NEW YORK R-Steelmen are
beginning to wonder If that ex-
pected order pickup is going to
come in February after all. Or
win 1t be put off until March?
Their customers seem to have
much fatter inventory Of steel
than steelmen had counted upon
in their earlier predictions. The
steel mills have made this same
error Of Understanding their Gus
toners supplies before.
The big steel strike Of 1852
showed that. Customers didn't
have to shut down their plants
for lack of steel, in any such num-
bers as the steel companies had
supposed when the strike began.
Metal users may have scraped
the barrel for supplies, but most
Of them kept on going during the
strike. Their stocks proved fatter
than either the mills or the gov
eminent control agencies had sup
posed.
When consumers started living
off inventories late last year, steel
companies widely predicted that
by now most of them would have
to start ordering again. But 50
far the orders haven't poured IN
as expected.
One thing that could change this
picture quickly would be = threat
Of new steel strike. Most Of the
steel companies win be negotiat-

But IL strike-hedge buying should
be added to this hoped-for spring
buying upturn, steel business could
look pretty good during the first
hall.
The steel unions are expected
this year to intensity their bid for
Ia guaranteed annual wage. And
the companies are expected to be
tougher to deal with this year, with
demand less urgent and produc-
|tion nearer the break-eyen point.
The easing in demand is 4 fac
tor in itself in the delay In placing
new orders, some steelmen point
out. They note that deliveries can
be made fairly promptly now on
most products. Steel users don't
have to order 50 far in advance
any more.
And the consumers feel safer IN
holding off orders while they get
"a closer look at their own produc-
ton and sales prospects.
Steel production capacity has
been mushrooming since the war.
even faster than the growth in
population. In 1899 the nations
Isteel-making capacity amounted TO
about 100 pounds per person. II
is now about 1900 pounds per per-
son.
The American Iron & Steel In
stitute rates the nations capacity
now at better than ia million tons
ID year. Last year the industry
turned out . record lila million
met tons, or an estimated a per
cent Of the output Of the entire
world.
Right now output is running wen
below capacity. Steelmen still are
confident that some Of this slack
win be taken up either next month,
|or the following.
They reason that sooner or later
steel consumers win get to the
end of their current inventory ad-
justments and start ordering again.

GOOD LOOKING POLITICIANS

The Republican Party's National Chairman, Leon
ard w Hall, has up with some advice to would-be
politicians DE says recent elections have proved voters
today want candidates who can put their personalities
over well on television screens.
The Republican National Chairman says it helps
the politicians are good looking, and explains that
modern communications media are changing political
campaign techniQues
This appraisal, with which we are in general agree
ment makes it probable that the field of politics will
attract more erstwhe gamor boys than heretofore We
have no particular objections to this except that the
trend might spread to the opposite and we might
soon find ourselves witnessing keen competition from
members Of the fairer to attract votes The more we
think about this the interesting it becomes and
the ladies might be able to put on quite show.
Whether the candidate is male or female however,
appears that good technique is going to be
one Of the major necessary qualifications for successful
politicians in the future and those who seek to achieve
success in do well to start brushing up their
camera technique.

Typs Of Building
The detention building must be
home-like but it must also have
fo0lproof security features. Fix
lures and furniture should not be
LOT the type used in jail cells but
they must be durable.
The building should be small,
light and cheerful and easy to
maintain. Individual sleeping
rooms are essential, out common
activity area fo- boys and girls has
proved to be satisfactory.
Racial segregation can be effect
ed by placing activity and sleeping
quarter areas for white and negro
children On opposite sides Of the
building. Reception and kitchen
facilities serve both groups.
The detention home has four
areas; az a reception
area for receiving children and for
police and probation interview; (2)
segregated sleeping quarters for
boys and girls; (3) an activity
area with separate space for quiet,
rumpus, school and hobby activi-
ties arranged to provide maximum
individual control, and an outdoor
|fenced-in play area; a. q service
area for dining. kitchen, mainten-
|ance and laundry.
Residence staff quarters for a
couple should be included in this
small, family type detention home.
An interview room may be also
used for a medical examining room
with scales and examining tables
stored IN the closet when not in
use. Closet and storage space
should be ample.
