STEEL INDUSTRY HOPES
FOR REVIVAL IN APRIL
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, March 30.-The steel
industry has not lost hope for revival
Of demand in April, despite a further
decline in steel ingot production. the
trade summary.
This expectation" the Review states,
"is strengthened by the announcement
of a public showing of the new Ford
automobiles on Thursday, the appear
ance of the new Plymouth car on Sat-
urday, and the inauguration on the
same day of country wide sales drive
by General Motors The test of retail
demand for motor cars will come in
the next week, and if even moderately
successful will have an almost immedi-
ate reflection on automobile manufac-
turing schedules and on steel mill
operations"
Ingot output has declined this week
to about % per cent of capacity against
rs per cent last week. There has been
sharp falling off at Cleveland, where
one plant has shut down all of its
open-hearth furnaces, and lesser de-
creases have occurred in the valleys
and at Pittsburgh and Chicago.
The Review continues "Notwith-
standing that the steel-making rate
has not been so low during the entire
depression, except for a brief period
last December, the steel industry be-
ieves that this is the zero hour and
that new business, principally from the
automobile industry, but to some ex-
tent from other sources, will lift oper-
ations appreciably during the next fort
night"

Of time yol can hold your breath, or

Opera singers have so trained their
lungs or breathing apparatus that they

can soon learn to hold his breath for
a minute or more, by brisk walking

the strong heart and the strong lungs

Physicians are now making use OF
this simple test of holding the breath
in estimating the condition Of the heart
and blood pressure, and also in severe
cases of thyroid trouble or goiter.
In all these conditions, the length
OF time the breath can be held is less
than in normal individuals. The physi-
clan thus males a test and then advises
certain trea, ment, rest III some cases,
less food in others, omitting certain
acid foods in others. After some weeks

Everyday Psychology

Excitement.

There is a widespread notion that
excitement should be avoided The
facts about excitement are somewhat
as follows: The person who is nom
exciteable Is only partly alive. In other
words. a person is alive to his surround
ings If these surroundings arouse his
interest and Imagination Life is q.
constant flow of ups and downs on the
emotional scale. Life becomes unoear-
able If there is no fluc:uation. This
very fact creates the stage and the
screen, explains lot Of the usages Of
the automobile, keeps horses on the race
tracks.
While anything may be carried to ex-
tremes. 1t Is no mistake to say that
excitement tends to keep one young and
to promote health. Given my choice OF
q peaceful life without excitement or
one with some troubles and worries and
excitement. 1 would not hesitate, in the
interest Of nealth and general happi-
ness, to choose the latter. AS an old
proverb says, Nothing is harder to bear
than a succession OF happy days
Excitement is the soul Of that occu-
patton called living. What We call the
beautiful is nothing other than a change
in colors proportions and achievements
What We call ugly is beauty without
change.
The focal point of life is change Any
sort of change Is stimulus. Any sort
Of response is an adjustment. Excite
ment is the timekeeper of life.

Nesting Dates.

TINE nesting dates Of birds are still

only lack Of information

much variation in nesting dates
is far more mysterious. Thus the
English sparrow has been seen carrying
straws in February. while the goldfnch
Is only now getting around to the busi-
ness of home and family. Presumably
that means late courtship.
Perhaps, you say. they arrived late in
migration. But they are permanent
residents; their migrations hereabouts
are more desultory than grackle
f1ock's migrations. They may, perhaps
move out of snow-covered districts for
few days into fields where the weed
seeds they love are still exposed in Win
ter fields. 1t Is only in Canada and
the Northern States that the goldfinch
can be considered a migrant.
AS soon as a little fine weather comes
in Spring the goldfinch gentlemen put
of their Winter coats and appear in
the gorgeous courting costume Of gam
boge yellow with crown, wings and tail
black, the upper and under tan-covers
wing and tail-markings white. One
would naturally assume that the olive
brown female would succumb at once to
such charms, to which is added the
goldf1nch's cheerful, warbly song. But
she holds her suitor in suspense for
her yes" or mo" for months, appar-
emily. since it is only now that she is
engaged in nesting and brooding cares

often sings as he flys, a feat that al
most no other birds even attempt. Try
singing while you're dancing or running

birds utter war-whoop as they make

crows telegraph their news while flap

who heard him or to be looking out for
enemies. His eyes were dull and he
didn't look around at all He had ears

to have for his nose was to follow it.
