BIG DEMAND FOR STEEL.

From the Scranton Republican.
Demand for steel in the first quar-
ter OF the year has become so great
that the result has been an advance
in price. due entirely to a market In
which buyers must be accommodated
at an early day.
In this connection the Iron Age
saws. pittsburgh mills have speci-
fications from the automobile indus
t,v other sources that have been
heard from this week are the agri-
cultural works, which are now plan
ming a so per cent. operation; the
builders OF tanks and barges, who
have taken some good orders; also
the builders OF steam stovels and
cranes, who are now manufacturing
for stock, anticipating increased de-
mand in the spring. Also the smaller
railroad equipment manufacturers
have been particularly active in Sc
curing steel supplies
Large expectations i'm home build
ing are revealed. The buying Of
mates has been particularly heavy.
At Chicago mills there IS large ad-
ditional tank work. The Standard
oil Company of New Jersey has
doubled orders for steel recently
placed.
The only setback is that in some
sections of the country steel trans
portation must give way to the
movements OF mercantile freight
and coal. This applies particularly
to New England.
A most busy year Is indicated at
the steel mills, which fact means
assuredly that marked prosperity
will develop from the pronounced
trend toward the normal in general
conditions.

AMERICAN PRODIGALITY,
N tbe Tndiananolis News,

From the Indianapolis News.
An English industrial leader and
fnancier, who comes to the United
States every year for the purpose OF
observing business conditions, re-
ported TO his London associates
after his visit in 1922 that the Uni
ted States Is fast exhausting its
natural resources and will soon
have to turn to foreign markets for
oil, copper, lead and zinc. He re-
ferred to the present necessity for
importing oil as an example OF
what the United States is coming to
as a result OF its prodigal use OF
natural resources. He predicted that
within five years America will be
obliged to import oil at the rate OF
GOO. 900, 900 barrels a year.

the observer and the ingenuity of
Americans when II comes to devils

The reports which were made
simultaneously last week on life in
surance and bank savings are at
once astonishing and pleasing. They
indicate more than prosperity and
wealth in the nation. They show
that. with all the extravaganza that
exists among the foolish, there is
growing thrift among the wise.
The savings figures, which come
from the American Bankers Asso-
citation, show an increase OF a bill
lion and a half dollars in the saw
ings accounts of the banks of this
country. The American people have
sailed away eighteen billions. not
including what they have deposited
in the postal savings system and
the building and loan associations.
What is equally encouraging. the
individual accounts have grown
more than two millions in number
and now total about twenty-nlne
millions.
The statistics on life Insurance.,
which in recent years has come to
be regarded more and more as
medium for saving as we'll as for
the protection of dependents, are
even more impressive than the bank
figures. Forty large companies
which are members of the Assooia-
tion OF Life Insurance Presidents
and which write three-quarters of
the life insurance business OF this
country repout that they wrote last
year policies totaling more than six
and a third billions. This almost
equals the record OF 1920. that year
of imitation when money was spent
like water and the thriftiest of the
suddenly fortunate increased their
insurance as the buying power Of
the dollar decreased.
There is a marked difference be-

were only a billion and a half OF
dollars It is astounding to find now
that each year the people are put
ting away that amount and paying
an equal amount in premiums on
their life insurance. The total of
all bank deposits. savings and 9TH
erwise, was only four billions in
1890; now It is nearly forty billions!
In 1890 there were scarcely more
than a million life insurance policy
holders; now there are twenty-three
million policy holders.
A country in which eleven mil
lion Of it's twenty-five million fam
lilies own their homes. in which
there are twenty-nine million saw
ings accounts. in which there Is
an average OF one life insurance
policy for every home is surely a
country to be envied. And 1t is re-
freshing TO see, from statistics which
spell thrift, that the extravaganza
so prevalent in some places and
among some classes has not pene-
trated the flesh and bone Of the ma
tion.
It is a particularly good sign OF
the national drift toward provident
foresight and an encouraging prom
Use of prosperity and the conserva-
tion Of the peoples wealth when It
is seen that now. in spite OF high
costs, in spite OF the example of
the wasteful. in spite of the many
luxuries that tempt human nature,
the majority of Americans, and
particularly the wage earners. are
saving a good portion of their IN
comes.
The American people are not only
the most fortunate on earth; they
have discovered that good fortune
can be kept.

THE HYPNOTIC JAG.

From the Los Angeles Times.
In New York n professional hyp-
notist makes his subjects believe
they are intoxicated. Under the In
huences of his mesmeric forces they
behave exactly as II they were soused
to the decks with rum. 1t would
seem that this Svengali should be
able to put the bootleggers out OF
business. To all intents and pur-
poses a hypnotic Jag should be just
as exhilaratlng as one garnered

fectly sober and there will not be

CANADA DECLINES
TO ADOPT U. s. DRY
PLAN ON PERMITS

Washington, June co-The Canad-
ian government has informed the
State department. through the Brit
lsh ambassador here Of its inability
to adopt the suggestion nut forward
by the department last March that
clearance papers be declined to ycs-
sells with cargoes Of liquor destined
to ports in the United States unless a
permit authorizing its importation
was presented.
The department in announcing to-
day receipt of the note explained that
1t had addressed a note to the Brit
Ism ambassador for transmission to
the Canadian authorities, drawing
their attention to the difficulties ex-
perienced in enforcing the prohibit
ton laws Of the United States along
the Canadian border 1t was point
ed out that the Canadian authorities
permitted small motor boats to take
on carGocs of liquor and to make
regular customs Clearances to ports
in the United States, thus complying
with the Canadian law which allow
the expectation of liquor to a foreign
country.
1t was suggested that since the
iiiiloi 'iNicii VI liIUoL iIllo tiie L NJ =
ed States without a permit was i'll
legal the Canadian officials might
be disposed to decline clearance
papers to vessels with cargoes of
liquor to ports in the United States
unless permits authorizing impor-
tatiOn We're presented.
The reply of the Canadian govern
ment through the British ambassa-
dor, received Tuesday. said it had
carefully investigated the matter and
had ascertaincd that the provisions
of the law were being properly OBJ
served. it was further stated that
the export OF liquor from Canada
was not prohibited and there existed
no provisions in the customs laws or
regulations warranting refusal of
