to-Coast network to give more
complete service to the Pacific
Coast radio audience, it is an
nounced by Richard C. Patterson,
jr., executive vice president of
NBC.
The new network will begin op-
Grafton January /, 1885, with the
broadcast of the Rose Bowl foot
ball classic as the feature program
of it's Inauguration.
This step follows closely the
opening Of the new NBC studios in
Hollywood which makes available
to radio listeners all over the
world the talent of the famous
personalities of the motion picture
world.
Five well-known radio stations
on the Coast have joined NBC to
make this new network possible.
This group of new stations, plus
station KFSD, San Diego, which
is already a regular member, will
form the NBC Pacific Blue Net
work, carrying to the Coast the
same programs heard over the
basic Blue Network headed by
key station WIZ, in New York.
Under this new arrangement,
stations now known as the NBC
Pacific Coast Network become the
Pacific Coast Red Network and
bring to the Coast the programs
carried over the basic Red Net

STEEL OUTPUT
UP 30 PCT.
IN 1895

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Recovery
in the iron and steel industry
accelerated in 1885, the Iron Age
will say In its year-end review.
Steel ingot production. at 33,800,-
900 gross tons, was 80 per cent
larger than in the previous year,
whereas 1884 registered a gain Of
only 13 per cent over 1888. Pig
iron output in 1885, at Il, 100, 900
gross tons, surpassed 1884 by 80
per cent.
Though the improvement was
encouraging, it did not mark the
return of prosperity, which so far
as the iron and steel industry is
concerned still fingers around the
corner. In terms Of total ingot
capacity, steel ingot production
In 1885 was only 48 per cent. In
comparison with the record 1929
output Of 54,850,433 gross tons of
ingots, 1885 was a 50 per cent
year.
Prices Advance
The Iron Age composite price
for finished steel, at the end of
1885. is 2.130c a pound, as against
2.124c a pound at the beginning
Of the year. The current COM
posite is $3.74 a ton below the
1929 high of 2.317c a pound.
The current composite price for
pig iron Is 1884 a gross ton, as
compared with $17.90 at the begin
ming Of the year.
The developments strongly in
fluenced the course of steel pro-
duction in 1885. One was the
unanimous decision of the United
States Supreme Court voiding the
National Industrial Recovery Act,
which was shortly followed by a
stimulation Of business on a wide
front.
New Autos Helped
The other was the introduction
Of new automobile models in No
vember, or two months ahead of
the usual time. Demand from
motor car builders brought sup
port to steel mill operations in the
late months of the year when
in the past they have usually de-
clined. Automobile production in
1885 totaled approximately 4,l35,.
600 cars, an increase of A per
cent over 1884 and the highest
output for any year since 1929.
NEW YORK, Dec. so.-steel
operations are expected to rise
rapidly from the temporary let
down caused by the Christmas
and New Year holidays, the maga.
zine Steel states.
Due to Christmas suspensions,
Steelworks operations last week
averaged 48 per cent, down
points from the preceding week.
Despite that drop, however, opera.
tionS were still far ahead Of the
80 per cent registered in the cor.
responding week Of 1884.
With the New Year holiday
intervening. this weeks output
is expected to follow much the
same pattern as last week. There
after, adds Steel. indications point
to a rapid rebound"
While leading producers are
holding firmly to the advance of
50 a ton on Semifinished steel for
new orders for the first quarter
one small producer is offering wire
rods at the former level, the pub.

ing made to strengthen sheet and

criminals from defeating justice
in court, and reduce the expense
Of court proceedings.
Amendments to the trial justice
law embodying the experience Of
the past two years and, particu.
larly. setting up clear jurisdic-
tional boundaries between the
lower and the higher criminal
courts.
These are not all Of the re-
forms that will be proposed, but
are those which now have the best
chance of passage by the general
assembly next year.
Change in Circuits
A redistricting of judicial cir
cults will be suggested by a Spe-
cial legislative commission, and a
few adjustments may be made,
but no extensive reapportionment
of territory is expected.
Establishment of a new State
system of regional jail farms also
will be proposed to the general as
Sembly, but it is considered doubt
full whether this can be done in
one step because of the capital
expense involved. Progress may
be made in this direction, how
ever, since in some cases, it may
be less costly to establish new
regional prisons than to continue
the use of present local facilities.
A bill providing not only proba-
ton service, but parole service,
with the indeterminate sentence,
may be presented, but the COVER
nor's advisory legislative council
recommended that only the pro
baton feature be accepted in 1886.
It Is possible, but not probable,
that the general assembly will de-
eide that the whole law should
be brought up to date. Piece
meal reform often can be more ex-
pensive and confusing than a
clean sweep.
Virginia has been making con-
siderable progress despite depreS-
sion conditions in the moderniZa-
ton of its higher prison system, "
but Jail administration admittedly
remains in a shocking condition.
Lacking In Authority
The executive departments, par
ticularly the welfare and health
departments, have tried to clean
up the jails, and in large meas
ure have succeeded with the CO.
operation of the courts in elimi-
mating some of the physical evils.
But they have been powerlesS to
make any substantial Improve
ments because they lack the au-
thority.
State officials consequently have
stood by helplesSly and watched
children, idiots, confirmed profeS-
sional criminals and women
herded into century-old prisons
which have been denounced by
Federal authorities as unfit for
human habitation. They have
seen first offenders kept for weeks
in the same cages with hardened
post graduates in the fields Of
burglary and robbery, and women
suspected of crime penned up with
diseased unfortunates from the
streets.
They have been unable likewise
to prevent jailerS from starving
their prisoners or sheriffS from
filling jails with unemployed wan
dererS whose imprisonment means
additional fees from the State.
Only last week the Bureau of
Prisons in the U. s. Department Of
Justice announced that the muni-
cipal jailS of Richmond, Norfolk,
Portsmouth, Roanoke, Newport
News and Danville and two score
other prisons all are below the
minimum standards" Of the Fed

Sometimes, if a woman could

a beautiful glow of magnanl-

After the parting quarrel, a
