in handling.
"Gustave Courbet," by Gerstle
Mack (Knopf). is the first full

the 10th century French realist
who was regarded in his day as
a revolutionist. The authors de-
finitive biographies of -Cezanne
and TOulouSe-Lautrec U935 and
1889 demonstrated his inexhaust-

he bases his conclusions and
narrative on original sources.
Much of his material in "Courbet"
is derived from letters and other
documents, many heretofore un-
published. which are preserved in
the Bibliotheque Rationale in
Paris.

A new approach to Marc

the literature on this artist, for
it emphasizes the Jewish rationale
behind his works and interprets

A Varied Bill of Fare
To Suit Many Tastes
And there have been absorbing
stories from such diverse authors
as the Duke of Windsor and Ethel

This is not by any means in
dicative of the whole menu, but
the diversity of the fare means
there will be something found to
suit every taste.

greatest popular interest, perhaps,
has been in the Duke of Windsor's

The first is the story of grow

 BUSINESS TRIP

Aaron Wise, general superintend- ent and purchasing agent for the Posey Manufacturing Company of Hoquiam. Wash, is in Juneau where he has been comforting with U. s. Forest Service officials and lumber men.
 Posey Manufacturing Company primarily manufactures sounding boards for pianos and uses between four and five million board feet of Sitka spruce year in the process. Thc7 are the largest such manufac- tl'-f IS in the world, supplying r. cticaliy every piano company in iIe country.
 Wise said they uFc only the higher type, clear grained lumber ard the company maintains two mer in Alaska at all times at var ious mills who grade and select suitable spruce. Tn the manufacture, the lumber iS cut into sections and dric1 down until it contains only aboat two percent moisture. Each SC asion, when assembled, is matched for color and grain and, Wise said, ligh5 grain wood is generally pre- ferred for sounding boards.
 Posey Company moved to Hoq- uiam in 1903 from California. Wise has been with the company for B years.
 Average capacity of his plant runs between i2 and 15 million board feet pec year. They turn out approximately 5000 sounding boards per year and also supply sounding boards for guitars and mandolins. Most of the spruce is supplied by Washington, Oregon and British Columbia mills but Wise pointed out that they are looking forward to importing even greater quantities from Alaska. In this connection he is stopping in Wrangell briefly to inquire into the possibilities of a mill being started | in that town. He will leave Juneau
 on the Denali Sunday. | Another product of importance produced by bis company are glued- up table tops for various furniture manufacturers.

.S4OO Million Plant
In East Pennsylvania
Started by U. 5. Steel
BY the Associated Press

MORRISVILLE. Pa, Mar. o.
Construction of a $400 million steel
plant was started yesterday in a
rain-swept, muddy field.
Benjamin F.. Fairless, president
of United States Steel Corp,
turned the first shovelful of earth
for the mill that will bear his
name.
And as 600 guests watched
from beneath a green and white
striped tent. four bulldozers
started fattening the land.
Tract Covers 5000 Acres.
Some units of the mill will be
in operation this year. U. s. Steel
worlds largest steelmaker, hopes
to complete the Fairless works by
the end of 1852. 1t is situated on
"a 3,900-acre tract of rich farm
land across the Delaware River
from Trenton, N. j.. and only 80
miles north of industrial Phila-
delphia.
The weather dampened neither
the spirit nor the scope of the
ceremonies. From the tent visit
ing officials could see far across
the plant site, already cleared of
farm buildings.
Mr.. Fairless welded the STAIN
less steel spade that set the con-
Struction work in motion. Steam
shoyels stood ready to follow the
bulldozers.
U. S. Steel's president hailed
the mill as the largest steelmaking
unit ever to be built in America
at one time. And he pointed out
that it's location has both inter-
national and historical sig
nificance.
Produced for 1776.
This Bucks County section
helped produce the iron and steel
for the weapons used by Gen
George Washington's Continental
Army in 1776.
Mr.. Fairless said it is mot only
fitting but indeed significant that
the iron and steel industry should
return today to its historic home
at time when "our liberties again
are threatened"
This first U. S. Steel mill on
the East Coast will supply the
Middle Atlantic and New England
markets.
When completed the Fairless
Works will have capacity for 1.s
million ingot tons annually. 1t
will be able to produce a wide
range of finished steel products,
including bars, standard pipe,
rods, hot and cold rolled sheets
and strip, and tinplate.
