steel buying which started last month
seems to have spent itself"
Galvanized sheets were listed as the
most active in hat-rolled products.

up well, with production averaging
close to so per cent. Agricultural i'm
plement makers held operations at
10 to IS per cent, with indications of
about two months activity before the
seasonal lull.

orders from Los Angeles, Fort Worth,

FARMERS T0FACE
SURPLUS THREAT
Long-Range Rural Outlook
Far From Reassuring,
Review Declares.

NEW YORK, April 18.-In its week.
ly summary of the general business
situation the Standard Statistics Co.
Of New York currently comments as
follows:
Manufacturers and professors are
curtailing their output in line with
:he reduced demand, but this is not
lrue Of agriculture. If large harvests
ere witnessed this year, the farmers
again will be faced with the spectre
of plenty to sell, but at distressingly
low prices.
IAN unreasonable cold wave swept
over much of the country recently,
following q period of abnormal tenn
peratures, exposing growing crops to
a major hazard. However, examina-
ton Of the damage reveals that it was
confined largely to some fruit and
vegetable areas In brief, there has
been no particular change in the
favorable crop outlook that has existed
for the past month.
Bumper crops have long been as
sociated with prosperous conditions,
with strong demand for farm labor
ers, for harvesting machinery, for
transportation facilities, processing
equipment, ETC., and with ample food
supplies and brisk trade in the agri-
cultural areas of the Nation. How
ever, the vision of bulging grain ele-
vators, well-stocked corn cribs and
heavy supplies of other farm products
moving to the markets has an ominous
note
THE Federal marketing quotas have
been designed to restrict production
to level more closely in line with
needs, but their effectiveness can be
seriously questioned. We have already
encountered a cotton oversupply so
great that the full marketing quotas
cannot be imposed without virtually
suspending production for year. The
wheat supply situation is shaping up
so that officials may not be able to
impose low enough quotas on that crop
to reduce supplies to the desired level.
Corn and other products may work
into a similar position before the
year is over.
Agricultural prospects for the next
lew years are far from reassuring.
A business recovery would, of course,
tend to increase the demand for meats,
fruits. vegetables and other products,
thereby Tightening much of the now

In keeping with your daytime
loneliness, you'll want to be es-
pecially lovely at night too. Have
you noticed the lovely lounging
robes. house coats, and pajamas.
They're a dream. So daintily fem
mine. They're styled for comfort
as well as for becomingness, and
they're styled in all the latest col
ors and materials. The charm of
these lounging garments lies in
their utter simplicity, the richness
of the fabrics from which they are
made and their full skirts with
their slim waistlines. They're sur
to bring out your best points and
make you look your loveliest.
Seen in the shops are the love
Hest of the loveliest. Here are two
which caught my eye.
The first is one of those slender
WASTED, full skirted, h%ousecoats
in ehangeable taffeta. The bodice
is embroidered with holly leaves
with their bright red berries. The
housecoat has large puffed sleev-
es and a rounded collar. The slen-
der silhouette is kept by the upper
running the length of the garment.
Clippers are an added essential in
keeping those graceful, slenderiz-
ing silhouettes.)
The second one is charming in
its simplicity, 1t is made of bright
red flannel on princess lines, fitted
at the waist, with a full upper
front. The sleeves are loose, fall
ing to the wrist. The robe has a
quilted Indian design running from
shoulder to hem.
In either of these charming
lounging robes, you'll love those
long winter evenings at home.

| think a steamed pudding is a
satisfactory dessert for a festive
dinner that is sure to bring fam
lilies and friends together during
tho holiday season. You may de-
eide upon a light or substantial
pudding or a simple OF rich or per-
haps a holiday pudding gay with
holly that will be the highlight of
the Xmas dinner.
Always remember this: that a
really good steamed pudding is no
better than its ingredients. The
suet must be very very fresh. Buy
the finest dried fruits and the best
flour. Be sure to sift it carefully
tefore measuring it.
Steamed buildings may be cook
ed in glass baking dishes, pudding
mclds, empty baking powder boxes
or coffee tins. They should be
placed on a trivet or rack in a ket-
tie of hot water, tightly covered.
The water should come up about
halfway round the molds and be
kept boiling, hot water added as
needed. The mold must be thor
oughly creased and filled not more
than two thirds full. Don't lift
the cover if you can possibly avoid
it-but, of course, if this is your
very first steamed pudding I'm
afraid your curiosity ill get the
best of you.
CHRISTMAS PUDDING One
third cup suet, one half pound figs
finely chopped, two and one half
cups stale bread crumbs, n teas

Soak bread crumbs in milk and

with flour. Sprinkle over with
baking powder and beat thorough
lily. Steam three hours and serve
with a rich hard sauce. Flavor the
hard sauce with sherry or with
rum. II you like or with brandy.
1t makes that real Xmas-y tang.
When you turn the pudding out of
the mold for serving top it with a
spr.g of holly full of berries and
lay the holly all around the pudd-
ine.

SPEEDING THROUGH LIFE
TOO FAST TO LIVE

Take time to live" Roe Fulkerson,
Florida humoriSt. advised Kiwanis IN
ternationtl delegates at the closing ses-
sion of their convention in San Francis
co-and it was thought Kiwanians and
all other business men might we'll carry
through the next y months with them.
my grandfather took nearly year
to travel from the hills of Tennessee
around Cape Horn to San Francisco in
1879. But look what an experience he
had He lived, and his life wasn't all full
of speed and hurry
If we stop and think, most Of us
don't need the example of Mr.. Fulker-
sons grandfather to know that his ad-
vice is sound.
What has been your most enjoyable
vacation? Wasn't it one on which you
took your time, travelling leisurely, stop
ping as you pleased, forgetting rigid time
schedules and frenzied haste?
The theory that motivateS a lot us
is that we will hurry through life until
we reach a mythical retirement age
and then all of a sudden we will stop hur
rying take our time and enjoy life to the
full The trouble is, in the first place,
that somehow or other we never reach
that mythical age and in the second
place, when time comes to retire were so
used to hurrylng that We can I help II.
Even though the time should come
when we reached the golden age of re-
tirement and fulfilled all our plans,
wouldn't we look back and wonder if we
hadn't wasted two-thirds of life by hur
rying through it, always with our eyes on
the future?
As business men, we wouldn't think
of taking losses for 80 years, planning to
allow our huSineSS to show n DrOfit ONLY
in the last % years. Yet, as individuals,
that is just what lot of us are doing.
We take a very definite loss-a loss of
enjoyment and comfort-for so years of
our life, and hope that the last 25 years
or so will make up for it. Too often it
is a vain hope.
Why operate our lives less efficient
ly than our business? Why not take
time to live?"
