NEW YORK, August 3l.--The CAM
paign for higher prices was carried on
aggressvely in today's curb market
session. Trading was again very ac-
tive and there was every indication that
Thursdays total of more than $4,000
shares would be exceeded.
Stimulated by the comparatively
small increase in brokers' loans, me
element favoring higher prices brought
about a number of new high records
One of the outstanding features was
the spectacular rise in Illinois Pipe
Line. The demand had as its incentive
the prospect of a recapitalizatlon plan
to be effected later in the year which
would result in a stock splitup and
substantially higher rate on the new
shares. At 225 the price compared with
the previous final of 2l0. Oils generally
gave better account of themselves
than at any time this week. lnterna-
tional Petroleum. Imperial Oil OF can
ada and Standard Of Ohio were ia
voriteS, but gains we're moderate.
Evidently there was some special rea-
son for the active demand for American
Superpower issues. although there was
nothing IN the form Of new develop
ments to account for their strength
American Gas 81 Electric resumed its
upward movement and Middle West
Utilities gained a point further
United Carbon was a feature among
specialties, surprising its previous hlgh

in higher prices for Celanesc issues.

points higher. Columbia Graphophone

tional Rubber Machinery bonds ana
stocks reached the highest since the

1t was a market which needed little
or no incentive in the form OF de-
velopments in individual companies.
The line of least resistance still lay on
the side of advance and little resistance
was offered to operations for the rise,

More Or Less True

After they have been married so long wife's only appeals for more money.
 A smart woman is one who lets man think she is so dumb she is over-awed by his smartness.
 We'd like to see science explain why flapper's mirror always tells her she needs more paint and pow der when everybody else can see she already has too much on.
 The ideal husband is one who can ditch his craving for eats when he gets home and finds his wife is too tired to get up a meal.
 There used to be few girls who boasted their faces were their for tunes, but even the homeliest can boast now hers costs one.
 It always makes husband sick for his wife to get the notion he ought to be eating lot of things he doesn't like to keep him from getting sick.
 We never have heard of a man wanting to divorce his wife be- cause she knew all about cooking and hadn't the slightest idea what slam was.
