STeeLTONeS
STEELTON TO HELP
WITH CELEBRATION
Schools Will Close and Big
Crowds Plan to See
Festivities

In right neighborly fashion Steelton
has accepted the invitation of Har-
risburg's Chamber of Commerce to
participate in the big Municipal I'M
provement Celebration now on.
Interest in the celebration is wide
spread in the Capitol City's smaller
neighbors to the south and large
festivities.
L. L. McGinnes superintendent of
the Steelton public schools, to-day is
sued an order permitting the closing
of all the borough schools tomorrow.
There will be no sessions all day so
that the pupils may go to Harrisburg
to witness the big water carnival and
the other festivities.
Steelton is particularly interested in
Harrisburg's celebration because of the
many similar improvements made in
Steelton in the same period over which
Harrisburg is celebrating. A new filter
plant, second to that of no other
borough in the State; more miles of
paved streets than any other borough;
a comprehensive sewer system im-
proved street lighting and the nucleus
of comprehensive park system, are
some of the things Steelton has ac-
quired since the awakening" in Har-
risburg.
Then, too, it has man now promi-
nent in Steelton affairs that played &
prominent part in the agitation which
caused the awakening" j. V. w.
Reynders, now president of Steelton's
council, as a resident of Harrisburg
was actively identified with the move
ment for a Greater Harrisburg. So
Steelton watches Harrisburg celebrate
with more than a neighborly interest.

Export Business Is Big
Factor in Steel Trade

In its weekly review of the steel
situation to-day, the Iron Age, a con-
servatiVe trade journal says:
Export business is more distinctly
the dominant factor in the steel trade
than in any previous month of the
war.
AS a whole the market is moving
upward, not uniformly nor yet with
any spectacular developments but in
response to the special influences that
have produced a scarcity of steel. This
week sheets, iron bars, hard steel bars
shafting and bolts and nuts in addi-
tion to wire products, have advanced,
without any expansion in domestic
consumption.
AS a rule the railroads are moving
deliberately. 4 few western lines are
inquiring at Chicago, including the
Santa Fe which recently placed 80
600 tons of rails in Colorado for it's
lines west of Kansas City. The Erie
has bought 10000 tons for next year
from the Illinois Steel Company and
the New York Central is figuring with
the mills. Even with car shortages in
sight, the attitude of railroad buyers
is decidedly conservative

their belief that they are fighting for

The marguerite sheets are also very
new. They are Of fine material, with a
deep hemstitched hem, below which IS

is carried out in the four-inch initial

These sheets are $50 each, but it
might be well TO state for the benefit
Of the uninitiated that this IS not ex-
orbitant for embroidered sheets. One
may pay for fine linen sheet, orna-
mented with French drawn work, as
high as S75. Needless to say, however,
these are used simply as top sheets
and are turned down far enough to
show their full eighteen inches OF ex-
uuisite handwOrk. The pillow cases to
match are Sl5 each. and are made long
enough to show the elaborate work on
the end.
Embroidered null spreads, with tape
