Notwithstanding the general belief
that the past week was quiet In the

The steel market was quiet during
the past week 30 far as domestic de-
mand for commercial products vas con-
cerned. The threatening international
situation appeared 10 have some effect,
~ II was said that consumers were
prompted to proceed more cautiously
with their purchases pending further
Developments.
Prices showed q somewhat easier
tendency. with structurals. sheets anl
plates being offered at concession from
the prevailing price OF $40 per 100
pounds. Bars were firmly maintained
at this price owing TO the brisk de.
mand for the product from ammunition
manufacturers, as well as from domes-
tic harvester coscerns.
The rate Of production continued un-
changed. with mills operating at be
tween 70 and rs per cent. of capacity.
There was no change in deliveries and
incoming business was about on an
even level with the rate prevailing in
tho recent past.
Among foreign orders reported dur
ing the week was one for 1000 cars
from the Russian Government. which
brings the total from that source up

A NON-ALCOHOLIC TONIC

Many people need tonic at this
time of year, o.d folks, weak folks,
thin people, people who are run down
from too much work-and vacation
still many weeks away. Nervous peo-
pie also need a tonic but cannot safely
take alcohol.
A non alcoholic tonic that will build
up the blood and strengthen the
nerves is what most people need and
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are exactly
that.
The one symptom of thin blood that
everybody recognizes is pallor 1t
shows so gradually that other people
are liable to notice 1t before you do.
But it is important that you should
notice and heed the warning because
the thin blood that causes the pallor
betrays some drain on the body or
some poisoning by its own waste ma
terials that, If not corrected will re-
suit in physical breakdown and i'll

DR.. Williams Pink Pills not only
build up the blood but they have a
direct strengthening action on the
nerves. AS they are free from mar
cotics and any harmful or poisonous
drugs they are safe for every menu

To Provide Homes
For Rural Teachers

A permanent home, provided by the
school community for rural school
teachers, is giving great satisfaction
where it is in vogue, according to Har-
old w. Foght in a bulletin just issued
by the United States Bureau of Edu-
cation.
While out of 5000 teachers reply
Ing to Mr.. Foght's inquiries only 10
live in homes provided by the COM
munity, the bulletin shows that teach
ers who have such homes find it pos
sible to become permanent comm nifty
leaders. I'm the few communities re-
porting permanent homes" declares
the bulletin. the teachers are usually
able to project the schools into the
home and draw the home close to the
school. Where teachers cottages are
provided, these, aside from making
the teachers own lives more attrac-
tive, naturally become rallying centers
for all community activities"
The investigations of Mr.. Foght re-
veal that in rural United States the
average time for each public school
teacher to remain in any one school
is less than two school years of 140
days each. This average" says the
bulletin. lis very much less for a ma
jority of the teachers the few perma-
nent, professional teachers alone
bringing it up close to the two-year
level"
AS the average age when teaching
Is begun is 19 years, and the average
number of years taught is only 6 Y, +,
the bulletins statistics show that the
rural public schools of the country arc
taught largely by young unmarried
people who have no idea of following
teaching as a profession.
The conclusions of Mr.. Foght are:
so long as teachers continue to be
peripatetics, the best results in COM
munity leadership can not be expected.
change from amateur to professional
teaching in the rural schools would be
fastened by giving the teacher a SAL
ary that would enable him TO provide
comfortably for his family, and by
compelling the community, through
legal enactment to erect a teachers
cottage in close proximity to every
school plant"
