New London Streets Deserted


New London, July % up - This
city was sweltering again today in
the clutches of the heat wave that
sent the mercury soaring to the sc
degree mark in the shade at 1920
o'clock this morning. There was not
a breath of air stirring even along
the beaches facing Long Island
Sound. 1t was noticed that there
were very few people about the
streets. the reason being that most
of the residents were staying in
doors or had gone to beaches TO
avoid the sitting heat. All the
beaches in this vicinity were crowd
ed throughout the day and even al
down the resorts were largely popu-
lated

KING DISCUSSES
DISARMAMENT IN
THRONE ADDRESS
Sees Security System
as Substantial Step;
Gives Coal Warning.

LONDON, Feb. "A substantial
step in the direction Of disarmament
should now be possible as result Of
the security system deviseu By the
Locarno pacts, King George said to-
day in the kings speech from the
throne,' opening the parliament.
Touching broad scale of sub
jocts. the King declared among the
other things that Britain since au-
tumn had shown signs of revival
of business and added that the
growth of confidcncc upon which
Il revival depends is being arrested
by the fear of industrial strife.
waning On Coal
The warning was manifcstly di-
rected largely at TIE coal trade,
where possibilities of trouble again
are sighted, in view OF the coming
conclusion of the coal subsidy plan
adopted last year when tie miners
were threatening a complete ticup.
Perhaps significant to the outside
world, dependent upon the British
iubbNT 'hphoBiN iVi itN tiiNN anu niu
dred products, was the kings an.
nouneement of plans for the gov.
ernmcnt to guarantee loans to de-
velop British mandates and depcn.
denotes in East Africa-a land high
ly suited to the growing of rubber,
cotton and coffee.
Opened In State
- King George opened the session in
state and it was the first important
function attended by royalty since
the death of Queen Alexandra ten
weeks ago.
The Prince of Wales. owing to his
broken collar bone, did not attend.
Coal and the dole appeared likely
TO be the biggest questions facing
the parliament. The coal subsidy
will cost at least $95 ,0CC. 900 to the
end of March, and opponents of this
system of settling industrial dis
putes are pointing out that the tax
payers will bear the brunt.

here last week.
This interesting fact. reported by
Mrs. j. Drumond Huston at meet
ing of the community service com

adopted: Monday, Mrs. r. C. Ian
icr; Tuesday, Mrs. W. f. North

Mrs. w. s. Sylvester; Saturday,
Mrs. A. B. Arnold. This schedule
is in effect this week.

is divided as follows: Monday, Mrs.
Charles l.. Phillips; Tuesday, Mrs.
G. w. Nance; Wednesday, Mrs. W.
T. Graham; Thursday, Mrs. l.. C.
Lee: Friday. Mrs. +. J. Mack
Saturday, Mrs. A. B. Hanson.
Mrs. McIver will serve with each

devote a considerable amount of
time to perfeeting the organiza
tion. The remaining members of the

phone. A.. Everyone is asked to
cooperate in the matter of securing
hstings, both of help wanted and

(By Dispatch A. r. W;re)

NEW YORK, July 31.-Another sharp
rally in stock prices under the leader
ship of General Motors and United
States Steel common, which establish
ed new high records for all time at
194% and 149 ", respectively, was
abruptly halted late today by the
per cent General Motors fell back
to 1861 and ethn rebounded to 1881,
off 2a4 net, and steel sagged to 148,
where it was still up 2 points on the
day. Final quotations in the general
lis tdisclosed considerable irregularity
with the total volume of business
again running well above 100000
shares.
The higher money rate followed the
heavy calling of loans in anticipation
of first of the month requirements, and
did not reflect any marked change in
the credit situation. The days trade
news continued favorable with an in
crease in lead and copper prices and
prediction of a further stiffening of the
quotations for steel bars, shapes and
plates. &The weekly mercantile reviews
reported further Improvement in both
de the fact that the seasonal slacken-
ing in vaious lines has been much less
than usual this year.
Revival of speculative interest and
strength in the railroad shares the
general average of which closed high
er on the day, was one of the most in
teresting incidents of the season. Near
ly score carrier stocks were marked
up to 5 points before the heavy wave.

gains, in many cases, being reduced to
fractions. With net operating income
of class one railroads in June breaking
all records for that month, and July
traffic being maintained at unprece-
dented levels, operators warking for
higher prices in those issues, found it
relatively easy to attract following.
Baltimore & Ohio crossed SO to the
highest price since 1913.
In the industrial group new high
records for this year, or longer were
