Strange Events Mark NorIitenlGn
 Dinner Meeting

Accompanied by usual informali- ties including explosion in the fur mace, the extinguishing of lights, and an inadvertant crash of dishes | in the kitchen, the Norlitemen ban quet was held last evening in the Nort,hern Light Presbyterian Church, assembling scores of men and women for the Ladies Night occasion.
 As if in anticipation of events which were to follow, Charles. w. Hawkesworth speaking while the lights were out, struck the keynote of the evening with welcoming talk in which he explained that the Nor litemen organization aimed not to do things in a conventional way. Seconded by the Rev. John A. Glasse, who presided at the meet ing, the keynote talk was followed by selections by the Norlitemen quartet.
 B. F. Heintzleman, regional for ester, was presented as the speaker of the eyenng, discussing Outdoor Recreation in which he pointed out the opportunities which Alaska offers in out-of-door living. Re- marking that it is almost necessary to go to the States to learn of the advantages which Alaska presents, MT Heintzleman spoke of the scen- 1 ic and scientific features of Glacier Bay, area of a previous geologic iera. He mentioned the varied hunt ing, fishing and photographic fea- lures of Tracy Arm and Endicott Arm just 50 miles south of Juneau, and in returning to even closer to h om e spots, stated that mo where is to be found as beautiful a canyon within walking distance as in the Gold Creek region i The climax Of the evening came when during a selection sung by Lola Mae Alexander, the church ] furnace suddenly let off terrific blast. Someone cried, Its another slide and several guests rushed to leave. But order finally prevailed, upon discovery that oil in the fur mace had accumulated while the electricity was off until it suddenly exploded, causing little actual dam age, but much noise.
 ! Proceeding bravely with her song, Mrs. Alexander finished with no further interruption. But wh en Kenneth Ferguson presented his cartoon-t on famous people, an- other kitchen accompaniment ar rived with the fall of several dishes Not diminishing the interest shown in the illustrators discussion, the minor crash was forgotten as Mir Ferguson showed cartoons of Hitler, Mussolini, the Rev John A. Glasse, H. l.. Faulkner and Abraham Lin coln
 The meeting was closed with the singing of Good Night Ladies" !" following which Rev. Chase an nounced that the next gathering would be held on Tuesday evening, September 21.

REVIEW STRESSES
ADVERSE FACTORS
Standard Statistics Finds
Outlook Is Definitely
UnfavorabIe.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-In its weekly
summary OF the general business sit
uation. the Standard Statistics Co.,
of New York, currently comments as
follows:
Business trends, in the main, have
continued unfavorable during the past
week. Operating schedules are still
being reduced in many lines, new Or
ders continue laggard. and pressure on
the commodity and security markets
has persisted. Moreover, retail trade,
which until recently had been fairly
well maintained, has fallen we'll below
year-earlier levels. doubtless in re-
sponse to rising unemployment. smaller
pay rolls and business uncertainties
generally
AS far as the outlook for the next
several months is concerned, the sit
uation is definitely unfavorable In
the important steel industry, for exam
Pile. the rate Of incoming orders is be-
low even the present depressed level
OF production, and it is possible that
further reductions in the operating
rate will be witnessed over the near
term. The trade expects no important
improvement in steel buying before
next spring at the earliest.
Operations in the automobile in
dustry are rejecting the poor sales re-
sponse to the 1888 models. With the
exception Of Ford. which is not yet in
active production on next years mod
els, dealers have been we'll stocked with
the new models. and operations hence
forth will be geared closely to retail
demand. Several manufacturers have
already reduced their production
schedules as much as Is per cent from
those prevailing few weeks ago.
I'm view of the unsatisfactory sales,
there is considerable question whether
the higher price announced for next
years automobile models will hold.
Reports are current that reductions
will be witnessed shortly after the turn
OF the year. If not sooner. Lower au-
tomobile prices would naturally place
further pressure on steel prices, which
have been reasonably well maintained

reached and that buying is now at
tractive
Nevertheless, until the durability Of
the recent upturn Is proved by events,
anxiety persists lest the long, steep
fall in securities and commodities seep
through to lasting industrial recess
sion, first in America and then in
Great Britain.
A more distant fear concerns new
difnculties which real slump would
present to the negotiators of an Anglo
American trade agreement.
Summing up, responsible private
opinion here views the price recession
as unjustifled on economic grounds,
but fears it might create grave con-
sequences unless psychology is stimu-
lated to the point of realizatio of
the favorable factors in the general
outlook
Regarding the short-term market
outlook here, the writer can only re-
port hope of continuance of the recent
institutional buying. which. in view
OF the markets short supply, might
produce a sharp upward movement.
