OPTIMISM IN
BIG PORTIONS
Things Looking Better Weekly
In All Branches of Iron and
Steel Industry.
{ From Skillings' Review

Expansion continues at good rate
in the iron and steel industry. On
Wednesday Iron Age reported AGO of
ingot capacity active which compares
with Al % on the same day one week
previous. There was no sign of con-
traction in finished steel June booking
will, it is estimated, be larger than in
May
Some buying has begun to develop
in heavy steel products, which have
Jagged behind lighter products. Rail-
roads are figuring on structural re-
quirements, and this week the Great
Western placed an order with the
Pullman Company for 500 steel box
cars. This news is opportune, in the
steel car building industry With steel
operations nearing 500 capacity, the
entrance of the railroads and building
industries should give steel pronounced
new momentum.
Pig iron production and shipments
are increasing, which Is encouraging
news for the iron ore industry If the
upturn continues. May business was
larger than anticipated.
The optimism now so prevalent in the
steel industry Is spreading to the IRON
mining districts of Lake Superior. The
shipments this season will depend
largely upon the outlook for steel 80 and
60 days from now. Estimates now
range about 100000 tons. It looks
now as if the last half OF the season
of navigation may witness a compare
lively brisk movement of iron ore.
Production of tin plate in the u. 8.
in May totaled $4,000 tons, which
compares with $4,000 in April, and was
the heaviest month in three years. Tin
plate is at 800 of capacity.
New York Central Railroad has placed
an order for 1000 tons steel rails, 5000
with the United States Steel Corpora
ton and 1000 with Bethlehem.
Production of pig iron in May in the
United States totaled SOC. 725 gross tons,
which compares with 623 ,606 tons in
April, and was the largest monthly out
put since March, 1882. Thirteen blast
furnaces were blown in during May.
Ten were blown in during April AS of
May 81, there were 81 blast furnaces
operating, the largest number since
February, 1892.

Looking OUer the Camps.

Mayor Barker, Bert Pearson and A.
Milavetz of Virginia were in the city
Friday and visited the c. G. G. camps
on the Ely-Buyck road. The gentlemen
had come on the request of several
Virginia young men who were registered
for work but had been somewhat dis
couraged by reports of conditions at
the camps made by couple who had
deserted and returned to Virginia. We
have not ascertained the nature of the
report made by them.

More Leases Dropped.

Interstate Iron Company has dropped
the lease of the South Agnew iron
mine, and Pickands, Mather & Co., has
dropped the lease of the Utica Extern
sion, both in the Hibbing district of the
Mesabi range, says Skillings' Mining
Review. It is understood that the ac-
ton in each instance is a continuation
of the policy of the Lake Superior iron
mining companies Of letting go of high
cost properties, with excessive taxes the
last straw.

A news item states that
Governor Olson, although con-
valescing from an appended
tony, will dedicate the Mime
sofa exhibit at Chicago next
Wednesday with appropriate
ceremonies. The item further
states that the Governor will be
accompanied by an 85-year old
Chippewa Indian chief, All Je
Dunn 0, who has lived among
the whites all his life yet knows
no word of English. From the
description given of All Je Dunn
0, we are inclined to think that
the letter "x" was inadvertent-
ly omitted from the latter end
of the name.

On This
Occasion
Just q few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

Jesse H. Jones, chairman OF
the R. F. G.. has taken a stand
of refusal of loans to railroads
that are paying enormous
salaries to its officers. He laid
down a scale for the Southern
Pacific where especially choice
salaries are paid and which
company applied for a loan
He advocated an adjustment OF
salaries on a basis as follows
60 per cent cut for all salaries
of $4,000 or more; SO pei
cent for salaries from 100000
to 100000; 40 per cent from
$4,000 to $5O,OOO; Is per cent
from $4,000 to $4,000 and
at least 10 per cent on salaries
from $4,000 to $4,000. After
that was done, the application
for a loan might be considered.
This Jones fellow has the
right bunch. Paying presidents
of a railroad 100000 a year
and then having the govern
ment loan the same company
millions in order to keep it
out of the hands of a receiver
is not good business. When
anyone is paid a salary of such
proportions, he should be able
to make a business pay for it.
self or take a salary for what
he is worth to the business. No
man earns a salary of such pro-
portions and in these times
such figures divided by ten or
fifteen would tend to keep the
business off the rocks and still
pay such an executive plenty.
1t must be admitted that not
all are born with the same
amount of general ability. 1t is
only fair that people who can
produce the greatest results in
any line of work should be paid
accordingly. Exceptional abil-
ity and skill should be re-
warded providing the ability
and skill is of benefit to the in
stitutions paying them. When
any business is conducted for
the sole purpose of paying high
salaries to the executives at the
expense of the stockholders or
the owners, such a business is
doomed for the scrap heap and
the R. F. C. or any other body
cannot save it.

RUSSIANS PLAN
 STRAT0SPHER!C ATTEMPT. SOON
Specially Designed Balloon Will Make Effort to Ascend 6 to B Miles

LENINGRAD, Aug. 3O.-Soviet aviation's first venture into the stratosphere is scheduled to be made within the next few weeks in a specially constructed balloon designed for an ascent of from six to 13 miles. #
 Three U possibly four -- of the country's leading aerologists in tend to set out on a voyage into the upper reaches of the atmos- pnere before the summer ends on what is contemplated as the first of a series of such flights for scientific observation N A
 Their primary purpose is to study the cosmic rays, electro-nag- netic phenomena and the psy- chological influence of great height on human beings. But they also hope to better the record of Prof. Auguste Picard, who on his sec ond ascension reached a height of more than 5000 feet lss T k The first test flight of the bal loon, constructed in the Air In- stitute's factories here along the general lines of Picard's craft, was pronounced satisfactory by the constructor, M Vasenko and B. Fedoseienko, the chief pilot, although it was allowed to climb only 3,1O0 meters during it's al most IA hours in the air. It was brought down safely some 30 miles from Lenfngrad, it's starting point.
 Molchanov Likely Commander
 Both vanssnko and Fedoselen- kho probably will make the first flight Prof D. Molchanov, di- rector of the institute and organ izer of the ascension. likely will be in command. Whether the flight will be started from Len ingrad or from Moscow will de- pend on weather conditions.
 The balloon, designed by En- gineer I. Chertovsky, was more than year in construction and only Soviet materials and equip ment were used. The envelope is made of a special rubberized fabric to which paint compound has been applied to make it im- pervious to the suns heat. It has a capacity of 10000 cubic me- tsrs of hydrogen gas
 Basket Type Suspension
 The cabin is constructed of non- magnetic rustless steel and can accommodate four men for min- imum of 12 hours It is slung in what resembles a basket, the bottom of which is fitted with a shock k-absorbing device to soften the impact of landing. Port holes fitted with non-sweating and non-freezing glass Y four around the sides, one in the top and one in the floor-provide the means of observation and photo graphy.
 The crew will receive necessary aid from a liquid oxygen apparat us within the sealed cabin, which also will have powerful short wave radio transmission and re- ceiving set.

He hits the down grade and changes com pletely, his association with shady characters leading to the develop ment of a 4legal-loophole7 prac- tice. t. ss
 The large cast includes Sidney Fox, tiny star of Strictly Dis-i honorable" in the leading femi- nine role, that of Celia Forsday, the young stenographer with whom William falls in love and, as a result, is regenerated. Almost of equal importance is Aline Mac Mahon, an expert in cynical roles, who plays Williams secretary, a portrayal similar to that of Ed ward G.
