Wars Impact

One outstanding characteristic

the strength in oil, railway and
railway equipment shares. The
oil and railway stocks IN several
instances made now highs for

the cases in which war develop
ments are favorably affecting
earnings.
Another outstanding poin I
was the weakness IN certain

reflects in part a tendency 10

issues 10 others which are
equally good and which afford

Under this head, too, might
come the tobacco stocks. but in

Other groups 10 make new

Market Finishes

OF Dull Sales
By LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics, y. y. taivfrsit'
Last week. the stock market
came about as near 10 standing
still as Is possible. The total
volume Of trading was only p
$4,000 shares and the average
of 100 representative stocks was
only .04 Of a point from the
close Of the preceding week.
Although not reflected IN most
Of the accepted averages, the
fact Is that any central trend
was slightly upward The major
ity Of stocks traded IN during
The week closed a little higher

Furthermore. eight n the
dozen most active stocks moved
Up while only two were lower.
The eight active issues that
gained included three oils, two
rails a steel ana an airplane
manufacturing COMPANY,
The slightly rising tendency
during the week is confirmed by
the fact that corporation bonds
also gained a little.

The Real Measure

THAT these bank deposits and
this easy credit are in. large
measure the result OF wealth
consumption instead Of wealth
creation, seems to be forgotten.
Billions of dollars of the pur-
chasing power represented by
our existing Dank oeuosats were
spent not for productive wealth
but for consumers goods, which
have been used up, and for non
productive improvements which
are now expense accounts
As nation vending our way
through critical period, we
shall be stronger to the extent
that we face economic realities
and eschew fantasies. The oc-
casion calls for great compe-
tence in the management of the
national economy.

emulation Of artificially large

predicted that the industry cannot

Steel ingot production last week
dropped l point to 95 per cent.
IN several cases consumers Of
steel. including railroad car
builders, are considering adapta-
ton of bessemer steel in place Of
open hearth steel to their needs.
For many months bessemer pro-
duction has Jagged behind open
hearth and in bessemer lies viz
tually the only chance of expanded
production.
Car builders have in mind sup
plying $4,000 new cars by the end
of the year. provided opportunities
for getting steel are no worse than
now. 1t had been hoped that $4,000
new cars could he delivered by

MAJOR PROBLEM

Despite, these problems many
consider the price situation the
major problem because of freezing
of prices without previous refrlg-
Grafton of wages. The attitude OF
one SHOEMAKER in being willing to
go along for three months at
frozen levels without protest is by
mo means typical of the industry.
One of the smaller nonintegrated
producers has announced with
drawal from the market pending
approval at Washington of his
plea for an exception in his favor
such has already been granted 10
al least one maker.
Several makers observe that
though the number of orders IS
fewer larger tonnageS per order
usually for defense, keep the
volume maintained, forcing de-
liveries farther behind. Fairly
Enthusiastically large tonnage in
quiries and sales are noted. a
plate maker was awarded 10000
tons of plates following an order
for $4,000 tons the week before
for the maritime commission. A
pending inquiry is for 1877 900 tons
of tungsten steel bars for fabri-
cation into airplane gun bullets to
pierce light armor. to be fabri-
Gated on automatic screw ma
chimes. A structural contract for
&c, 1000 tons for an aircraft as
sembly plant at Fort Worth, Tex,
was awarded TO Bethlehem, with
twin plant at Tulsa, Okla, re-
ported virtually awarded to an
other fahricator. ALLEGATION soon
on 1877 900 tons Of X 1885 cold
drawn steel bars for shells Is ex-
pected, against an eventual pur-
chase of 600 900 tons.

Church and Home
BY REV. M. MIKKELSEN
Confirmation.

To find and to follow the way of life
is forever the essential problem con-
fronting us. AS we grow older the
importance of the problem becomes
more stirring and sometimes even
challenging. Our homes and Sun
day schools evidently brought it to
our attention as children; in the
confirmation class the Importance of
the problem began to appear in a
new light, and by the time we were
ready to be confirmed, that is, to
confess our Christian faith and to
have it confirmed by God, we under
stand at least this much that, al
though we may have seen the way
in the light of the instruction re-
ceived and the fellowship expert
enced in the class room, the problem
is far from solved; new and better
light is constantly needed as the days
and years 60 by.
There are many sacred days in a
persons life. When we think of our
baptism we are reminded of the
promise, For as many of you as
were baptized into Christ did put
on Christ" Another important day
is the day of confirmation when be-
fore the congregation we make
(made) confession of our belief in
Christ as our Saviour, and we recall
Him saying, Everyone therefore who
shall confess Me before men, him
will I also confess before My Father
who is in heaven
The great leader Joshua in Israel
spoke to the nation and said, Choose
We, this day, whom We will serve. AS
for me and my house, we will serve
jehovah" The answer of the people,
1--WE also will serve Jehovah for He
is our God", is promise similar to
our promise when confirmed by God
in the faith of our baptism.
The confession we make is not
unlike the confession Peter, the
apostle, made in behalf of the group
when Jesus asked, "Are you too leav-
ing me?" "Why no." says Peter,
"where should we go? You have the
word of eternal life"
In some form or other confirmation
has been practiced in the church
ever since the time of Justin Martyr.
There was, however, no confirmation
such as we have it now until after
the Reformation when it was en-
couraged by Luther. Martin Bucer,
one of Luther's followers and CO.
workers, is called the father of con-
frmation. Bugenhagen, another of
Luther's friends, introduced confirma-
ton into Pomerania From the Luth-
eran churches of Germany it spread
to Denmark and Norway, where it
was made compulsory by law in
1876.
Lutheran immigrants continued it
in this country.
What is more impressive than to
see our boys and girls encircling the
altar of Christ, confessing their faith,
and bowling the knee to their Saviour
amid the prayers and benedictions of
the church?
