Is the Earth DRYING up7

Whether the globe on which we
dwell is gradually drying up or not is
a question that has been much debated.
Recent discoveries in central Asia have
been regarded by some as favOring
an affirmative answer, but others have
replied that the observed phenomena
are simply periodic changes. One au-
thOrity champions the affirmative view
on the ground that great number of
European lakes have certainly disap-
peared within the last $50 years.

GOOD ROADS REDUCE PRICES
Poor Transportation Facilities Help
Keep Up High Cost of LiV-

One of the solutions of the high
cost of living problem lies in good
roads. Poor transportation facilities
form strong factor in keeping prices
up, With a system of well paved ma
tiOnal highways transportation condi-
tons would be improved to such an
extent that the cost and time of bring
ing food and merchandise to the con-

TONNAGE UP AGAIN
u. s. Corporation Reports Gain
for First Time in Four
teen Months.

For the first time in fourteen months
the untitled tonnage Of the Unite1 States
Steel Corporation at the beginning OF
this month aggregated more than it did
at tho beginning OF September. The
increase on October was small. amount
ing to 2S.744 tons. compared with the
September figures. but The significant
fact in the report, according to the lights
of Wall Street as well as OF the steel
industry. was that the steady decline
had been interrupted. The tonnage Of
that character on October l was $780,
$40. in contrast to 4,531,s26 tons on
September J..
The untitled orders on the corpora
tion's books are still very small in COM
parison with those of month ago, and
this months report shows the smallest
tonnage of that kind, with the exception
of that Of last month. since May, 1919,
when its lowest mark in many years
was established at 4.2s2,310 tons. The
following table gives comparison OF
the monthly figures reported by the cor
poration since January. 1918:
The New York herald., 1921-10-11

The average operations OF the corpora
tons subsidiaries during the month are
figured at about 33 per cent. OF capacity
Consequently 1t is estimated that the big
concerns output during the month ag-
gregated 100000 tons Of finished steel.
Based on that estimate. 1t is figured that
its incoming orders during the month
amounted to somewhere around 475.0o0
tions. 1t Is considered probable. however.
that they were somewhat greater. as 1t is
believed that the corporation made some
shipments from its stock. thus delivering
more Of its products than were produced
during the thirty days.
An Increase in the production OF ingots
which amounted to 1.174,740 tons, was
shown during the month. In August It
was 1.13S,071 and In July Ss3.376. The
September total was at the annual rate
OF 1854. 900 tons for the country. which
Is approximately 80 per cent of capacity.

After agreeing that no reinforce ments should be sent to Upper Silesia, the supreme council, in session in Par is, undertook to settle the question of the boundary line between Germany and Poland in that region. Lloyd George advocated the so-called Sfor- ga line, which gave Poland the west ern part of the industrial district and Germany the rest Briand ob. jected to this plan, and a deadlock was imminent. The French premier admitted that Upper Silesia amount ed to nothing compared with the friendship between the British and French people, but evidently he was afraid of the influence of the French extremists. complete break was averted by a decision to refer the whole question of the partition to the League of Nations.
 Premier Briand first proposed that the United States be asked to arbi- trate the matter. but Lloyd George preferred that it be left to the leag, This disposition of tho question was made under the second clause of art cle Il of the Versailles treaty. to- gether with articles 12 and 13.

At this writing the public has been given no intimation of the nature of the Irish reply, but 1t Is feared another crisis is imminent. However. leading Irishmen thought de Valera's note was not of such a nature that negotiations would be broken off.
