MOTHERS PENSIONS REDUCING
JUVENILE CRIME AND EXPENSE.

Judge Franklin Chase Hoyt, Presid-
ing Justice of the New York City Chill
dren's Court, the largest children's
court in the world, said to Judge Neil,
father of Mothers Pensions, on the
eve of Mothers Day:
"There has been a tremendous fall
ing off in the commitments made by
the New York Juvenile Court since
1911, when over 5000 children were
SEM to institutions. In 1920 the num-
Der was but 1900, a reduction of about
1919. The saving to the taxpayers as
a result amounts to hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars a ear
"In 1911 we had no Mothers Pen
sions nor any probation officers at
tached to the Court.
II have no doubt that the Mothers
Pension system has more than paid
for itself by saving the community the
cost of a large number of commit
ments in cases of delinquency, neglect
and dependency.
"Of the 10000 or more children
coming into the Children's Court OF
New York every year, probably 75%
are brought in because of improper
SURROUNDINGS or environment"
Judges of the Children's Courts
nearly everywhere are in favor of ad
equate Mothers Pensions because they
see the tremendous reduction in juven
lie crime and the CONSEQUENT RE
DUCTION TO THE TAXPAYER o.
the expense of reformatories and de
pendent institutions.
Judge Victor p. Arnold of the Chill
dren's Court of Chicago say that Mo
TIERS Pensions is a great reducer O
crime among future citizens, and fol-
this reason he is in favor of more ade
quate pensions.

Pensions to the extent of over/

Iron and Steel Trade.

Development of new business in
the iron and steel industry is dis
appointingly slow. and an early
breaking of the present lull is ap-
parently not in prospect While
sentiment is somewhat stronger,
such orders as come forward are
unevenly distributed. the principal
producer faring better than most
Independent interests. On the aver
age. the rate of steel output is
hardly up to 35 per cent of ca
pacity. and there are indications of
pending slackening of demand
from automobile makers. With the
general situation largely one of
waiting, the recently reduced prices
are not being fully tested and few
changes are discovered in this
weeks list of published quotations.
Meantime, further wage ADJUST
ments have become effective, and
these revisions, the Iron Age states.
are not without influence upon the

GREAT BRITAIN REGAINING
HER AUSTRALIAN TRADE
United States Is Losing the Increased Trade
Gained During the War.
tBy the w..hlnston HeraId,. Ecenoni.,a

During the war Great Britain was
compelled to lose a large portion
Of her foreign trade in all parts Of
the world. This occurred not only
in her trade with foreign countries,
but also with her overseas posses
sion and particularly those at "A
great distance from the mother
country. A large portion of this
lost trade fell to the United States
as the only other country outside
the war zone whose resources were
sufficient to meet the demand. This
sort of expansion was a big factor
in increasing our export trade from
$2,365, 200. 900 in 1914 to $7,232. .Oo0, 900
in 1919 and over $4,000. 100000 In
1920.
The great distance of Australia
from other important parts OF the
world resulted in a smaller total
foreign commerce. This W-shown
best by the decrease in the total
amount of tonnage entering Aus
tralian ports. In 1914 the total
tonnage entered was 5.275,662 tons
but by 1917-lS this had dropped 10
2,456.757 tons or almost half. For
the first three months Of the current
fiscal year the tonnage entering
Australian ports was at the rate OF
about 100000 tons or approaching
the prewar figure.
Normally Australian imports and
exports approximately offset each
other. For few years prior to the
war imports exceeded exports. while
before :hat the reverse mad peen
true for many years. The reduction
In imports during the war led to
a marked favorable balance even

Ever since the presept depression
was well started there has been a
good deal of discussion about get
ting back to normal" but there
seems to be considerable differ
ence of opinion as to what will con-
stitute a normal scale for produce
tion and trade. tbat Is. a normal
degree of prosperity after this de-
preston has been passed.
Prewar conditions. as of 1913,
for example. are taken by many as
the basis on which the processes of
defiation and readjustment are tend
ing to re-establish a normal level
of production and trade. Others re-
gard the year 1920 as more nearly
approaching the level which may be
called normal for 1922. To most in
dustries it will make considerable
difference whether the expected re-
covery carries production from its
present low level back to the level
of 1918 or to the substantially
higher level of 1920.
what Is Normal Output
In the case of the iron and steel
industry, for example, progress over
long period of years. including
periods of prosperity as well as
periods of depression. is the best
basis for judging what may be re-
garder as normal for output in 1922.
For this purpose variation in the
annual output of pig iron is taken
as a fair index of the general pros
try as a whole.
The accompanying graph shows
in the upper solid line the actual
annual production of pig iron from
1901 to 1920. Below this is plotted
the ten-year moving average of
pig iron production, the figure plot
ted for 1901, for example. being the
average annual production for the
ten years. 1S92-1901, the figure for
1902 being the average for the ten
years, 1S93-1902. and so on. To this
curve of ten-yPar moving averages
is fitted a straight line which is
propected beyond 1920 to show the
approximate trend and level of the
moving averages for the next few
years.
Progressive Rate of Production.
An examination of these lines re-
veals several significant facts. 1t
is only in years of acute depression,
like 1907, 1914, and 1921. that the
curve of annual production OF pig
iron has fallen below the curve for
ten-year moving averages. In other
words. in any year of normal ac-
tivity the scale of production is
substantially above the average an
nual production for the preceding
ten years During the Prewar per-
iod the years when output was not
reduced by business depression were
marked by production considerably
