steel purchasers are more cautious than they hare
been for years. Extreme conservatism is holding
back recovery in the industry. Market letter
That's the trouble" declared Elmer Twitchell to-
day, as he exhibited the above paragraph. America
is too full Of timid steel purchasers. Every fellow
you ask to 60 out and buy a few steel rails or some
thing gets SO cautious that he's pathetic.
What the country needs today is some bold steel
buyers. We need some courageous o~utspoken citizens
who will come right out unhesitatingly and say. III
take a ton Of pig iron without hemming and having
all over the lot about the price. If you want to APP
p~recate what real caution is just stop the next ten
persons you meet and ask. How are you fixed for a
little steel or scrap iron?' They will go into their
shells so fast it will startle you"
tMr. Twitchell. readers may recall, is the originator
of the Buy a Steel Rail movement to restore bust
ness prosperity. HI launched a campaign several
months ago to get every American to buy one rail
or its equivalent in ingots. bar plates or line pipe
Ed
IF We want prosperity back we should all throw
caution to the winds, phone the nearest steel mill and
place an order" he continued. Il pointed out some
time ago that if every American adult would buy
one steel rail- II would bring back a bull market al
most overnight. The timidity is terrible. People get
scared and fidgety the minute YOU suggest it to EN-.
They Immediately ask what they would do with a steel
rail If they got ii? Who cares what they would do
with 1t? Stick 1t out in the yard or shove 1t under
the bed. The idea is to buy it and pay for it as a
matter Of duty"
"What do you think makes people 50 cautious
about buying steel?" Mr.. Twftchell was asked.
There are many reasons" Elmer replied. "One
man | talked to was afraid to buy any because he said
he thought that II he came home with a steel rail
or a load Of scrap iron he would have a hard time
explaining things to the wife. Another said he al
ways was cautious about buying steel because ne felt
foolish carrying it. Another man said he would not
buy a single rail because the last time he bought
one the wife always left it some place around the
house where he would bark his shins on il"
However" concluded Elmer, I'VE must get rid Of
this steel buying timidity. My message to every citi-
zen is, BE a bold steel purchaser Don't hesitate
Don't delay. Go to the telephone now and say in a
clear distant voice, I want a steel rail-"

Time Clocks For The Co-Eds

The dean Of women at the University Of Minnesota
proposes that a sort Of time clock be installed at So
rority houses and rooming houses for all co-eds who
60 out on parties. Each girl would be obliged. be-
fore going out. to mark down on a card the hour. the
place she was going and the name Of her escort. On
her return the hour would be marked down as well.
The problems Of a dean Of women in a big state
university are knotty ones. heaven knows; yet il is
a little hard to work up any great amount Of adj
miration for this particular scheme. Offhand. one
would say that If a girl Of college age must be card
indexed as closely As all that She belongs at home
with her mother instead OF at college.

October And The Auto

october Is a peculiar month for the motorist. II Is
OF all the months in the year, the best for driving
out through the open country; yet there is something
In the air that makes one feel out Of place behind a
steering wheel. In October the automobile is an
anachronism.
October. in fact. is by way Of being an old-fashioned
month. 1t calls back the flavor Of forgotten days
and outworn customs. It's forests turn to flame on
the hills, and a thin blue haze drifts over farmlands
and river bottom valleys. and the old days send out
ghosts. to come back and cock amused and satiric
eyes at the ways of the moderns. A dreamy peace
takes possession Of things-and the speedy. active au-
tomobile does not fit the scene at all.
In October staid city jewellers. who would be lost If
you took them half a mile away from the pavement,
recall their childhood days in the country. Shocks Of
corn. regimented on rolling fields like the wig-wams
of Indian summer. bring back to mind the times
when. as a y%oungster. one played hide and seek among
them, burrowed inside Of the rustling stacks or fur
lively made fearful cigarets of cornsilk. One can
remember driving in a buggy through the autumn
woods, with the wheels sinking quietly into the sandy
ruts and the horse amiably Flooding along at a three
mile-an-hour gait.
There isn't any place in a month like that for au-
tomobiles. For the hallmark OF October is its sense
Of leisure, Of indolent and unhurried peace; and the
automobile is the chosen emblem Of an age which has
left leisure and Incidence far behind 1t.
Perhaps that is why the American Of 1880. taking
a drive through the October countryside, feels the
time-honored melancholy Of autumn so strongly. The
brief calm Of Indian summer bespeaks a day when
people had more time 10 live than they have have
now; a day when there were fewer mechanical dis
fractions and less need for them, a day when sim
plicity had not yet given way to complexity and hui
man life developed closer to the earth and its old
mysteries.
It is not pleasant to be reminded Of this; for such
a reminder inevitably awakens. in the mind of a city
man of 1890, the dreadful suspicion that he has been
bilked somewhere. 1t puts into his head the notion
that all Of this progress which he admires 50 greatly
has possibly cost more than it has been worth. He
begins to understand how Esau felt after he sold his
heritage for a mess OF pottage.
The remedy, Of course, is clear. Avoid the country
highways in October, if you would keep your peace Of
mind. October, seemingly drowsy and idle, is really
deceptive and hooking.

chell froze into dignity. If icy stares
could have killed the girl beside
he would have been a lifeless
victim.
Hold your tonguel" Mrs. Mitch
ell shouted.
Celia was angry. There we're
bright red circles in each Of her
cheeks. Resentment that had been
slowly gathering nov burst forth.
My mother sews for a livinglr
She exclaimed. She's not ashamed
of it, and neither am I. She's the
finest person in al the world
You've no right to say things like
that about people vino work.
They're-they're just as good as you
are-they're betterl"
She stopped, flushed. and looked
at Mrs. Mitchell. 1t had been like
touching a match to the fuse OF 2
giant fire cracker. Realization OF
what she had done came over the
girl gradually. Her face was white
with excitement. Celia looked out
the window OF the car at the
street. She could not trust herself
10 speak.
She was surprised that her grand
mother did not say something.
Pride kept her from turning her
head.
They rode in silence until they
reached Grammercy Park. Thomp-
son halted the car and held back
the door for them to descend. Ce-
liza darted a quick glance at Mrs.
Mitchell. Frigid. informal. the
white-haired woman stepped 10 the
sidewalk. Not by the faintest sign
did she .ecognize the girls pres
ence. Mrs. Mitchell moved majes-
tically up the stairs and into the
house.
Celia followed. She knew she had
