COMMITTEE MEETS TO
FIX STEEL PRICES
Universal News ServiceJ


Washington, Sept 18-The gener-
al steel committee meets here today
with the price fixing committee rep
Tesenting the government in order to
present the case of the steel and pig
iron producers to the federal authori-
ties. The smaller producers are more
outspoken in calling for a separation
of their case from that of the integral
ed companies, yet they are not ready
to have the government take over all
output at differential prices. Neither
government nor steel trade wants to
open that door. From all indications
the ordinary consumers chance of
getting steel, Judged solely by the
developments Of the past fortnight
will grow steadily less in the final
quarter of the year, because the vast
scale OF plans for the offensive in
France calls for more steel weekly
There is a well defined expectation
IN some quarters that the government
in fixing schedules for the final three
months OF the year, may recognize
price inequalities in certain lines and
make allowances. Interest especially
has been turned upon pig iron, where
the widening gap in production costs
in various districts has become
more insistent factor

Field says laughter Is the sunshine OF
the soul: It will bring happiness into the
hearts Of the aged: it is the learen OF
youth and innocence. Laughter IS the
treasure OF the humble Of earth and the
wealth Of the poor. Laughter Is the
foe Of woe: 1t manElcs melancholy.
Lau Ehtcr IS the destroyer Of grief. 1t Is
tho silver on the simmer Of smiles, the
CLINT Of tho gold Of gladness.
without laughter. dimplcs would dis
appear, smiles would shrivel. faces
would wrinkle and the world become =
place of depression. Laughter Is the
swan song Of sadness.
For nearly a third Of a century this
man Al G.. Field has owned and managed
n successful minstrel show and that his
ambitions might have led him into other
walks OF life Is hut natural. yet fate
dccreed that rc follow the lines marked
out for him and probably It Is for tho
