TONNAGE
SHOWS GAIN

Untitled orders of the U. S.
Steel Corp, as of November 80,
increased 157,873 tons to o total
of 3,639, 1886 tons, compared with
3,481,763 tons on October 81,
3,424,338 tons on September 80
and 4,124,345 tons on November
80, 1929.
Although the financial district
had anticipated an increase, the
gain reported was much larger
than had been looked for. Trade
circles, however, had come pretty
close to the total. estimates in
the trade running between 100, 900
and 100000 tons.
The gain for November brings
the total orders on the books of
the corporation to the highest
point reached since July this year.
It is the second successive month
in which an increase has been
reported.

IRON AND STEEL
SHOW GAINS

PITTSBURGH, Dec. II UN.S).
Due to preponderantly favorable
Developments during the week, the
Iron Age will say today in its
weekly summary Of the iron and
steel trade, the industry has
gained confidence and, although
some further recession this month
seem inevitable, there has been
a gradual gain in demand for
forward delivery.
The trend now seems to be
definitely upward, this tendency
having been given impetus by
last weeks advance Of 81 ton
on plates, shapes and bars for
first quarter shipment. Rail con-
tracing gives promise Of getting
under way and a large plate Of
the domestic tin plate contracting
for the first half Of 1891 has
been completed. Pipe lines
promise to give the mills renewed
support and the automobile in
dustry Is buying more steel.
Composite prices Of the Iron
Age on finished steel at 2.121 o
pound, and on heavy melting
scrap at SLIPS a ton have
reached new 1880 lows, while pig
iron. unchanged at $16.02 a ton,
is also at a 1890 low.

Of depression by Bartlett Arkell,
president, Breech-Nut Packing
Co., in an interview with Sturges
Dorrance, president, Dorrance,
Sullivan & Co., New York, here
today.
81 have always preached to
my associates the doctrine that
when times were hardest and
least prOpitiOus for ones buSi-
ness that was the time and
the opportunity for harder
work and for q more extended
viewpoint" declared President
AFkeII.
Harder work includes, most
naturally, harder and better
advertising, for advertising
works for You during the silent
hours Of business.
"There is convincing evidence
Of the value Of advertising
through good times as well as
bad in the history Of our COM
pany through the fact that the
products we have backed with
advertising have proven to be
the most successful Of the
many we manufacture; those
which have been just as well
made and which enjoy q
record for consistent goodness
equal to that, Of the more
highly advertised goods have
not met with anywhere near .

MOTHER FINDS COLORED ADS
REST KINDERGARTEN BOOKS

Modern publications carrying
highly colored advertisements and
are the best books
available for small children, even
under kindergarten age, according
to a, woman correspondent of Wom-
ans Home Companion, one OF the
leading examples of color printing.
In her experiment, the mother re-
lates, her three-year-old son has
learned from advertisements where
rice. tea, oranges and walnuts come
from: that raisins are made from
cranes and dried in the sun; that
cod liver oil comes from a part OF
fish. and he can tell something about
almost all of the other colored ad-
vertisements. He can pick out
battery, a radio or any other object
suggested by his mother, and tell
something about its use.
Another child, two years old, was
taught to select colors from the
pages and has learned to recognize
such figures as Indians, Rip Van
Wrinkle and other characters. AS a
next step the child is being taught
the origins of figures unfamiliar in
it's daily life.
Both children, says the mother,
eat various things from seeing chill
dren in the papers cat them, or be-
cause the foods look so good in the
pictures.
