Former Chief of Police and Mrs. w. J. Rawlings of Parsons place will observe the 62nd anniversary of their wedding on Thursday. MT. and Mrs. Rawlings are practically of the same age and have lived all of their lives in this vicinity.
 They were married at 1s South High street in the house which at that time was the Baptist parsonage. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. George H.

 VIGOROUS DEFENSE 0N DEBT QUESTION

Frenchmen and Englishmen," he said. ITO me it seems doubtful whether all Europe is not in danger of becoming a colony of those who are luckier than we. The fact that the colonies sat down together to work out amelioration for each other because others did not give them amelioration-that is some- thing that cannot be removed from the history of the Paris negotia- tions'
 Speaks With Vigor The foreign minister, despite his recent illness, delivered his speech with great vigor. He was felt in great measure to have taken the wind out of the nationalist sails, by stating unequivocally that Germany would not stand for the installation of a commission in the Rhineland as the price of its evacuation and by announcing that President Won Rindenburg. as we'll as the cabinet. stood behind manifestations against the treaty of Versailles scheduled for June e6, especially the clause acknowledging Germany's sole guilt for the war.
 Delay Is Criticized
 Count Westarp. in opening the de- bate, criticized the Reichstag for letting seven months pass without public discussion of foreign policy. He charged the government parties with absolutist practices in choking all debate, although the past months have been full Of grave problems such as the minority question. the meeting of the separations experts and the resignation Of Dr. Albert Voegler, one of Germany's chief del- egates.
 Recalling the tenth anniversary of the signing of the treaty of Versailles. he attacked the social-democrat cab iret members for the party's refusal to participate next Sunday in a dem- onstration against the treaty.
 Discussing the Young plan, Count Westarp asserted that Germany. in accepting the Dawes plan, had the excuse that it had been forced upon her, where as the Young plan was adopted by the experts acting as free agents. Its acceptance there- fore was far more serious. The Ma tionalists, he declared, would op- pose enslaving future generations as "contemplated by the plan" The re- mainder of his speech was taken up with an anaylsis of Dr. Stresemann's five years direction of foreign af- fairs, which he claimed was 8 com plete failure.

Special pispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 26.-Little danger
is anticipated that production or prices
in general will become too high in the
third quarter. What may happen, how
ever, Is that expectations will rise too
high. The incurable optimism Of the
American people frequently leads them
to expect too much. When those ex-
pectations fail Of realization, they are
CORRESPONDENCE disappointed.
There is already talk of an Autumn
revival Of demand" in some lines. A
revival from what? Demand in most
lines Of endeavor has shown a seasonal
diminution which in comparison with
other years is entirely negligible and
there is nothing to revive from. With
this angle in view, sound, conservative
business men are well satisfied with
the outlook.
The broad basis for their satisfac-
ton is that the buying power Of the
country is undiminished. This Is
| shown by the sums being expended on
non necessities. Indoor amusements,
| such as theaters, movies, concerts, lee
lures and similar entertainments, are
drawing at the rate of $1,750O00, 900
| a year and this is their dull season.
over So ,000, 100000 will be spent this
year on vacation trips and travel.
There are now radio sets in about IS
per cent of the homes of the country.
This buying power Is keeping pro-
duction in most lines at unprecedented
heights. The steel consumers are buy
ing we'll ahead in some instances and
production Is extraordinarily high. The
automobile factories are just swinging
into active production Of new models,
with an increased impetus to the IN
dustry in general. Heavy building
construction is active.
Mines are active in both the ferrous
and non-ferrous fields. The stocks OF
lumber are relatively low and demand
is sufficient to keep the mills salts
fed. Cash is trickling into the farm
er's pockets from the harvesting of his
products and the itinerant laborer is
billing up dollars on the roads and In
the fields which will be spent later on.
The automobile and electrical equip
ment demand has frightened the out
look for the non-ferrous metals, espe-
cially copper.

CURB TICKERS SWAMPED
IN GROWTH OF BUSINESS
spsc,al D,spatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. July 26.-With boys
collapsing on the floor of the New York
Curb Exchange trying to handle the
roaring volume of sales, the exchange
faces an urgent physical problem in
gearing itself up to the 5000, 000-shars
days.
Wednesdays sales of 3,584,700 shares
brought personnel and machinery close
to the breaking point and yesterday
was another Furnishing day, with sales
over 100000. At times, the Curb
tickers have been an hour behind the
market The tickers now in use will
handle million-share day comfortably
and have tossed off 100000 shares
with a lag of only minutes. But
100000 and upward, with the Their
mometer paralleling the rise, is almost
beyond the capacity of men and ma
chimes.
The exchange engineers have begun
work on the installation of printers OF
the same type as those now being in
stalled by the Stock Exchange. The
latter has been at work for more than
year and has finished only partial
installment. The Curb Exchange is now
the second largest stock exchange In
the world, and must replace its 5000
tickerS with the new printers.

CURB FAVOR|TES
RESUME ADVANCE
Trading Continues Active.
Utilities and Investment
Trusts Are Featured.
BY HARRY III. BECKER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 25.-Fayored is
sues resumed their advance, some
reaching their best prices on record, in
an active session on the Curb Exchange
today. Although the credit and
brokers' loan developments brought in
some realizing and experimental short
selling, these offerings were absorbed
in a confident fashion.
Attention in the early part of the
day was conferred largely on the new
Shenandoah Corporation shares, which
made such an suspicious debut Thurs
Gay. The issue opened for $4,000 shares
at a new high of $3.50 and before mid
day reached 38 in enormous trading.
The excitement aroused by the new
conner caused many traders to desert
other recent favorites, and this was re-
flected in comparatively few features
among the old leaders in the power
and light section. 81.
Investment trusts, Goldman Sachs
especially. which is identified with the
new corporation, continued to meet
heavy realizing without eXerting an in
fluence in other members. Triconti-
mental Corporation and TranSameriCa
were in demand and firm.
A few utilities with pool support, or
favored by merger prospects. extended
their gains or retraced the losses sus-
tanned in the previous session. Ameri-
can Light & Traction mounted to a
new peak, and Utilities Power 81 Light,
rejecting the activity of the "a stock
on the big board, pushed into record
high territory. Standard Power &
Light, a BylleSby property, controlling
the Philadelphia company, made FUR
Their squirt of several points. Middle
West Utilities, the Buffalo, Niagara &
Eastern issues; American Gas 81 Elec-
trio. Northern States Power and Long
Island Lighting were also prominent
strong spots.
The new Grigsby- Grunow split-up
shares were actively supported, while
the old stock crossed its former top on
a 5-point advance. Aluminium Corpora
ton, with 10-point gain in the fore
noon; Marconi International, U. S. Fin
iShing Pennroad, Continental Diamond
and American Cynamid B MADE up a
we'll diversified group Of strong insect
laneous induStrialS.
Oils were again easy in the early
trading. with Standard of Indiana close
to the lowest level of the year. and
Vacuum and Humble also reactlng a
point or so. Cities Service, which had
such a sharp decline few days ago,
made a further sharp recovery, while
CoSGen continued upward.
There was no change in the AVA
tion. mining or motor groups, some
sapging further, largely owing to neg
lect rather than any unfavorable news.
