 New Haven Ordinance.

there must be good and bad. But these young men should be protected. I believe no woman has right to go out on the street and tempt a fellow being"
 Wants City Ordinance
 What Mrs. Young wants the all dermen to do is pass an ordinance making any girl over 12 who ap- pears on the street with bare legs liable to arrest.
 There is too much of this fad which allows girls of 15 and 16 10 go proving the city streets with their | legs exposed several inches above their knees" continued the little churchwoman. T know what pres ent-day morals are. Any showy blonde who comes into town can tell you that a few hours after she lands here"
 Descendant of early Huguenot set tiers, Mrs. Young believes America is the Biblical Land of Milk and Honey" But she thinks there's too much of honey on view.
 If we ruin America through breaking down the old moral stand ards we shall have no place to go,'' she declared. Remember, these fads are copied from Europe"

Reports Submarine Officer Complaining to Wash- ington on Commanders Conduct Discounted by Inventor.

Milford, Aug. (Py-Simon Lake. owner of the rescue submarine De- lender said today there was "but little truth" in reports that there were serious differences between the commander of the vessA, Captain Sloan Danenhower. and Lieut.. Com der Palmer H. Dunbar, in charge of navy test of the Defender.
 Lake declared that while the two men did not get along together" he did not think their personal hos tlllty was of a grave enough nature to cause Danenhower to go to Wash inSton to complain against Dunbar, as reported. The reports quoted Dan enhower as saying he would not risk the lives of himself and crew so long as Dunbar remains in charge at the surface"
 Saw Men Quarrel
 Lake said he had been at the sub marine base at New Lopdon yester- day during operations of the De- fender. He observed that Danen- hover and Dunbar had uuarrelled but there were no bitter feelings and nothing grave enough to cause worry"

 T love young people and I want to protect them against them selves,' Mrs. Young declared in an interview today.
 Exposing Too Much
 Girls and women,' she added, 'are exposing too much of them selves on the streets of our city. principally because of ignorance or innocence, while man, who is of d rougher moral nature. keeps him. self covered because he is sly"
 Her blue eyes grew tender as she considered the peris of unprotect- ed Yale students.
 New Haven" she explained, has her own particular problem. Yale university, beautiful college, erected and maintained for the good Of the country, is here and a splendid body of students comes here each year-though of course

MARKET RALLIES IN BRISK FASHION
Call Money Drop Starts Up
 Swing Once More .

New York. Aug. IP)-The stock market rallied briskly under the leadership of the steels today. when call money dropped from a re- newal rate of 10 to per cent. The upturn, however. was aos until after further iqui lat;on of inc utilities. The market turned dull on the decline, but attivty picked up rapidly when the list started upward.
 Confidence Restored
 Speculative confidence in the market was restored by private London cables indicating that no change would be made in the Bank of England discount rate tomorrow, by the cessation Of selling pressure against some of the public utility stocks, and by the announcement that freight car loadings in the week ended July 27 had set new high record for the season.
 |. s. Steel common reganed it's old role as tn" market leader by moving up points 10 a new high record at 9f6l2. Crucible advanced Az points 10 a new peak at 109. and gains of a point or two wer" registered by some of the other so- called independent steels.
 Trade Reports Cheerful
 Although steel trade centers re- ported a slight falling off in produc- ton last week. the weekly trade re- views continued cheerful, pointing out that July Pig Iron output was the third largest monthly total on record and that production for the first seven months also set a new high. exceeding the previous high mark in 1923 by nearly 4 per cent.
 Short covering played in inn rortant part in the days advance. Bear" traders sold stocks freely earlier in the week as a result Of the wide open break in some of the utilities on the Chicago stock eX- change and on rumors of an increase in the London rate which they figured would result in heavy with drawal of funds from New YorK. Many timid spectators and inves- tors sold stocks. but brokerage houses reported that there was no unusual volume of long liquidation by powerful financial interests.
 Rails Take Up Turn
 Rails. which had been rather slug sish all week. snapped back in brIsk fashion. Chesapeake & Ohio ral- lied 10 IA points, and Achison moved up 10 q new high at o07 F. New York Central, Great Northern preferred, "Nickel Plate.' Nhesa- pcakc Corp. and Missouri Pacific sold or more points higher

Lake Denies E'Defender's" Captain
 And Naval Officer Definitely Split

The first time Lake heard that Danenhower had gone to Washing ton was last night when Mrs. Lake in a telephone conversation with Mrs. Danenhower learned the De, fender commander had gone to the national capital. Mrs. Danenhowel did not give the reason. as Mrs. Lake did not ask it.
 Explains designations
 Lake took the occasion today tc forestall any possibility that news oi the leaving of two members of the Defender crew would be linked with the Danenhower- Dunbar difficulty.
 He said the two sailors had quit for personal reasons, one because he had accepted a permanent job
 T was afraid that when this came out it would be connected with the feeling between the captain and the navy commander he said.
 Last winter when the Defender and the navy salvage vessel Mallard commanded by Dunbar. were work. ing on tests one of the Defenders communication cables was broken Danenhower charged that members Of the Mallard's crew had deliber ately cut it. Dunbar contended f ! was accidentally cut by a snow shovel.
 Six of the Mallard's crew were re ported at the time as being unde, suspicion and held prisoners aboas, the navy vessel as a result of the incident. An official inquiry wa: made but the results were never made known. From that time or reports have persisted that Danen- hover and Dunbar have been hostile to each other.

Wall Street Briefs

New York, Aug. LF} - Wal! street is looking for comparatively tight money for the remainder of the year. Yesterdays drop from 12 to per cent in the call loan rate was not very convincing. as time money followed an opposite course. little moving at less than 9 per cent. While reports from London do not agree as to whether the Bank O. England will raise it's discount rate this week, or a week or two later. it is taken for granted that it will be raised, which will impose an ad- ditional drain on the New York money market, at a time of ex- banding seasonal demands.
 s40.000,000 investment trust merger has been agreed upon by the directors Of General American Investors Co.,. Inc, and Second General American Investors Co.,, Inc. These trusts sponsored by Lazard Freres and Lehman Bros. were organized in February 1927. and November, 1928.
 Pig iron production in July. at ,, 7S5, l2o tons, exceeds that of June by 67.S95 tons. and was the third largest monthly total on rec ord, being surpassed only by the figures for May 1929, and May 1923. The Iron Age reports today in it's market summary. However, the July daily rate of output. 122.. 100 tons, ranks fifth. having been exceeded by May, 1929, and 1928, and June, 1923 and 1929. The de- cline from the previous month this year was 1908 tons. or 146 per cent. The loss was entirely in steel making pig iron. the rate for mer- chant iron having shown a slight gain.
 The pig iron composite price of Iron Age is again where it was two weeks ago. having advanced 4 cents to s1S.42 gross ton. The finished steel composite remains at c.412 cents a pound.
