has been a marked slowing up in the production of iron intended for iron smelters, but the Steel corporation and the other large steel interests are on an 80 to 90 per cent operating basis, hense the call for pig iron by them for conversion into steel shape.
 The stability of the district became assured when it entered the steel age. Before that we had our ups, but we also had our distressing downs when pig iron was our sole metallic produc- tion. Now we have two strings to the bow and the steel string is the more continuous and unvariable one.
 Steel spells the finished product in variety of shapes and it spells ex- ports to other countries. Our Fairfield mills are shipping 6,000 tons abroad every month.
 Thanks to our steel interests the district is faring very well indeed in period of transition to lower prices.

LUKE M,i.UKE SAYS

To hear man talking about sup porting his wife you wouldn't think that she had to work l6 hours day for her board.
 A woman looks as warm as a man on a cold day. But she feels whole
 lot colder
 A lot of men never had any appetite
 for liquor until the stuff went up to
 50 cents q drink.
 Wouldn't it be fine if boy could learn other things as easily as he can
 learn cuss words! A lot of the seif-made men keep their
 wives busy making alterations. At that. there wouldn't be much trou- ble in the world if every man follow ed
 his wife's advice
 It Is usually the woman who look. like a marshmallow who notices that other women use too much powder. As long aS girl knows she is well
 built little thing like pneumonia isn't
 going to make her keep her chest cov-
 cred.
 Mother may permit father to select a husband for her daughter. But sh<
 won't let him select wall paper for hsl house. Working all night won't hurt man
 half as much as playing all night. It wouldn't be so hard to please a woman if you could only make her de- eide what she wants.

STEVENSON ALIVE AGAIN

|, of life and death,' not a wordmonger.
 not rhetorician, not lover of language. but friend of all his kind. There were three things that Stevenson said he want ed-good health, small competence and friends And as our essayist observes, ! Heaven very liberally answered the last desire"
 Three facts Major Watt puts forward about your truly typical Scotsman, and 1 it would display temerity to contradict him. First, the Scotsman loves his coun. l try" Then. the Scotsman is essentially and basicaly a religious man." And in the third place, 'the Scotsman is Gods
 own wanderer'' The children of no other
 race have looked into more strange places, walked more strange streets,
 folks. or taught in more alien colleges"
 It might be noted in passing that in the | citadel of Presbyterianism, which is
 Philadelphia, the debt that is owing to
 Scottish preachers is too big to be con 1 fired within the bounds of that denomi-
 nation.
 Stevenson meets the tests that his pane
 gyrist names. That he loved his country
 1one could doubt who read the Vailima Letters. That he was religious, though
 not orthodox, his deeper moods and words sufficiently attest As for traveIing-his mind was restless even when the body, between it's paroxysms, was at peace. This
 teller of tales' was the pattern of the
 gentleman adventurer, the born explorer. | The study now before us has divined him | truly; here is the man, more real more true. more lovable, than any language

NEGROES RETURNING

From the Newark Post.
 Thousands of negroes. who flocked north by trainloads during the sum mer are returning south. Disappointed by failure to find the higher wages and better conditions about which employ ment agents glibly talked, their old employers say. they are eagerly seek : iEg to return to the work they left
 With business slackening in many northern industrial centers, the negroes found that they were usually the first to be laid off the job. Country negroes declare their higher pay was more than counterbalanced by increascd living costs in industrial cities. City negroes often found their wages in northern cities did not equal their play in south ern cities.
 Lack of adequate housing facilities, strange conditions. homesickness fail- ure to find the improved social treat ment for which some had hoped. more rigorous climates, race rioting. harder work-these are some of the things which are sending the negroes back south in a steady stream.
 Reportsreceive by local employment bureaus show that 250, 900 negroes went north during June, July and August this year. There was consid derable negro migration almost from start of the war

Great Improvement in
 Car Service Situation
Car Sc

MWE raised more or less of a
 w rumpus when the interstate commerce commission in the summer months restricted the use of open top cars to carrying coal from mines. The effects of that ruling have more than justified the order. The country has an ample supply of coal for the winter.
 From time to time the commission released certain kinds of gondolas for other than mine use, gradually free ing them from preferential regulations and allowing them to haul other prod ucts. It has finally disposed of the entire preferential list.
 The car service situation is better than it has been inseveral years. Prac- tically all congestion in manufactur- ing yards has been lifted and cars are being returned to their own lines. The coal fields have all that are required there. Many new cars are issuing

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. 1A NOWHERE outside the writings of lWl Robert Louis Stevenson is there to = be found more of the spirit of that
 writer than in the essay 'R. l.. Stev er.son's Contribution to Literature and
 Life" from the hand of Lauchlan Mac
 Lean Watt. which opens the current issue
 of Scribner's Magazine. Major Watt. who was chaplain of the black Watch and is pastor of Stevenson's family church in Edinburgh, made for himself thousands of friends in Philadelphia when, several years ago, he crowded church after church with his fiery war time addresses. The power of the man was that he spoke from the heart, and he writes as he spoke. It is the highest pr aise to say that his gift of language is equal to his text. He deals in a hu-
 man way with a great human being and he writes as only one Scot could write to
 another filling in with a master hand the
 background of physical landscape and of spiritual environment that must forever live in the memory of Scot who has
 left his land and whose fond affection travels back to it. It is a sturdy, resolute
 and virile style-so different from the finicky and meticulous elegance so many l of our littcrateurs affect in discussing lit- , erature.

Comforting to Live
 in the Age of Steel

TT is encouraging to have the lead u ing steel interest of the district not only maintaining operations in this period of trade readjustments, but real ly increasing them. The blast furnace activity of this corporation is greater than the years average by one stack, which is more than satisfying to the district in the face of curtailment of operations in other quarters.
 We owe this furnace activity to the finishing steel mills of the company. The iron trade is dormant with prac- tically no buying going on and there

Is It Always Wise
 to Srurn Millions?

10 CPuth 4VAAAAOho
 @ HARLES GARLAND, who might W have lived life of obscurity from the cradle to the grave, won na- tional notoriety by refusing to accept a fortune of s1,oo0,oOo left him by his father. The money is not tainted, so far as he knows. His refusal was dictated by other reasons which the common, or garden, variety of minc may find it difficult to understand. MT. Garland made a formal state. ment to the press, at Buzzard's Bay Mass, in which he endeavored to ex. plain his position. He said he declined to accept the money because he thought Christ would do likewise. But here are some other views he ex. pressed:
 I refuse to accept the money be- cause it is not mine. A system which starves thousands while hundreds are stuffed condemns it. self. A system which leaves a sick woman helpless and offers its ser vices to a healthy man condemns itself. It Is such system that of fers me $1.oOO.o0o.
 It Is blind to the simplest truth known to every child, the truth that the hungry should be fed and the naked clothed. I have had to choose between the loss of private property and the law which is written in every human heart. I chose the one which believe to be true.
 I could do no good with the money. It is the man who gives food to the hungry who does good, not the dollars given in exchange for the food. I would be happy to be the man if had the food to give, but I cannot lend myself to ham ding the money that is not mine even though the good that might be done is possibly great.
 You cannot serve God and Nam mon.' So many people ready to serve the dollar means so many less to serve God. There are great opportunities to do good, but they are in mems hearts, not in my check book. A preacher in the name of Christ said this $1,00o. 900 should have been turned to good. He thinks that Gods work is paid for in dollars. Gods work will never be done until men see theory is un. true.
 Young Mir. Garland does not make out very good case for himself. He is evidently suffering from "undi gested altruism." A book by H. c Wells is credited with having influ enced his decision. Wealth is a re- sponsibility an drightly used can b, made blessing to mankind. MT. Gar land dodges this responsibility for req sons which are, to put it mildly, no convincing. In view of the fact tha he has a wife and infant daughter has not yet started to earn Livelihood and is still the "guest" of his mother he would hardly appear to be a fiji judge of so important a matter a; the disposal of $1,oOO,O0O for good ol evil.
 A competent guardian, if he hat been provided for in the elder Gar lands will, might have solved the diff ficulty.
