Ingot Production
Rises 10 Demand
For Finished Steel
Subsequent Gains Are
Likely to Be Small,
Is Forecast
By the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, June 12-The mag
azine Steel reports an increase in
the demand for finished steel boost
ed the ingot operations rate last
week 1l2 points to 531z per cent,
marking an 8-point rise in three
weeks.
But subsequent gains this month
are likely to be small" says Steel's
weekly review Some districts plan
unchanged schedules at least until
after July A."
Production gains last week in
cluded: Pittsburgh, l point to 43 per
cent; youngstown, 3 to 81; Wheel
ing, 3 to 49, Birmingham, 7 to ST;
New England, to 40; Cincinnati,
8 to SO, and st. Louis, gig to At.
Districts in which the rate was
unchanged were Cleveland at SO per
cent, Eastern Pennsylvania at 81,
Buffalo at A and Detroit at 81.
A decrease in production in the
automotive industry will be reflected
in steel operations "for number uf
weeks says Steel, observing that
until the model change-over pc
riod has been bridged, other steel
consumers must provide the princi-
pal support to production"
shipments of structural shapes
and concrete reinforcing bars show
further gains and new business con-
tinues fairly heavy despite falling
off in awards last week." the review
continues.
The magazine adds:
Finished steel prices still are sub
ject to concessions. in certain in
stances In addition to almost
habitual weakness in reinforcing
bars. plate quotations are being
shaded, and official levels on sheets
are not yet firmly established. Be-
cause of previous coverage, new busi-

And Eddy was just coming in from school.
 "Where did you ever get this trash?" she asked.
 q forgot them this morning" !" he panted. q want to show them to Bing." He was grinning and not 8 bit ashamed, she noticed.
 "You know I hate things like this. Here I go, trying to read you fine stories and show you good pictures, and all the time you are nothing but a little savage at heart"
 q ain't any savager than the other fellows. They have some dandies. Give 'em here."
 She handed over the weird things without a word. She stared after her retreating son, tearing of to show Bing, as though she were losing something very precious. It could not be her sensible, happy hearted little boy who was now so delighted with horror.
 Then suddeny she began to laugh. It was too silly, too simply ridi- culous. Of course the child at his age did not think of those chromos as real. He was no more impressed than he would be over a cartoon with three-headed monsters, and the papers, heaven knew, were full of them.
 Senses Something Wrong
 Yet, something pricked. What was it? The fact that people had no business handing out such stuff and nonsense to children? Not quite that, either. It was something else.
 Yesterday they had taken a ride through beautiful spring country that she had called upon Eddy to admire. But the boy had just lolled in his seat and asked when they would be getting home.
 That was it. There was a streak in children, perhaps in boys parti- cularly, to prefer the thrill of the hideous to the uplift of beauty. It would disappear with time, perhaps, as the sense of appreciation sharp ened. But there 1t was under every thing. A clear case of barbarian.
 Then she sighed and her face cleared. "Eddy's all right" she said to herself. "Someday he may be out with his easel, painting those very meadows he refused to admire yesterday"

HOW OLD IS AN OLD GEEZER!

HOW OLD IS AN OLD GEEZER?
 For years, writes J. w. M, I have read your articles and have found them interesting and instructive and often had a hearty laugh over your humor and your sly digs but in recent article you insulted the aged by calling them "sourpuss, grouchy, cantankerous" and I felt it was time for some one to speak in their defense
 Come, come, now, I've been talk ing that for twenty-five years and it bounces off as painlessly now as 1t did when I first told the world the rheumatism" and dampness or exposure to cold fancy is suitable for childish imagination. How old must I be before I will know enough to take such nonsense ser- iously? Or how old must I be be- fore I learn from bitter experience how real "rheumatiz" is? Or how old must I be before I get the idea that I am justified ip being peev- ish, irritable, grumpy, grouchy, can- tankerous, sourpuSS, hard-to-live with?
 No, no, friend J. w. M, you can't convert me to that school of thought. You forget that I am more or less learned-or, shucks, let's call it expert on health. At least I ought to be, having special ized in the health field most of my life. When I call you "sourpuss, grouchy, cantankerous" I am re- preaching or rebuking you for your deplorable negligence of the rules of health all these years. I insist you have not needed the rules of hygiene, even though you may have followed some rules you imagined were the right ones. Otherwise you would not now be speaking in de- fense, as you put it, of the "sour- purr, grouchy, cantankerous" class.
 I haven't doubt that some of the hearty laughs you say you have had over my humor and my sly digs brought me just such re- breaches as yours from other read- CTS who felt offended by my im- personal animadversions.
 Even if an occasional reader takes umbrage from my teachings, I pre- fer to go down in history as no gentleman or wrtech who does such dastardly things, as long as have the satisfaction of planting the right health idea in the mind of a younger and less techy reader. As for the sourpusses, they're pretty hopeless anyway. But chron- ological age hasn't as much to dc with the matter as you would have us think, friend M. Some of my most delightful playmates are over 80 years of age-I said playmate. and not a sourpuss in the lot. Le us not confuse the issue. Sourpusse. are sourpusses regardless of theil years, and for the most part they get that way by ignoring or defy. ing the rules of health.

At an early age, it is important that you teach, your child to sit walk and stand correctly. Good pos ture is largely a matter of habit, and you can't begin too early to estab- fish good habit in any little boy or girl.
 Don't tell your young pride and joy to "throw his shoulders back and stand up straight" He simply cannot take your instructions literal- ly without throwing his body out of line. Rather, tell him to straighten his spinal column, eliminating the exaggerated hollow in the center of it. Automatically, his stomach will become flatter. His shoulders will be square, but not stiff looking.
 Set shining example yourself. Don't continually stand on one foot with the hip of the opposite leg jut- ting outward to the side. If you have an exaggerated hollow in the center of your back, do this exercise and do it with the children:
 Lie flat on the floor with knees bent so that weight of the legs rests lightly on balls of the feet. Arms should be on floor at sides. Now tilt the base of the spinal column up and away from the floor, at the same time pressing the center of your back into the hard surface. Keep shoulders fiat. When you are in correct position, very vertebra of your backbone, except three or four at the base of it, will be on the floor. Relax and repeat.
 Repeat until you realize how the position of your body changes as you eliminate the hollow in your back. Notice how stomach seems to cave in and be drawn up when the center of your spine touches the floor. Mo- tice, too, how much higher is the position of your chest.
 When you get up, try to stand as you were lying, with stomach in, backbone quite straight, chest high and base of the spine tilted slightly forward. Your hips as well as your waistline will look much simmer.
 Teach any child. girl or boy, to sit with the middle of backbone and the

lower half of it fiat against the back of the chair. It doesn't matter whether or not shoulders touch, but lower half of spinal column certainly should. When your daughter is quite young, teach her to cross her legs above-never below-the knee and never to sit with knees wide apart when her legs are not crossed. No seated position in the world is more awkwardly ugly than the knees apart one.
