Bead Superstition

Alum beads esteemed to be an effi- cacious charm against the evil eye, were largely worn by children, and in town of Suffold, England, there is said to have dwelt a witch who pos sessed a pair of ebony beads, stated to have been sanctioned at Rome. To her fhere repaired many a mother when her child was sick, in the hope that through the prayers of tH~ ebony beads would be conjured away the evil spirit.

GARY EXPLAINS WHY PRICES HELD DOWN
Feels Moral Obligation to Check Carnival of Greed,
 Stockholders Told
sy A,socIstsd Pras,

New York. April 19.-Elbert H. Gary. chairman of the United States Steel cor poration, informed the stockholders at the annual meeting in Hoboken today, that the corporation was holding down the prices of it's products because of the high cost of living.
 Referring to inquiries made as to why in view of the great demand, the cost of production and prices received by other manufacturers, the prices of the corporations products had not been Fraised above these fixed by agreemens between the industrial board and steel manufacturers on March 21, 1919, he said:
 It seems to us the problem of high cost of living is of convincing importance. When the increasing tendency IS to fn- SiSist upon payment of unreasonable sums for every commodity and for every service, so that the vicious whirl of ad- vancement seems to be intending, we think there is moral obligation on the part of everyone to use all reasonable efforts to check this carnival of greed and imposition, even at some sacrifice.
 The attitude of the corporation on prices, MT. Gary added, has had con- siderable influence in preventing in- creaSes in the general selling prices or steel, although some manufacturers have made them due as they claim, to ll- creased cost of manufacture.
 Moreover it is believed that in view of all the conditions prevailing, the sell ing prices of most of the diversified pr oducts of the corporation for the pres ent at least,N are high enough, though it is pertinent to say that when the ac- tual value of the properties and volume of business of the corporation are cou- sidered, the net return is at least mad crate"
 Mr Gary said much thought had been given to the question of shorter hours for the corporations employees, but that workmen were not satisfied with short days if larger pay could be obtained by working longer days
 Reviewing last years steel strike, Mr. Gary announced that the corporation would continue to maintain the open shop.
