u. S. Steel Common Put
On Regular 81 Annual
Basis By Its Directors

NEW YORK, April 28.-The estab-
lishment of United States steel com
mon stock on regular 81 annual divi-
dend basis was approved by the di-
rectors Tuesday at the suggestion of
j. p. Morgan. Although extra pay
ments have resulted in the distri-
button of this amount annually since
the beginning of 1924, the action of
the corporation in authorization a
fixed 81 rate was interpreted as an
indication of its confidence In con-
tinued prosperity. Elbert H. Gary
head of the corporation since it was
founded in 1901, was reelected chair
man for aonther year together with
the other officers.
John Hulst, formerly assistant to
the vice president and at one time
chief engineer of the Carnegie steel
works was elected as vice president
to succeed John Reis, who recently
resigned.
Total earnings of the corporation
for the first quarter of the year
were $45,O61,285, equivalent after all
charges and preferred dividends to
1888 on the common shares. This
compares with $42,280, 465, or $3.38 d
share in the final quarter of 1925
and 39,S82,992 or $293 a share in the
first quarter of last year. Com
menting on current business, Chair
man Gary said that conditions gem
orally were in very good shape con-
sidering the backwardness of the
spring season.
An effort has beel~C made" he ex-
planned, ION the part of some one
representing some ricles, or some in
terest, to discourage business by
suggestions that there is substantial

there is any real justification for
such reports. The demand for every

forts of the people-is great and
! there is plenty of money to pay for

look may change in some localities

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
PRISONERS

The birds are singing in the trees,
| And from the brooks ard bogs
There comes a sound of chants and
| glees
| OF myriad little frogs;
/ The rabbits child is free to roam
| Or doze beneath the sun
And never has to hurry home
| To get his lessons done.
| While down the lane beyond the pool
The crows and blackbirds wing,
Because there isn't any school
To shut them from the Spring.
! The trifliums star the mossy glen
| Above the chattering rill,
The violets are out again
In crowds behind the hill
But little folks must sit for hours
Impatient to be free,
To go and hunt for Weakening flowers
| Along with Brother Bee;
But woods and fields are far away
A mile, or just about,
| And there's so little time to play
When school at last is out
And when vacation days have come
| When one has time to spare,
The flowers are sere, the birds are
! dumb
| And sultry is the air,
! The crickets chirrup, creeping low
Across the dusty lawn,
And by their drowsy song we know
That Spring has come and gone.
And busy toiling as we were
| On dreary school book lore
! We barely caught glimpse of her
! Outside the schoolhouse door!
