Business Views

New York, May l.-Substartial
Improvement in business after clcc.
ton, or perhaps Il month before, was
predicated today by Ebert Gary,
chairman of the Y. s. Steel Corpora
ton, in announcing that the com
pany's earnings Cor the first quarter
of 1924 totalcd $50,O75,445. This
represented an increase of Sll6.465
over the last three months of 1928,
and $l5,295,376 over the correspond
ing period last year.
Estimating the extent of the cur
rent recession in trade, Mr.. Gary
said he believed new business on
April l was at least ten percent less
than four or six weeks before, ana
further drop of from s to 10 percent.
Directors of the steel corporation
today declared an extra dividend OF
50 cents Il share in addition to the
regular quarterly payment of Ia
pen cent op the common stock. This
action, the same as taken in the pre-
c, ding quarter. the head of the cor
polation explained, did not justify
the assumption that the stock had
been placed on a seven percent an
nual has S. The policy of the cor
poration, outlined in 1912, he said,
was to pay S percent annually, with
extra DIVIDEND as conditions war

that +. NJ. Stanton meet with n rep

public now can understand, in part,
what were the conditions in the life
of Woodrow Wilson from the day in
1919 when he was stricken in the Far
West until in 1924 he died in Wash

tragic figure; much of the time it was
constantly the object of public atten-

Wilson from the presidency, that lone
figure has been in the public consci-
business. Now, however, there is re-

nifty, beauty and noble simplicity
causes thrill of pride for all Ameri-
cans and sheds new luster on the
glory of womanhood.
In a singularly tragic way, Mrs.
