WALZER TJPI Financial Editor New York (LTD The stock market will show a moderate loss for August after having set several records. On Aug. 3, the industrial averages f reached its : i a i i jugiiesi level in history at 678.10. That was up 94.45 points from Elmer Wilier the 1S58 close. itself the record to that date. It was up 398.23 points or 140 per cent over the low of 1954. At the Aug. 3 high, the valuation of all listed stocks crossed the previous record of S3 10 billion set on July 31. Another record was the rise above the previous top for all time of 5,520,000,000 shares listed touched on July 31. The industrial average is the only one that has ever been able to get above its 1929 high of 381.17 set on Sept. 3 of that year. At its record high on Aug. 3 this average was up 296.93 points from the 1929 top. Railroad Average Off The railroad average high so far this year of July 8 at 173.56 was off 15.55 points from the 1929 top, the all-time record high of 189.11. The utility average at its high for 1959 set on March 18 at 94.70 was down 49.91 points from its record high touched on Sept. 21, 1929 at 144.61. The latter average has been hurt by eliminatination of many giant utility holding compa nies. In fact, utilities were the best performers in the stock market in August, managing to hold slightly above the July close. This strength reflects some tendency toward more defensive issues. It is estimated that custom ers debit balances on the New York Exchange dipped again during the month after a sub stantial decline in July. Consumer Credit Rises The credit item that has been rising sharply is consum er credit which spurted $926 million or 2 per cent in June. With consumer credit at S46.7 billion the experts are giving this phase of the economy close scrutiny on the belief that here might be one of the excesses that will unsettle things later on The present Dow-Jones in dustrial average dates back to the beginning of 1897.

Print plainly NAME, ADDRESS with SIZE and STYLE NUMBER. first average in this series was 40.74 on Jan. 2, 1897. The average set its record low on April 19, 1897, at 38.49. Then came a seies of ups and downs in moderate swings to Nov. 3, 1919 when it touched 119.62. A decline brought it to 63.90 on Aug. 24, 1921, the depth of the post-World War I recession. From 1S21 there was an al most steady rise to the peak for 1929 of 381.17 on Sept. 3 Then came the preciptate de cline to 41.22 on July 8, 1932. A substantial rally brought it to 194.40 on March 10, 1937. Significant Figure in 1942 . Then came a drop to 92.92 on April 28, 1942, 17 years and four months ago. This 92.92 figure for a closing aver age is significant since it has never been touched in more than 17 years and at the re cent high the industrials were up 585.18 points or about 630 per cent from that figure. The market hasn t had a ten per cent decline for years Some of the experts say it is entitled to one. They feel it could take such a drop with out losing its forward trend, and some hold it would be a good thing if one came Willamette Closes Law Registration Salem Admissions to the 1959-60 first year College of Law class at Willamette Uni versity here have been closed, it has been announced. The closing was necessary despite a 20 per cent expan sion of this year's class over the 50 students admitted last year. With a month remaining be fore the start of law classes, Dean Seward Reese said that the law school is compiling a list of qualified "stand-by ap plicants" in case any student who has paid his tuition ad vince finds it impossible to at tend and creates a vacancy in the class. College of Law reg istration is Sept. 8. Figures from the College of Lew indicate that 33 per cent of the entering College of Law class will come from outside of Oregon. Over 75 pre-law colleges and universities in all parts of thi country will be represented in the Willamette college this year. What Is The Law?

Stay out of my way or you'll get worse than this." George said that the neighbor had then slapped him. Brown was furious. He stormed over to Sam, grab bed him by the arm and said: "I arrest you in the name of the law for assault and bat tery." Brown took Sam to the police station and made a sworn complaint against him for assault and battery. Sam pleaded guilty and paid a fine. Acted Too Hastily A week later, Sam sued Brown for false arrest. Brown was astonished and contended he had had n absolute right to arrest Sam, that a. citizen can make an arrest when ever a crime, has been com mitted. Was Brown right? No. Brown had acted too hastily. It is true that a pri vate citizen can arrest another for crime in . certain situa tions; but only under the fol lowing circumstances: (1) For a crime committed or attempt ed in his presence; (2) When the person arrested has com mitted a felony, although not in his presence; (3) When a felony has in fact been com mitted and he has reasonable cause for believing the person arrested to have committed it. Sam committed only a pet ty crime or a misdemeanor when he slapped Brown's son. Because it "was not committed in Brown's presence, a citi zen's arrest was not possible. Greater Crime A felony is a greater crime, punishable with death or by imprisonment in the state pen etentiary. If Sam had actually committed a felony such as the murder of Brown's son or if Brown knew a felony had been committed and had rea sonable cause for believing Sam had committed it, then a citizen's arrest would have been legal. In view of what actually happened, Sam is en titled to recover damages for false arrest. If a citizen does make a lawful arrest, it is his duty, without unnecessary delay, to take the person arrested be fore a magistrate or judge or to deliver him to a peace offi cer. The citizen should realize, however, that the right of a citizen to make an arrest is more limited in some states than it is in Oregon. Care should be taken to use only reasonable force in making a citizen's arrest. Sixth and Grape Open 7 Days a Week Until 9:00 P.M. Prices Good Through Wednesday, September 2. Limit Rights Reserved.

Nehru repeated his warning that an attack against either of the two pro tectorates would be considered aggression against India. 9 3 Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. VYatkins The Smallest Insect Has All The Insect Instincts In the world of Lilliput there is a tiny creature, re duced to almost the vanishing point, that is recognized as the smallest living insect in all the world. A tiny creature with six legs, a digestive and nervous system, capable of egg-laying, possessing instinc tive behavior patterns, but on ly slightly larger than a germ. It took some very fine meas uring with delicate instru ments and ingenuity to ascer tain the size of this dimunitive creature known as a Chalcid fly, which averages about eight thousandths of an inch long. By that "fly-stick" measure ment it would take 125 of these parasitic flies, laid tail to head, to measure a single inch. But few people have ever seen this insect-midget. It could very well be called, "the invisible insect." A Parasite If we can "think small enough," it is interesting to conjecture about the size of the egg that this insect lays in the body of some other in sect, for Chalcid is a parasite. She lays her eggs in the body of the booklouse, an insect who is barely larger than a grain of sugar. Some kinds of Chalcid flies parasitize vari ous kinds of ticks. Now if we apply the "egg-mother-formula," which is approximately a two-ounce egg to a four-pound chicken, give or take a few fractions of an ounce, which might approximate many egg laying animals, including some insects, we arrive at a ratio of the egg being some what less than one thirtieth the weight of the mother. So a creature whose body length is measured in thousandths of an inch could be expected to lay an egg that "is out of this world." Absorb Juices In the dark; warm body of the host the microscopic worm or larva hatches and begins absorbing the body juices of the parasitized insect. It is a diminutive little monster but with a mouth, a nervous and digestive systems, and possess ing all the characteristic in stincts inherent in all insects of this order; instincts inborn to activate the tiny creature and give it the desire to live, to mate and to recreate its kind. And all this "done up" in an insect that, when it is full grown, will only be about eight thousandths of an inch from stem to stern. In the niche of living things, barely larger in size than bac teria or algae, the Chalcid fly just about occupies a shadow land between the visible and the invisible. It is peculiar that such a miter of organized living matter can survive. (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1959) ...WHEREVER GOOD FOOD IS SOLD . . .
