MORE THAN NORMAL
Steel Making Industry Shows
Gratifying Increase.
May Be Taken to Mean Prosperous
Activity for Other Occupations
Confidence About All That Is
Now Needed.

There was a significant item in the
business news the other day. 1t was
the statement Of leading steel trade
Journal that this country's steel.
making capacity for the present
has been practically reached, and that
buyers who omitted to do their shop
ping in that line early will have to
wait their turn some time next year.
The significance Of this item lies in
the basic character of the industry
whose services have been bespoken
for months to come. This is the age
of steel, and when that industry s
plants and workers are thus fully EN-.
ployed it is because the materials they
supply are wanted and in active de-
mand by a thousand other lines OF
industry.
The crops, the steel trade and the
money market-these are the recog-
nized markers Of conditions that mean
prosperous activity for all other oc.
cupations ministerirg to the vital
needs of life as distinguished from its
luxuries and ornaments. When their
indications are favorable we know
that general prosperity is at least at
the door waiting to come In.
Nor may these signs be dismissed
as mere hectic flushes with the re-
mark "War orders!" Such comments
are superficial There is demand for
the tools Of destruction from warning
Europe. But there is also rising
and swelling demand for the materials
and tools Of construction here at
home.
ALI the American people seem to
need is just little more calm con-
fidence in their destiny and in their
ability to cross bridges when they
come to them, and little more reso-
luton to shut their ears to partisan
clamors and to make hay while the
sun is shining with hard-headed busi-
ness judgment, for the sea Of pros
perity to rise to full tide and float to
fortune all who are prompt, energetic
and bold
