NEW YORK, June 23.-The yoluns
OF new steel business continues to de.
cline, even in quarters of the industry
not affected by strikes, said Iron Age
today in its weekly survey.
The trend was ascribed In part to
seasonal factors and in part to loss
OF confidence occasioned by the labor
agitation"
With the closing down of the
Johnstown plant of the Bethlehem Steel
Corp. by order Of Gov Earle of Penn
sylvania," said the review, "and the
postponement Of the scheduled reopen.
ing Of the Youngstown plants of Re.
public Steel Corp. and YOUNGSTOWN
Sheet l. Tube Co., when martial law
was declared in Mahoning Valley by
Gov. Davey OF Ohio, the amount Of
steel ingot production capacity that
has been rendered idle by strikes is
nearly 100000 tons on an annual
basis, or about is per cent of the coun-
trys total capacity. In addition. 10000
steel workers are idle and total paw roll
losses to date are about sl5OOO.OOO.
"As the strikes enter their fifth week
and with hopes for a mutually satis-
factory settlement as remote as ever.
the volume of steel business being
switched to companies not affected by
strikes appears to be growing in vol
ume, though it is not even now of large
proportions, which is one indication
that requirements Of consumers, with
some exceptions, are lessening.
"Other developments pointing to 4
downturn in consumers needs are re-
quests for holding up shipments or
extension of delivery dates beyond the
time originally specified.
"The decline in new orders and re-
duction in backlogs find reflection in
lowered operations at some plants
where labor troubles are not factor,
lhe average for the country this week
is estimated at Is per cent, down z
points from last week. -
The decline in steel scrap prices has
been halted, temporarily at least.
though there will be no signs Of
strength until the strikes are settled,
The Iron Age composite price of scrap
remains at Sl708"

 129 Years Old
Story of First Japanese Cir cumnavlgatlon of
 Globe Tn Volume

How handful of Japanese sailors were blown from their native shores to the rocky Aleutian Isle of Una laska, and eventually. after more than a decade of absence, returned to Japan via Russia, Cape of Good Hope, Cape Horn and to the Orient to make the first Japanese circum- navigation of the globe, is told in an original volume of Japanese histori- cal account recently added by Judge James Wickersham to his already immense library of Alaskan history.
 Sixteen volumes bound in an old Japanese book frame. printed in Oriental characters with a writing brush, comprise the edition pub lished in 1908, replete with sketches of the travelling Japanese sailors.
 Drawings were made by the sailors as they travelled, of all ob- jects their wondering eyes fell upon. When the books were published, Japanese viewed their first spoons. forks and eating implements of the Occidental world,
 Tn 1793 the Japanese sailors in a coasting vessel were blown to sea and wrecked on Unalaska Island where Russians and Aleuts cared for them From Unalaska after a years stay, they were taken to Ok hotsk, on the Siberian coast, and thence inland for a stay of a few years in interior Irkutsk
 From Irkutsk, the Japanese sailors, in flesh to the Russians, were taken to St. Petersburg for an- other stay of few years. At that time, Rezanov was dispatched to Japan to negotiate for trade treaty with self-isolated Japan, but the deal fell through.
 Tn the meantime, the Japanese sailors were sent from St Petersburg

CANDY TO BOOT

Let the family go into a kitchen huddle over culinary creations for the holiday season.
 Whether it's for casual refresh ments-to be passed as guests drop in-or for holiday feast, there are all sorts of ingenious means of re- flecting Yuletide gayety.
 Let the Children Help
 Try making a little farm or home scene from cut-out cookies. Fash ion the cabin of date or caramel sticks (crunchy cookies) arranged on glass reflector. Sprinkle the roof and the ground with confec- tioner's sugar-and you have de- lightful snowy scene.
 Let the children add people made of prunes, figs and dates fastened to wooden picks.
 Make the holiday meal gayer by some of these stunts.
 Bake thin cookies-two or three inch squares to be used as name cards. Write the names on them with tiny variegated candies, or col ored frostings applied with a soft paint brush, wooden pick or a fine pastry tube.
 Cut out tiny Star shaped pieces of toast to top the soup.
 Tie a handful of nuts in red tar laton bags, cut in stocking shapes flor favors.

 Stick tiny trees made of broc- coli into small beet bases-and use them to surround platter heaped with buttered peas or other vege- tables.

HIS NUMBER
BY JOSEPH FORT NEWTON
(Copyrght 1887. by United Feature Syndicate. lna

"Thc modern generation wants to ring
God up on the telephone, but 1t does not
know His number" Such was the first SELL
tence in sermon i'll All Saints Church,
London, twenty years ago.
How odd to hear a sermon and have 1t
stick in the mind, most of it, through SO
many wears Many others, | dare say, re-
member that sermon and the radiant, I'M
forgettable man who preached it.
Canon Mackay, who recently passed away,
was picturesque man, alike i'll his message
and his method. He had all the art of Ep-
stein and Eric Gill, whereby he made an
cicnt things seem new.
If he told an old story it became new in
the rctclling; things far off were brought
near He made saints and prophets real, as
he did i'm his famous series of sermons on
st. Francis.
No one who heard it can ever forget that
intimate. searching, revealing talk on prayer.
Yes. a talk, because it was SO INFORMAL SO
richly human, and SO aware of all the dltfl-
cultics.
w llN uOcS prayer SlSlli oo N"i w w
many people today, as if they were talking
over a phone with no one at the other end?
Is it because our need is less or is tho con-
nection bad?
Is it because we dial badly, and hear only
buzz for an answer? Or is the line always
busy and we have to wait until we lose
heart? No, the plain truth is that we have
lost the right number.
If we ask for ourselves what We are TN
willing to ask for all our fellow souls, 1t is
the wrong number If we try to exploit God
rather than explore Him, the answer will
be silence.
Petty, whining, selfish prayers die on our
lips Or if we have hate in our hearts, our
PRAYERS fall flat and mean nothing. We have
forgotten the right number, if we ever really
knew it,
No, as the preacher said, since God Is
Love, He is known only through love, ano
no other number will reach Him. Thus tho
words of man fallen asleep speak to my
heart across the years!
