dry Chief Points to Vast
Steel Changes.
By the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH. Pa, February 2s.-
George T. Ladd. president of the
United Engineering & Foundry Co.,
had figures today to show the steel
industry has put $3.50, 600, 900 into that
modern production giant, the continu-
GUS strip mill, and more millions are
to come.
Ladd, whose firm has built IS of
the % continuous hot strip mills oper-
ating in the country, said they are
constantly becoming bigger and more
efficient. His company is now build
ing a 100-inch mill for the Carnegie
Illinois Steel Corp, which will be the
largest in the world.
The United Engineering president
also told a group of the American
Banking Institute in an address last
night that the worker has not lost
out in the great modernization pro-
gram Of the last decade. He said:
In 1928, before any mills of the
modern type had been installed, the
workingman's share Of every dollars
worth of sheet steel sold was 37.7
cents; in 1884 1t was 382 cents.
While the price per pound of prod
ucts decreased practically so per cent,
tonnage produced has almost doubled
so that confning ourselves to the
strip steel industry, labor's share has
not been essentially altered"
Ladd told the bankers that the
3,750,000 motor cars built last year,
requiring between so and so per cent
by weight Of strip steel, accounted for
100000 tons or about 30 per cent of
such steel output.

SIGHT OF BLIND GIRL
rs SLOWLY RETURNING

HELENA, ITS wonderful"
was the sum of Jane Borsch's reac-
ton to sight that is returning to her
after 81 years of total blindness.
Partial vision returned to the 25-
year-old student while she was at
tending a class at Arkansas State
College at Jones boro, Ark, but she
did not grasp the full import of what
was happening until three days lat
er. Since then her sight has returned
slowly but steadily until she now
can distinguish objects and tell the
difference between colors.
Her returning sight amazed physi-
clans at Jonesboro hospital, she
said, who could give no explanation.
II don't exactly know what to
think about it," she said, "but it's
wonderful. Of course, I can't see to
read yet but can see colors, people
and the sun.
II was sitting in class at college
when / suddenly had the impression
that the teacher and pupils were
looking at me-"
She became blind at the age of
four during a childhood illness. Miss
Borsch graduated from the Arkansas
School for the Blind two years ago
and was attending Arkansas State
College to prepare herself for life
work of teaching the blind.
