designed by the Government to stab
ilize the industry goes into effect.

whether by commercial or steel COM
pany (captive) owned mines.
Those agreeing to the assessment
and to conditions Of the act receive
back 80 per cent of the tax. Those
disagreeing not only lost the rebate but
face a Government boycott.
The National Coal Commission, di-
fecting unit of the Guffey act, de-
clares Government contracts will be

non-compliers. Even those signing
up agree to abrogate commitments

Steel men have more to consider

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, October 81
The planet Mars definitely is not in
habited, DR.. Loring B. Andrews of
the Harvard Observatory staff de-
clared at public lecture at the OBJ
servatory last night.
"The old question Is there life on
Mars?'"-he asserted. "has been def
nitely decided by recent observational
evidence which shows that the atmos-
pheres of the planet contains but one
quarter of per cent as much oxygen
as does the earth's atmosphere at sea
level. -
Human beings, such as inhabit the
earth, would find life very difficult
under this condition, far more ex-
treme than the lack Of oxygen at the
top Of high mountains"
DR.. Andrews said there might have
been human life on Mars at some
time in the past.
"If in the past there was a greater
abundance of oxygen, human beings
might have dwelt there" he said, ""for
the temperature conditions are not
too extreme and there is available q
supply Of water, even though 1t Is a
meagre one"

President Roosevelt arrived back at
his boyhood home here today, ready
to divide his time for the next six or
seven days between work and relax
alton.
Overcast skies greeted Mr.. Roose-
welt as he stepped from his special
train at the Hyde Park station at $50
am. Despite the threat of rain the
President made the 2-mile ride from
the station to his mothers home at
Krum Elbow in an open car, without
even topcoat.
As usual on the Presidents return
to his native county, only a handful
Of citizens greeted him at the sta
ton. but he received some hearty
cheers from q hundred or so school
children grouped about the curb in
front Of the school house Mr.. Roose-

Hyde Park are not given to outbursts
Of enthusiasm, and. In addition, are
lifelong Republicans.

went to his cubby-hole Office at the

No business engagements were
scheduled for the President today
but it is expected that, beginning to-
morrow, he will arrange to see al
least two or three callers each day
until he starts back to Washington
probably next Wednesday. While

Pay Roll Factors.
Behind President Roosevelt's per.
sonal poll of business men for ideas tt
raise the pay roll level is an apparent
move to promote permanent modified
N. r. A.
The Government business char
published yesterday showed that th'
pay roll index has increased abou
1872 per cent since January, Will
industrial production has shown nj
increase at all. Offhand, an outside,
looking at the figures might fall int.
the error of believing that the manu-
facturers have raised salaries withou
increasing production since N. r. A
was abolished.
The fact is one Government au
thority has kept close tab on wage
in specific large industries and ha
found them relatively unchanged sine,
January. That indicates the demoli
ton of N. R. A. has had no appre
ciable wage effect in the large indus
tries as represented in the industria
production index (steel, autos, tex
tiles, etc..
Small Business Aided.
One explanation for the extent o
the increase in the pay roll index /
that it includes lot of small factorie
not included in the industrial pro
duction index (small canning fac
tories, textiles, etc.. Business has hi
such a pace that these smaller fellow
have extended operations and tota
pay roll volume since January. Also
some of the increase is seasonal, bu
much of it represents solid busines
expansion.
