you ever done any wri.ing?"
 If Mary can say that she was on the staff of her school paper all through high school or college, that she helped out in the schools pub- licity department, or that she work ed on the local paper one summer --she may get chance at that job.
 And she might very well turn 1t into something better than the sec- retarial job she went after original ly. Or 1t may lead to a secretarial job.
 Today 1t isn't enough for a job- hunting boy or girl to know how to do one thing.
 Walter Pitkin says. "1n my opinion, anybody above IS who cannot do at least five tasks for which wages are paid is a pretty poor stick" USE SUMMER
 TO LEARN SKILLS
 That Is being pretty harsh about 1t. But 1t certainly is true that the graduate who goes out looking for a job knowing that he can do several different things, stands better chance of getting toe-hold in some business than the one who has to wait for an opening in the only line he know.
 Young people who are still in school-and those who are waiting for fall before starting the job hunt-could spend the summer hunt-could spend the summer months advantageously by picking up at least one more skill than they now have.

THEY LEARN
 SELF RELIANCE

And the fact that the young campers are learning to depend on themselves is of enormous character value Too many children today are accustomed to canned or ready made living. It is good for them to know that once, and even now in many places, every necessity as well as every comfort, had to be fought for with all the ingenuity at mans command.
 Recently I gave a book to a small boy. It was about an Indian tribe. He took 1t to school. The next I heard about 1t, his ambitious teacher had planned the whole Visitors Day program around 1t. For weeks the children talked of nothing else. The lure of the American Indian is still as strong as ever.
 So one can see how this new idea O. day-camps, incorporating the best of outdoor lore, the wisdom of old trappers and the expedients of pioneers will interest children of al- most any age over six.
 In smaller way, other commit mites might fellow suit The smaller the town, the better the chance of finding suitable spaces for a wilderness trail"

Demand for Steel
Shows Best Rate
In Eight Weeks
Trade Cites Four
Factors Which Nav
Reduce Activity
By the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, June 5.-A more
active steel demand was reported
today by the magazine Steel, but it
said the four-point production rise
last week may be somewhat mis-
leading Operations increased TO So
per cent of capacity, the highest
rate IN eight weeks and 26L per
cent better than year ago.
The publication listed several
factors which it said will prevent
consumption the next 80 days from
matching the recent trend of steel
making. They were:
Cd Automobile builders will re-
quire only small steel Ionnages for
a number Of weeks; ca some farm
equipment plants have scheduled
temporary shutdowns shortly: e,
railroad needs are likely to con-
tinue restricted for the rear future:
90 requirements of some other con-
sumers usually temper of at this
time Of the year.
Strong support in steelmaking,
meanwhile, is expected from untitled
mill orders acquired several weeks
ago. A 1875 reduction in pig-iron
production was reported for the
month of May, although operations
still were 37.2 per cent larger than
year ago.
Listed as recent favorable devei-
opments in the heavy steel market
was Navy order for $500 tons to
be used for 16 new destroyers and
submarines. Structural shapes and
concrete reinforcing bars also were
more active and the railroad equip
ment market was enlivened by an
inquiry for LILO freight cars.
Nearly all of the larger districts
shared in last weeks steelmaking
rise. Gains included points to
AZ per cent at Pittsburgh, Az to
53l2 at Chicago, II to 70 at Wheel
ing, 2 to A at Buffalo, to 60 at
Birmingham, to so at Cincinnati,
and 3 to 48 at Youngstown. New

stronger in number of districts.
The finished steel composite held
at $3.50.

American Lard Exports
Make Substantial Gain
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 5.-Substantial
increases in American lard exports
particularly to Great Britain and
Central American countries. oc-
Cured during the first four months
. of the year, the Institute of Amer
lean Meat Packers reported
Exports totaled approximately 93,-
100000 pounds, compared with g.
100000 the corresponding 1888
period.
Attractive prices, removal of the
10 per cent ad valorem duty on LARD
imported into the United Kingdom
under the Britlsh-Amerlcan trade
agreement and expanding markets
for American lard in Central and
South America accounted for the
increase. the institute said.
Germany, once an important mar
ket for lard, bought only $4,000
pounds from the United States in
the first four months of 1899, COM
pared with $4,000 pounds the cor
responding period last year.

Important Advances
In Trade Forecast
By London Experts
Weekly Review Says
Markets Are Showing
Fair Undertone
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, June 5.-British mar
kets Withstood a major political
shock-the setback in negotiations
for an English -French-Russian mu-
tual assistance treaty-and closed
the trading week with a fairly
strong and confident undertone.
The weeks trading opened with
strong upward trend on confident
expectation that Soviet Russia
would accept the British mutual
assistance proposals, thus complet-
ing the major framework OF
the Anglo-French "anti-aggression"
front.
Added to this was the growing
conviction among industrialists that
Britain was on the verge of impor-
tant improvement in trade gen.
orally.
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotoff S
speech characterizing British pro-
posals as still insufficient to bring
Russia into the security group there
fore caused an adverse reaction in
the markets, but the continuing op-
timism shown in official circles held
the downward movement in check.
War loans reacted fractionally to
hold steady at 95A, other gilt-edged
issues closing from "a to 4 higher.
The United States proposal for
international cotton conferences in
the fall had mixed reception from
Liverpool and other cotton ex-
changes.
One view was that any action by
Britain or outside growers would
largely be helping the United States
solve the problem of overproduc-
ton.
But offsetting this was the recog-
milton that Britains cotton war re-
serves are dangerously short" and
the solution of the American prob
lem might prove as helpful to
Britain.
The Bank of England's request
for brokers to hold down on Ameri-
can and other foreign security quo
tations still bothered American bro
kerage houses in London.
