Graduates Get Start
 fn Newspaper Field

SEATTLE, Feb. 5.-The country, not the city, is the field for young men and women who take academic training in newspaper work, opines Dr. Matthew Lyle Spencer, dean of the school of journalism Of the Uni versity of Washington. He and Sol H. Lewis, who was graduated from the school ten years ago and is reputed to have achieved a comfortable es- tate, besides influence, as a publish CT of a weekly at Lynden Wash, dairy community, have worked out a plan under which they report that seven new graduates are acquiring newspapers.
 Dr. Spencer or MT. Lewis buys . paper and forms stock company, re- taining 51 per cent of the stock and putting 49 per cent into escrow A graduate is placed in charge of the paper receiving a salary and drawing dividends on the 49 per cent of the stock The dividends are applied in payments on the stock. When the dividends have paid for the forty nine per cent of the stock, the fifty one per cent is placed in escrow and payment continued on 1t with divi- dends.
 Tt isn't entirely altrustic, Dr Spencer said, declaring that young man or woman could acquire a news paper in this way in three to five years.

HIGH LIVING COST AFFECTS
 BRITISH STEEL BUSINESS

MIDDLESBORO, Eng, Feb. l. Speaking on the outlook in the steel trade, Sir Arthur Dorman, a member of one of the leading steel producing companies, said that whereas the cost Of living was over seventy per cent above pre-war cost, steel prices were up less than forty per cent. Un- less there was before long a radical reduction in the cost of livi lg in this country and in the price that the iron and steel trade had to pay for scl- vices, which it did not control, there would be a decline in the export of steel which would seriously affect the purchasing power Of this country ir foreign markets.
 If this was not to happen, he said, it might become necessary to subsi- dize the export of iron and steel pro duced in Great Britain until such time as an equilibrium was once more restored between the British and continental conditions of life.

Our present law has many of these
