NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Midsumr1er
inertia, plus a little selling IN the
rail. aircraft and copper groups.
gave the stock market a somewhat
ragged appearance today.
A handful of specialties eked out
small gains early and carried them
to the end but number OF faV-
orites in the July rise were either
ignored or pushed down bit.
Steels righted themselves after an
unpromising start. The pattern,
in its broader outlines, was little
changed from yesterdays.
Trading interest slackened 70 a
point where the ticker was able
to take frequent rest periods. Deal
ings for the full proceedings were
approximately 5000 shares.
share list was United Aircraft, down
more than 2. Fractionally in ar
rears were Boeing, Douglas, Glenn
Martin. Consolidated Aircraft
countered this trend with . climb
to new 194l top.
Other losers including Santa Fe,
N. Y. Central, Southern Railway,
Kennecott. American Smelling and
Texas Corp.
Favored most of the time were
United States Steel, youngstown
Sheet, Union Carbide and Johns
Manville. New York Shipbuilding
and Paramount reached new highs.
American Woolen preferred picked
up several points after publication
OF the companys report for the
six months ended June 80 which
showed a balance of sl40l a share
for the senior stock against 81
cents a share for the 1910 period.
Woolen preferred has more than
s79 of accumulated unpaid divi-
dends.

from 80 per cent last week. The
half-point gain is due to one-point
advance at Pittsburgh, similar in
crease in the Wheeling -Weirton
district to 81 per cent and a rebound
in the Buffalo operating rate to 104.s
per cent from SO per cent last week
Steel plants in the Chicago, Youngs-
town and Cleveland areas are oper-
ating this week at slightly lower
levels. In several areas steel plants
are operating below capacity be-
cause of inability to obtain scrap of
the right grades.
Overgrading Is Spreading.
Meanwhile a showdown was de-
veloping this week between the
Opacs and the scrap industry fol-
lowing announcement Monday that
the Department of Justice would in
vestigate that industry for anti
trust law violation. Such a ster
might conceivably lay the ground
work for an attempt to hold the
scrap trade responsible for any
closing of steel plants due to short
age of scrap material, and could
also develop into a roundabout
method OF enforcing the Opacs price
ceilings on scrap. From some steel
centers it is reported that over
grading of scrap material is spread
ing. a result being the exceeding OF
ceiling prices.
Structural steel awards of 26. zoe
tons are almost double the. 14,200-
ton total of last week, with outstand-
ing lettings including 18,4O0 tons in
Washington and Oregon for trans
mission line towers for the Bonne-
vile administration. New structural
projects jumped to $1,000 tons from
15,700 tons last week. Reinforcing
steel awards advanced to 25,250 tons
from 22,500 tons last week, while
new reinforcing steel projects,
swelled by $4,000 tons for q War De-
partment Office building at WASH
ington, scared to 39,475 tons from
11,100 tons last week.
Vessel shipments of Lake Superior
iron ore reached new peak in July
at 1880 ,48S gross tons. The total
for the season to August / is 40.-
216,408 gross tons, q volume well
above any like period in history"

Control Of PIG Iron
Results in Scramble
For Material
Showdown Is Developing
Between O. P. A. c. S.
And Serop Industry
By the Associated Press.

BY lnt ASSOCl6Leu fTcSS.
NEW YORK. Aug. 6.-Placing of
pig iron under full governmental
priority control has resulted in a
scramble to get iron prior to Sep
tember l and stimulated efforts
of consumers to get higher priority
ratings for their requirements, Iron
Age said today in the weekly re-
view of the steel industry.
The long awaited. action by the
Office of Production Management
in taking complete control of pig
iron was designed to regulate distri-
button of the metal to steel plants
and foundries holding vital de-
fense orders and offset to degree
an estimated 5000, ,0oo-ton short
age of that material in 1941.
"At the same time" the steel
publication said, "the o. P. M.
order establishes a pool arrange
ment under which all producers,
during each month beginning with
September, must set aside guam
tity of pig iron to be specified by
the director of priorities and to be
allocated by him to meet emer-
gency needs during the following
month. Similar priority action is
expected soon on steel.
Reached New High.
Production of coke pig iron in
July did, however. reach a new high
level at 4,77o77S net tons, COM
pared with 4,553,165 tons in June,
according to an Iron Age survey.
Output on daily basis last month
showed a gain of IA per cent above
June, or from 151,772 tons in June
to 153, 1896 tons in July. The blast
furnace operating rate last month
was 97.3 per cent, against $50 per
cent in the preceding month. On
August total of I'll blast fur
rlaces were melting 153,1 100 net tons
daily. 's'

not Ike DUCKS TO water. In former
times q man was the head of his
family, the one who brought home
the bacon, but now even that caste
distinction has been lost, for there
are just as many wives who are al
most supporting their husbands as
there are husband who are support
their wives.
In society there is no longer any
difference between what a girl may
do and boy may do.
Everywhere girls are doing the
counting, making the dates, riding
boys around in their cars. They
even pop the question so often that
the lads have ceased saying: This
Is so sudden" because they were
looking for it.
Furthermore, this breaking down

begins in the schoolroom where chill
dren study the same subjects under
the same teachers all the way from
the kindergarten through to CO.
educational college, and in which
girls are taught carpentry and boys
cooking, under the assumption that
there is no gender in knowledge.
Now whether this establishing of
an equality between the sexes is a
good thing or a bad one is a prob
lem that is open to debate Much
can be said for it. Much against
1t. For instance, ethically it seems
but just that men and women should
be judged by the same code
Certainly, nothing is more unfair
than that we shut our doors in the
face of the dissipated woman while
We invite her male counterpart to
dinner. Yet it is observable that
when women assume the right to
act like men they are no examples
to the young.
Also, at a casual glance, it would
appear that it would make for
domestic harmony for husbands and
wives to have the same background,
know the same things and be able to
pinch-hit for each other.
How companionable, we think,
would Mary and John be if they
could spend a happy evening dis

This is the time of year when we
begin wondering about our vacations
and planning what We will do. We
must soon decide whether we will
take a camping trip, see Grand
Canyon, 90 to the mountains, enjoy
the seashore, or stay at home and
save money.
One thing is certain: All of Gods
children need some kind of a vaca-
ton. We always need one. and
this year especially, the finger Of
discretion points that way.
We feel the import OF the
strenuous and dangerous times in
which we are living. We cannot
escape the nervous strain which
tOday's events impress on our sub
conscious selves.
1t is important. if we are to get
relaxation from our vacation time,
that we analyze ourselves in rela-
ton to the plans we make. Many
people come back from a vacation
more tired than they were when
they left.
II long motor trips tire you, ii is
q mistake to take q 3,00O-mile trek
on wheels. If you get Seasick, don't
plan an ocean voyage. II you be-
come dizzy when you get too near
the clouds. don't 60 higher than
5000 feet up in your travels. This
advice seems obvious, but it is amaz-
ing how often we find ourselves in
situations which we do not actually
enjoy, simply because we didn't give
enough thought to our vacation
ahead of time.
For instance, if your greatest
source of fatigue comes from
financial strain and the habit of
living beyond your means, perhaps
you could get greatest benefit from
staying at home this year.
You could lie in the sun, sleep
late, read, fish, play golf and enjoy
the lack Of pressure.
Many persons plan a vacation
which necessitates too much travel
ing for the length of leisure avail
able, and therefore have no time in
which to truly relax. On the other

Manners
of the
Moment

1t seems an odd rule but it's
right there in black and white in
the standard etiquette books &.
that nice girl is not supposed to
accept fur coats from her future
husband
Not having known any future
husbands who offered their future
wives fur coats, I find myself some
what baff1ed by this rule of engage
ment behavior The idea is, appar-
emily. that a girl is not supposed to
let on to any one until after the
wedding that this man, she hopes,
is eventually going to support her.
She is supposed to keep that part
of the whole idea completely dark.
and therefore she is not supposed
to accept any gifts from him which
might be construed as advance sup
port.
Well, I don't know You can live
up to that rule if you like. I'm
telling it to you so that you will
know how you are supposed to act
But If you were actually faced with
a fur coat hanging over your loved
ones arm. you might. you know.
advance the date of your wedding
and take the fur coat as a wedding
present. That ought to be all right
with every one, including yourself.
