebody said the man who first
ate an oyster was brave. He Is un
wise who doesn't eat them now with
their value in lood, vitamin and easy
digestion, so well established.
As Important as food and aesthetic
value ot the oyster, according to Wil
liam H. Raye, ol the General Poods
Corporation, Is the fact that the oys
ter season opening provides employ'
ment for 40,000 additional men. That
Is welcome.
This year the United States' oystor
crop will be about 18,000,000 bushels,
and by 1033, according to Mr. Raye,
'Uhe yield will be stepped up to more
than 20,000,000 bushels."
The female oyster never heard of
birth control and lays millions' of
eggs at a time.
Big business Is co-operating with
her, to make those eggs survive to
appear on the half shell and other
wise. Thanks to modern refrigera
tion, "oulck freezlnc" and other
methods, the oyster Is delivered every.
where in crime condition. And,
thanks to the prolific mother oystor,
with proper care, the crop need never
be less.
Sir Hall Oalne'a death emphasizes
the shifting of critical standards,
when Cosmopolitan Magazine, shortly
after W. R. Hearst bought It, pub.
listed Hall Calne's "The Woman Thou
O&vest Me," the Reverend Dr. Pank
hurst, while admiring Hall Calne's
trr,ii, id the story wasn't for
family reading.
And Ella Wheeler Wilcox, writing
In the Now York Evening Journal, as
Dr. Parkhurst had done, said that
not to read "The Woman Thou Qavest
Me" was to remain needlessly Ignor
ant. Cosmopolitan's circulation In
creased.
Now, Hall Calne and Ella Wheeler
Wilcox are together, and perhaps
talking about that very mild novel.
An American from China admires
"the Chinese dogged patience and
courage even In terrific floods that
have made thirty millions homeless,
fifteen millions destitute."
It seems strange that after five
thousand years of civilization, China
has not learned to control Jfe Yang
Tse and other great rivers.
Then we remember humbly that,

only about $11,000,000 less than In

months to $156,Q00,000 more than
the deficit In the same period of a
year ago.

The chief Increase In the ex
penses was in the fund which in
cludes money spent in carrying on
the public building and public
works program. . The postal defic
iency for two : months doubled,, as
compared with that- for the same
period a year ago. .

KEY I! VALIDITY
OF INTANGIBLES
SALEM, Sept. 2. (AP) The six
per cent tax limitation amendment
to Oregon's constitution was the hub
around which arguments revolved
today before Circuit Judge Gftl-j 8.
Hill In which validity of the intan
gibles tax law of the last legisla
ture was attacked by Sidney Graham
and J. O. Stearns, attorneys of
Portland. The new tax law was
defended wlllis O. Moore, assist
ant attorney general.
The big gun fired at the new tax
law was the allegation that the tax
collected exceeds that permitted
under tho six per cent limitation
amendment which- permits an in
crease in the tax levy irom uu
year to another by but six per cent
over the preceding year's levy.
The assistant attorney-general urea
back with ,the contention that the
six per cent limitation amendment
only limits the levy made in any
one year and not the rovenue.
