Pacis-As the women Of Paris re-
Gently have been beating the men in
competitions for places as librarians;
a discussion has arisen over women's
attitude towards books.
Writers in general seem TO agree
that woman Is the avowed Enemy Of
books. This view, which will seem
strange to Americans. is accepted by
the French as a fact not necessary
TO discuss. They seek only to show,
why, and how greatly woman is hos
tile to- books.
One of the principal publishers is
quoted as saying that in the retail
trade women constitute only one per
cent OF buyers in France. Others d.
late upon the difficulty their men
friends have in keeping a library of
fine books and in adding to the col
'nct'on. Me-'s. lnce OF books. and
won1en's dislike OF them, are cited. as
having caused the breakup of many

THE STEEL STOCKS
Babson Explains, Recent softness In Steel

ironed out and eliminated. there is a
strong possibility OF q. weakening in
|thet price structure. This does not
mean Immediately for the question of
delivery over the winter months is
very important. Steel billets today
rule SO per cent over the low point
of this year and G5 per cent over the
Ipre-war average. This level is high
enough for we are no on h eve. OF
in general.
I'VE should not forget that there
are several important phases to con-
slider on the bear side. The steel pro-
ducihg capacity of this country us it
stands today is much greater than
our ability to consume and export.
In 1913. the actual output. OF steel ag-
gregated $4,000 0 tons while pro-
ducing capacity was estimated at S.
900, 900 tons. In 1920 we produced
10000, 900 tons, last year 20,000,ooo
tons and this year probably 30,00o,0G0
tons. but the main point is, IL called
upon. we could produce steel at the
rate Of 55,000.O 900 tons annually. 1923
is bound to be 81 year OF keen coRape.t
tiAon. Fundamental conditions indi-
cate that we are not entering a pro-
longed period of over-eXpansion n
any stimulation in consumption will
prove gradual and of a limited char
acter. Producing costa, particularly
fuel. transportation and labor, are
high enough and the next major
move, in conjunction with the law Of
action and reaction should be down
ward. Certainly this Is not the time
to be bullish on steel. Protection
over the winter months is h prime
buying incentive.
ut is questionable whether the
steel industry IS fully readjusted. 1t
did not conform fully with the. con
traction Of the economic cycle in 1920
and 1921 and this is one OF the -rea-
sons why l am not partial to steel
etocks. The underlying structure OF
steel stocks is not over-strong altho
of course individual stocks may show
independent strength in sympathy
with the action of the stock market"

TEACHERS PLAY
/ In WORLD PEACE
Dean Maintains. Schools
Initiate Reforms In
Address.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. lily
the Associated Press.)-World peace
as a result of education OF the youth
Of the world. was the suggestion made
today by F. J.. Kelly. dea Of admins
speaking here before the Arkansas
State Teachers association now in
session.
THE teaching profession possesses
the instrument for making the next
generation believe practically as 1t
wishes it to believe In respect to world
problems" said Dean Kelly. This
was demonstrated by the German
school system from 1871 to 1914.
which developed a generation de-
termined to rule the world. The same
thing is true Of the work OF the W. c.
IT. L. in American schools. Long be-
fore the nation was ready to go on
record against intoxicating liquors as
a national policy, the public school
teachers, often under direction Of law.
almost unanimously were vigorous in
their teachings OF the evil effects Of
alcohol. ~
~ Make International Issue.
Just as it is impossible and5unwise
for a. particular nation to so far in
the movement for disarmament with
out a corresponding disarmament on
the part OF other nations. 30 It isl UNI
safe for q particular nation to so too
far in a spirit~of International mind,
edness without seeing to It that other
nations are moving as rapidly in the
same direction. Thus, II. educators.
are to undertake the task OF educat-
ing for world peace, It ought to be aft
er an agreement on the part OF educ
Gators everywhere tosmake the move
ment a truly International one.
TT it Is urged that the school sys-
tenn reflects the public sentiment OF q
natton,sand does not initiate reforms,

IL: ~. baDs"h' says. have recent
~ how signs of weakening, a gen
orally expected tendency. A. survey
shows that surface conditions indicate
strength, but the underlying situation
which is the most important. tells a
totally different story. You will re-
member that six months & the trend
OF production OF steel as we'll as other
commodities, was distinctly upward.
steel output has recovered from the
dom e 1891 slump when. only 90
100000 tons OF steel were produced,
which was SO per CEN under the pre-
vious years output. With the increas-
Ing supply. there was no scarcity. I'm
filled tonnage was increasing only
moderately and transportation condi-
tons were not considered critical,
Prices Of steel bi!lets ut that time
were ruling 20 per cent over tbs pre-
a averages.
suddenly the picture changed. TIL
pinch Of the diminishing coal suppl,
became more effective and the advent
, OF the rail strike brought additions
apprehension. The buyer began pur.
chasing ahead to protect deliveries
Orders were pyramlded-a fact tina,
Is reflected by untitled tonnage, which
jumped from s,776.O0o tons in Jul,
to 5,sbO.OO0 tons in August but ir
September jumped to 6.691. 900 tons
n wave Of heavy buying, due tc
artificial elements is now passing. Til.
outlook Is again changing. Tho Goa
and railroad strikes are events of tht
past and as, artificial tendencies ar,
