demand for steel to restore railroad
plant, equipment, factories. machinery
etc; demands which will not be salts
fled without our help. 1t is also es-
timated that five or six million tons Of
shipping have been lost, displaced or
worn out by the war. Great Britain
has already suffered to the extent of
100000 tons thru submarines, de-
probation and extra wear. Her ship
yards will face a shipbuilding boom
after the war. Our own shipyards are
overwhelmed with orders, and prob
ably will be for two or three years to
cUme, while shipbuilding plants are be-
ing started all over the world; all of
which means a tremendous demand for
steel, SO that the United States, much
the largest producer in the world, will
be called upon to fill a considerable
portion of this void. Prices may not
continue as high as now, but with such
demands in view, no great decline will
be possible. Whether in war or peace.
the next two or three years are almost
sure to be periods of great activity in
the American steel industry and the
volume of business will be large. tho
the ratio of profits may decline.
While this is the period of summer
quiet, the trade outlook is regarded as
satisfactory, and this in spite of har-
vest which promises to be below the
ten-year average. Corn improved
somewhat in condition last week, but
cotton deteriorated further, and prices
again touched the high level. Our
wheat harvest is now in full progress
and prices of this staple are very
high. There is little doubt that the
profits of agriculture for the current
year will be exceedingly satisfactory.
The better outlook, however, is based
more upon our industrial activity than
crops. 1t must not be forgotten that
the whole country, especially the Sec
ton east of the Mississippi, is power
fully affected by war initiation, easy
money, the enormous addition to our
gold supplies, the new Federal Reserve
law and the great expansion of credit
facilities, plus continued foreign pur-
chases of munitions. These are factors
upon which our present activity is
based, and they promise to carry us
forward until their force is exhausted:
contingency not yet in sight and
cEe likely to be checked only by weak
ered buying capacity. which is prob
ably many months away"

SIDE TALKS
The jealous Wife.
BY RUTH CAMERON.


What a disconnected look Mrs.
NJ has around her mouth" COM
mented Molly, the little stenographer-
lady ST wonder what makes her so :?
She seems to have so much to be
happy about"
''She can't be happy said the Lady
ho-always-k nows-somehow. mo one
can be happy who is so jealous
''Jealousi' said Molly. Why I
didn't think her husband over looked
at another woman. He always has his
head in a book when I see him."
Exactly said the Lady, land
that's Just why Mrs. M is jealous
of his books. Don't you know that
people who have the jealous tempera-
ment can be jealous or other things
besides people?''
don't know Mrs M, so I
couldn't fully appreciate the Lady's
analysis of her case, but L do know a
great many women who make them
selves (and other people, unhappy be-
cause they are jealous of some interest
of their husbands.
There is the woman who is jealous
of her husbands male friends. Very
likely she associates freely with her
women friends, but when he brings
his friends to the house or goes off
with them for an evening she feels ag-
Rr1eVeQ- anu tries TO make MIN feel
that he has done something wrong.
Then there's the woman who is so
jealous of her husbands sports.
l know one woman who hates her
husbands boat almost as much as she
would hate another woman. He had
always owned and loved boats, and
she knew it when she married him.
She was timid about the water and
refused to go with him. He insisted
on spending some of his holidays on
the water. and she stayed at home and
sulked and clouded the whole day for
him by her manner of receiving him
on his return.
r Other women are jealous of golf or
tennis or hunting or any sport which
they do not understand.
But the most unreasonable jealousy
of all is the jealousy which many
women feel of their husbands inter-
est in his business.
They are the chief beneficiaries of
this interest and yet they are unjust
enough to be jealous of it.
OF course there are plenty of men
who by their absolute neglect of their
wives for pleasure or business give
good reason for jealousy.
But it is not these women I mean
and let no husband who deserves
blame cite this article to his wife as a
reason why he should not receive it

And now the people of Greece are
c.smoring again for an active partici-
patton in the war by their country.
But 1t is rather late in the day for
Greece to make much of a bargain for
whatever may be the spoils of victory,
should the Allies win. Almost every
thing worth while that the Allies
might award if they dictate the peace
terms must surely have been parceled
out by this time. There is only so
much of Europe to go the rounds.

Maybe you think that it must have

you take it right Now Billy might

AS salad dressing plays such an i'm
portant part in the success of a salad
it is only right that we should be IA
miliar with the different kinds of
dressings and know them by their
proper names, also what mixture or
ingredients they are best suited for
The typical dressings are: French,
mayonnaise and a boiled or cooked
dressing. Mayonnaise and French
dressings are never cooked. Every
thing that goes into either of these
is cold, and olive oil is the important
factor.
Mayonnaise-Yolk of one egg, one
half level teaspoon mustard, one-half
level teaspoon salt and pepper, two
tablespoons vinegar, three-fourths cup
olive OIL Beat yolk of egg. add mus
tard, vinegar; beat and add two ia
blespoons oil; beat until it disappears,
then two tablespoons more and re-
peat process. To be used with meat,
fish or fowl; also vegetables.
French Dressing-Three table,
spoons oil, one tablespoon vinegar,
one-half tablespoon salt, one-fourth
tablespoon pepper (white). Add salt
and pepper to oil, add vinegar slowly
and beat well. To be used with the
palmer vegetable salads, such as to-
mato, cucumber. cabbage and lettuce.

The Croaker.
A croaker sat on the grumbler's
bench and croaked that the town was
dead and ne'er did once he lift his
hand to push his town ahead. He
cursed and swore with all his might
such a town he ne'er did see-the
times were dull, the stores were bum,
as bum as bum could be. And SO he
sat from early morn, each bright and
happy day, and croaked and croaked
with all his might till the summer
passed away. And then one night
while the wind blew cold when the
winter time come, he croaked his last
and closed his eyes upon his earthly
home. But when he reached the 9TH
er shore-the city bright and fair-it
was no good, twas dull and dead, he
ne'er would enter therei And since
there was no other place, to the
croaker's fate he went, unmourned by
man, unwept, unsung-none cared a

PROVE POPULAR
With ALL FANS

Heinie's Tavern was the scene Of
much JOY and pleasure last evening
when the management gave dance
in honor of the visiting Santa Clara
University ball players, who will play
the locals, beginning on Saturday.
The fame of the good looking crowd
had gone afar and when the hour
came for the beginning of the dance
there was a royal welcome given by
a large crowd. .:.-.-
The Santa Clara boys proved to be
excellent disciples of TeTpischOre and
if the crowd plays ball as we'll as they
scattered over the polished floor then
one may look for a great battle when
the visitors meet the strong 10Th In
fantry team on Saturday afternoon.
The Santa Clara boys are pleased
with Honolulu and have been spend
ing much of their time at the beach,
but this afternoon they will begin
practise at Athletic Park in prepare
ton for the series. The boys will be
out in uniform about 2:30.
