STEEL TRADES
OUTPUT BETTER
THAN ASSUMED
Industry'S Method of Re-
porting Gives Public
Distorted View.
BY FRED w. PERKINS
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-aigh
Federal officials concerned with
business recovery wish the steel in
dustry would change its methods of
reporting current production so that
the public would get "a more &C
curate view"
One official said today that the
weekly production figures, based on
the ratio of output to total capacity,
are interpreted by laymen as show
ing that business is only about half
a. good as normal in the steel mills.
He pointed out that if current
production were contrasted with
production over an adequately long
series of years, the showing would
De much more favorable. and might
run as high as 90 TO 80 per cent of
the average The magazine Steel
showed that steel mills operated
last week at 52ls per cent OF ca
pacity.
Peak Made in 1916
Statistics issued by the American
Iron and Steel Institute, and con-
tanned in the annual report of that
organization, showed that steel mills
operated at their highest point
60 per cent of capacity in 1916;
that in no year since gathering of
the kind of information was begun
IN 1880 has production approached
nearer to 100 per cent than in 1916;
that even in the boom year Of 1929
it was only 88la FER cent.
Steel productiCn of 1880 fell to
81 , per cent of capacity; in the fol-
lowing three years it was 376, 1875
and 33 per cent. and in 1884 it
was 37.4 per cent.
The average of production per-
centages for the 81 years from 1914
to 1884. inclusive. figures out at APP
proXimately 65 per cent of capacity,
49, points above last week. .
Substitute Utility
One Federal steel expert admitted
that the system of comparing out
put with capacity lis likely to give
laymen a false picture of the situa-
ton, but it seems impossible to de-
wise another method that would be
as definite statistically as this one"
He explained the capacity is
rated each year, as of the preceding
Dec. 81, by a committee of the iron
and steel institute. which makes al
lOwance for obsolete equipment and
for furnaces out of operation and
likely to continue idle.
Records show some steel mills in
rush times operate at above 100
per cent Of their rated capacity.
Experts say it IS possible to do this
for week or two, but no longer.
The Federal Reserve Board uses
average production figures as a basis
for its comparisons in steel and all
other major industries.

that much coveted AIR of mystery"
Tricks to please the eyes are as
uniquely varied as eyes themselves.
And each season winks knowingly at
some new Quirk for beauty.
Eyebrows pruned to neatly arched
line, conforming with the construction
of the bone over the eye; mascaras of
blue and green a touch of eyeshadow
in colors ranging from onyx to vivid
emerald, are but few of the new eye
notes.
Irene BOrdoni, whose vivacity CEN
tiers in her flashing brown eyes, uses a
slight tinge of medium brown eye
shadow. She is generous, though, with
her black mascara and carefully brushes
it through her long lashes.
Jane Cowl sees that her thick black
lashes form an attractive fringe to her
large brown eyes. She uses very dark
brown eyeshadow and blends it on the
lids with the heaviest coloring near
the lashes. This makes her eyes appear
even larger.
Margaret SULLIVAN adds to the
charm of her grey eyes with green
eyeshadow But she manages to be so
subtle about it that only a trained
eye could detect the slight coloring.
Eyebrows are narrow, but not of
