Evening star., 1927-10-02

Partly because of the feeling of
uncertainty that now exists there Is
nothing substantial about the booms
of any OF the other ca ndidates. In
fact, it is felt in political circles here
that with the exception of the move
ment TO land the nomin3 ton for
Frank 0. LOwden of Illinois, which
is reported as being anything but
brisk, none of those who have been
prominently mentioned i'm connection
with the Republican nomination will
permit anything resembling an or
canized campaign in his behalf.
nd the politician ms expect this con.
dition In prevail right up In the time
the convention meets, unless the
President does or says something in
the meantime.
This unusual situation is causing
many of the party leaders no little
concern. not so much because Of their
fear for the future of the party but
for the security of their own political
fortunes. AS a result Of the unCer-
tainty about the ultimate attitude of
the President and the unmistakable
overwhelming sentiment in favor of
him for another term which prevails
throughout the country, the politi-
clans are compelled to hold off from
aligninG themselves with any one of
the availaple candidates who have
been prominently mentioned up to
this time.

A NEW IRON AGE

A new reduction process for iron ore has come in
which bids fair revoutionize the steel and bus
mess of the world. It is called the Hornsey process
from John H. Hornsey, metallurgical engineer former
ly of New York, who has been working out its details
in England.
The National Tube company, a subsidiary of the
United States Steel Corporation, is sufficiently con-
vnced of its practically to be spending several mil
lions in installing it at Lorain, O.
The cost is said to be only one third much as by
the old method. Less heat is required Low grade
coal can be used instead of expensive coke.
If the Hornsey method proves satisfactory as its
owners and pushers think it is going to be- it will
that most OF the present blast furnaces will have
be scrapped There will be far reaching consequen
in the steel industry all the world many of
them impossible to forsee.
1t is too soon yet to know whether all the imposing
predictions will come true, whether steel will become
cheaper than wood whether ore can be reduced at the
mines, changing the whole lake shipping situation.
But stranger and more unsettlng things than this
have happened in the century just past. Scrappng
old machinery dismayed an American corpora
ton if in place of it could be installed machinery and
methods which would pay for themselves and
for the apparent waste. If the people directly con-
cerned know and understand the change that is COM
ing and make themselves ready to accept it instead of
of fighting it, the change need not be disrupting.

every evening when the husband home he found
his chair by the fireside, his slippers waiting and

well bulk equally large in the family life and be
equally worth reporting She might have baked him
