line. the notable exceptions being
those having to do with building

recognized that they will make n
good showing b.! next spring. The
matter that concerns those who
look TO the future is as to how long
the prosperity Is to last. On TINS
point most observers are agreed. IN
view of the conditions and commit
ments. that 1t should continue until
after the close Of next year. This Is
regardless OF the continuance or out
come OF the war. The steel mills
are operating to capacity and Will
be able to do so for long period
after export demands for belligerent
purposes have ceased. Any slack

That children with such antecedents.

Of the war, so that the youngest Of the
