By United Press NEW YORK, July s.—Leading stocks continued to forge ahead in early trading today on the Stock Exchange after a firm opening. Some selling occurred in the more speculative issues with radio dipping. U. S. Steel also joined the downward movement on a small scale. General Motors was taken in large blocks, rising nearly 2 points to 192%, and stimulating buying in other leaders. Mail order shares continued strong; Sears, Roebuck touching anew high for the present shares at 113%, up a point net, while Montgomery Ward gained 2 points to 156. Investment buying was noted in such issues as International Tele- ' phone and Telegraph which rose 2% to 174%, Case Threshing Machine up 4% at 350, and Texas & Pacific, up 4% at 172%, anew high record. Coppers, Oils, Motors Up Kennecott and Cerro De Pasco were strong leaders of the copper group. Motors ruled steady to .firm, while rails were holding well in ouiet turnover. Houston featured ©ils with a 3 point rise to 142. Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal’s financial review today said: “Although European markets broke badly, on the dramatic death of Alfred Loewenstein, no echo of the tragedy was heard on the New York Stock Exchange. Wall Street letumed from its holiday in an optimistic frame of mind as a result of the sharp drop in call money on Tuesday and the favorable turnabout of the Treasury financing.’’ \ Money Eases Urgent short covering was induced in the late morning by a further easement in money conditions. runds continued to flow into Wall Street in large volume, representing the return flow of mid-year disbursements and a drop to 5 per cent was looked for. While the easier situation was due to transitory factors, sentiment regarding the long-pull credit outlook was heartened by a highly constructive statement on the part of Secretary Mellon. He pointed out that 3% per cent rate established for the new Government / financing expressed the Treasury's opinion of probably money conditions in the future.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, July s.—We think that the recent strength of the market, which was based on the belief of easier credit conditions will be justified. With the return to the market of many investors and traders the demand for securities should be considerably increased. We think there still remains substantial short interest and who, because of the money outlook and stock market indications that stocks are not in supply at prevailing prices, may try to cover, but this can hardly be done without causing some sharp upward price movements.

By Times Special CAPETOWN, South Africa, July 5.—A mouse paralyzed the electric power system of Johannesburg. South Africa, for three hours, caused a city-wide tieup and brought injury to five persons. It poked its nose into a terminal box at the central power station.

Some 15,000 workers on their way home to luncheon on fast express trams were brought to a standstill. All electrically driven machinery in the city went dead, and many of the workers living at a distance had to go without their hoonday snack altogether.

TUBERCULOSIS IS MAINHAZARD Greatest Single Cause of Death in industry. By Science. Service LONDON, July s.—'Tuberculosis remains the biggest industrial hazard. In spite of the decrease of this disease among the general population, it remains the greatest single cause of death among working people, as shown by a report of industrial conditions in Great Britain. In the general population, represented by all occupied and retired males between 20 and 65, deaths from tuberculosis were 123 to 100,000. Among tin and copper miners who work underground, deaths from this cause were 4,188 to 100,000. Other occupational groups showing a similar high rate were grinders in the cutlery trade, metal grinders, barmen and slate masons and slate workers. These occupations also snowed the highest death rate from all causes, so the question arises whether tuberculosis and some other diseases known as industrial hazards are occasioned by some specific factor of the occupation or by the living conditions prevalent among the social classes engaging in these occupations. Social status of the population seems to have*a deftn e relation to chief causes of death. In class 1, comprising the upper and middle classes, heart and circulatory diseases come first as cause of death, with digestive diseases (except ulcer), diabetes and diseases of the liver second. In classes representing skilled and unskilled labor and intermediates, tuberculosis and respiratory diseases are the biggest causes of death.

STOREKEEPER VICTIM OF OWN PUNCHBOARD One Stranger Sells Him Device; Second Wins All of Prizes. Bn 'United Press GIBBON, Neb., July 5.—A Gibbon storekeeper became the victim of his own gambling device recently when a single customer took every prize a newly installed punchboard offered. The board was sold the storekeper by a traveling salesman, who explained how easily sls could be made by the owner of the device. The prizes were to be three $5 bills and several large boxes of candy. A few hours after the salesman left, a stranger entered the store, spied the punchboard and after a few tries carried off the three $5 bills and the candy. The storekeeper decided lt was more than a coincidence that the second stranger dropped in shortly after the salesman left; he further decided that memory as to the prize-winning punches, rather than luck, was responsible for the stranger’s “skill.”

WETS TO OPEN BATTLE TO WIN CONGRESSMEN North Dakota to Be First Objective: Vote Result RousGs Hope. BY HERBERT LITTLE, 1 United Pres* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July s.—Wet participation in the November electioiu campaign started in an unoffic* way today, with announcement 9 the reorganized Association AgainsW the Prohibition Amendment that it will wage a vigorous campaign to elect anti-prohibition Congressmen in North Dakota. Two of the State’s three congressional districts voted to repeal tha State’s forty-year-old prohibition amendment in last week’s referendum, the dry majority in the Third district defeating the wet proposal. In these two districts the association will send speakers and advertising. The association has been quiet so far in the Smith-Hoover battle for the presidency. After the speeches of acceptance in August, the association, backed by scores of wealthy men, may jump into the thick V the melee, but probably as antiprohibition. not pro-Smith, advocates. Hits Democrat Pussyfooting President Henry H. Curran of the association, in announcing the North Dakota campaign took a slap at the Democrats with a charge o£ “pussyfooting.” “Democrats just back from the Houston convention, Ciirtran said, “will 6e interested to know that while they were pussyfooting about prohibition, the voters of the dry State of North Dakota came within an inch of throwing prohibition out of the window altogether. , “The association has been working hard in North Dakota for the last three months. > “People talked about North Dakotas dryness the way they talked about Kansas and Maine, and yet our'latest returns from the Statewide referendum show that while 86,000 men and women were voting to keep prohibition in their State constitution, 82,000 -were voting to throw it out.^ Fight in Other States The association intends to carry its congressional campaign into other “doubtful” states in the congressional elections, it was learned. Its leaders believe that the only real hope of modifying the stricto Volstead act is to elect enough ant® Volstead Representatives and Se ators. Both houses of Congrefl now are approximately three' fourths dry. In adopting this plan after nearly three years of intensive protests, propaganda and “education,” the leading wet organization is following the tactics successfully used by the Anti-Saloon League . for many years. A recent reorganization which drew into its leadership Pierre Dupont and other industrial notables assures plenty of campaign funds. A gain of a few votes this fall would hearten their cause,* which is directed at eventful repeal of the Eighteenth amendment.
