 heir mind, relieves their mind of the monotony of their daily stud ies, and places them in better condition for future studies. Did you ever ponder over an example for two or three days? The longer you study on it, the worse you get, but if you will get up and have something to attract your mind from it few moments, then sit down and try it again. did you notice how much easier and quicker you can master the example?

Fx-Judge Z. H Gary, chairman ot lhe
hoard of the United States Steel Corpora
tion. before starting yesterday on the Lusi-
.ania for his usual summer vacation IN
F,1,rone. discussed the outlook IN the steel
Industry and the future Of his own cor
poration, saying:
From reports received by me from the
United States Steel Corporations Western
offices and other connections, almost up 10
rh,. last moment before leaving my Office
last night, | 90 not apprehend that, gen
orally speaking this seasons crops VIII
saow much. if any, deterioration. either IN
c,,alifv or quantity as compared with last
year.
with these crop conditions in view, i
believe that If any Of the railroads nave
DELAYED equipment or other orders, owing
10 the recent action Of the Attorney Gen
eraI in regard 10 freight rates, or from
previous gloomy views of the crop situa-
4ion. they will again re-enter the markets
FOR material for extensions and improve
Inents. Therefore. ] look for a turn for the
better IN the steel business. and in other
railroad supply lines, as soon as good crops
become more assured.
i consider that the last half Of the pres
ent calendar year in the steel business
generally viii make good a showing as
the period ending June 80. 1 do not be-
lieve there will be very much further re-
action from the present level. Business
generally is not showing any further falling
of. and IT some lines slight improvements.
There viii be no necessity for any new
financing by the Steel Corporation this
year. nor from present indications for a
