HEAT SLOWS PRODUCTION

Tho reduction of FIVE dollars a ton on
steal bar shipments which has been
granted manufacturers of agricultural
machinery Is regarded by steel men as
s,gnAcant fact, and they are COM
,r.nt|rg on 1t with much speculation
n. regards its effect on the price to be
charged other manufacturers for the

agreed not 10 raise the price X the
government would secure for them a
rsAurtIon Of So in the price which they

rnspt Of tho Iron age follows in part:
eft remains to be seen how far COM

Will result from 2.65 cent bars for agri-

FRY heretofore has been able to secure
,he preference given TO implement
makers, and the odds are even greater
now. with the Government thrown into
the agricultural scale.
'Ii.gh heat and humidity cut down
mig iron and steel outputs last week,
estimates for the Plttsburg district rum
ming from 10 TO Is per cent. while
losses at some eastern Pennsylvania
plants we're considerably higher
"A factor to be counted on as tho
American Army in France grows Is the
spirit OF the steel workers, particularly
in mills supplying the chief essentials,
as plates. shell steel, and, latterly, rails.
There arc some signs Of the same effort

The estimated July production OF
steel lngots based on the compilations OF
the American Iron and Steel Institute. Is
3,bS1,eO0 gross tons. The daily rate fell
of about 20 per cent. from that of June.
and, while the estimated annual produc-

a meeting of the special committee
OF steel manufacturers With the director
OF steel supply will be held at Washing
ten next week. The decisions TO be
made, having TO do with the recent more
pressing demands from abroad. are re-
glrdea as among the most important in
the present effort of the War Industries
Board to meet the situation.
TIE action of the War Industries
Board In denying steel for passenger
automobiles is in line with what has
been plainly indicated for months as to
the narrowing of the channels OF steel
uses. Some mills, as in sheet and wire
Ines. are tending to a steady 60 per
cent operation.
IN an attempt TO increase pig iron
md steel output. the new by-product
ok'nS capacity is strongly counted on.
ON the proposal for Government aided

main tangible development is in con-
lection with new steel capacity In the

!: CONSERVATION NOTES

Visitors at the county fair had
their attention called to the conser-
walton Of food, clothing and fuel
through the booth established for
that purpose. The fine display of
canned vegetables grown in war
gardens attracted a great deal of
attention. Many prizes were
awarded by the County Fair asso-
citation. The prize offered by the
National War Garden commission
was awarded to Mrs. Dykstra, 803
North Forty-third street. Her col
lection of l2-quart jars of vegetables
was the best in size, quality and va
riety. The prize consists of a ma
tional capitol prize certificate and
book half filled with thrift stamps.
Other collections that received
honorable mention by the judges
were exhibited by Mrs. George De-
vereaux, 4509 Camden avenue; Miss
Loa Howard, 3107 Nicholas; Mrs.
Fred Elliott, 5l07 Webster street;
Mrs, S. J. Holmes, 45O4 South
Twenty-second street, and John and
Thomas Rim, 34l4 Cass street.
The home made soap and "Max's
Mix" exhibited by County Agri-
cultural Agent Maxwell, proved of
general interest. "Max's Mix"
made of one part peanut butter and
one part sorghum, is rich in protein,
fat, carbohydrate and mineral mat
ter and is to be used as a spread for
sandwiches. No butter is needed
when this is used. Mr.. Maxwell
had on display interesting posters
showing how the honey industry
and sorghum making are aiding the
conservation Of sugar.

man abroad, who will mail them to
relatives and friends.
No parcel will be accepted for
mailing by the postoffice without
label received from abroad.
Containers of specified dimensions

Omaha War Worker i'm
Capital is SENT West
ON Mission

Miss Leah Keith, formerly with
The Bee, now one of the govern
ment's specially recruited clerical
I assistants in Washington, is visit
ing her mother, Mrs. Anna Keith,
in Omaha. Miss Keith was sent
as special stenographer to Cedar
Rapids, to take the proceedings of
meeting OF federal employees held
in connection with the national
swine show there, and was given
leave to spend ten days in Omaha
Immediately following.
Miss Keith went to Washington
early last July, where she is en-
ployed in the bureau of animal in
dustry, in the department of pork
production. The chief of the de-
partment is Z. Z. Russell, formerly
of the Twentieth Century Farmer.
Miss Keith makes her home with
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell, as does Mrs.
Mary Hulst, another former Bee
employe, and two other Nebraska
girls. All are employed, even Mrs.
Russell having gone to work in the
personnel department of the Red
Cross.
Everyone has to take roomers in
Washington" said Miss Keith.
They are going around to the
houses and listing the vacant rooms,
insisting that they be filled. No
Stacker rooms are permitted in the
capital. We understand that bar
racks accommodating $4,000 women
are to be built at once. These bar
racks will consist of little apart
ments of two rooms each, with a
kitchenette in connection, so the
girls can cook their own meals and
prepare lunches to take with them.
This will be a splendid thing, as
girls are pouring in and the city is
getting more and more crowded
constantly"
The street car accommodations
are another thing that is now in
adequate, according to Miss Keith.
Nearly everyone goes to work at 9
and goes home at 4:30 with half
hour for lunch. This makes the
ears so crowded morning and eve
