est difficulty the government faces IS not a shortage of steel, in general but in ability of mills owing to linn ited equipment, to turn out the cari- cities Of the fproduct in sufficient quantity This condition is being met as rapidly as possible, he assert ed, by turning out the required ma chinery.
 Development of the shipbuiiding in dustry far beyond the most sanguine estimates of year ago, MT. Reploglc continued, has created demand for plate steel, which has exceeded the capacity of all the plants equipped for this type of work. Steel for mu- nitions and for other war supplies also has been required by the gov ernment in greater quantities than the manufacturers have been able to meet.
 Schwab Enthusiastic.
 MT. Schwab was enthusiastic over the future of American shipbuilding when he came out of the conference with the steel men. He said there was "no reason for unusual alarm, v in regard to the supply of manufac- tured materials for steel ships.
 "Steel in large quantities is avail able,' said MT. Schwab. The only question is it's distribution and that will be taken care of by MT. Replogle and his conferees." MT. Schwab said he wished to dispel belief in some quarters that the emergency fleet corporation had not been given ade- quate cooperation by the war indus tries board.
 .The war industries board has been a most potent factotr in carrying out the ship building program" he said. Bernard Baruch and MT. Replogle have given us all possible aid. What we are striving for now is to fill up some of the gaps created by the extraordinary demand for steel. We have determined what is needed, and are acquainting the steel men With our requirements"

SEEKS FUNDS FOR.
 INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
Editor of the Graphic

Editor of the Graphic
 Dear Sir:-
 Through you I wish to call atten- tion of the good people of Pine Bluff to the boys at the State Industrial school, which is located about five miles West of the City of Pine Bluff.
 With MT. Morgan, l visited the school yesterday. There are now about 21 boys there. ranging in age from 3 to 19 years. They are all charges of the state, being sent to this institu tion on account of some misdimeanor. They are all good, healty looking boys, apparently we'll fed, cloathed and housed and carefully looked after by Superintendent Ward and his assistants.
 Both Mrs. Morgan and l were inn pressed with the boys and it would be time we'll spent by anyone who will visit this institution and spend an hour with these boys. You can do much to help them make good and have them feel that they are not criminals, shut out from civilization. The school is situated back in the woods, away from Main highways and they never see anyone except those connected with the school and those visiting it. Sunday is very bad day for them as after services in the morning they have nothing to do all day but pitch horseshoes and sit around and l am sure they tire of that.
 They have no games, books, maga- zines, musical instruments or other forms of divirsion, other than pitch ing horse shoes. We took them some magazines and it was pleasure to see them looking over them. In addition to games, booksets which know the good people of Pine Bluff will gladly furnish to these boys 1 am anxious to get them a graphaphone and some records. This can be enjoyed by all of them at the same time, and will be appreciated by them more than any other thing.
 zI therefore wish to ask your cooper ation in raising by voluntary contri- button fund to buy these boys an instrument and records and will head the list with of contribution of five dollars. 1 am sure that when the people of Pine Bluff know of the con- dition of these boys they will gladly COHtTlUuCe to CnlS IunQ so as to make their life more livable.
 After making your contribution don't stop them but 50 and see these boys and let them know that you are interested in seeing them develop into honest and honorable men. The preachers of the city should make ar- engagements for someone to preach to them every Sunday. as it is only by such help that the men in, charge can make the most out of these boys.
 Thanking you in the name of the boys. for your help, l remain
 Your very, truly.

 CHEMICAL PLANT
Valuable Industry at Gar field, N. J., to Be Op-
 erated by U. $.

Washington, July 29-Seizure of the Heyden Chemical Works at Gar field, N. J., second largest corporation of it's kind in the United States, with exclusive right ao use many valuable German patents, processes and for mulas for the making of salol, sodium salicylate, saccharine and other by products of carbolic acid, was anncun- ced today by Alien Property Custod- ian Palmer. The plant will be operat- ed for the government, Mir. Palmer said, and the patents and formulas Americanized.
 The Heyden works, which did a business of $4,000,00 last year, were taken over, the custodian said, after an investigation by Francis P. Gar van, director of the bureau of investi- gation in the alien property custod- ians office, revealed that it was own ed by the Chemische Fabrik von Hey den of Radebeul, Germany, the larg- est chemical company in the world, and that an effort to concael the real ownership had been made in 1916 by George Simon, of Brooklyn, N. Y., representative of the German com pany, aided by T. Elicit Hodgskin, an attorney of New York City.
 ADD PALMER SEIZES ..,. -.... ....
 Simon, who is a German subject, organized the Helyden concern in 1900 with capitalization of $1O,0OO, which later was increased to $150,000. Of the 750 shares of stock, MT. Palm CT said, the German company received 745 in consideration for the secret formulas and patents.
 In 1916, when the relations between the Uin dettSates and Germany be came strained, Simon, with the aid of Hodgskin, sought to American ize the Hayden works, the custodian said, by an alleged purchase for $149,- % of the 745 shares of stock held by the German company which in 1916. netted that company $1,026,626. The money to finance the alleged sale, is was said, was secured from Simon's lyn, to, whom Hodgskin gave cer- tificate for the 145 shares of stock.
 ITO protect the German ownership of the Heyden works" said MT. Palm CT, Simon got Hodgskin to write a letter to him wherein Hodgskin agreed to sell back the stock to the German interests at any time within IS months for the sum of $149,999 and interest"
