As | write | can hear the
buzzing of a new plane over
head. The old A cylinder ones
were condemned a short time
ago, as unsafe, because one
had caught fire while in the
air and burned, however, not
before the occupants had Fafe-
~ landed. These planes are
s cylinders-still not as large
as a battle plane which has u
cylinders. | have not seen the
new ones close at hand, but at
a distance they look very much
like the old ones which were
about 40 feet across the front
including wings. In fact the
wings are the longest part, as
each one is about II or Is feet
across.
When seen high in the air
they take on different shapes
as they turn. Sometimes re-
sembling a silver-sided fish
floating through oceans of air,
sometimes looking like a huge
mosquito-hawk and then as
they turn directly toward one
they look like little bird.
And one can hardly believe
that they can be such dreadful
life-destroyers. One day when
| was working in the garden |
heard the peculiar buzzing of
an aeroplane engine, | looked
IN every direction, but could
not see it, yet it seemed almost
over my head. 1t was cloudy
that morning and | kept watch
ing till finally | saw the plane
come cut from behind a big
blue cloud and in a minute dis
appear again. That seemed so
strange-men-real live men
above the clouds and | thought
Of the battle, once said to be
fought above the clouds"

j. S. CONTROL
Of STEEL TRADE
MAY CONTINUE
War Industries Board Finds
That Such Action May Be
p Necessary During the Per-
iod of Reconstruction,

Washington, Nov. 10. - Continue
ton Of government supervision of the
steel industry during the period of re-
adjustment to peace conditions was
recommended today by the steel com
nittee fthe American Iron and
Steel institute at its first meeting with
the war industries board since the
signing of the armistlce.
Optimism over the industrial and
labor outlook as affecting the steel
industry during the transition from
war to peace marked the conference
The belief was expressed that there
should be no abrupt alteration of
price or wage levels.
The chief purpose of the meeting,
1t was announced, was to preserve
industrial stability" and the discus
sion covered general trade conditions
national and international.
After the conferences officials in
explaining the steel committees
recommendation for continued super
vision by the war industries board
said that if price control were aban-
doncd and the rrice of steel decreased
those who stocked up with raw and
semi-finished materials at the fixed
price could not compete with those
VINO could go into the market with
lower prices prevailing. on the other
hand If the price should increase,
manufacturers with stocks on hand
would have an advantage. Govern
ment supervision and price control, it
was. explained, will prevent any such
conditions and stabilize the industry
until IT is on a peace basis.
Statement of Board
This formal Joint statement was is
sued by Chairman Baruch of the war
Industries board, and Ebert H. Gary,
chairman of the steel committee after
the meeting:
THE discussion followed general
lines regarding trade conditions. both
of national and international and with
the main purpose of preserving indus
trial stability,
The iron and steel institute com
mittee in the course of it's suggestions
made emphasis upon the point that a
of governmental super
vision of industry for the present was
highly desirable. 1t was agreed that
many changes in operating conditions |

lustments in war contracts will fol- |

many restrictions imposition non
war industries and the immediate de- !
mands of such industries and a prob
able resumption of federal state and |!
departments which had
been temporarily suspended and the
demands from abroad for foreign
construction which are ALREADY taking
lefinite shape, i is believed that the
transition can be accomplished in an
'rderdly and systematic way.
The discussion was entirely infor-
nal. and was characterized chiefly by
' spirit of co-operation between the
BOARD and the industry that was asi
