RECOVERY SHOWN INSTEEL ACTIVITY Plants in Cleveland Area In- crease Operations to 77 Per Cent. PR By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, January 7.—There is & new pillar of smoke in the flats district of Cleveland today. There is a maelstrom of scorch- ing heat beneath that smoke, and a radiant aura few men can face. ® The thifi of the four blast fur- naces of the Corrigan-McKinney Steel Co. is hot end getting hotter: but it takes a couple of days to get a blast furnace hot enough to use. It also takes several hundred dol- lars, for lighting a blast furnace is far different from stoking the house- hold heating system. That is why the lighting of a blast furnace is @ business index. Turning on the heat means there is need for iron and steel. Already the flats are gray with smoke by day, and at night there are rolling waves of red light across the horizon. Thirteen of Corrigan-McKinney's 14 open hearths are bordered with flame. The Otis Steel Co.’s Riverside plant has one of its two blast fur- naces and all eight of its open hearths in action, an At Otis’ Lakeside plant, the sched- ule s 72 per cent, mainly because it takes steel to make automobiles. Steel works operations in the Cleve- land district have jumped 16 points within a week to 77 per cent of rated capacity. And while the clanking of heavy machinery and the sharp insistent toot of whistles resound across the «flats, the third furnace at Corrigan- McKinney is having the “chill” ®taken off. Old railroad ties were cross stacked in the wide, clumsy looking shaft of the furnace. Oil waste was piled on top. and then the coke. The first flames were coaxed by an easy breeze from the compressed air blowers, and now the air blast is stronger and the heat is searing. Soon heavy-muscled men will clam- ber about the blackened structure and WooDWARD 0™ II™F aND G StrezTs Heads College BECOMES PRESIDENT AT 33 YEARS OF AGE.

Well-to-do mothers are just as much in need of education in the upbringing of their children as poor mothers, and there is little difference between the ab- sence of knowledge of mothers in the two classes, he added. & LoTrHrOP Prione District S300 Fine Hudson Seal Coats (dyed muskrat) REDUCED Coats from our regular stock—which means excel- lence on three counts: In the furs themselves, the styling, and the workmanship.
