Predictions of poor quarterly re-
port by the United States Steel cor

Barely had the founda atoms OF the

The practice was: grab first place.
One vivid instance Of this, and one
which had an international reflex, is

Mrs. Merry was Inundated; her
husband, furious. He offered his arm
to his wife, seated her. then cast
about for partner for himself. His
eyes fell upon the charming American
wife OF the Spanish minister. He
started over to her side. A brisk
busy little fellow blocked the way. and
snatched the vacant chair. Mr.
Merry's agile and successful competi
