Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 1.-THE Curb

staged a modest rally today in the Sec

losses suffered during the selling wave

few of the aviation issues improved
slightly.
Movement Irregular.
Electric Bond & Share, one of the
leaders in point of volume, rose 3 points,
then declined almost that much and
by midday regained nearly 2 points.
Associated Gas & Electric, which has
recently entered New England territory,
started out fractionally lower, but
steadily advanced and held its gains.

taken over Interstate Fuel, was active

Few of the Americans who will

With a year Of unexampled prosperity

about my boy friends-I have
quite a number who are willing

How are young folks to form
