NEW YORK, July 9.-The stock mar SEet was reactionary today, and not be- cause of any commercial or financial reason, as no change has occurred in jAny fundamental. The only explanation lis the technical condition of the mar ket. Short covering has been on a large scale, and now the market misses this support. A new short interest is needed, and will probably be created promptly in the event that the stock market shows a further reactionary tendency. It is not advisable at any time to become too enthusiastic about the market as to overlook the possi- bility of reactions. We are of the opinion that capital will continue to seek employment in the security market And that 1t is advisable to pursue the same course-taking advantage of weak markets to accumulate stocks.-John F.

MRS. NcGREW GIVES
SPLENDID TALK ON
RHEIMS REBUILDING

Mrs. I. w. MeGfew presented Il
splendid discussion Of the beautiful
and historical city of Rheims dur.
ing the recent meeting of he his.
tory section of the Ten Thousand
Club. The wonderful cathedral at
Rheims. whith is one of the oldest
and most famous edifiees in Europe,
was one of the outstanding features
of the city described by Mrs. Me
Grew. This beautiful edifice, where
the kings of France Were crowned
for MANY generations, was damaged
irreparablv by the Germans during
|. the war. the cathedral being situat'
ed in the midst of the firing zone
practically throughout the four
years of conflict. During part or
The time the enemy held a position
INST one mile distant from she city
and the town and fortress werefun-
der constant fire from the Germans
guns.
After the war, Mrs. McGrew stat
ed. the country conceived the plan
to rebuild the city on plan propos-
ed bv George B. Ford, an American
architect and city planning expert
ef New York. Mr.. Ford reported
Fthat 5000 out of $4,000 buildings
had been completely destroyed, and
$4,000 people were trying to hVe
thdre. The chief difficulty was
TO ,build an industrial city AMI still
preserve the charm of the old town,
the historical monuments and char
acteristic architecture.
Accordingly, in the center Of the
c;tv the new development will be
grouped about the historical places
and connected with the newer parts
of the city. So great a proportion
of buildings are beyond repair
that streets are being laid out
through the open spaces and park
has been planned directly back of
the cathedral, from which will run
= GREAT avenue through the city. a
central market and civic center
are also proposed, and other minor
projects. The complete. reconstruc-
tion of the city will be done as the
money becomes available and the
national government will stand part
of the expense, according to Mrs:
McGrew.
One French writer protests against
"a foreigner being empowered to
fix for ali time the features of the
citv in which the kings of France
we're. crowned Mr.. Ford's plan
provides for population Of 100000
people. The requirements Of the
large exterior have been allowed to
control the plan for the centre, IN
which are found the Cathedral, the
Hotel de Vile, the Palace Royal
and the various monuments, lnclud-
ing the old Maison des Musicians.

were only partially completed
through last years program, were
also given further attention. and
WITH the large number of homes
which were completely redeeorated
under Miss Decker s and Miss Mill
er's excellent ideas and manage
ment. an enormous amount of work
was accomplished.
Two homes visited were made
especially beautiful by redeea-ating
and other inne=ations, according to
Miss Miller. One of the owners of
the homes wanted AN upstairs sleep
ing porch, and after much careful
planning fine results were obtained.
The owner, himself, did all If ths
work in building the porch. An
other home having an altogether
unfinished interior, required Plas-
ter boards ON all the inside walls,
the walls and floors being carried
put in neutral eolors.
\ very striking effect was OBJ

Of French gray. curtains of gray
voile, and side drapes of printed
muslin embellished with
mulberry tones. Gray furniture
with a touch of mulberry roloring
was also used, the effect being UNI

bed room of this home the walls
were of gray-grcen and orcafd col
cred curtains we're employed at the
window with printed side drapes oi
