PICKLING HANDS
OF OLD FIGHTERS

In the days when fighters
did not wear gloves, they
used to pickle their hands In
a preparation which consisted
of two pounds of grated
horseradish and two quarts
white wine vinegar. For
days before a fight the men
soaked their hands in this
pickle until the skin became
as rough as a file and as
tough as leather.

NO NEW
ORDERS
TAKEN

No new orders were taken by the
Indiana Steel company at Gary last
week for standard rails owing to the
fact that the mills have orders so far
ahead that they would be able to do
any new business for earlier delivery
than the third quarter
The open hearth mill at Gary is run
ming at less than half its possible roll
ing capacity, but its operation is limited
by the supply of crude steel. which
must be divided with the billet mill.
The two merchant mills which are now
operating require $1,000 to 10000 tons
of billetts per month and other finish
ing departments of the leading inter-
est in the West use all the billets they
can obtain from Gary.
