Cruciblc

Action of Crucible Steel Yesterday
disappointed lot Of folks who fully
expected backed up their ex-
pectations with buying orders-that
the rise begun on Saturday and con-
tinued through Monday would carry
the price considerably higher. The
stock was a peculiar actor, with alter
mating periods of weakness and
strength during the session, finally
ending up in a slump to 225H at the
close, where il showed net loss of
la points. On one of its earlier spurts
it had sold up to 233 The fact that
for the first time in weeks and weeks
there was a plentiful supply of stock
available in the stock loan crowd puz-
zled the Street. Whereas Crucible has
been loaning flat for a long time, q
rate of per cent was charged last
night. Some of the wise ones pro-
fessed to see in this sudden change an
attempt by the bulls to lead the bears
into trap. Others drew the more
natural inference that the plentiful
supply of Cruciblc for loaning purposes
indicated that the short interest, sup
posed to have been of large proper
tons, had been pretty we'll cleaned up

In Wall Street
A Splendid Report

For once Wall Street in its prelimi-
nary dope sheets on Steel earnings
erred on the side of conservatism. This
was probably because it has been see
ing things. through blue spectacles.
Net earnings of s35.791 1902 for the De-
cember quarter were actually $4,000
600 above the most liberal estimates
and S10,000,O00 above the guess of the
extreme conservatives. The Streets
estimate Of S10,000,00O as the loss sus-
astray, it appears, since the December
quarter earnings were only about 3d.
100000 less than those reported in the
September quarter. Steel common
moved sluggishly yesterday, closing
unchanged at 1865. After the mar
ket's close calls on Steel could be had
in New Street 8 points away from the
market good for thirty days.

established his own precedent, in good
American fashion, by skiing on the
hottest summer day. OF odds and

DESIGNATING THE BAD NEWS

In thousands of American house
holds, the first of the month is period
of dread and anxiety. The hears of
those households know that the bills
received then will bring bad news, but
they are ignorant of how bad the news
will be. They do not know until they
see the bills how much they have
spent or what they spent it for. By
the time they find out, the opportunity
to save something from their income
has passed.
Over four million women through
out the United States will devote
themselves during the first months of
1920 to turning the bad news of the
first of the month into good news, in
cooperating with the Savings Division
of the Treasury Department. First
! they are going to take the dread out
of the first Of the month by finding
out in January exactly what bad news
the January bills will bring on the
first of February.
This will be accomplished by keep
| ing a strict account of every personal
and household expenditure. If excess
sive amounts are paid out for certain
items of living expense, they are GO
ing to know it and will be able to
make such readjustments as will make
the household and personal budget
well balanced whole.
Having found out the worst of the
band news by these Investigations in
January, the women are pledged to
turn it into good news in February
| by eliminating the waste and unneces-
sary extravagances which January has
disclosed. This effort on the part of
the American women is not an effort
to lower the standard of living of any
American family.
Its purpose is to maintain and bet
ter the standard of living and do it
within the limits of the individual or
household ncome, despite the increased
cost of living and the economic prob
lens supernduced by the great war.
The women of the nation as repre-
scented by the great women's organi-
cations have recognized that it is not
enough to make both ends of the in
come meet. They must overlap suffi-
GENTLY to provide a margin of saving
to provide for the future and any con-
tingencies which the future may bring
forth.
1t is for this reason that dozen of
the great women's organizations,
leaders of thought and action in the
nation, have pledged cooperation with
the Savings Division of the Treasury
Department not only to help make the
ends meet but to make them lap over
in margin of safety taken up by
government savings securities.
Therefore, having discounted the
bad news of January by the readjust-
ments of February, the women of the
nation will devote March to confirming
that good news by translating the sur
plus income gained into government
securities such as War Savings
Stamps, Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates and Liberty Bonds. They will
show that these securities are both
safe and profitable, that they are
proof against loss and hold the sur
plus ready for any emergency of the
future.

COUNTY SURVEY INTERCHURCH

In November, 1918, just at the close
of the World War, meeting was call
ed in New York City, that will have
widespread effect on the religious

ed by the war.
When the report of the Committee
was adopted, the Interchurch World
Movement was launched and its prin-
ciples have been adopted by most of
the churches of America. Large
4 plans have been formulated and a
force Of workers has been secured for
carrying out this most stupendous
task ever undertaken by Christian
churches. This is not a church union
movement, but joint undertaking of
the various churches, simultaneously
putting on campaigns for the evange-
lization of America and the World.
As first step toward carrying out
the program of this great movement.
survey is being made of the church
and religious conditions in each of the
three thousand counties in the United
States. We have many excellent
churches in this county, but just what
is their strength and under just what
conditions they carry on their work,
no one person really knows. Rev. R.
S. Boyd of the Presbyterian Church of
Pennington has been appointed Coun-
ty Survey Chairman for st. Fran
co.'s County, and has strong commit
tee working on the survey in the diff
ferent churches. When completed
this report will be most Illuminating in
regard to religious conditions in our
County. The tabulated reports of the
state and nation will be most educa-
tive in showing the great need there
exists for concrete application Of the
principles of the Christian religion.

until the first of July and given until

that the boys must furnish proof Of
having earned the money themselves.
Each boy is liable for one-eighth of the
