| PIG IRON OUTPUT SHOWS BIG GAIN Production Best in Two Years- Prices Lower New York, Nov, 17.—~Plg iron pro- @uction In October gives a good gauge of the rapid plcking up of the indus. try after ‘the coal strike, says Tron Age in its Tron Market Bummary is. nued yesterday. There was a gain of 25 per cent, over the September rate Aand more blast furnaces are active to- dayethan at any. time since Decem- ber, 1920, Tn the 81 days of October the country produced 2,637,844 tons of pig dron, or 85,092 tons a day, agalvst 2,083,720 tons in September, or 67, 791 tons a day. The steel companies increased their output 12,200 tons a day over the September rate and the merchant furnaces gained £,100 tons A day, the largest Increase for them in many months. The Stéel Corporation made a net gain of six In active furnaces last month, the independent steel com- panies a gain of 14 and the mer- chant furnaces a gain of ninc—a total of 26, On Nov. 1, the capacity of the 218 furnaces in blast was 87,- 9§36 tons a day, against 77,005 tons & day for 180 furnaces on Oct. 1. Steel Output Jumps. Apparently the increase in steel outpur has corresponded to that in pig iron and the steel companies are operating this week at full 76 per cent. of capacity. With the rate of pig iron production today close to 82,000,000 tons a year, steel ingot production {s probubly not far from 38,000,000 tons a year. The effect of this increased ontput on prices of both pig iron and fin- {ehed steel, is being watched closely by both buyers and sellers. In par- ticular, attentionsis being directed to the Steel Corporation's decision, looked for this week, on sheet and tin plate prices for the first quarter of 1928. Theer has been an expectation of some advance about $4.756 per base box for tin plate_and above $3.35 for No. 28 black sheets. This week the effect of the decline to $38 for sheet bars is having consideration. Plans of canmakers for the first half of 1923 will call for large shipments of tin plates. Recent price conecessions have not stimulated buying in the pig iron market and even the 825 price on Alabama lron has resulted in few gales. The trend is still downward. The Iron Age pig iron composite has again fallen, being now $28.86 compared with $32.64 at the end of Beptember. One year ago it was un- der $20. WOMEN ARE URGED TO SMOKE PIPES English Physicians are Encouraging i Feminine Sex, Who Must Use " Tebacco, to Drop Cigarettes. London, Nov. 17.—English phy- piclans are urging women who are dddicted to smoking, to use a pipe and good tobacco instead of the cigarette. The doctors point out that the nicotiné found - in the cheaper brands of cigarettes is much more in- jurious to women than to men, and they déclare that the perfumes and scents used in brands prepared for the fair sex also are injurious. Two recent deaths of women have been attributed directly to clgarette smoking. While these cases have been due to excessive smoking, the rhysiclans say that the same amount of pipe smoking porbably would not have had fatal results. Smoking among women in London | 18 now almost universal, and one rare- 1y goes to a theater, dance or res- taurant where the majority of the women present are not smoking. Recently two young women ap- peare] at an athletic meet smoking pipes, and many of the fashionable; shops of Bond street have exhibited stocks of pipes designed for the fem- inine smoker, However, the innova- tlon has made little progress , and cigarettes are still the favorite. Tokio, Nov. 17.——Authorities in the department of agriculture and com- merce call attention to the rapidity with which the Southern Sea Islands are rising to prominénce as a market for Japanese staple products. Ac- cording to the returns officlally pub- lished by the department, Japan's trade with the islands which aggre- gated 104,000,000 yen in 1913, in- creased to 380,000,000 yen in 1920, Prior to the world war, Britain oc- cupied the most predominant position in the South Seas market with her trade returns aggregating in 1914 something 1ike 43,000,000 pounds, fol- lowed by America with $86,000,000 and Japan with 74,000,000 men. After the war America came to the front with $500,000,000 {n 1920, followed by Japan with 300,000,000 yen and Brit- ain with 90,000,000 pounds. Compared with America, Japan is behind but it s pointed out by au- thorities that the American trade is largely in imports whereas Japan's trade is generally attended with an excess of export over import. TEACHERS AND REPORTERS Tokio, Nov. 17.-~Newspaper work and teaching would appear to be the choice of Japanese naval officers next to their own - calling. Enquiries made by the navy department of of- ficers to be discharged under the naval reduction plan as to what work they would like to take upon leaving the navy showed that journalism and teaching were the favorites. NEW BRITAIN DAILY' HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1922, ROLLER BEARING ON SWEDISH TRAINS Definite Orders to Such an Effect Have Been Tssued by the State Rallways, Btockhold, Nov, 17—The uee in Bweden of roller Learings for the Wheels of rallroad cars, passenger and freight, has been inaugurated by the lssuance of definite orders to the state rallways, What promises to be o boon to rallroads and travelers the world over, and the possible develop- ment of & manufacturing industry of large proportions, is foreseen, The' system of roller bearings as now perfected is the result of years of experiment and research In Swedon | and elsewhere, The solution of the, problem has been hastened because | of the growing need of finding some way to reduce the expense of rall- | read operation. A saving of about| 15 per cent In eoal, together with n! reduction of personnel and a con servation of equipment, will become| feasible by the installation of roller| Learings. Travelers will benefit be.| cunse’ the elimination of friction| means more smoothness and less nolse in the running of trains Tt is| thought also that passengers and| freight rates may be lowered as a re- | sult of the new economy in operation The new bearings are barrel-| shaped and roll freely hetween the shaft and the runway, thus being a cross between ball bearings and the old-faghioned roller bearings. The Swedish company which manufac- tures these bearings reports that the JESSE L.LASKY PRESENTS Pennsylvania rallroad has been mak- ing experiments for some time with a view to their adoption, POETICAL PROPESSOR Launches Into Verse to Stress Im. portance of Woods to the Human Race.
