NEW YORK, December 3l-The
steel industry continues dominated by
holiday influences, and ingot produc-
ton has fallen to estimated average Of
471a per cent compared with 49, per
cent in the previous week, Iron Age
said today in its weekly review.
Against the further decline in raw
steel production the output of finished
materials has shown some recovery
from the low rates of week ago. it
was stated
I'm finished products long delayed
price advances may materialize early
in January, according to latest reports.
Sheets, strip steel and wire products
are said to be due for upward revision
An advance of So on cold-finished bars,
announced some time ago, goes into ef-
feet January l.
Price irregularities have not disap-
peared, though they are limited mainly
to reinforcing bars.
"Automotive consumption Of steel
has been adversely affected by holiday
suspensions, which have ranged from
one day to eight days duration. jan
uary schedules, however, point to a
resumption of motor car output on an
undiminished scale, with assemblies
for the month estimated at 100000
units.
Railroad buying continues to eX-
pand. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe has ordered $4,000 tons of rails
The st. Louis San Francisco has
placed 1880 tons of 112-pound rails

PARIS BANK CUTS
DISCOUNT RATE
Reduction to 5 Per Cent
Follows Halt in Long
Gold Outflow.
Ry the Associated Press.


PARIS, December 31.-The Bank
of France lowered its discount rate
today from 6 to per cent.
Premier Pierre Laval's Chamber OF
Deputies triumphs and the end of
the long series of French gold losses
caused the bank to cut the discount
rate.
At the same time the rate Of ad-
vances on securities was lowered from
Z to per cent.
The heavy burden Of high inter-
est rates for industrial and CONNER
cial loans. which followed the earlier
rise in the discount rate to halt the
drain of gold a month ago, caused
the bank to lower the rate as soon
as it felt conditions warranted.
The rate of advances on gold bars
was left unchanged at per cenb
as a precaution against renewed
flight OF gold. The rate for 30-day
advances was reduced from 6 to 5
per cent.
Laval's victory over parliamentary
obstacles on Ethiopian policy,
semi military leagues and his stand
against devaluation. which assured
voting on balanced 1886 budget be-
fore January / were regarded in A.
nancial quarters as responsible for the
banks action.
The danger of the franc slipping be-
cause of the cabinet crisis and budget
uncertainty was considered averted, at
least for the time being.
At the same time a year-end in
ventory of Frances financial status
showed losses in almost all major
indices.
At the end of 1884 the discount rate
was 2l2 per cent and the Bank of
France had $4,000, 100000 francs
(about s5,7OO,000, ,OO0), as compared
with 66.O0o,OOO.00O francs (around
$4,600,000 ,000) today
Three per cent rentes dropped from
80 to 70 francs and exports, which
were 3.44l 100000 francs (around
$240, 900 000) for the first II months
Of 1884 were off to 3,l57.000 ,OC0 francs
(about 1920, 900 ,000) for 1885.

Lie Detector" Taps Skin
New Invention Checks Up on Electric
Currents in Body.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
"a yEW YORK. April 27.-Newest
N of all the lie detectors" is the
electric current of few thou
1 Y sandths of volt which flows
in the skin called the psyche
galvanic reflex.
While there are indications that
body electric currents may some day
be used to read thought, the currents
now known are undecipherable when
taken by themselves.
But in connection with other signs
of emotion they have some meaning.
For this reason Leonardo Keeler Of the
scientific crime detection laboratory,
Northwestern University. has added
the electrical instruments to his latest
model lie detector.'
The other. better known emotional
signals which this detector registers
are respiration, blood pressure and
pulse. Prof. Keeler insists that this
instrument. which he calls the poly
graph. is not lie detector."
So his polygraph records emotional
symptoms, of health, disease, mental
upsets and skilled person may dag
nose some of these symptoms as pos
sible lies.
The riot of meanings flowing in
persons electrical skin currents is de-
scribed by Prof. Louis William Max
of New York University. These cur
rents may be read by dipping two fin
gers in two cups. each containing an
electrically conducting liquid. Or sill
yer coins may be placed on palm and
back of the hand, with wires attached
The readings are either the voltage of
current flowing normally through the
skin, or skin resistance to the current.
A sudden loud question will show
in a change of resistance. A bright
light flashing on registers similarly.
Evening star., 1935-04-28

Even a deep sigh of relief shows in
this skin current.
The trouble at present is that a
sign Of innocence makes Just as much
electrical change as breath catching
IN guilt.
The skin currents appear to be con-
nected with the autonomic nervous
system. This system controls the ris-
ing of the hair of the head in fear,
goose flesh, digestive action, the endo-
crime glands, and the action of the
smooth muscles such as force the blood
along the veins.
Therefore the psycho-galvanic cur
rent appears to indicate physical, per-
haps emotional, conditions beyond the
individuals control.

AUTO INDUSTRY PLANTS
TO TAKE PEAKS IN 1885

The expansion OF automobile
sales, which started in 1888 and
gained momentum rapidly in
1884, has become more accentu-
ated at the start of 1885.
New records have been cstab-
lished for the attendance at the
various automobile shows with
orders in many cities totaling
twice those Of year ago, and
insistences on immediate deliv-
cry general.
After attaining the most phe-
nomenal recovery registered for
any industry in 1884, with vol.
ume 45 pr cent higher than
that of 1888, and nearly leo per
cent In excess of the 1882 figures,
conservative estimates place
sales for 1885 at. 20 to % per
cent larger than last years.

COOPERATIVE MANAGE
MEhT MUST BE GOOD

There is much more TO the job
OF administering an agricultural
cooperative than is generally re-
ahzed. Any worth while coop
erative program, for example
must includes such complicated
factors as adoption Of produc-
ton TO market requirements
reduction OF production cot so
that farmers may increase prof
its even with the selling prices
OF their produc remain station.
ary Standardization OF products
and handling methods in the
interest OF advancing routine
efficiency and outlawing waste; /;
regulation OF the distribution
methods
Equally important is another
and less known work that Is es-
sential to cooperative progress
| A thousand and one national
and international problems al
feet the farmer. Questions OF
tariffs, OF monetary standards,
Of foreign trade. agreements, Of
embargoes and quota restric-
tions all come home to roost
on the farm doorstep. Cooper
alive executives must have a
wealth of knowledge at ther I'm
ger tips and their training
must have fitted them for iniell-
igently dealing with a multitude
OF diverse issues. Again, they
must be able 10 present facts
and information concerning
trends TO their members, who
look to them for guidance and
leadership guidance and lead
ership which grows in import
ance during periods OF economic
stress.
The calibre OF the executives
OF the great farm co-ops is fully
comparable TO that Of any busi-
ness institution. The success
the co-ops have won in the face
OF adversely is directly traceable
to tnat fact.

THE COPPER TARIFF
MAY BE EXTENDED

1t is expected that the present
protection afforded by the 4
cents-a- pound tariff will be ex-
tended after il expires in June.
And that the y r \ code gov
erlng the copper industry will
be retained after June, the pres
ent date of its expiration.
This may be considere the
result of the nationwide cam
paign which has been waged by
Governor Moeur, the Arizona
delegation in congress and the
Arizona Copper Tariff Board
for the past two years and which
is now being intensified.
The general outlook for do
nestle copper seems brighter
Domestic sales of copper in Jan.
totaled around 81 900, 900 lbs
the largest in any month since
June, 1884, and nearly double
the amount sold last December
Developments calculated to
have bearing on the future OF
domestic copper are scheduled
for the next six months. An
international conference on cop
per is to be held at which a seri-
Gus attempt will be made to
arrive at an agreement limiting
world production, principle fac
tor in the discouraging statisti-
cal position of that metal.
While the output in the United
States during 1884 showed only
"a moderate increase over the
preceding year, production in
other parts Of the world was
equal to that of the record year,
1929.
With the extension of the
pegged price Of 9 cents and the
continuation OF the AGENT tariff
and with President Roosevelt s
national campaign of rural cleo
trihcation W ich has for its OBJ
iectiye the furnishing Of cleo
tricity in every rural home,
which should greatly increase
the use of copper. instead of a
gloomy picture, the domestic
copper industry has brighter
prospects ahead.

HUGH AIRSHIP MACON
CRASHES into OCEAN

The navy's big airship "Ma-
con" plunged into the Pacific
ocean Wednesday. Something
critical had happened to the
ship while IN the air off San
Francisco coast, and after run
ming wild it crashed into the
sea.
This makes another tragic
ending Of the navy's third fight
ing air ships. The other two
were the Akron and Shenan-
doah.
The swift rescue work of naval
surface craft saved all but two
of the ships crew of over so men.
A strenuous attempt is being
made to learn exactly what was
the cause Of the tragic accident.
