DEMAND FOR STEEL
CONTINUES TO GAIN
iron Age Review Indicates
Industry Is Holding Its Own.
Increase Rapid.
~ III. Associated Press.


NEW YORK, February 1l.-Steel de-
nland, after rebounding sharply in jan
uary, is not only holding its own, but,
in the aggregate, has shown a further
slight gain, Iron Age says in its weekly
summary of the iron and steel indus
try. The most recent expansion of bus
mess, however, it adds, has not been
shared in by all producers
Whereas steel ingot output at Chi
cago has risen to 90 per cent of (rated)
capacity. however" the summary states,
Eat Pittsburgh it remains at rs per cent
and in the Youngstown district has de-
clined a few points. The average for
the country at large has advanced TO 70
per cent. compared with nearly n per
cent q week ago.
Rail releases help account for the
high rate of production in the Chicago
district. One Lake Michigan rail mill is
now running full and the other will
reach capacity operations by the end OF
the month. Bookings in other products
are also large. with deliveries on plates,
shapes and bars now ranging from four
TO six weeks. Last months specifica tons
for soft steel bars at Chicago were is
per cent larger than in January, 1929.
THE outlook in heavier rolled prod
nets is generally favorable, thanks to
railroad equipment purchases and struc-
tural steel awards. The Van Sweringen
lines have placed 1880 freight cars in
the last fortnight and may soon pur-
chase $500 additional. Fabricated steel
lettings were in heavy volume for the
third week, totaling $4,000 tons, COM
pared with $4,000 tons last week and
$4,000 tons two weeks ago. Electrified
lion work for the Pennsylvania Railroad,
10000 tons, and a New York subway
section, $500 tons, were conspicuous
Smong the current contracts.
Chicago mills look for the early re-
lease of 100 900 tons of plates for gas
line pipe contract placed last Fall.
Among prospective pipe projects is a
500-mile line to be built in Northwestern
Texas by the South Plains Pipe Line Co.,

DISTRICT BILLS
ARE DUE TODAY

Hearings on two important but
widely different local bills were to
start late today before the Senate
District Committee. Each meas
ure bears the name of Senator Ar
thur Capper (R.) Kansas, commit
tee chairman.
1t was expected the committee
1irSt would consider the proposal
OF Senator Capper that the Fed
eral Government make a loan Of
10000, 900 to the District govern
ment for construction of a NUM-
clpal center, which is part of the
building program now under way
IN the Capital. Senator Capper
has invited expressions from civic
organizations and individuals con-
corning this proposed loan, which
would bear interest at 312 per
cent.
The Chamber of Commerce has
withheld its approval, temporarily,
at least. Opinion expressed in the
chamber was that present accom-
modations for the District are rea-
Sonably adequate, and a large loan
from the Government might be-
come a drain upon District re-
sources.
The Board of Trade is yet to
act, but the Federation of Citi-
zens Associations has Endorsed the
Capper bill, with proviso that the
loan be made without interest.
The association went further and
suggested a Federal loan of $685.
100000 for full cost of the Munich
pal Center.
The Senate committee was also
expected to reach the Capper bill

BERLIN, March 6.-The last

Within the next week the

An important factor leading to

social problem is to America.
A place has been found for Miss
Megau Lloyd Georges hat.
Members of parliament, by right

can park their toppers on the house

George, who is a member of parlia-

feminine headgear in any such
dangerous spot. She appealed TO

Retreat" from a standpoint OF
writing, ranks right along with All
Quiet on the Western Front" and in
nv opinion excells Journeys End"
But it Is not the great style OF the
author which will be discussed out
it will be the subject matter.
This young English priest went 10
war as a chaplain. He had great
faith, he was well trained and ne
was a clean man. He did not Klo"
( life nor did he know war.
/ And SO we see this frail, intel
Iigent man buck war with sucn a
bang that he fails utterly to bring
God into the trenches. Even the
fighting men developed contempt
for his weakness of character.
And yet when he becomes mad
with war. when he is so suspicious
that the entire army is trying to
cast him aside and when he realizes
his own personal failure to meet the
demands of the actual fighting man,
the soldiers do not condemn the
church for the failure of one OF its
ministers.
Some Of the officers knew the
what sort of hell" the chaplain
lived in when he saw nothing but
death around him.
He was told by ore of the officers
( that the men did not blame him Tor
his failure as chaplain any more
than they would condemn the
church as a failure on the basis OF
one mans failure.
I believe that "Retreat" brings &C
tuaI war nearer to the printed page

dramatic as Journeys End" but IL

novel of the year. do that in race
of knowledge that this book will be
cussed and discussed as an attack
upon the clergy.
1t certainly is no pretty picture OF
chaplain that we have in this
novel. 1t is the story of the failure
of a minister among men.
Could any minister succeed IN
bringing the glory of God in any war
to men facing death? I believe the
author asks that question many
times.
Here is war, naked and deathly.

CHICAGO, March 6.-For the
second time within a month, the
rournal of the American Medical
lssociation has warned physicians
nd the public not to place undue
18th in new methods Of treating
ancer by glandular extracts, such
that recently announced by Drs-
Y. B. Coffey and J. d. Humber OF
an Francisco.
Drs. Coffey and Humber them
Ives have insisted that their work
i'll is in the experimental stage.
We do not claim to treat or cure

the American Medical Associa-
on.

eloped n method which uses a

estigation carried out in the
laboratory. So far, 1 have not
treated patients and do not intend
20 do so in the future" DR.. Sokol-
off has reported to the American
Medical Association.
Two other investigators have re-
lorted to the American Medical AS
Ociation experiments with methods
Of treating cancer. DR.. G. F. Charl-
ton of Pasadena, Cal, has found a
way to destroy cancer cells with adj
ministration of extract from the
Omentum. a membrane which goes
from the stomach to adjacent or
cans.
Gets Similar Results
DR.. Adolph NJ. Hanson of Fair
Dault, MINI, announced similar re-
suits using an extract from the
thymus gland. Many other manu-
scripts describing the use of gland
ular extracts or tissues in the treat
ment of cancer have been received
b. the American Medical Associa-
ton since the Coffev- Humber
method has been made public.
Without criticising the work of
any of these investigators. the edi-
tors OF the associations journal
point out that modern discoveries
are the results Of the accumulation
of Investigations over a series of
years pointing toward a definite

reached and the success of the

seek immediate practical applica-
