SEE SHUTDOWNS
 FOR STEEL TRADE
Amounts in Hands of Manu- lecturers Have Saved
 Situation Thus Far

The Governments program for the conduct of the war, the building of ships, and the addition of large facil- ities to the railroads is calling for more and more steel as time passes, says the New York Times. The ex- istence of substantial amounts of steel in the hands of manufacturers has so far prevented rapid shutdowns of plants in non-essential lines, but the trade reports this week forecast some radical readjustments of the sort in the next few months.
 Tt Is now realized that the ship program is tD be increased next year, 5 The Iron Age says: Beyond any thing yet believed; that railroad pur- chases must far exceed those for 1918 after years of starvation buying, and that shell steel must be furnished at a 5000, ,000-ton rate. Moreover, the strain great crops have always put upon iron and steel capacity is als1 to be reckoned with.
 "In it's third warning to consumers of steel within three months the War Industries Board puts the needs of the second half of the year for war and essential industries at 20,000,000 tons ot | finished steel products, or 3,500,0 coo tons more than the expected output. A sharp challenge of the 10000, ,0O0- ton estimate came from automobile in- terests, accompanied by call for a definite assurance as to steel supply even on a reduced scale. No assur- ance has been given, nor can it be given, the most certain thing in the prospect being that the use of stee for war purposes will increase, while production is less likely to increase l In line with the sh1pyard schedule came news that the United States construct a giant drydock on proper. ty recently bought which lies adja cent to its yard in the Hackensaci meadows The cost is expected to bt in the neighborhood of S10,000, 900.

EMPIRE

To be able to make a distinct art of "vamping" and subserve a patriotic purpose thereby, is an honor reserv- ed for new screen artists. In her latest Paramount photoplay, "The vamp," written by c. Gardner Sulli- van and produced by Jerome Storm under the direction of Thomas H. Ince, which is to be displayed at the Empire theatre today and tomorrow. Miss Bennett voluntarily becomes a siren and by "vamping'' the paid agent of a German spy prevents disastrous strike of coal miners.
 Miss Bennett seldom has appeared in a more congenial role than that of Nancy Lyons, a wardrobe girl attach ed to a musical comedy show. She learns the vampirish ways of the chorus girls and when her sweetheart proves little slow in proposing mar riage, she helps matters along by do- ing a little "vamping" act of her owr with him, the result being that he is entranced and their marriage follows
 When she goes with her husband tc a coal mining town in Pennsylvania Nancy learns that German spies are operating there with the view of fo' menting a strike of the coal miners She mediately gets busy and in series of highly attractive scenes, sht "vamps" the paid agent of the Ger man spy chief with such success tha the plot is frustrated. Of course, he motives are misconstrued and he happiness is for time imperilled, bu it all ends well and Nancy becomes real heroine.
 Miss Bennett's role in this pictur is in every way delightful one and i doubtless will add greatly to her pop ularity. S!e is admirably supporte by the best players of the Ince studio

BRITISH AVIATORS TO MAKE
 AIR TOUR OF MIDDLE WEST

Brig. Gen. Charles F. Lee, com manding the British Aviation Mission to this country, assisted by Capts. J. J. Hammond, James Fitz Morris, W. A. Hannay, and G. D. Hunter, will make an airplane tour of the middle western states. They expect to start from Indianapolis on or about Aug. 14, and stop at 16 of the principals mid-western cities to give exhibitions and lectures. The total air distance to be flown ross-country is approxi= mateIy 2,500 miles
 The purpose of the tour is to dem | onstrate, in a practical manner, what fighting in the air is. These distin- guished officers of the Royal Air Force, all of whom have seen active service in the present war, will show that 'stunting" in the air can be ac- | complished with ease and safety, and
 will point out in their public talks the necessity for teaching advanced l flying to our young aviators who are
 now preparing for the front. The itinerary probably will include air flights by at least three machines | between Indianapolis, Cincinnati,
 Dayton, Columbus, Cleveland. Buffalo, | Detroit, Toledo. Chicago, Milwaukee, | Minneapolis, St. Paul, Des Moines, 1 Omaha, Kansas City and St. Louis, probably in the order mentioned. 1 Flights over these cities will also be
 made, the f1iers going through aerial | battle tactics and all the air antics | known today. The entire tour will
 extend through August, ending early 1 in September.
 The airplanes used will be a Bristol
 fighter and a De Haviland fighting
 machine, both two-seated planes, and
 two British Avro two-seated training | planes It is hoped that some of the 1 single-seated Sopwith Camels, and
 S. E. 5's will be available, but it is possible that they may not arrive in time.
 | The Committee on Public Informa- | ton has arranged for these talks and l flights and secured the cooperation | of the civil authorities. Capt G. D. | Hunter, R. A. F., left Washington
 recently for Indianapolis, where he
 will start on a trip around the pro- | posed circuit, making arrangements l and selecting landing sites. As soon
 as definite arrangements have been
 made a detaile schedule will be an
 nounced.

ADVANCE IN PRICE
 OF GASOLINE OF ONE HALF CENT IS AUTHORIZED

The Fuel Administration issues the following:
 The National Petroleum War Ser vice Committee has been advised by the United States Fuel Administra- Son that it will not object to an ad- vance of one-half cent a gallon in the wholesale tank wagon market price of gasoline, naphtha, and refined oil throughout the entire United States, effective Monday morning, July p, 1918. The reason for this advance is the recent increase in railroad rates throughout the United States.
 In no instance shall the increase in the wholesale prices of these products be permitted to cause an advance in the price to the consumer of more than one-half cent per gallon, and it is believed that in many cases the present retail margin of profit is am- pie to permit of the absorption by the retailers of this increase in cost . of one-half cent per gallon without any advance in price to the consumer
