Iron and Steel Review

BUSINESS OUTLOOK MORE OPTI
MYSTIC.

While general business has been de-
pressed as the result OF uncertainty
caused by muckrakers, political agita-
tors. the inaction of the senate, and the
pending supreme court decisions there
are now indications OF an early arous
ing of activity. II has been marvellous
that in view Of the bumper crops last
year, and the present outlook, that the
business of the country should have for
mouths past been practically at a
standstill.
There are people who do not look tor
any radical change in conc itions until
after the presidential election. yet there
Is no reason. except the unrest caused
by ~agitatols, why business should not
speedily improve. The big industries
have been standing still. When the
iron and steel trade is active the lum-
Der and allied industries move IN har'
mony, and all Of these are affected for
the moment with inocuous d%esuetude,
but now that the bugbear OF the su.
preme court decision has been brush
ed away, there ought TO be more life
injected into business. Henry Clews,
the Wall Street fnancier, who keeps
close touch with the pulse Of business
says
The Trust decisions being tor all
practical purposes out OF the way the
threat of extremely radical tariff revis-
ion having been measurably removed,
the possibility OF international compli-
cations in connection with the Mexican
situation having been eliminated by
the obviously improved prospects for
early and permanent peace-all these
are influences that the financial market
has been sufficiently, %wideawake to re-
cognize and properly appraise. II re-
mains for trade and industry to, in
turn, appraise them at their proper
value.
"rhe fundamental factor in the stu
alton which merits close attention is
the progress of the crops, We have
now arrived at the period when this
will be the controlling consideration in
the calculations Of experienced opera
tors. Thus far the promise ia AN eN-
cellent one. The acreage Of winter
wheat has been largely increased and
the condition Of the plant is suggestive
of a harvest that will rank we'll with
the best previous years The planting
conditions for spring wheat have been
excellent. and it is estimated that there
has been an increase in acreage Of 10
per cent.
IL the Congress viii lay aside inves
tigating everything on earth and in the
skies, dispose OF the matter for which
II wac convened and 20 home, we may
reasonably look for d little more bust
ness than the country has experienced
the last lew months
Ii Is an indefensiblo outrage that
this great country with It's boundless
resources and possibilities is should be

President Mcvey Discussing Home
Building. Looks at Question From
Dweller's Viewpoint

President McVey delivered a lecture
to the Home Economics class this
morning at 1880. He spoke on the
house plan from the dweller's stand
point. He believes that a house
should be adapted to the country
where 1t Is located. For instance he
says that a Swiss house should not
be built or the prairies OF North
Dakota but should be in the style of
this country. There should be har-
mony between the interior and the ex-
terror of the dwelling. One should
plan the inside first for living pur-
poses and then the plan Of the outside
should be considered.
President McVey believes that there
should be at least one large living
room and that the stairway should
be closed in this country. There should
be individual bedrooms and more
than n bathroom in each house.
The president dwelt considerably on
the exterior of the home. He thinks
that a bungalow Is q suitable house
for a prairie life. The house should
be on m side of the lot rather thar
in the center and this gives more room
for lawn. This would probably tend
to keep the houses farther apar 60
that plenty of sunshine will be lei
into each home.
This lecture is one of a series to be
delivered before the home economics
class.
