COMMUNICATION

Today is Sunday, the 12th of July 1881. I say this because Nature is beaming it's most excep- tional and glorious beauty in Sew ard. Alaska. Nowhere else, when mere existence is considered, could it bring milder sooth and comfort. Of the landscape in de- tail I shall not talk here, because in spite of it am sad, even morose, pining to give such feel ings expression.
 Yesterday I had one of my many dsappointments of old age. I lost perhaps my last chance, when sorely needed, to make an honest dollar.
 As I mediate I pick up the "World's Work" On the inside cover a full page advertisement of the Prudential Insurance Com pany of America catches my eye. Its artistical merits are indeed striking. An old man is presented with two heavy walking canes, which he evidently needs to steady his faltering legs. Above looms the inscription: "The misery of an old man is of interest to nobody" below, Life insurance will help you in your old age-if you keep lyour policy in force"
 At a glance, thought flashes through my brains. The very spark of human life commercial ized! The picture is a warming. It calls up before your conscious ness a very unfortunate man, that has seen better days, now fore lorn and hopeless. How he has managed to look as respectable as he does, the picture does not tell. Of course, he has no insurance policy. The terrible indignities he has been through might easily be imagined, as life now presents it. self. The picture plainly suggests, that his friends left him, and that there is no help except through insurance. Human selfiShness makes this claim pretty night right.
 Charity is an insult to any man. ly heart. The toleration of philan- thropy, that of a private Red Cross included in all it's activities, should have been suppressed long ago. It is the last song of a de- caying social system, full of graft and injustices. What civilization needs is a sense of duty to make the old worker feel that he de- serves to live. As it is now, an old man without means, not willing to stand for all the indignities society sees fit to subject him to, has no other resources than to die. " Ao C. GN44O1 CO lilCU1CdC6 upon these conditions.
 A carefree old age, as Cicero had 1t, should be the happiest period Of our lives, full of meditation and wisdom. When our present social system dies, old age will be looked after.
 The Alaska Legislature funds always seeming short, is a scream of a cruelty to the old pioneer, as l layed before the public a few days ago.
 would like to live to see the new hopes come true. My hopes are favored by France. She is do- ing exceedingly we'll. Just let her go to it for a while and we shall see the wonders. No fear any warning is taken.

1000 GETS STEEL
MILL JOBS

The anticipated upturn in the
steel business became evident to-
day when it was announced that
1000 men are soon to be employed
in the Monongahela district.
AS the result of a huge order
for rails, the Edgar Thomson Steel
Works Of the Carnegie Steel Com.
parry, at Braddock, will open on
November 1. giving employment
to 5000 men.
1t is expected that 1000 more
will be put to work within the
next 80 days at the plant of the
Homestead Steel Works, also a
Carnegie plant. The Carnegie
company recently booked orders
fol 1851 900 tons of plate for New
York's new Radio City, and the
Homestead plant will turn out
this work.

manufacturers disclosed they are
expecting improved business with
the revival of activity in the auto

SAVINGS BANKS
GAINS CITED

The number of depositors and
the amount of savings deposits
have increased year by year for
more than 20 years, with the ex-
ception of 1929, and the total of
savings deposits in American
banks is almost twice the amount
of our entire national debt, 1t
was declared last night in an
address on the Halsey, Stuart &
Co., radio program by Howard
Biddulph, president of the Ma
tional Association of Mutual Saw
ings Banks, which recently met
here.
More than $4,000, 900 people in
this country, he said, have saw
ingS accounts in banks, or more
than half the entire population
above the age of ten. The total
volume of savings deposits is more
than $29, ,000,0 100000. Never be-
fore in any country has so large
a sum of money been placed by
so many different people in a.
sinple form of investment.
Mr.. Biddulph called attention
to the investment methods of
mutual savings banks and their
value as a guide to the individual
investor.

Emil Francqui, Belgian finan-

foreign capital in Germany when

American bankers have approx
mately $500, ,00O,0OO invested in
German short term credits, and
France has the larger part OF
the balance.
The Francqui plan is designed
to prevent another crisis in Ger

Building Costs Declining
Faster Than Rents
CONTRACTS FOR NINE MONTHS

Although the outlook ror the
building industry is not good for
the immediate future, the large
reduction in building costs TAX
ing place, offers a favorable fac
tor, it is pointed out by the
Brookmire Economic Service, Inc,
which states that, after allowing
for the concessions in rent that
are obtainable in many parts Of
the country, costs would still ap.
pear to be declining faster than
rents.
If this condition continues, it
is said, prospects for revival Of
new building should be brighter
next year in some divisions
notably residential, even though
the down trend in public and en-
gineering construction may con
tinue for some time. The service

BY w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Oct. 20 UN.SJ
Moderate recoveries in the rail.
road stocks and narrow reactions
in the industrial and utilities
were the principal features Of a
dull and quiet market this morn
ing.
An accumulation of overnight
selling orders carried most Of the
favoriteS to lower price levels, with
losses extending from a fraction
to 21s points.
Dip and Then Rise
Before the end Of the first hour
United States Steel had fallen off
about a point to 63A, while Am
erican Tobacco B was off 2A at
8634, and Auburn Auto down 2A,
but most of these losses were made
made up by noon.
The better tone in the railroad
shares was the result Of a more
hopeful feeling with respect to an
increase in traffic in the final
quarter as we'll as the generally
beneficial effects of the pooling
Of the freight rate rise.
New York Central rallied 1h2
points to 49h; Chesapeake and
Ohio gained a point. and Penn
sylvania sold under 100 for O
loss of 2A points.
At best the market was a dull
and professional affair, with a
handful of the favorites swing
ing backward and forward.
New Bethlehem Low
Bethlehem Steel was unsettled
by uncertainty with respect to
the dividend action Of the direc-
tors at their meeting this after
noon. The stock dipped under
% for O new low, but rallied to
23K. American Can was in good
call around 80 and American
Telephone and Telegraph at 1874.
Cotton fell off about 10 points

Wheat sold fractionally higher.
