 Wellesley Hills. Mass Oct, fs.-
 s'Fhs steel industry gives us beth 2
 barometer and thermometer Of
 business" according to Roger W
 Bsbson, whose associates have just completed a survey of this great inE dustry.
 ''stesl prices" says Mir Babson in a statement issued today, 'tend to failew genera lbusinssswta act as a fhermameteF in measuring, roughly, prosperity or depression. During the early months of this year bssiness was active and the price Of steel hll- lets advanced so per cent from Jannr ary to April, II was evident by them that the improvement had been over aone and business teak to caution and eonseryatism-a condition stili prevalent.
 Iron and steel prices very nata. rally followed, For the past six months production has dropped and priees have heen steadily declining. Despite the readjnstment 10 date, l alo not feel that steel prices or pros dnetien have reached the low point. II should he horne in mind that dur ing the war period onr producing capacity was greatly stimulated, The actual output of steel in 1918 was about si.ooo,ooo tons with pros dueins capacity of probably ss.ooo.- 100. So far this year the steel in- dustry has operated on a basis of more than 40.000. ooh tons annually a rate materially over the actual out- put of recent years. As a matter Of fact the abnormal stimulation in steel output started in August. 1921. In 1899 total output jumped 7b per cent over the previous year. while pro duction during the first nine months of this year stands over GO per cent above the same period of last year. However. the main point is. If this country were called upon. we could produce steel at between 56.o0o.ooo and 5s.ooo.o00 tons annually. Even today at the current rate of 4o.0o0.- | 900 tons. we are producing more steel than we can consume and ex- 1 port. Nor should we lose sight of the fact that our European neigh | DOTS expanded their steel producing | capacity to cope with abnormal war needs.
 "The underlying situation is well defined by unified tonnage-the barometer-which from the low in February. 1922. of 4.1l1,0o0 tons climbed with little Interruption to 7.4o3.0o0 tons in March of this year. Today. six months alter. unified ton mage has dropped to approximately 5,000.000. General business as re- fected in the Babsonchart has dropped to 10 per cent below normal. My main thought is that although no radical departure from the pres ent price level is indicated, a survey of actual conditions shows that the weight is certainly on the bear side, as it is in most lines today.
 "On the financial side we find fur ther evidence of this slowing up, in the amount of recent refnancing which has been undertaken by some of the newer companies" continued Mir. Babson. During periods of rec business, new finan- cling, it is true, may be required by the old conservative manufacturers

GERMAN BIRTH FIGURES
Medical Weekly Say. Firm Ratio Be- tween the Dollar and Birth Statistics


 Berlin. Oct. 2s.--Germany's birtl rate for the second quarter Of 1923 shows decided decline. according to official figures for 46 German cities In the corresponding quarter of 1922 there were 75.726 children born, as against 65,s24 this year. For the first quarter of 1923 the number of children born was 6s,630. The birth rate is now down almost to the low est level of the war period. Com menting on the figures the medical weekly says:
 "As there is firm ratio between the dollar rate and the birth statistics a further big decline is expected" On the other hand the mortality rate Is not so high for the second quarter of this year as it was in 1922. There were only 52,446 deaths in the second quarter of this year as contracted with 55,545 for the same period last year. " .sss

WOULD CARRY PLANES UPON ARMY AIRSHIPS.
General Patrick Determined Coast
 To-Coast Flight To Be Made

BELLEVILLE. III, July 21-(By Associated Press s.)-Experiments are being carried out by the army air service to produce a feasible means of carrying aeroplanes on airships, together with launching and landing devices, Maj. Gen. Mason NJ. Patrick, chief of the service. declared tonight at Scott Field, the chief army lighter than air station, where he is visiting oil tour of inspection.
 "Airships are useful in war for long distance reconnaissance work high altitude bombing. transportation of men and supplies, and probably, the most important of all, carrying other planes" the general said. "Experi- ments so far have demonstrated be- yond doubt that a plane can land on a ship when both are moving.
 The flying range of ships is greater than that of planes. It should be feasible to send ships anywhere in the country carrying planes sus- pended beneath, which could take off while in the air near an objective The experiments have been carried on partly by having planes land on wires, but I expect within a month we will have one land on an airship.'
 He mentioned the advantage Of such a scheme for coastal protection.
 General Patrick said 1t was proba- ble that Lieut.. R. L. Maughan, whose second attempt at dawn to dusk transcontinental flight was halted in Wyoming Thursday less than 700 miles from the goal would not be all lowed to make another attempt for the record this year. The air service believes the shortening of the day light as summer waneS would pre- vent achievement of the feat, accord ing to the general, who added:
 We are going to make that flight. but when I don't know"

SETTLEMENT REACHED
Two Year Struggle over Million Dol
 lar Estate Is Concluded

CHICAGO, July 21.-A two-year struggle over the s1.Ooo,OO0 estate of the late Mrs. Angela c. Gormully, widow of Richard P. Gormully, bi- cycle manufacturer. was settled be- fore Circuit Judge Victor r. Arnold today when heirs, who had contested q the will, agreed upon 8 cash settle ment.
 Joseph E. O'Meara, brother of Mrs Gormully, and his two sons, William D. and John O'Meara. attacked the will two years ago, asserting that Mrs. Gormully's will was made un- der undue influence" naming A. O'Hearn. rector of the American col lege at Rome, a Catholic institution. They also claim that Mrs. Gormully was mentally incompetent at the time the will was made.
 With the exception of s130,000, the entire estate was left by Mrs. Cor mully to various Catholic charities. The American college at Rome re- ceived $500,000 and several Chicago religious institutions were given sums amounting to about S1O0 900. OMeara was given s30,O00 under the will. His sons received nothing. On the other hand an adopted baby daughter was made a beneficiary of a Sl00,000 trust fund.
 Under the agreement OMeara gets S50,000 in addition to his $30,000 be- quest: each of his sons get $25,o00. This money will be taken in propor- tionate amounts from each legacy under the will.
