BACK HOME

Across the cosey bungalow of Adrian Mulloy l catch view of country scenes that fill my heart with joy. The hills that run to Watertown are sorto sleepin' there; And supin kindo countrified puts magic in the air; And then my native York State lies beyond much farther vest And mebby that's the reason why like that scene the best; Cause when the Fates have driven you about the world to roam, Your feens like to git away and lose theirselves back home. Across the cosey bungalow watch the sun go down: A purple haze is on the hills that circle WatertoWn; Far westward are my native hills transfigured in the blaze With all ghostly memories and dreams of other days Across my little valley town l know the shadows creep And there where Mother and the rest are sleeping their last sleep Yes there, when God Almighty wills and I have ceased to roam My native river flowing by l. too shall rest back home

SLOWER PACE SET
AT STEEL PLANTS
Consumer Demand Eases
Moderately as Prices
Remain Steady.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December l1.-A
moderate decline in the rate of steel
production for the current week re-
fleets a relaxation of consumer pres
sure for material following reafrm-
alton of most existing prices fo- the
first quarter, said Iron Age today in
its weekly review.
The current operating level was
placed at Sc per cent. decline of one
point from the previous week.
AS against the recession in pro-
duction, there was firming trend in
prices for scrap steel, the review
declared. The publications index of
scrap rose from $1325 to $13.42 a
ton, the highest level reached since
September, 1880.
Shipments Spread Out.
Few steel buyers" the summary
commented, actually accumulated
large stocks, but most users had
entered heavy commitments for De-
cember delivery and these have been
revised to spread shipments through
the coming quarter.
Relieved of the necessity of stock
ing finished steel against higher prices,
many in the trade, especially jobbers,
are reverting to the customary prac-
tic of pairing inventories as the
year-end approaches.
"The reaction on mill schedules, as
far as flat-rolled products are con-
cerned, has been cushioned by the
large day-to-day requirements Of the
automobile industry, which is oper-
ating at a high rate following Fall
introduction Of new models.
THE heavy requirements Of motor
car makers are also reflected in liberal
hrst-quarter contracting in pig iron
by automotive foundries.
Finished Orders Gain.
"In the face Of less pressing, albeit
still sizable demands on finishing
mills, the industrys operations are
benefiting from heavy anticipatory
orders for semi finished steel, the
prices of which did advance. SINH
larly there has been an acceleratior
of the output of the new finished
items that were marked up in price
These counteracting influences
together with the general trend oi
consumption, will, among them, deter
mine the course of steel production
during the remainder of the month
THE strength in scrap suggests
that further increases in steel out
put are in sight"
