IRON AND
Steel. NEED
PRESSING
Producers in Calumet Region
Are Operating Again At
Near Capacity

Need for Increased production OF
Iron and Steel Is becoming more
pressing as orders still are accumu-
lating on makers books Moreover
in some directions it IS apparent
the lengthening period Of shipments
Is tending to hold back the placing
OF new business. Operations prac-
tically are held in check at 10 to 10
per cent on the average. There Is
good ground for the belief that the
situation soon will exert a strong
effect IN stimulating greater efforts
toward a settlement OF the present
coal strike. says the Iron Age.
LARGE AWARDS TO STANDARD
Inquiries for more than 5000
freight cars have been brought out
recently. although detailed specih-
cations in at least two or three in
stances are still to be Issued. Or
ders are also coming out on better
scale and include 1000 box car bod
les awarded to the Standard Steel
Car Company from the Baltimore &
Ohio and 1000 repair cars from the
Erie to the Hammond plant of the
Standard Steel.

WHAT promises to be one of the
biggest electrical vacuum cleaner
demonstrations ever given in Ham
mond is promised by the Northern
Indiana Gas and Electric Company,
in their windows and show room this
evening. Not satisfied with wash
ing the ebony hued youngster in
the window bath tub or with wash
ing and ironing countless bills, the
Northern Indiana Co. makes this bid
for even further attention on the
part of the Saturday Nighter by
showing what can be done with an
Eureka Electric Vacuum cleaner.
They say it will draw most anything
with its wonderful suction power,
but as long as it does not draw the
proverbial needle from the haystack
and take away our pet proverb. we
Will be entirely satisfied with the
demonstration.

The wise housekeeper will make
cheerfulness the dominant note OF
the home. 1t will surprise those
who strive for artistry in home
decoration how cheaply it can be
achieved. inexpensive furniture,
rugs, draperies make the home
beautiful when they are stage-set
with an artistic eye and are the
details of complete and harmonl-
Gus whole. A fortune spent IN
luxurious appointments is money
wasted unless an atmosphere of
cheerful comfort and inviting
home-iness is created.
"Let your home reflect yourself. "

of individuality. An unattractive
home is a crime. A home full OF
beauty, comfort and cheerfulne'.
