STOCKS ADVANCE ' VIGOROUSLY; EASY ■EY SITUATION Reserve Bank Rediscounts Increase $51,000,000 — Ratio Falls to 76.8. Average Stock Prices Average price of twenty industrial stocks Thursday was 110.50 up .26 Average price of twenty rails was 96.19, up .93 to new 1924 hlth. By United Pres* XEW YORK. Nov. 21. —Increase of approximately $51,000,000 in re discounts of the local Federal Reserve Bank was the reflection of re- | cent reactionary activity .n the stock i market and accounted for a slight fall off in the institutions ratio, which stood at 76.8 against 77.2 a week ago. But. despite the greater demand of Wall Street banks upon the central reservoir, the latter's total rediscounts were still not much more than half of last year’s, demonstrating why the hoard paid no heed to reports circulated this week in the speculative community that an in- ► crease in the rediscount rate might be promulgated. With the continued ease indicated in the money situation, stocks went ahead in vigorous fashion in the early dealings Opening prices included: Profit taking became more general toward noon and considerable irregularity cropped out in various sections of the list. However, the forward movement went ahead in Individual issues. Allis Chalmers was artive and strong, reaching anew high on the movement at 64%. Some time ago a group of prominent New York financiers acquired a controlling interest in the company and added to their holdings on a drop from around 65 to 56.

‘WIDOW OF LAIE PRESIDENT DIES V (Continued From Pago Ono) The Nation which so admired the fortitude with which Mrs. Harding ! bore up under the many dramatic chapters in her career, as first lady of the land, was quick to send words lof good cheer to her bedside. Admired By All 1 Probably no other woman in the ! history of American national life i ever heid so securely, the admiration of the country as did Mrs. Hard- : ing. Reports of her last illness drew I almost the same universal interest |as did those during the attack •hioh j she suffered two years g:3b in \Ya,shj ington. Behind the tragedy of her death i is the story of a brave but a losing fight against the malady which, do- ! spite the most skillful attention had ! reappeared in virulent form at critical times in Mrs. Harding's life for I the last twenty years. ■ Its first appearance in serious form Interrupted for a time the I idyllic business partnership which t the Hardings had formed on the : Marion Star. It was iti the days when Warren ; Harding was his own editor, reporter j and business manager that illness forced Mrs Harding to give up her ; place on the paper as manager of cir culation. Stricken at Washington | Igit-r, in the White House, her life was all but despaired of When ; Hlio dually recovered It was made j plain to her that another serious ati tack in all probability would be the I last. But :a a few weeks, apparently without giving a thought to her own ■ health. Mrs. Harding undertook to , ueeotnpanj the President on hia Alaskan trip, which ended in his lentil it San Frai.-dsco. Then amazing her friends by her ilmo-t st-per human self-control nod -tri-tig !i.

Although she never or.r cob lapsed, her friends km-w Th.. burden of being a President's wife had n; irked her as . -rtairdy as it had t:- i.’k'-i and clam.i-.i Mr. Harding himself. Her health began declining rapid!’, bii.-rtlv aft. r '• er lr: -t *s funeral Mrs Harding moved out of the White house, returning to Ma Hon, where she prepared to make iter permanent homo at peaceful White flaks, surrounded by lifelong friend" Tragedy at White Oaks But even White flaks was not without its tragedy. T' > u. -id ns ago Brigadier General Sawyer ; dropped dead and the shook of h;* pa-suig contributed appro- .ab’.y to I Mra Harding's decline.

The fact that Hr. Sawyer had treated Mrs Harding for many ; years was an important factor to his appointment to the position of person and physician to Mr Harding when he became President. "I)r Sawyer is the only man in the world who can really help my ■ wife.’' the President said at the 1 ..no. 1 am happy that he can be near us , here.*' FATHER WANTED SON \, Girl Site Wits Trained to Handle His Business Affixing j /ft/ f nitrd Pro* MARION, Ohio, Nov 21. —Ainos i KUng wanted a son. A daughter was born to him. Nothing daunted, ! Kling, decided to train the daughter, i Florence, an he would have trained a non, The future Mrs. Harding was horn in Marion Ohio, on Aug. 15, 1860. By reason of her father's determination to train her thoroughly in the details of his business, she waa his constant companion as a girl. She, worked in his bank, and drove about the country with him when he went to \arious farms ho owned. Bate in the seventies, Florence Kling met Henry Tie Wolfe, whom : she man-ieit in Marion. Soon after the birth of her only son. Marshall ; Eugene He Wolfe, in Prospect. Ohio, Jin IS3O. she obtained a divorce. Her I divorced husband died some time | prior to her marriage to Warren Harding. Her son. Marshall Eugene Da j Wolfe, died in 1915 of tuberculosis in Denver, Colo. Met at a Dance Florence Iv ling first met Warren Harding at a dance in the eighties. Despite the strenuous objections of her father, Harding began an ardent courtship. Kling told bis daughter the struggling young publisher of the Marion Star had no future.” Florence, however, defied parental wrath and married Harding in Marion July 8, IS9I. Amos Kling disowned her and for years would not speak to his son-in-law. though they became reconciled eventually. The outstanding feature of the life of Warren Harding and h!s wife was an idyllic partnership which first asserted itself when Florence Harding insisted she lie given charge of the circulation department of the Marion Star. Throughout Harding’s presidential campaign Mrs. Harding was constantly with tier husband. She dispensed a gracious hospitalty at the "front porch" and accompanied the future President on iiis oceasoianl trips. As mistress of the White House, Mrs. Harding let. no threats of malignant diseaso Interfere with the social duties. Receptions followed teas, and dinners followed receptions, yet Mrs. Harding gave no thought for herself. Thought of Others Rather she thought constantly of others.' When White Houtf police-
