Selected Poem
LITTLE BOY

(By Herbert Durrell Smart in the Boston Post) Iris said we can't be boy but once
 Which literally is true But we can sometimes act like one
 And the role will fit us, too Twas cold Winter night anG in my dreams
 I thought heard the noise Of little boy on the kitchen floor
 Playing with his treasured toys. When morning came hurried to
 The fireplace, gray and clG But found no little boys painted toy
 That in my dream was told. And as I stood there all alone
 The thought occurred to me That maybe long forgotten toys
 Might still be dear to see. So up the attic stairs I crept,
 And opened up chest, And from it cherished playthings took,
 That long had lain at rest And story each one told to me
 (Excuse the falling tear) Of little boy who went away In the shadows heath the attic roof,
 Midst cobwebbed box and chair, In fancy was little boy
 Among his playthings there. And 1t seemed as though spirit hand
 Just turned time backwards then, And all the toy folk came and played
 With "the little boy" again. Nashua, N H., 1888.

an hour under the judges judic- iouS prodding-the judge surprised the attorneys by announcing rules" for the trial of the case. He directed attorneys to question witnesses from point some 20 feet away from the witness chair, near the further end of the jury box. This, Judge Van Devanter explained, would mean that each witness would have to speak up" to be heard by the attorneys, and the jurors as well as the attorneys would be able to hear. He also noted that he did not want several persons speaking at once" during the trial. Attorneys on either side might make their ob- jections, he said, and questioning would cease until the court had ruled upon them.
 At one point an attorney pressed for a ives" or mo" answer from a witness and the judge intervened. "The witness has right to give reasonable explanation in his an- swers", the judge ruled. Mot all questions can be answered with a yes or mo-" At another point the judge quieted a defense attorney who had raised his voice. You needn't be so loud about it,, the judge said firmly. Don't get ex- cited. A few moments later when the prosecution attorney interrupted the case heatedly, the judge Si- fenced him with a crisp, "One thing at a time." The net result of this firm control over the trial seems to have been remarkably good pro- gress. Much more testimony was heard, in addition to selecting the jury, than is usual in such cases, on the first day. In short the brisk businesslike methods of the former supreme court justice seem to have pointed the way to other judges who want to speed up justice and help clear congested court dockets.

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York, Jan. 10 - The human stampedes in theater Hobbies have been due this time to the John Barrymores while they catch up with the current shows. Fans mill around a playhouse for three chilly hours, waiting for the celebrated couple to emerge. Or rather, the celebrated trio, for Mrs. Jacobs, mother-in-law to THE Barrymore, never fails to be somewhere on the grounds.
 Incidentally, the Barrymore pro- file almost went into limbo at Sar- dis the other day after the carica- turist, Alex Gard, had labored on the sketch for an hour. Seems that MT. Barrymore refused to autograph it until the artist had relieved the likeness of the puffs under the eyes and the exaggerated jowls.
 But the next time the scion of the Royal Family enters Sardi's he may be chagrined to find that Gard has re-drawn the wrinkles and that 1t now hangs in an honor position along the walls, proper ly autographed and approved.
 Radically Wrong
 First nighters still are chuckling about the well-groomed quartet that stormed out of the theater at The Cradle Will Rock" the other night to the accompaniment of scattered misses.
 '"The Cradle Will Rock" hap pens to be 8 left-wing operetta with conspicuously reddish tinge and its audience was chiefly com- posed that evening of sympathetic souls. It was as the actors began to sing of a victorious proletariat that these four elegant playgoers rose and hurried up the aisle.
 Later investigation revealed that they were Beacon Hill Bostonians who had asked a ticket broker for seats to the latest revue in town. And being literally-minded the broker straightaway sold them four to "The Cradle Will Rock" Are their faces red now!
 Dempsey's Muscles
 If you've been concerned about Jack Dempsey's puglistic fitness over the past three years, then it may comfort you to know that the Manassa Mauler has kept himself in trim.
 Running restaurant and having easy access to the steaks and mash ed potatoes has not undermined the ex-champ's resistance. He was hav- ing a workout the other morning at the athletic club your correspond ent partonizes and he seems to be as ruggedly mountainous as he look ed in the days when he wore the heavyweight champions trunks.

STEEL COMPANIES
FACE BIG LOSSES
Large Deficits Predicted
Whether Wages Are
Cut or Not.
" the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 13.-Studies
which steel companies have made of
the new situation arising out of the
elimination Of basing point differen-
tials, together with recent price re-
ductions, indicate heavy third-quarter
losses with or without Q wage cut for
the industry. Iron Age said today in
its weekly review.
'Efnciently managed companies
which had figured their break-even
point at about 40 per cent Of capacity
believe thSt operations we'll above SO
per cent of capacity will now be neces-
sary to stop losses" the trade publica-
ton said.
Calling attention to the fact the
Federal Department Of Labor had
called q conference on wages in the
industry for July Is. the publication
said further on this question:
Despite rumors of impending wage
reductions, no formal action has been
taken by a major steel company. In
view of the Washington wage con-
ference, 1t is doubted whether any step
looking to a reduction will be taken
before that date"
OF current conditions in the indus
try the review said:
Although steel ingot production
has rebounded sharply from % per
cent of capacity last week to 80 per
cent this week, new business has not
improved in like degree, some Of the
higher production being accounted
for by replenishment Of raw steel
stocks. However, sentiment and pros
poets are improved"
The review said the automobile in
dustry was the most promising pros
pect for new steel business other than
that for Government projects, adding
that steel for initial runs Of new
models is expected to be purchased
before the end of July.
Further advances in the scrap mar
ket carried the Iron Age scrap COM
posite to $l308 a ton, the highest
since last March.

PRICE GAINS AID
FARM PROSPECTS
Values Up 5 to 81 Per Cent
in Last Two Months,
Survey Shows.
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Market Writer.

SsS~SSAeSo ASso &AoSAVS "SAsoAs
CHICAGO. July ia general re-
covery Of major farm commodities
values during the past two months
has increased prices S to 81 per cent
and altered the 1898 agricultural out
look. an analysis Of Chicago markets
disclosed today.
Wholesale prices Of nine important
commodities which help to gauge the
extent Of farm prosperity have risen
an average Of 10 per cent since the
broad upturn from Q four-year low
level began late in the spring.
Hogs and cattle, q major source Of
farm income, have Jed the upturn
with . price increase Of ~ to 81, per
cent. Eggs are up 81 per cent. The
important grains are . to ~ per cent
higher than the 1898 lows reached
scarcely six weeks ago.
Livestock Rises First.
The gradual rise Of livestock quota
tions began almost month before
the recent sharp bulge In securities,
confirming to some extent livestock
experts belief that the meat animal
market is an important indicator Of
general business conditions.
Market statisticians said the price
recovery may result in q revision Of
1888 farm income prospects. The
Bureau Of Agricultural Economics has
forecast . reduction In cash income
Of about II per cent, compared with
the $S.521 ,000. 900 in 1887. which was
the highest in eight years
Improved consumer demand for
meat and increased exports Of such
important income-producing commodi-
ties as corn, pork and lard have
helped bolster the markets, statis-
ticians said. The June recovery In
securities also added weight.
Federal Buying Helps.
Government buying of some COM
modities. such as butter, also has
been q factor. Spread Of rust In the
