 The result of this survey largely will settle the moot question whether there is to be any surplus of steel for commercial bueysr and how much Whether there is something for open market consumption as the majority view maintains or not definite cur- tailment policy for nonwar industry and probably some form of licensed distribution promises now to come to a head.

GREAT WORLD WAR

As we enter the great world war and gird ourselves for real and terrible par ticipation in this calamity of calami- ties, a call is sounded not only to awaken the instincts of pity and succor. but q warning call to every man, woman anu child to protection against individual harm
 It is not possible by ordinary means to visualize the immensity of the sltua- tion nor the immensity of the co-opera- ton required The greatest needs ot vast disasters are dwarfed by the amounts of money and materia which must be poured out 10 meet the present crisis. There has never been anything like it before in all the world. We are forced to try to grasp 1t by a negative process, Vision, seeing with the eyes, cannot aid, for physical evidence is lacking. To say that human feeling in the greatest part of the earth is strained to the breaking point, that pain in it's individual agony and collec- tive hideousness is beyond endurance, IS to struggle for expression. So we begin to visualize by conceding that it is be- yond our power to do so. In the same way our cooperation is to be measured. It is greater than we can imagine. Every one must do more than he is able to do The circumstances of age, sex, responst- bility have determined the exact parts to be played. Yours and mine are as definite and obligatory as that of the man sighting gun, and must be per formed with the same spirited and unre- hitting willingness. There shall be mill itary miliitancy here, too, and the knowl- edge that the great rank and file of the Red Cross-"the army behind the army at home-is carrying through, fighting it's own kind of battle with flawless courage,
 is the greatest single support to fault less morale that the soldiers and sailors can possibly have.

race and which undoubtedly precipitated the lynchings complained off
 Tt is my strong conviction" con- tinued the letter, .tnat enlightened and self-respectiDg members of your race are not in sympathy with the commission Of crime. Unfortunately, your resolutions and similar protests heretofore emanat- ing from representative organizations of your race dealing with kindred sub iects, are silent concerning this supreme outrage upon law and civilization, which too often provokes communities to sub stitute summary vengeance for the form of organized justice recognized by law. trust your organization will, by con certed action with similar organizations among them: That personal outrages and violence, especially against helpless women and children will not be toler- ated by any civilized community, put will provoke prompt retaliation of com munity vengeance which is difficult, 1T not impossible to control, and the surest way to discourage lynchings is to convince the lawless ele- inent that such provocative outrages will not be tolerated palliated or shielded by good citizens of any race, but that all races will join in rebuking the offense with the same zeal which characterize their criticisms of those citizens who, in the wrong exercise of natural indigna- ton, wrongfully unite to personally pun ish the original offense and offenders.
 T am confident the failure of your resolutions to incorporate this doctrine was inadvertent, and I am equally sure you will be prompt to avail your organ ization of the only practical method by which they can be of real assistance to the executive department of this state in efforts to discourage lynchings and maintain supremacy of our courts"
 The governor closed his letter by say ing that he is determined ito enforce supremacy of the courts and juries in this state to the extent of my authority.

The Folly of Flirting
 With Danger!

S Every time you get off of a car and go behind 1t in your attempt to cross the street, you are talk ing your life in your hands.
 Every time you get off a car and walk up to the front and cross directly in front of a moving car you are doing the same thing again.

opposite direction might hit you; you know that motormen are usually careful and this is not likely to happen. But what about the reckless auto drivers passing in the opposite direction?
 The answer is, that nine out of ten accidents where people are hurt crossing the street, they have been hurt by an auto.
