The annual report of the United
States Steel Corporation was given to
the public this week and presents facts
and figures showing where the money
came from and how it was spent.
The vaunted millions going into the
rapacious NAV of eastern stockholders
so glibly prated about by those who
fail to consider that stockholders of
the Corporation and its Subsidiaries
comprise employees in every state in
the Union in which the corporation
operates and many others as well to
the number of 217,0O0. Among this
vast army are large number right
here in Ely and other range towns.
The report is quite voluminous, but
couched in language and figures
easily read and digested. A synopsis of
the same was made by Irving S. Olds,
chairman of the board of directors
and released Monday, March "a. 1t
says:
THE nations program should be
prosecuted with the utmost vigor and
with a single minded zeal. This re-
quires that it be divorced from objec-
tives not legistimately embraced in
the defense measures and that no
group seek undue advantage"
1.-THE execution of the national de-
tense program" said Mr.. Olds, 'necessi-
tateS the utmost in management skill
for not otherwise can full, coordinated
production be achieved. Such a pro-
gram, however simple in conception, calls
for sound craftsmanship in its appli-
cation, not only by the business COM
munity, but by Government, labor and
all those who bear responsibility fol
results"
The demands of the war abroad and
of armament at home, said Mr.. Olds
did not directly absorb the major
portion of the corporations 1910 steel
output, but such tonnage, together
with that indirectly required, added
materially to the output of steel in
the year. 1t is anticipated that in
creasingly larger quantities of steel
will be required, directly or indirectly
in connection with the war abroad and
our national defense. The needs OF
customers, whether Government OF
private, now, as always in the past
central the extent of United States
Steel's activities.
THE fall of France, Belgium, Den
mark, The Netherlands, Luxembourg
and Norway left the United States as
the one nation which could export steel
in large quantities and, therefore, as
the principal source of steel supply fol
the import needs of that portion OF
the world not under Axis control"
The net income of the Corporation
amounted to $1O2211,28 in 1910 COM

newspaper. I feel that this is an in
teresting and effective approach to our
statewide problem of producing better
drivers and pedestrians and reducing
the annual toll of death and injuries.
I hope you keep up this series through
out the heavy travel season of the
spring and summer and that your idea
is adopted by other editors and police
officers throughout the state.
Perhaps this sort of practical
safety effort, combined with the type
of public service rendered by your
Safety Council, and DR.. Owen w.
Parker, City Health Officer, as re-
Elected in his report to the City
Council in February, is one of the
reasons why the people of Ely are
able to point to such an outstanding
traffic safety achievement as not hav-
ing suffered single automobile fata-
ity since the fall of 1892.
please accept for the motorists and
pedestrians of Ely my sincere con-
gratulations."

$50 million was for State and Local
Governments, SIT million was for So
cial Security taxes and $29 million for
the Federal Government for other than
Social Security taxes. The sum of $14
million was set aside to pay interest
for the use of borrowed savings.
after having borne these costs
all OF which had to be borne if busi-
ness were to be done-the Corporation
had left the sum of $541 million, which
was about one-half of the dollars it
had received from the public in ex-
change for goods and services. This
was the only sum of which the man
ayers could avail themselves to pay
wages and salaries and to pay the
owners for the use of the facilities
the workers used to produce goods and
grovide services. The sum of $439 mil
lion, or 81 per cent of the funls left
over, was paid for wages and salaries.
This was an average payment per
worker for the year of $1,724. Probably
no one received exactly the average
ceived less than the average and some
received more. Each received in ae-
cordance with the rated value of his
or her services. The salaries of $4,000
and over paid during the year amounted
to less than is per cent of the total
payroll.
after paying wages and salaries,
there remained the sum of $102 mil
lion. Of this, approximately $25 million
was set aside for about $1,000 owners
holding preferred stock and approx
mately $35 million was set aside for
about 10000 owners holding common
stock.
"There remained the sum of $42 mil
lion which the directors, upon the rec
concentration of the management, left
in the business for future needs. This
sum became part of what is in the
nature of insurance and is of supreme
Importance in maintaining a going
business. 1t is as important to the
security of the workers and the public
as it is to the owners, for it must stand
the losses during the periods of bad
business, the changes in tools and
machinery demanded by scientific pro-
gress over and above the sums set
aside for ordinary wear, usage and
obsolescence, the payment of long
term debt and other obligations, as well
as the meeting of emergencies which
are bound to occur but which cannot
always be foreseen. In view of the
obvious uncertainties of war and post
war conditions and their effect upon
future operations, retaining sum for
future needs is of especial Importance"

 LACK OF TRAINING
 MEANS INEFFICIENCY
 It doesn't make sense for us to go on neglecting the mechanical side of girls education. It sta- tistics show that women operate more machines than men, we can't afford to cling to the old idea that it is cute of a girl not to know or care what is under the hood of 8 car, or how an electric ice box really works.
 It isn't cute, 1t is just plain ig- norant and inefficient of her-a1ld we can no longer afford for women
 who today are moving by the thousands into mems jobs-to be in- efficient.
 And we can no longer afford for housewives to be inefficient in oper- taing the machinery connected with the modern home-now that home economy is such an important part of national defense.

FOCAL INFECTION IN GEORGE
 WASHINGTON,S DAY

"So1ne time in the month of Oc- tober, 1901, George Washington died in l700) attended Miss A. e. with reheumatisn in her hip joint, which yielded for while to the several remedies for that disease" wrote Benjamin Rush, M. D., close friend of Benjamin Franklin and signer of the Declaration of Inde- pendence. Rush Medical College University of Chicago was named for him. Rush,S crusades against alcoholism, war, slavery and the death penalty made him plenty of enemies, in consequence of which, as he wrote, his medical practice faded away, so that in 1797 he had ''had no new families except fore igners and many of my old patients deserted me. Resuming his observa- tions on the case of Miss A. 0. Dr. Rush wrote:
 "In the month of November it (the rheumatisrn) returned with great violence, accompanied with a severe toothache. Suspecting the rheumatic affection was excited by the pain in her tooth, whicr was decayed, I directed 1t to be extract ed. The rheumatism immediately left her hip and she recovered in a few days. She has continued ev- CT since to be free from it |. When We add to the list of those disease the morbid effects of the acrid and putrid matters which aer sometimes discharged from the carious teeth can not help thinking that our success in the treatment of all chronic diseases would be very much promoted by directing our injuries into the Bil- lings cautioned against basty sur- gical removed of tonsils or teeth on the mere suspecion that they harbor the focus of infection re- sponsible for some systemic or gen- eral aliment. He urged the practice of bacteriological cultures to de- ter1nine, when possible, the type of infection present. If an identical strain of streptococcus is found in the tissues about an affected joint and in 8 focus in tonsi, gum, tooth, then 1t is fair to ascribe the joint trouble to the septic focus and to eradicate the focus by the best means available. Neither Dr. Billings nor any other medical authority would countenance the indiscriminate ex- traction of teeth or removal of ton- sils which too 1nanw physicians have practiced in blind effort to eradi- cate the presulnptive source of chhonic disability.
 Even in George Washington's time Dr. Benflamin Rush thought extraction of the teeth of people with chronic disease advisable only when the teeth were decayed. But he recognized that the morbid effects of acrid and putrid matters which are sometimes discharged from car- ious teeth" might occur even if there were no pain (toothache). This brings up problem of present. day practice-and a controversy = namely, the treatment of apical, root canal infection or blind" ab- scess without toothache, in cases of chronic disease.

 A correspondent who wishes his name withheld sends me today's hand, which he witnessed in a rub Der game at social club. Here is a once-in-a lifetime hand with a ven- geance!
 The bidding proceeded normally until South got the notion of trying for slam. He thought he might be misunderstood if he made a conven- tional bid of four no trump, to start slam bidding, since the partners had already agreed on no trump as the proper contract.
 So he tried kind of asking bid In spades, expecting that at worst his partner would go back to four no trump and the spade bid might then operate to discourage what looked from his hand like the most dangerous opening lead.
 But North passed and East could not resist doubling. South, still trusting his partner, passed to leave the decision to North. North, evil 'dently not understanding the situa. ton, passed, and there was South playing four spades with only three small spades in each hand.
 But the pattern of split hands, 4-s.3-S, all around the table came to his rescue. He was able to cash three tricks ln each side suit, with out having any round ruffed.
 Dummy was left in the lead to play the fourth diamond, and nov East could not prevent the jack of spades from making for the tenth trick. Of course East blamed his partner for not opening Q trump. Dtlt how could West guens the fan. Iastie sltuationf

What most parents probably don't realize is that, even with all their concern and planning for their daughters education, one phase of it is probably being neg lected. She probably isn't being educated with this fact taken into considera tion: women and girls operate more machines of various types in the home. factory, office, and community than are operated by men and boys.
 That was recently pointed out by Maris N. Proffitt, U. S. Office of Education consultant, who thinks 1t is high time educational leaders took that fact seriously.
