Week Steel Output
OF 1,639,2OO Tons
Is indicated
Institute Estimote Bused
On Operating Rote
OF 96.5 Per Cent
~ the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 29-Steel pro-
duction this week will total ,639 200
net tons with mills operating at an
average of 96.5 per cent of capacity,
the American Iron e. Steel Institute
estimated today.
Last weeks estimate tonnage was
1854 800 tons on operations OF 30
per cent of capacity. A month ago
mills ran at 1913 per cent and turned
out ,6s6, 700 tons and year ago
operating at 9l8 per cent the indus
try produced SIS, TOO tons.
The indicated drop in steel output
from last week was attributed to fur
mace suspensions for repairs. Trade
sources were not looking for any
substantial curtailment OF opera
tions over the July holiday as was
usual in peacetime.
CLEVELAND, June % tP.-The
present supply Of scrap metal is
meeting steelmakers' needs, but
most observers of the scrap market
foresee a repetition of last winters
shortage.
This was reported today by the
magazine Steel, which commented: ::
Intensive pressure to bring out
material from every source possible
is keeping up the flow and in some
instances progress is being made in
a small way in building some re-
serves Success in the latter re-
spect is not marked. Much of pres
ent supply is non-recurrent, capable
of Quick exhaustion, with nothing TO
take its place.
Scrap resulting from war supply
fabrication is lower in proportion
to steel consumed than was the
case in peacetime manufacture.
Another potential troublemaker,
Steel indicated. Is the depletion OF
steel warehouse stocks-"contrac-
tors and subcontractors find 1t
increasingly difficult to obtain from
this source many items needed for
essential purposes.
Shipbuilding now requires more
steel than any other one industry
the review noted. For some time
ships have taken most of the record
output of plates and now they are
assuming a similar position in re-
gard to shapes.
Ingot production last week was
reckoned at 981a per cent of ca
pacity down a half point. Cleve-
land advanced points to "a and
Buffalo 2la points to SO. Chicago
yielded Il point to l03, Cincinnati
declined to 80; Detroit, to 81
and Wheeling, 2 to 1917. Un-
changed rates were St. Louis, 95i2 +;
Eastern Pennsylvania, 90; Birming-
ham, e5; Pittsburgh, 95l2; Youngs-
town, 95, and New England, 100.

Lotions and Large Hats
Protect Skin Against Sun
BY DONNA GRACE

IT IS still a long way from
summer and beach sports but
those who seem TO anticipate the
hazards. as we'll AS the Joy of
sunshine, are writing TO know
Of some way 10 prevent freckles.
Those in the class which,
among dermatologistS, are in
the heliophobie type will have
frcCkleS whenever they expose
their fair skin 10 sun rays. Their
skin is not reinforced with dark
pigment that prevents sun spots
or freckles and the best way to
prevent freckles is TO stay in
the shade.
Protection
This is, of course. out of the
question for any girl who eX-
poets TO enjoy herself and she
will do the next best thing
that is, protect the skin with
suntan lotions and. whenever
possible, large hats.
Many of the leading cosmetic
manufacturers have very good
lotions and creams that do offer
this protection. Nothing of this
kind will act as a permanent
preventive but when applied
frequently during the day or
every time the skin is exposed
10 the sun the result will be
quite satisfactory.
1t is not only at the beach
that these fair-Skinned beauties
must cope with Old Sol. Driving
against the wind, or even walk
ing in the spring sunlight will
produce fine crop of the little
beauty spots.
You may be surprised to know
that some girls love their
freckles. They feel that only a
very delicate high grade skin
will react in this way 10 sun
exposure. They think of it as a
kind Of distinction and we be-
lieve they are very clever in
accepting gracefully what can't
be prevented.
Skin Peel
Every one knows that a skin
peel will remove freckles as it
also removes the thin, outer
layer of the tissue. But even
when free Of such polka dots.
they may be sure the fresh,
beautiful, new skin will again
freckle at first exposure to sun.
The only time we would APP
prove of such treatment is in
the late fall when outing days
are over. At that time, nature
herself will see that freckles
fade out.
Girls who have frequent
facialS and do their skin cream
ing every night will have less
freckles than the ones who just
leave everything TO nature.
Cream and light manipulation
will sometimes remove freckles
as they appear
The action Of the sun that
