TAKES THIRD RISE
Another Advance Noted in

Cent of Capacity.
Ey the Associated Press

Ey tne Associated PTeSS.
NEW YORK, March 30.-Aided by
mild seasonal improvement, ingot
production in the Nations steel mills
this week rose for the third consecu-
tive week, and now stands at 35l2
per cent of capacity, or 5la points
above the level at the beginning of
the month, Iron Age reported today.
AS in previous weeks, the better
volume of buying still stems from
miscellaneous sources, with the auto
industry, the railroads and building
construction playing small part in
expanding orders, the publication
said
Light products, especially wire
| fencing, barbed wire, nails, galvanized
sheets and strip, have gained more
than the heavy products, such as rails,
plates, shapes and pipe.
Whether steel production makes
much further gain in April depends
to considerable extent on the three
major consuming groups-automo-
biles, railroads and building" the
organ pointed out
THE scrap market does not yet
reflect confidence in major upswing
in steel production.
No. l heavy melting steel has de-
clined so cents a ton at Chicago and
Philadelphia and 1912 cents at Pitts
burgh, bringing the Iron Age COM
posite price down to $1317, only 25
cents above the 1887 low point of
$l292 in November, it was added.

now getting into new model as

The Brighter Side ByDamonRunyon

However, we do not always trust our own emo
tions. Sometimes we watch the professional dra-
matte critics If Mr.. Winchell, for example, as
sumes the expression of q fellow just about to
commit a misdemeanor, we figure it is time for
us to co. We do not have to stay. He does.
Hence his expression.
When Mr.. Dick Watts passes his hand over his
chin and clears his throat, we know that he is not
going to cry out in protest. but that he is just
assembling in his mind the nicer distinctions
among words Of the English language that mean
odorous but without being vulgar about it.
Nathan The Enigma
THE enigma of all those dramatic critics is Mr.
L George Jean Nathan. We have studied him
at considerable length at intervals down through
the years hoping for some sign from him that
would give us cue as to what we ought to say
to the boys out on the sidewalks between the
acts about what We think Of the show, but never
a sign does Mr.. Nathan make one way or the
other.
Once we saw him turn his head quickly with
pleased expression and we said to ourself well
this one has got him all right, but then we saw
it was just pretty girl that up to that moment
Mr. Nathan had missed.
What does Mr.. Nathan think?

Hitler Binds Self

Hitler Binds Self
HITLER has made many speeches before. With
the exception Of the last one, all the others
Of major import were composed of declarations
insinuations and threats of what he intended to
do from the aggressive viewpoint,
His last speech is remarkable for what he
declared he would not do, the things to which
he was indifferent, the issues in which he had
no interest.
Most significant of all was his declaration that
the Sudeten area of Czechoslovakia was "the last
territorial claim have to make in Europe"
He has never before made such a flat un-
equivocal declaration in any of his speeches
That this flat declaration will not be believed
FOR one momentA by the world at large is not
because he has before said one thing and done
the opposite, but simply because heretofore he
has not stopped after each Of his coups d'etat as
the world fondly expected he would.

Proud of Personnel

MIR. ROOSEVELT was proud
AVA of his rail fact-finding COM
mission. 1t has fairness and in
tegrity, which is something these
days. Chief Justice Stacy, Of
the North Carolina Supreme
Court, has had long experience
as a railroad mediator. Dean
James Lands, of Harvard Law
School, is a common-sense liberal.
While the Chicago University
Economist Harry Mills is less
well known than the other two,
he rates with them.
Judicial fact-finding is all that
is expected from them.
1T IS AT LEAST a 2 to l bet
l. among those who know rail
roads best here that there will
be no strike.
The same odds prevail in ex-
pectation that nothing what
ever will be done until after the
November election.
Then a sincere effort will be
made probably by both sides to
compromise. Most authorities
expect them to get together pos
sibly on a 7 or 8 per cent
tentative cut under some ar
rangement which will preserve
the base pay rate for the future.
This would wipe out increases
granted last year and save the
roads about $3.50 millions year.

there is harmless. effective way to lose
fat. if you'll only STICK TO IT and give
it fair trial.
In 40 days. % women lost q total of 2s6
lbs. EVERY woman lost fat-the average
loss per woman being IL u lbs. The women
first of all ate sensibly. And for proper
functioning they took little daily dose of
Kruschen Salts. If you have the slightest
doubt about this Plan Just ask your own
doctor about its safety and merit
And this Is important to know:
KrusriIen is not just one salt. as some
people may ignOrantly believe. Rather, it's
a blend Of 6 active mineral salts (see on
bOx) which, when dissolved In water, make
a healthful mineral drink similar to the
waters Of famous European Spas where
wealthy fat women have gone for years.
Here is the Kruschen Plan: Just take
half teaspoonful of Kruschen in hot water
every morning for better functioning Go
light on fatty foods and sweets-eat plenti-
fully of lean meats. fresh fruits and green
vegetables. Plan to do this faithfully for
90 days and see IL you don't lose fat and
feel healthier and younger. Jar costs

Rail Strike Threatens
THE rail strike threat may
- not be as dangerous as it
sounds in statements by the op-
posing sides. Both may be doing
a little propagandizing for pub
lie interest and support.
Nothing got out about that
conference of the executives and
labor leaders at the White House
recently, but the executives GER
tainly found out what side the
President was on. He talked
tough to them, urging them to
come around to renewal of the
existing wage scale.
Executives begged off by say
ing they would have to consult
the whole industry before they
could promise anything like that.
The result you already know.
They decided to stand firm for
a cut.

~ maintaining a strike may
not be as good as the strength
of the Big Four brotherhoods
would suggest. Between SOC, 900
and 100000 experienced rail

these to break any strike, and

SUPREME STATESMAN:
u. S. PEACE CREDITED
TO F. D. BY WAGNER

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Sept. 20
G.N.SO.-New York State Demo.
Gratis we're told by United States
Senator Robert F. Wagner today
that the United States has
achieved peace because it is lied
and guided by a supreme states
man who hates war-Franklin D.
Roosevelt"
Senator Wagner, ynot e
speaker at the Democratic conven.
tion in Roosevelt's home state,
flung this answer at Representa-
tive Bruce Barton. keynoter at
the Republican State convention,
who asserted election of G. o. P.
legislators was necessary to keep
the country out Of war.
Halls PREPAREDNESS
I'm view Of the unstable in
ternational situation" Senator
Wagner said, I'VE have pru-
IDENTIFY strengthened our ma
tional defense. It is our fervid
prayer that the whole world will
find an amicable settlement of
its troubles.
None the less, we value our
security and freedom too highly
to leave them exposed. Our pur-
pose is to go about our peaceful
missions, without fear of any,
one and without anyone's favor,
taking sides with none and free
from entanglementS with ALL"
Wagner warned that the con-
flict between dictatorship and
democracy is within our shores
as well as without"
"No democratic government"
he said, has ever declined, un-
less it was first undermined
from within by denial ~ the
equality and freedom of oppor-
tunity upon which democracy
rests"
The Democratic party, Wagner
said, has not gone communistic
or fascist, but has led the Ameri-
can people to progress up the
middle way"
He cited the code of moral re-
sponsibility laid down by his party
as follows:
l. No American family shall
starve by reason Of unmerited
unemployment.
