rior may become diny, cement colors
can always be again applied.
Wonderful effects can be made in
pebble-dash, in elastic finishes and in
crushed granite and marble. Repairs
about the house whenever a porch has
given out or cornice has rotted, may
be made by covering the new work
with stucco and the effect is always
good.
Moreover it is not necessary to take
off the weather boarding of an old
house because the steel fabric can be
nailed on and plastered. saving a great
deal Of mess to say nothing of the
labor.
A good stucco house is practically
everlasting and there having been so
many beautiful homes constructed in
this manner. illustrated in the archi-
tectural magazines, there is no excuse
for having an ugly house. 1t costs
no more to build stucco artistically
than it does to use it in a careless,
unattractive way.
If you don't like your house it is
always possible to transform it With
stucco.

I. S. Steel Earnings
Lowest Since 1915
Future Outlook Better

New York. July 26.-The United
States Steel Corporation reported to-
day that its earnings for the quarter
ending June 80, were 81. 80. O16. the
smallest of any quarter since March
1919, Just prior to the war boom,
when they fell TO ST. 461 800.
Regular dividends of ] "a per
cent on the preferred shares and
! IA per cent. on the common were
declared, but in order 10 meet the
requirements OF the common divi-
dcnd. on which only - cents was
earned, Ii was necessary TO draw
from the corporations huge undi-
yided surplus.
Analysis Of the Corporation's
monthly business showed earnings Of
Il little more than eight million dol
lars in April. about eight million
four hundred thousand in May and
a drop to slightly less than seven
million five hundred thousand in
June.
Net income of the corporation for
! the second quarter amounted 10 S13 =
! 22GJA against $20.6J6353 in the
preceding period This. item would
! have shown more drastic reduction
! but for the fact that charges and
allowances for depreciation were
much smaller than in the first quar-
ter of the wear.
Chairman Ebert n. Gary issued a
statement after the meeting Of the
directors in which he stated that
the business results for the quarter
we're not surprising to anyone ia

added that many manufacturing
concerns have been operating at a

censu"ahle than insisting upon "un-
considerable prohts" and cannot be

the future he said:

A FTER good many years of all

been learned that stucco will stick

There is no other method which is
dependable. Wood will swell and
shrink and moreover will crack along
the corners where the work has not

There may be some objections to the
appearance of stucco made from GER
tain kinds of dull colored cement, but
nowadays the coloring of plaster and
cement both in the mixture and in
coatlngs, will give any desired tint, and
moreover the life of the cement is pro-
longed by the use of these coatings as
they are waterproof. shedding rain on
