GERMANY DUMPS STEEL

h Although Washington officials
have been greatly disturbed over
Gerntany's trade activities in Latin
America the latest Nazi development
indicates that they "ain't seen
nuthin' yet"
Not content to grab American
trade in Latin-America, and perhaps
emboldened by the Administration
dilly-dallying Mexican confiscatory
program. Germany now has the ef-
frOntery to sell her cut-price goods
right here in the United States.
Large quantities of German steel
are landed at Good Hope, Louisiana,
destined for the Louisiana oil fields.
The news as II reaches Washington
is to the effect that $4,000 feet of
9-5I8 inch casing and 10000 feet of
2 inch casing was In the first ship
ment, and that another large ship
ment was on the high seas at the
time from Hamburg. The shipments
are being made on German steam
ships. The goods were consigned TO
an American firm in Dallas, Texas,
which was a sort of fence" for Mex
leo, and the Intermediary by which
cOntiscated American oil was ship
ped to Germany in connection with
a barter-deal with an understanding
that the steel would be sent to the
United States. IL Is understood that
the deal was arranged through Da-
Wis and Company.
Scheduled operations In steel are
slightly over so per cent of capacity,
and the American steel mills can i'll
afford the threat of European COM
petition. The new form of legalized
piracy Is simple to explain. Mexico
could sell the oil profitably at any
price. II cost them practically moth !
ing as the process was a matter of
larceny. The German steel was sold
here at low price, because the Ger
mans got good price for it indi-
rectly through its oil deal with Mex
leo. The New York Sun comments !
that "the music has got !
around to its starting place"
For months the war drums have
been pounded. but the noise has al

RADIANT LIVING
THOUGHT CONTROL
BY Rev. C. M. Griffeth
Methodist Pastor OF
Deals Island, Md.

When one becomes aware of the
tremendous effect that his thought
has upon his whole life, upon his
health, upon his personal relation
ships. upon his achievement of sue
cess, he begins to realize the value
of the ability to control ones think
ing.
The attainment of such control of
ones thoughts seems to be however,
quite impossible. 1t is indeed one
of the most difficult things for a
person to accomplish, yet l believe
it can be achieved.
All worthwhile things are difficult
to attain. Even though complete
mastery of ones thought life may
not be possible for one, yet any eff
fort along this line will pay big divi-
dends.
There are certain lines along which
we can be working each day, which
will lead us toward the attainment
of control of the thought life.
One of these methods is to develop
a habit of dismissing every unworthy
thought from ones mind the instant
he discovers himself entertaining it.
When the Master was tempted by Sa-
tan. He spoke to hi ma word of com
mand: Get thee hence!"
Another method approaching con-
troll of thought is to watch carefully
not to take offense. All thoughts of
self-pity should also be barred from
our minds.
Driving from the mind an undesir-
able thought or thought habit is not
easy, but it can sometimes be accom-
plished by the bold seizure of some
positive thought and giving emphatic
expression to that thought. Instead
Of saying: II am afraid, say EN-
phatically. 81 am trusting"
The cultivating of Christian thought
habits of trust and faith will greatly
help us in driving out those thoughts
hat distress us. and will bring us
closer to the mastery of the inner
hought life.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Thrifty housewives who wait for
midwinter white sales to stock up on
sheets; pillowcases, and other house
hold textiles, may wish to check
over the points to have in mind when
choosing. Miss Louise r. Whitcomb
bone management specialist of the
University of Delaware Extension
Service, says that a good sheet is
firm in weave, practically free from
sizing. is torn rather than cut from
the bolt, and is hemmed with strong
thread in short even stitches. about
~ to IA to the inch.
In general. sheets with low thread
count are coarse and sleazy. The
more yarns to the inch in each direc-
tiOn, the firmer the weave. Salts
factory everyday muslin sheets have
? finished thread count ranging from
40 TO 80 in the warp and from about
81 to 40 in the filling.
Good durable sheets are made in
many different weights. Medium
weight sheets run TO 4 1-2 ounces
per square yard.
The most satisfactory length is
from ~ 10 lUo lncneS. WlutnS run
from 63 inches for a single bed, 72
inches for a twin or three-qnarter
bed, TO 81 or 80 inches for a double
he'd. Bargain sheets are often small
er.
Sheets marked "firsts" should be
practically free from weaving i'm
perfectiOns. such as uneven yarns, or
thick or thin places. Seconds may
contain some weaving defects and
yarns, but il they do not
weaken the sheet in any way, they
may be worth buying and should be
cheaper than firsts. Pure finish"
means that only the warp yarns have
been sized TO prevent breaking in the
loom. Heavy sizing often covers up
a loose. sleaZy weave.
Tests made by the Bureau of Home
of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture in which a set of
sheets was laundeTed after every
night of use in a hotel indicated
that all were serviceable until laun-
tered 1877 times and some lasted thru
252 launderings.

LEV ELS
FOR USINESS

The disposition Of large Industries
10 keep up production even at the
risk of piling up inventories appears
10 have undergone progresses OF COR
rection during the past year. EN-
pioyerg in many industries strained
every point to keep the workmen on
their ,obs and avoid shutdowns. This
Dolicy came under q food CT critf-
els min the depression that began
early last year, when stocks Of used
cars in the hands Of dealers
throughout the country became SO
large that the sale of new automo-
biles slowed down and with that
drop in production brought about a
loss of employment.
The holdings of used cars by deal
ers and manufacturers have been re-
duced by more than 35 per cent
since January. 1888. Poor's Reports,
which are standard authority, says
that there were approximately 290,-
900 new cars and trucks in the
hands of dealers and manufacturers
at the beginning OF this year, which
was a decline of more than 40 per
cent over the same 1888 period.
Lows" were reached In the third
quarter of 1888, and automobile pro.
duction in the fourth quarter was at
the annual rate OF 3.S00,000 units.
There is no talk anywhere about a
5-milllOn-car year. such as so fire.
auently represented the optimistic
hope of manufacturers and the deal
ers in former years.
Industrial reports covering num-
erous industries show that they are
adopting new levels for business
that will lessen the dangers of over
expanding production. During the
last few months all but the indus
try's weakest producers returned to
profitable operating basis.
The foregoing facts furnish very
about better conditions In national
hopeful sign that 1889 will bring
Industries and a steadying of en-
ployment. In short, better business
seems in prospect with the new lev
els for business.

TIMES SHOULD GET BETTER

The present system of emergency
relief was established in 1888 to cure
the emergency" and bring the
country back to normal. The nation
was assured that there would be no
further need to appropriate for re-
covery after a year or two. No one
thought that within a few short
years public. relief would be looked
upon as permanent. II they had
thought so It would not have been
tagged emergency"
Expenses OF relieving the poor and
unfortunate must be carefully hand
led, because 1t is we'll known that
there are lots of temptations that re-
suit In a waste of this class Of pre-
cious funds.
Events in the Senate and House
since the first of the year indicate
clearly that the legislative bodies are
fully convinced that there Is an ex-
travagant and needless waste of
money, and that nnder improved
methods OF administration that ac-
tual costs should be less. The Gov
eminent has recently issued statis-
tics that showed substantial gains In
employment.
There seems to be commonsense
1 nthe statement OF a Democratic
Senator that eve should proceed on
the theory that things are getting
better, not worse" Government re-
lief will continue. That's why plans
have been laid before Congress to
coordinate many of the Federal
groups, such as WPA. PWA. CCC
and NYA in a new Public Works De-
partment with a new Cabinet Mem
ber at the head.
