Hanes Sees Need
Of New Capital
For u. 5. Industry
Says Nation Was on Rood
To Economic Recovery
Before Stort of War
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PRESS.
NEW YORK, Oct. 18-John w.
Hanes, Undersecretary of the Treas
ury, told members of the Bond Club
of New York today he believed that
whether or not the European wal
continues for some time industry
is going to require new capital"
Il think that we were on the
road to economic recovery prior to
Poland" he said. Business activity
showed strongly rising trend.
Moreover. there were further i'm
provements in prospect, due, among
other things, to the outlook for an
early and rapid increase in auto
mobile production, a rebound in
crude oil production and the prob
ability of replenishment of inven-
tories owing to the low levels to
which they had ben reduced.
In August the Federal Reserve
Board index of industrial production
had risen to 1O2. "'' The further
rise to about 11O in September was
Que only partly to the effects of the
war.
"All this data points to the con-
clusion that the present upswing has
not come directly from war psychol-
ogy and should not be wholly di-
vested of domestic factors"
Mr.. Hanes also praised manufac-
turers in basic industries for their
reported resistance to speculative
war price advances.
The Treasury Department. Hanes
asserted, is trying to help business
by improving the country's tax sys-
tenn. Some 1000 leaders in industry,
labor, commerce, banking and agri-
culture, he said, had been offered
the opportunity to testify informally
in departmental hearings, digests of
which will be presented to the House
Ways and Means Committee.
He also said the Treasury several
months ago had recommended some
tax changes desired by business, now
incorporated into law.

Weir Says Boom
Is Strong as Filling
In a Cream Puff
Holds Steel Prices Can't
Be Changed to Conform
To Political Desires
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-President
E. T. Weir of the American Iron and
Steel Institute believes the present
business boom" is about as strong
and firm "as the filling in a cream
puff"
In a speech to the American In
stitute of Steel Construction last
night he expressed belief there
would be no immediate advance in
steel prices and at the same time
declared steel costs are hard and
unyielding facts" which cannot be
changed to conform to political
desires in Washington"
Mr.. Weir said steel companies
could not long continue to absorb
the increasing cost of raw ma
terials, all of which have advanced.
These higher costs, he continued,
have been offset only in part" by
faster operations.

Mr.. Weir added:
'Whatever price action is to be
taken is matter to be decided by
individual (steeD companies, and I
believe their decisions must be based
on urgent economic necessity rather
than upon political threats from
Washington.
Says Profits Are Small.
Declaring that higher raw mate
rial costs had been offset only in
part by the increased rate of oper-
atlons, Mr.. Weir said that in the
first six months of 1889 average net
profits of steel manufacturers after
preferred dividends-a fixed charge
were q cents a ton.
These figures show conclusivelv."
he continued, that the steel indus
try has no margin from which to

which cannot be changed at will to

Steel Industry
Adopts Policy
OF Price Restraint
Advances, If Any, Not
Expected to Exceed
81 or So Per Ton
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-Major steel
producers seemed committed to a
policy of restraint regarding pos
sible price rises for the first quarter
of 1910, Iron Age said today in its
weekly survey.
while confirmable information as
to forthcoming price decisions is not
yet obtainable," asserted the review,
opinion in the trade is that ad-
vances, if any, will not exceed 50
or SO a ton, which steel makers say
will not cover their increase costs"
Economic advisers of the WASH
ington administration, who are
bringing pressure against price ad-
vances on steel and who are also
watching closely the price move
ments in scrap, copper, zinc and
other important commodities, are
represented as being apprehensive of
a boom and subsequent disastrous
collapse should prices of important
commodities get far out of balance.
The hysterical buying of Sep
tember and early October has been
followed by a calner market. but
pressure for shipments is heavy, in
dicating to steel companies that
most of the current production is
going into immediate use rather
than into inventory.
Scrap markets have weakened
further as a result of more liberal
offerings, which may have been in
duced by the peace atmosphere of
the past two weeks, as well as by
the higher prices being paid
The Iron Age scrap composite
dropped $40 to S2l ton, 1.5O be-
low the peak of the recent move
ment.
The review added:
"As many steel plants are now
working at the full limit of prac-
tical capacity, the rate of gain in
ingot output for the industry as
whole is slowing up, this weeks
average being estimated at 81 per
cent, up point over last week."

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

The Study Room.-Shiny sur
faces, such as a highly polished
study table or desk, satin stripes
in wallpaper, and glossy paint for
woodwork, are hard on the eyes
and should be avoided.
Reviving Serge. - Blue serge
suits can be revived by sponging
with vinegar and water before
they are pressed.
A Treat for Plants.-A little am
monia in the water once a week
when giving the plants their drink
will keep the soil sweet and the
leaves glossy.
To Clean Aluminum.-To clean
aluminium kettles which have be-
come discolored, rub them with a
cloth dipped in lemon juice, then
rinse in warm water. /
Crystallized HOney.-Honey that
has crystallized may be brought
back to the liquid form by warm
ing the container in moderately
hot water. The temperature of the
water should not rise above 40
degrees, or the honey will change
color and it will lose some of it's
flavor.
Important Trifle.-A pinch of
salt added to hot starch will give
high glow.
Sc0rched Linens. - To remove
light scorches from linens, wet the
stained area with cold water and
expose it to the sun until the stain
disappears.
Thinning Lacquer.-When using
lacquer, never thin it with turpen-
tine, benzine or linseed oil. Even
a small trace of any of these liq-
uids will ruin it. Use a CONNER
cial lacquer thinner instead.
Removing Duck Feathers.-To
remove feathers from ducks, first
pick them dry. This leaves down
all over the skin. To remove the
down, wiring out a large cloth in
boiling water and wrap it around
the duck for five minutes. Remove
the cloth and the down can be
wiped off easily with a dry cloth.

If you are style alert you'll want
silks in the handsome wider direc-
toire stripes, or if you have gone
gypsy as is the way of fashion this
spring you will insist on stripes in
vivacious coloring for a full skirt
to wear with your new sheer white
blouse. With your navy or black
suit you'll be right in style if you
wear hat of Spanish stripe silk
and carry a bag to match.
Simple stripes, one color on white,
are quite featured theme in the
latest fashions. See the dress CEN
tered in the group. 1t is made of

blocks of color form the plaid in
this printed silk crepe dress. It's
the last word in chic, is this strik-
ing and youthful dress with its swing
skirt that measures yards and yards
about the hemline. The bodice is
draped and is detailed with soft
knotted bow. The lingerie touch is
introduced by a band of white
mousseline de sole, edging the neck
line and the sleeves.
These plaid silks are just the thing
for the blouse you will wear with
your navy or black or the new navy
green suit that is causing such a
furore in Paris. Capes and jackets
lined with plaid silk are on the style
program, too. as are also the new
petticoats that are the style sensa-
ton of the moment.
