UPSW|NG IN STEEL
TRADE IS STEADY
Operations Have Risen From
Ia Per Cent to al Per
Cent of Capacity.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
| NEW YORK, June 3.-The steel in
dustry, once described by the late An
drew Carnegie as either prince or
pauper," has made lot of progress out
Of its extreme indigency, though it is
still bit short of any regal state of
af1uence.
1t has been we'll in the front Of the
industrial recovery movement 1t has
| enjoyed substantial rebound from the
depths in which 1t wallowed through
the current year
The extent of the industrys recupera-
, ton may be measured by comparing the
current ingot output of Al per cent of
capacity as reported by the Iron Age
with the dreary range of IA to 20 per
cent under which the trade hobbled
along for seven or eight months pre-
ceding the upturn in April
Steel makers are encouraged because
the improvement since the turn has
been distinctly better than seasonal.
As a matter of fact, the gain has been
so sharp and rapid as to discourage
expectations Of its continuance at equal
speed. However, higher level Of steel
consumption and a further progress to-
ward the realm Of profits Is predict
able
Opinion in the trade is that renewed
demands from miscellaneous consumers,
fortified by well maintained sales to the
automobile industry and some pickup in
railroad and building requirements, will
help the industry in the Autumn and
aid nightly toward giving the COM
panies some real income over and above
their fixed charges and depreciation.
Signs of an awakening of interest on
the part of the railroads is especially
pleasing to the steel makers. Some re-
cent fair sized rail and equipment or
ders are regarded as preliminary step
toward general rehabilitation Of equip

GOLD MOVEMENTS
RESTRICT CREDITS
Sudden Shifting of Balances
Causes Hardships to
Trade.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 3.-Proposals tc
be made at the London Economic Con-
ference that the worlds gold be redis-
tributed through cooperation of cen
tral banks or through an internationa,
bank, direct attention to what has been
happening in the way Of gold move
ments in the last four or five years.
As one country after another left
the gold anchor, world prices were
bound to f1uctuate widely. 1t was the
absence of an international gold stand
ard that wrecked currency values In
many parts Of the world.
Wealth Transferred.
Unsettled economic and political con-
Germany, for example, as early as
1920-caused merchants and private in
dividuals to transfer their transportable
wealth, securities, cash, jewels, etc., to
foreign centers for Safekeeping.
1t was this sort of movement, even
previous to 1929, that greatly swelled
the size of short-term balances kept
abroad by their owners. In turn, this
flight of capital compelled some coun-
tries to go on a gold exchange stand
ard. These countries not being strong
enough in their own gold resources,
they anchored their currencies to coun-
tries strong in gold at that time. Many
currencies were tied to the pound
sterling. This meant that countries
that went on the gold exchange stand
ard had to create large balances abroad
in certain central banks. This only
narrowed the distribution Of gold over
the world and made the private citizens
of many countries more nervous about
their wealth, so they transferred it
when and where possible beyond their
national borders.
Credit Curtailed.
These foreign balances generally were
easily and readily shiftable. When
moved, for economic or political rea-
sons, on short notice, they were capable
of quickly changing the relative value
of currencies- s-sometimes even causing
the breakdown of the mechanism by
which transfers of international money
could be made.
Each sudden shift of international
balances has caused drastic curtailment
in credit in the country from which
the money was SO suddenly withdrawn
This narrowed the market for goods
sold to that country. 1t caused heavy
losses to legitimate trades. 1t ruined
spectators. 1t threw millions of men
and women out of work.

TODAY To DECIDE
VANDERBILT MATCH
Team of Watson Holds Scant
Lead of 400 Over Rem
don's Four.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, November 14.-The
classic Vanderbilt cup contract bridge
tournament was anybody's game today
as play swung into the final session.
Scarcely hair breadth separated the
two contending fours after the first
SO boards last night. The team of
l. H. Watson, A. NJ. Barnes, Richard
Frey and Sam Fry, jr. had only the
frail margin of 400 points.
Their opponents, Frank Rendon, Ben
tamin Feuer, Sam Rusinow and Phil
Abramsohn, had gone into the night
session with lead of $40 points after
36 boards in the afternoon. But Wat
son ct al managed TO eliminate this
and add the 400 additional points after
the most grueling sort of fight.
For the first time in the tournament
play was following the dope sheets. On
paper there is nothing to choose be-
tween the two, except, perhaps. the
more extensive experience of watson,
Barnes, Frey and Fry in high-presSure
competition.
Match Ends Today.
Balanced against this is the fact that
Rendon, Feuer, Rusinow and Abram-
sohn have played together regularly for
two years, though Rendon is the only
tournament veteran among them. All
except Feuer, lawyer, operate bridge
clubs.
The match ends today with 80 boards.
beginning at 1890 pm.

the following:

The bidding east and West always
pass: N, one spade; s., three spades;
N, four diamonds; S., five diamonds;
N, six spades.
Difficult PLAY.
The play was extremely difficult. A
heart lead was taken by Norths ace
Fry then played his spade ace, then
small spade, which East took with the
king. East led a club, which Fry took
with dummy's ace. Fry then led
heart, ruffing in North, returned to the
board with the spade knave. He led
another heart, which was ruffed, and
went TO the board with the diamond
ace, played his spade queen. throwing
off his last club and drawing East's
last trump. 1t was then a simple
matter Of returning to the closed hand
a-d running off his diamonds.
A close analysis of the hand shows
that If East fails to go up with the king
of trumps on the third play the little
slam contract must be defeated. In the
other room, as a matter of fact, Wat
son, at East, withheld his king and held
Abramson and Rusinow to 5. They had
bid only 4, however. All in all. it meant
a substantial swing for Fry and his
team.

NEW YORK, November IA. - AS the
merchants see it, the growing use Of
loud-speaker devices on Broadway is a
racket-defnition No. in the big book,
meaning "a Gathering, vociferous noise. !"
The Broadway Association sent to the
Board of Aldermen today a resolution
demanding enforcement of such laws as
may be necessary Ito end these obnox-
iouS and disturbing practices"
Although ballyhoo has always been
considered the very life's blood of Broad
way, it now appears that even Broad
way knows when it has had enough.
The Broadway Association feels that
the use of "amplifiers and other noise
making instruments by political parties,
spectacular advertisers and theatrical
promoters" constitutes "undignifled in
reference with business"
The association further feels that
these "squawking instruments, each at
tempting to outshout the other" create
IAN unfavorable impression upon Wis
itors"
What the merchants desire is less
ringing of the welkin and more ringing
of the cash register.

In the fall of 1857, the family
moved to Bristol township, and To-
Gated on what was known as the
Herbert Johnson farm. Mr.. and Mrs.
Argo sleep in the McConnelsville
cemetery. We note that the funeral
M. Kirk The sketch from which we
get this, states that the funeral SER
vices were held at Mt Zion, with
interment in the church cemetery.
This was true, and a monument was
erected Mrs. Argo was buried in
McConnelsville, then the remains of
Mr.. Argo were disinterred and TAX
en- there, also the monument, and
now only Alvin and his wife are left
in the township. The old farm is
now owned and occupied by Jacob
Perry and family. This farm joins
the Talley farm at Talleytown.
1t is said that drop of colored

will bear fruit. In the years to
come, when the generation then
living meet and greet each other
and talk over the early life of Bris-
tol township, and the "folk", they
will have heard of the acts of kind
ness, and they will see only the
deed and not the actor. Only few
people of past generations stand
out noticeable above the great
throng who have passed this way.

tury of Progress at Chicago, tells us
