 Across the continent, Delaware had the lowest figure on marriages, only 5.2 per 1000, with North Caro- lima close upon it with six. North Carolina showed a considerable de- crease from the preceding year, the statisticians said because of a law requiring five days notice prior to issuance of licenses to those under I21.
 Georgia had the lowest proportion of divorces to marriages, one being granted only to each 13.3 new un- ions. In Nevada there was one di- vorce to each 2.3 marriages.
 Numerically Texas led in divorces, with 1886. Illinois next with 15,760; Ohio had 15,313, and California 15,- 099. The only other state having more than 10000 divorces was Michigan, with 11,981.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-Matri- mony claimed 1,232,559 couples ir the United States last year, whilf during the same period POI ,475 di- vorces were recorded.
 The preliminary report of the 1929 matrimonial statistics issued by the Department of Commerce showed 10.1 marriages were performed for every 1000 of population, while di- vorces totaled 166 per thousand.
 The marriages recorded one of the largest yearly increases, nu- merically and in percentage, ex- ceeding the preceding years total by 50062, or AZ per cent. There had been a decrease the preceding year of Is by comparison with 1927. The divorces although showing an increase of 2.3 per cent over 1928, could not keep up with the growth in marriages.
 Ratio of Divcrces
 The ratio of divorces to mar riages, computed by the depart- ment in response to numerous re- quests, showed that for each 6.1 marriages performed one couple was dissolved. The year before the ratio was an even six to one.
 Nevada was the outstanding lead- CT among the states, both, in mar riage and divorce. Divorces to- taled 2,533 and were 28 per 1000 of population, but the rate of mar riages per 1000 was 63.7. This was

STEEL PRODUCTION
HELD NEAR NORMAL
Rails, Structural Work and
Farm Tools Orders Offset
Declines Elsewhere.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURGH, April 2S.-It has APP
peared in the last three months that
steel was doing better than trade in
general. Now some explanation Of the
apparent divergence can be given. In
the first place, as statistical records
have accumulated, it appears that gen.
eral trade was not doing as badly as
had been supposed. Because the stock
market collapse seemed to call for an
industrial depression, all unfavorable
features of the trade situation were
paraded, while good features were
viewed with reserve or perhaps ignored.
In the second place steel activity has
been supported by certain special lines
which had practically no change in
their requirements from year previous.
Four Lines Cited.
-Four lines may be cited in this con-
nection-rails, agricultural implements,
fabricated structural work and freight
cars. Production of rails against an
nual orders, for replacement work, has
been at least as heavy as last year,
probably heavier, and the same may
be said of agricultural implements. In
the case of fabricated structural steel
the monthly reports of the Department
of Commerce show an increase, only
l to 2 per cent, but nevertheless an
increase. in shipments of the structural
fabricating shops from the first quarter
of last year to the first quarter of
this. AS to freight cars, there CHANGED
to be light production in the first quar-
ter OF last year, reports OF class
railroads showing only 9,159 cars in
stalled during the first three months
of 1929, while since then installations
have been fairly uniform at approx
mately as many each month.
Too much attention, perhaps, has
been paid to dullness in the automo-
bile trade. Last year the proportion Of
steel going to the automobile industry
ranged from nearly IS per cent in April
and May down to almost nothing in the
last two months of the year, while for
the year as whole the proportion has
been reported at about 10 per cent.
Automobile production in the first four
months of this year is 81 to 80 per cent
lighter, in point Of number, than in the
same period of last year, while, on &C.
count of production running still more
to light cars this year, the decrease in
steel consumption is estimated at some
what less than IS per cent. This Is not
an entirely new trend, since for 1928
and 1929 the proportion Of automobile
steel was ascertained to be the same,
about 10 per cent; yet there was a
much larger increase in. the number Of
cars and trucks produced than there
was In the total tonnage of steel made.
Ingot Production.
Steel ingot production in the first
three months of this year was of IL
per cent from a year previous, while
for four months, through April. the de-
crease is 13 to IA per cent. With the
lines just mentioned consuming as much
much steel as year previous, there was
room for the automobile industry to de-
crease more than IS per cent and still
leave steel with only the mild decrease
shown.

H|GH-GRADE BOND
ISSUES ARE FIRM

Steady Trend Upward.
BY. r. III. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 2s.-ConfuSing
movements occurred in bonds today as
well as In stocks.
High-grade domestic issues were in
clined to stiffen, in contrast to weak
ness in some of the lower type of in
dustrial mortgages. Foreign obliga-
lions were again heavy. Convertib,es,
that had been leading in trading, were
affected by the speculative situation
and as a group were reactionary.
First mortgage railroad bonds adj
vanced fractionally. There has been
more disposition to buy them on the
part Of insurance companies and saw
ingS banks now that they have had a
substantial decline. In line with this
there was also good tone to second
grade rails, including number of the
new AZ per cent issues, as those Of
the Frisco and Rock Island. Industrials
of the better grade were a trif1e soft
and there were some declines in public
utilities.
American Telephone & Telegraph
convertible AVS were of 3 points be-
fore midday and at one time showed q
decline of more than IS points from
the high price of the year. Losses
also occurred in International Tele-
phone, Atchison and Baltimore g.
Ohio AVS.
Consolidation Coal SIS duplicated last
weeks low record of 4911, after an early
recovery to nearly 81. Pathe rs, which
ran up 1917 points last week, declined
21a points International Paper 5s were
slightly better. The local fractions lost
u to point.
In the foreign group the Germans
were the weakest Of the prominent is
sues. The government per lent loan
was OF nearly 2 points from its recent
high. German Central Eank IS, below
IS, compared with price of 80 short
time ago, when the market for all Of
these issues was bid up rapidly. Toxic
Electric IS sold lower thap on the break
Of two weeks ago, but the Japanese
Government 6Eas maintained their
price, which seems to confirm reports
of new government loan. French and
Australian loans were slightly lower.
OF the new issues today the convert
IDLE preferred stock of the Sicily Oil
Co. attracted most attention and sold
at an immediate and substantial pre-
MUM. There is already so much I'M
digested material to choose from in the
bond market that unless a new offering
has q highly attractive convertible fea-
ture, or is priced well under the market,
it Is difficult to retail.

INDUSTRIES TURN
TO STERILIZATION
Production and Employment
to Be Regulated in
Economy Plans.

Practical measures by which Ameri-
can industries are stabiliZing produc-
ton and employment and reducing sea-
sonal and cyclical fluctuations are sum-
married in a report on Balancing
Production and Employment Through
Management Control" which has just
been issued by the department Of man
ufacture of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States
These methods, which are being fol-
lowed by a number of industries, fall
under three heads-management meth
DDS of balancing production through
planning and sales forecaSting, diverSi-
f1cation, research and Standardization:
PERSONNEL policies, such as centralized
employment and transfer, diversified
training, flexible working periods and
labor turnover control, and cooperative
programs, including joint community
programs, reduction OF seasonal opera
ton in construction industries and
other collective movements.
Some companies have attained viz
tual production stability by estimating
demand over a long period and appor-
tioning production equally by the week
or month to meet this demand. Others
have achieved the same result by di-
versifying production, supplementing
primary commodity manufacture with
the manufacture of other related COM
modities which can be made during
off seasons. Still others attained bal
ance by storage of products during
slack periods.
A number of companies have by the
establihment of centralized employment
through personnel departments reduced
fluctuations in labor requirements and
use has been made of the So-called
flying squadron OF specially trained
workers to be used on special or rush
orders. Other companies have found
1t feasible by an exchange arrangement
to keep employment more nearly con-
slant and, by diversifying training.
have given labor a greater degree Of
flexibility to meet changing employ
ment conditions.
Communities have approached the
same problem through joint programs
looking to the more effective and con-
slant use of their labor supplies.
The report of the study Of the de-
partment of manufacture is now avail
able for distribution.
