we will get if this unemployment
keeps up and it should be that
way, there is lots oil people able
to pay yet over here before the
government starts in to do it it
self. That was what Mr.. Hoover
was doing out in Detroit telling
the American Legion not to start
asking for aid again. You see, he
believes in the people helping
themselves right up to the time
when that's not possible, then the
government will help.
Now there is lot to be said for
his plan. There is certainly enuf
wealth to do it. But getting it
away from the ones that have it
is another thing. When you rely
on just voluntary giving you put
quite a hardship on the free CIV
er. He will give till it hurts, while
a man of perhaps much larger re-
sources will give very little. So it
looks like they got to get at this
relief thing through taxation on
large incomes. But that will all be
fixed at the next session of Con-
gress, as five hundred Congress-
men and 100 Senators will all have
schemes to remedy everything
from depression to protruding
Adams Apples. It will take two
years to just read all the bills that
will be introduced when the Leg
islative Capones meet.

of territory and will make mighty
nice reperations after the thing is
over. You know you often hear it
said that nobody got anything af-
ter the war. But what about the
German Colonies? You don't see
England or France or any of those
giving any UP do you? Germany 1
imagine would mortgage quite a
lot to pay for them back. That's
one of the reasons that she is up
against it, she hasn't got those
colonies to transfer trade and raw
material with. China is so big and
the names are so much alike that
it is hard to tell where she is
fighting at.
Then England kicked up a mess
a week or ten days ago when they

THE DEACON AND THE FROG

A great many people we know remind
us of the frog that Charles F. Kettering,
chief research engineer of General Motors,
told about the other day.
A deacon was on his way to church one
Sunday morning, dressed in his best and with
his shoes nicely polished, when he heard his
name called from a mudhole near the road
side. Down in the hole was big bullfrog
Il have been in here three days" said the
frog, without anything to eat. and wish
you would help me out"
The deacon looked at the mud and looked
at his shiny shoes and remembered that he
had to pass the collection plate in church,
so he replied, I'm sorry, old man, I can't
help you now, but on my way back from
church I'll give you a lift out of the hole
AS he came back from church the deacon
was surprised to find the frog sitting in the
middle of the road, contentedly swapping at
flies.
Il thought you said you couldn't get out
of that hole" said the deacon.
Il thought couldn't either, until snake
came along and / just had to get out" re-
piled the frog
Lots of people are discovering these days
that they can do things they didn't think
they could do. Under the pressure of neces-
sity every one of us can accomplish the i'm
possible. In good times nobody uses more
than fraction of his ability and resourceful-

ness. But when the snake of hard times
along we just have to get out of the hole, and
like the frog in Mr.. Kettering's story, we
find some way to do what we didn't believe
we could do.
It is good thing for humanity that life
is not always pleasant and easy. Intelligence,
ability and character are only developed to
their best in the face of adversely. And the
harder the struggle, the more fun there is in
looking back on it after the peak has been
passed.

STEEL PRODUCTION
|. SLIGHTLY REDUCED
Present Rate Estimated at
20 Per Cent of Capacity.
Orders Are Small.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


PITTSBURGH, october 5.-Fair and
conservative estimates would put the
rate of steel ingot production at about
% per cent of capacity for each Of the
last three weeks, following 20 per
cent rate.
There are no specific reports from
any important district that would JUS
tify putting this weeks average mate
rally above or below that of last week
or week before. Nearly all steel orders
are rush. but they are very small ndl-
vidually and tend to average up.
Apart from such orders, there arc
large orders for line pipe. production
being regulated by speed of laying. and
plain shapes to be shipped to Struc-
tural fabricating shops, chiefly for large
jobs, and weekly variations are small.
These two classes ara in line for sea
sonal decrease, line pipe very shortll
There are some large Government jobs
which may become active in time to
arrest the structural decrease.
Fabricated structural steel lettings
in the last five weeks have averaged
about double the general rate OF the
year and much more than double 0the
rate from early June until late August.
Recent lettings include $4,000 tons 1or
the New Orleans Bridge. 1000 tons Tor
the Inland Terminal Warehouse, New
York; 48.20o tons for the Chicago Post
Office and $4,000 tons for the New
York Parcels Post Building. The rec
ord year in fabricated structural steel
shipments was 1929, with 3,306,7 65 tons.
and this activity held up so much pet
ter than many other things that Ship
ments in 1880 were 1887 200 tons, rep
resenting only 9 per cent decrease.
In steel the depreciation OF the
Canadian dollar is much more ln1por-
tant than the depreciation OF the pound
sterling, although in percentage 1t seems
to have run only about two-th1rds as
much, for Canada has been a very
large export market for steel. August
figures, Just announced, show that Al
per cent of iron and steel exports went
to Canada. -.
Steel production has been declining
since March, and it is reasonably GER
tain it will continue to decline to the
end of the year, since the time for
Autumn improvement to show itself Is
past and the usual seasonal influence
in the other direction will soon be en-
countered. The upward and down
ward swings have occurred in such
manner that steel production was be-
tween S and 10 per cent lower in sec
ond than first quarter, and then de-
creased close to 80 per cent from sec
ond to third quarter, while the fourth
quarter is likely to register further
decline Of IS to 20 per cent.
