S. STEEL PAYS.
FIFTY CENTS
EXTRA
Additional Dividend Declared
At Regular Quarterly
Meeting

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The
United States Steal Corporation yes
terday declared an extra dividend
Of 80 cents share, or y Of per
cent at its regular quarterly meet
ing. This extra dividend is the
same as was declared in the pre-.
vious three quarters. The regular
dividends OF TX per cent on the
preferred and TX per cent on the
common stock were also declared.
The net earnings Of the corpora.
ton Tor the third quarter were
$50, 71S,41 after deducting all oper-
ating and maintenance expenses to.
gether with taxes and bond inter.
est. This compares with net earn.
ings OF $47,053,6S0 for the third
quarter Of last year.
In order to meet extra dividend re-
qutrements the sum of $122,lO2 was
taken from the surplus and there
fore this amount shows as e deficit
on the statement.
After the meeting Judge Gary
stated that the lower earnings were
due to the fact that prices were
lower during the last quarter than
they were In the quarter preceding.
Just at the present time, less
than q week before election, there
Is in the minds Of business men
generally, a feeling Of anxiety con.
corning the possible election re-
suits" said Judge Gary. "As a
result, purchases which are being
made in the iron and steel indus.
try are made only by those who
are pretty certain In regard to
the results or by those who are
buying for everyday necessities.
From the volume Of business being
transacted in our lines II seems to
me that the majority Of people
believe that the election viii show
that business men do not propose
to take any chances on the main
tenance of our governmental pol
icies or constitutional privileges ana
safeguards and on our observance
Of the laws Of the land. Our
bookings up to the Gath OF Octo-
Der are larger per day than they
were the same date last month.
Our selling prices are not quite
as large as they were the same
period last month and that IL the
reason why the earnings Of the
last quarter were somewhat less
than the earnings for the proceed.

IF the election goes wrong we
will ell suffer and II will take
some time, perhaps a long time,
to recover. Everything indicates
that we are not going to have
hard times but, on the contrary,

Bake the potatoes in the usual way. cut them in half and scoop out the contents. Add grated cheese, but ter, salt and pepper, and refill the halves. Brown the tops slightly in quick oven and serve piping hot.
 Cream cheese has many uses. But a recipe for a delicious salad comes from California. On a bed of lettuce leaves serve mound of chopped pineapple mixed vita cream cheese and walnuts.
 Lunch time suggests the use of cheese with toast. A particularly appetizing way of serving this combination is to place slice of cheese between two slices of bread and toast the sandwich in your oven.

Style Pointers of the Spring Season

DRACTICAL Paris has sent out
 many good suggestions by
 which the woman of slender purse can profit this season. No need to purchase anew suit if you cannot afford. it. No need to in- vest in a new Summer coat unless you care to have something en- tirely new. The lovely accessories which are to be had at little cost can transfer an old frock into Q ravishing new creation.
 Paris offers us the scarf. With it we can effect an entirely new appearance to suit or coat of which we have grown weary. Silk knit ted scarves, are gorgeous in color ing and give an up-to-date smart ness when wound about the throat and tied in front.
 Then there is the vestee and the organdie gilet, riyaling the collar. and-cuf sets of lace, embroidery or sheer net.
 A lmoire vestee of Chinese red can be worn with 8 blue tailored { suit. The color combination is one of the latest, and when the vest shows pockets embroidered in blue silk, one does not stop to wonder whether it has been added as an afterthought. Costume unity is essential and it can be effected in many ways
 That Tuxedo suit which you have probably grown weary of wearing can be given a new in- terest by adding the organdie gilet. These fronts" are strictly tail ored, showing only a feminine touch in rufhed collar and pockets.

'sThe studio was charming. Kitty !. saw the easel and the small plat . form on which she was to pose. about it this evening"" Kitty said, F as she snapped the clasp on her gloves and sailed through the door after loving kiss to her mother.
 Across the narrow street Kitty made her way, speculatlngly, on what the future would bring. She did not know who Howard Preston was, save that he had announced himself an artist in need of model and who had, perhaps im- pulsively, offered Kitty the job.
 She stopped before tumhled , looking building, over the front of which splashes of yellow and green and violet paint made grotesque figures. The little card did not 4 match the address, although Pres tons studio could not be. far away. . At the south side of Washington
 Square, huddled against group < of sparkling, modern buildings, was shabby one whose number matched that on the card.
 ~ Broken stone steps led to the en- trance. Kitty hesitated. But the girl had been brought up in Green '; wich Village. She was aware that artistic folks were strange ones.
 And as her mother had aptly re-
 marked on many occasions, there
 was no telling whether they were ;; millionaires or paupers, the way they lived and liked it.

CHEESE is an excellent food A because it is in the same class as meat, considering it's nutritive value. Cheese is almost solid pro tein, however, and should be light ened by combining with bulky foods when eaten as the main dish of a meal.
 A delicious luncheon dish can be made by filling green peppers with bits of cheese, bacon and bread crumbs, and baking in a shallow pan until the peppers are thoroughly cooked. Seeds, of course, should be removed from the peppers before filling.
 When the family tires of pota- toes in the various styles you have been accustomed to serving, why not change the flavor a little by adding grated cheese? Crearned potatoes with a little grated cheese added to the sauce are zestful in

Kitty found the creaking stairway. She made her way up to the third floor and tinidly rapped. on the wide, old door at the rear. Pres ton opened it crack and peered through.
 "It's Miss Martin, Mir. Preston. You asked me to come overt
 When he heard Kitty's voice he flung the door wide open and made low bow.
 Enter, Nam 'selle," he greeted. q thought you were a bill col lector. They've been bothering me lately. I hate 'enn all" !
 Kitty laughed. "Does that mean that I'm to get paid when you happen to have money?"
 Preston looked up quickly and smiled.
 Eve plenty of money for my work" he explained, ''but none for bill collectors. When sell my magazine cover I'll pay the hounds. I've an order for it, of course." he added quickly, "but no one pays until the picture is delivered"
 Kitty sighed with relief. She was thinking of her mother watch. ing for her pay envelope every. Saturday. It was the main sup port of the little family.
 Kitty glanced about the enor- nous room where Preston worked. It was dazzling with light. The glare brought out the exquisite col brings of the furnishings, which were rich and rare. A spangled curtain closed off room beyond. Cushions of exquisite hues were flung carelessly about the daven- port and chairs. The studio was charming. Kitty saw the easel and the small platform beyond on which she was to stand while pos ing.
 There's a wide screen over there," Preston announced when he saw the girl studying the place. "You can step behind that and remove your things. I want to make certain you're the type for the new illustration I have in mind"

Eat Sauerkraut for Health

CNAUERKRAUT is fennented cabbage. And since cabbage s is not only one of the most delicious and inexpensive vege-N tables it Is also one of the most healthful. Cabbage is rich in.lime, potash and phosphorus, and in iron; also in calcium, the bone building substance.
 For many centuries cabbage has been the favorite food of man, but not until science began ana lyzing the honely vegetable did it's true value as food come to light. Cabbage contains roughage necessary to proper intestinal &C.,. ton. This is one of the prime req sons why the crude vegetable should be included in the Spring menu. It is the time of year when the body must be put in condition to withstand the devastating eff fects of warmer weather on the health.
 But why ferTnent the cabbage in order to make sauerkraut?

We have all noticed how cutting superfluous hair makes the appear ance of the new hair more pronni- nent. The new hair becomes heav- fer in growth and more prominent in its natural color. If this is the case with superfluous hair we have tried to destroy, why should not this rule apply when we are striv- ing to cultivate . luxuriant growth with which to frame our features?
 Whenever the hair Is thin, life less or lusterless, or whenever it begins to fall out to a. noticeable extent, one of the first suggestions 1. brou9ht forth as a remedy is,
 ssCUT THE HAIR"
 After this has been done very definite improvement is seen in it's condition. W
 Look about among your friends and see how many of them had shingled hair when they were youngsters. You will be surprised at the large number. Then see how many of. them show ten dency to badness. You will find the number surprisingly low.
 Get out the family album and see how the stringy curls O. braids of several generations agon com pare with the luxuriant tresses of our present day bobbed hair chil- dren.
 My mothers hair was shingled when she was little girl At the time of her marriage, 1893, she wore it according to the prevail ing mode-cut short and csirled all over the head. When the fad passed she again let it grow long. About ten years ago it began to fall out and was getting very thin. So she cut it again and now has as beautiful a mop of hair as one would care to see
 My own hair was stringy and thin when I was small. Mother, remembering her own experience, cut it. Within two years the crop of. hair l bad was the envy of all my school chums. It stayed bObbed for five years, until I was twelve. Then it was allowed to

in fascinating groups. Yellow hat and yellow hosiery complete the costume.
 Materials which show a deep border of embroidery are made up into charming tunic frocks. The embroidery is rendered inconspic- uously beautiful by matching the color of the material on which it is applied, or the embroidery can be as gorgeously colorful as the Summer season permits.
 Drawn-work batiste is another fashionable fabric. Cretonne is used to trim a simple linen frock. And there is wealth of patterns and qualities to select from an array of beautiful voiles, which are so appropriate for the season.

slight acidity which is caused by fermentation safeguards against the destruction of the vitamines in cooking. It is a well established fact that vitamines resist high temperatures much better in an acid medium than they do in 8 neutral or alkaline medium.
 Sauerkraut gives us all the valuable properties of cabbage, and in form which is not only more palatable, but more easily digested. It does more than this. The process of fermentation which it undergoes produces tactic acid, known to science as one of the most valuable prophylactics. This property renders sauerkraut not only more digestible, but also more valuable as q food.
 But the outstanding value of sauerfraut on the menu is its dis injecting process in the intestine. The pleasing, sour taste has stim- ulating effect upon the glands. The acid property of the vege- table, has also a laxative value.

Neckties Arc
 New

n ACK up a few neckties for
 your tailored toggery if you
 want to have a complete costume during vacation. The Sum mer ties are in and are gorgeous to behold.
 The knitted necktie has come to claim place. in woman's ward robe after it was firmly established for the masculine fashion world. Now the knitted tie is made up in the most intriguing colors, brilliant as the Summer flowers.
 The short bow-necktie is enjoy ing a vogue also. This sort of tie is used with the high, turnover collar. The narrow, silk length is slipped under the collar flat and drawn through to the front, where it isgtied into a small, fiat bow.
 Peter Pan collars, which are seen on many of the new blouses, demand the bow tie. A wider width of silk is cut on the bias and hemstitched at it's sides to fashion this necktie. If sufficiently long, the Peter Pan tie is drawn under the blouse collar and tied into a bow at front. Or, many girls pre- fer to preserve the fiat line of the collar and pin the bow tie to the blouse.
 Neckwear shops are showing knitted scarves among their dis plays. These are beautifully soft and becoming when worn with the tailored coat or the tailored suit. Brilliant shades and exquisite color combinations are to be found in this new sort of neckwear. Among the conspicuOusly popular colors are the oranges, blues, black and gold.

When khe barber cut my hair he took off enough to make two switches twenty-six inches long" has. been materially stimulated by cutting it.
 It doesn't seem reasonable that something which will aid the growth of the hair will suddenly turn and destroy all of the good work it has done, does it?
 Next week am going to give you some suggestions for dressing bobbed hair up for formal wear.
 Qusstion-I am troubled with sites. Is there any remedy, for them2 I not only suffer when 1 have them, but they are so un- pleasant to look at that I hate to go anywhere. MARGARET.
 Anawer-Roiled tea leaves make an excellent remedy for this ale ment. Make a pack by placing the boiled leaves in a small white cloth. Place over the eye and bind in place so that 1t will not slip during thu night Tn the morning wash with a warm boric, acid solution before removing.
 Qusssion-How can l make up my eyes so that 1t is not apparent? The grease paint will not spread smoothly and it never looks well. GRACE.
 AnBwer-Rub a little cold cream on the eyeiids before applying the eyebrow pencil. The cream softene the grease paint and you will find that it will blend easily.
 Question Will you tell me of 8 good dry shampoo? My hair is so oily that I have to wash it every week. Does washing it that often hurt 1t In any way? HELEN.
 Answer-Beat the white of an egg until 1t is stiff. Rub through the hair lightly and then arrange 1t In the usual manner. Bind a piece of cheese cloth around the head so that the hair will not become dis- arranged during the night. Tn the morning brush the hair and you will notice a fine. white powder will come out. This is the white of egg which has dried and 1t brings all of the dust and oil with 1t, Once hair. Tn fact, Itthink that the hair should be washed at least that often. Keeping the scalp pores free from dirt so that the nourlshment from the glands can feed easily will never harm the hair.
