BUOYANT OPENING. IF MARKET GIVES. WAY BET FORE BEARS
Steel Particular Object Of Attack, Yet The Result
 Was Not So Bad
By WALTER B. BROWN Editor New York Commercial IeaSsd Nx1srn to Tha Ara-HeraId

deased Wire to The AEe-Heraldl
 NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-What may now be regarded as a really definite announcement of the end of passive resistance in the Ruhr caused con- siderable buoyancy at the opening of tie stock market Tuesday.
 Added to this was the favorable showing of the railroads, whose Au- gust earnings statements are now coming forward. The strength did not last long, however. as 1t gave way before an attack or the pears on the general industrial list. They professed deep concern over the e.f fast ai that fall trade is not starting off as well as expected.
 It is wrong to attempt. to injure confidence in business, even for. stock market purpose, and the public should not be too greatly influenced by such reports. Steel was par ticular object of attack and yet the United States Steel corporation book ings in the first 21 days of Septem- Der averaged 31.S91 tons day against 15,26S tons for the same period in August and 2S,647 tons a day for the entire month of August. United States Steel Products com pany, which is the export subsidiary of the big corporation, booked orders during the week ending September 21 for 21,532 tons. The corpofation's subsidiaries are now operating steel making departments at 90.3 per cent of capacity against SIS per cent | week ago. The blast furnace opera tions are unchanged from last week, or about S5 per cent.
 Reports to the steel corporation from all subsidiaries indicates steady improvement in orders with varied demand, particularly for bars, shapes and plates. Stocks in tAe hands of consumers are said to be low, and deliveries well taken.
 Renewal of activity such as the above figures suggest, should go q long way toward restoring whatever degree ot confidence has been im- paired by the bear raids on Wall streer.

 Mounds now being excayated by Professor Harry T. shetrone near chlllicothe are supposed to be 1000 years old. and If this Is true. then the man who posed for the statue shown in the picture probably lived several thousand years before the advent Of Christ on earth. and while the rest Of the world was still in the dark. dark ages.

AMERICA EXCELS IN
 USES OF AIRPLANE
Aircraft Serves Many Practical
 Purposes in the United States

New York. Sept. 2i.-"While other
 nations are developing air power as
 a destructive weapon the United
 States, following It's traditional mill
 tary policy. is putting aircraft to work" reads report made public by
 the aeronautical chamber of com
 merce. "The forest service is utilizing
 planes in timber patrol in Oregon and California. The coast guard has avi-
 ators in it's employ The coast and geodetic survey is remapping sections of coastline from the air. The Smith sonian Institution has found that aerial scientific studies of fisheries can be made admirably. The air mail of the post office department has op- erated with increasing efficiency for the last three and one-half years and only recently began night flying ex- periments which will reduce the time of the transcontinental trip to 30 hours or less. In all of these activi- ties aircraft figure solely .as vehicle performing constructive service of economic benefit to the nation.
 Considerable interest. attaches to now being conducted by the bureau of entomology, department of agriculture. in collaboration with the army air service. In 1921 special y equipped military planes were uti- ized to scatter insecticide over a val uable catalpa grove in Ohio which had been all but destroyed by cater pillars. The pests were poisoned by | he dust which was sifted down from ,hove and the grove was saved. Early | his summer the air service lent motor balloon to the bureau of ento- | nology and lowering flights were suc- made over gypsy moth i'm ested orchards and forests in New Hampshire.
 "Of even greater significance is the lviation work carried on by B. R. .oad in charge of the delta labora- cry at Tallulah, La. The south loses millions of dollars through the dam 4ge wrought to the cotton crops by he boil weevil and other pests. Trials lave been going on for. more than ear and are proving very satisfac- ory."
