PITTSBURGH, June 6.-Steel pro-
duction in this district is on as large
a scale as the supply of fuel will
permit and new business is exceed
ing the output Of the plants. Mills
and furnaces are running between Is
and 100 per cent of capacity. Third
quarter prices have not yet been an
nounced, but some business has been
booked for delivery during that period
of the year at prices to be named
later. In a few instances premiums
are being offered for delivery during
the third quarter and there Is gen.
eral expectation of higher prices for
steel and steel products.
People here are spending money on
an enlarged scale. but with moro dis
cretion than during the big money
period of war times. Homes and
business structures are going up at
a rate which is creating labor
shortage in the building crafts. In
May 676 building permits. involving
$3,637,013 We're issued in the city
proper These figures compare with
513 permits requiring 1851 .263 IN
May, 1921. OF the May building busi-
ness, Sl,435.543 will be expended In
the erection Of single residences.

the outlook for all the lines of retail

'F|RMER,
ACTION ELSEWHERE

By Special Leased Wire to The Star
NEW YORK June 6.-Three Incl
dents stood out in the bond trading
today. They were a new high price
for the tax-exempt liberty 3las, six
point advance in Marland Oil IS with
warrants, and heavy transactions in
the Consolidated Gas convertible per
cent bonds, which carried them across
l2O for the first time this year.
The rise in United States 3l2s was
accompanied by strength throughout
the liberty list.
Some Features.
It was pointed out that in addition
to an 8 per cent coupon the Mar
land Oil bonds carry subscription
rights for the company'S stock as
well as rights to participate in divi-
dends up to 81 share.
The advance in Consolidated Gas
conyertibles. coincldent with that IN
the stock, followed reports that the
company's new. financial plan involved
the retiring of the present share
capital and the issuing of new stock
of double the amount, of no par value.
The thought was that the new shares
would carry IS dividends, which, if
true, would make the oil shares into
which the bonds are convertible a
$40 security.
Foreign Issues.
The feature of the foreign govern
ment external group was the rise in
United Kingdom 51ss of 1922 to a
new top, following similar per-
formance of Monday Of their COM
panion issue, the 51ss Of 1929. Mex
ican government bonds were again
reactionary. Italian 6zs and Cuba
ANS were among the strong Bem-
bers of this section.
In the industrial division, aside
from the conspicuous advance in
Consolidated Is and Marland Oil IS,
strength was shown in number of
favorites, such as Standard Oil OF
California debenture rs and various
public utilities at Mondays final
level, failing to soften in sympathy
with the Lackawanna Steel stock.
Railway mortgages and specula-
tive issues were generally steady.
New York Westchester and Boston
ANS gained over a point, Erie AS
were up nearly as much and the
Missouri Pacific general 4s were in
demand.
Peoria and Eastern Incomes and
New Haven IS were down fraction
ally.

1t is a common occurrence for DR..
Cadman, it is stated, to refuse from

His friends declare the amount Of

breaking down recently, DR.. Cadman
replied, II am too busy being thank
full for plenty of work to do and the

century received from the remarkable
era that just preceded it. AS the nine

full century, because of its conuest
over material forces, it's successor will
be marked throughout the ages as
most astounding, because. of it's con-
quest over spiritual powers and the
mind of man. The task is so stupend-
ous,,is it to be wondered at that we
have sometimes faltered or erred or
that succeeding in part at least, we
have become too sanguine and over
estimated our achievements. Yet we
should not on that account altogether
stop or tarry over long in our pur-
suit of the control of intelligence.
"But, what, it may be asked, do we
imply by intelligence and why is it of
such Importance to test it? The word
is like many in common use, one
about which we are generally more
glib than definite. Probably our
greatest error rests in the conception
Of intelligence as single or unitary
process and our failure to realize
that it is a complex into which many
varying factors enter.

aspect and comparatively high in

Gators generally seem to be undergo
ing reaction from the first glow of
enthusiasm, and there has arisen a
pereceptible fear lest we ruin the
prospects Of great service from psy-
Geological tests and the measure of
intelligence by overriding them. And
this reaction is not unjustified. But
we should not, therefore, rush to the
other extreme and conclude that the
whole undertaking has been farce.

Commissioner Of Education Of New

In the first of series of lectures
arranged for the benefit of the Sum-
mer School students by the Service
Citizens of Delaware, DR.. Frank P.
Graves, Commissioner of Education
of New York, was the lecturer. The
lecture was held in Wolf Hall last
Thursday night and was attended by
several hundred students and faculty
members of the University or Della
ware Summer School.
Prof. w. A. Wilkinson, director of
the school, presided and introduced
the speaker.
DR.. Graves subject was "The Use
and Abuse of the Intelligence Test"
and he said in part:
"One of the most obvious educa-
tional over-tones which could be dis
tinguished even by an unframed ear
at the recent meeting of the Depart
ment of Superintendent at Chicago,
was that of warning sounded by DR..
Bagley against too complete accept
