created his trade, is peculiarly an
American institution. A half CEN

considered the maximum for safety
and utility. Then came Bessemer

Here was material that would per-
form with mathematical exactness.
A steel column of given size estab-
lished that it would do a specific
amount Of work in a more efficient
manner than any other known mate
rial. This development OF steel came
at a time when land values in the
business sections of the larger cities
were becoming almost prohibitive.
Taller buildings were the only solu-
ton, and structural steel made them
possible.
"TaiIor Made" BUILDINGS
Quickly there developed, between
the rolling mills and the purchaser,
the structural steel fabricating plant.
Now was come. indeed, the era of
the tailor-made building and the
structural steel worker. From the
engineers drawings and specifica-
tions the framework of the great
structure was fabricated by the

which designated it's place in the
skeleton. 1t became the steelwork-

proper place, and drive home each
previously designated rivet.

ger entrance the pedestrian. The
structure which he so accurately fits
together catches the imagination of

built like a human being, and does
practically everything a man does
except walk. His simile is well
worth quoting:
THE metal feet rest on the solid
rock. which was reached by huge
caissons. Its frame work of steel is

and riveted ribs, arms, legs and
spine. Its joints can move ever so |
when heat expands and cold

that it can resist the strain Of storm.

Nothing further has developed re-

but the rumor has gained strength
that a temporary government sub

proposed. The idea of such trade
subsidies Is not very popular in the
country, but in the present case gov
ernmental aid might be tacitly ac-
cepted as a temporary expedient in
tiding the coal industry over diff

Very plain speaking was indulged
in today by former ministers of the
late labor government. stephen
Walsh, formerly secretary for war,
said that the coal owners, according
to their own figures. made an aver
age profit of more than 16,OOO,00
pounds sterling yearly since the 1921
