May Break Records "Pig-iron output is crowding close up to high record figures, but all be cause of the prodigious demand for steel. In July the merchant furnaces, due to the poor working of some and the blowing out of several, made less iron than,in June. Most of the fur naces now out will require higher prices to bring them into action. The country's July pig-iron produc tion was 2,563,420 tons or 82,691 tons a day. The steel companies are now close to their maximum pig-tron ca pacity. They made 62,895 tons a day in July, or 3 900 tons more than the daily average in June. In only four previous months—January, February, April and May, 1913 —was the produc tion of steel works furnaces greater than last month's. Many More Furnaces In Blast Sixteen more furnaces were in blast on August 1 than on July I—a1 —a total of with a dally capacity of 86,776 against 218 furnaces and 80,411 tons a day. Thus production to-day is at the rate of 32,000,000 tons a year, against 18,000,000 tons January t< The greatest year's total was 31,-1 300,000 tons in 1913. "In steel products the week hasj been quieter. Most domestic consum ers are apparently covered for several months and there is little or no pro tective buying. But the action Of the billet market, particularly in the East, | is not viewed with equanimity. At S3O and higher in eastern Pennsyl-j vania for rolling billets, semifinished ] steel is above the level of some fin-1 ished products. "The bewildering feature of the Eastern billet market is the rapid ad vance in the past three weeks from s2l, at which some recent purchases ware made by th Steel Corporation. Yet billet sellers have little steel to sell for this year, and in the Central West the shortage in open-hearth steel grows more acute. "At the same time bars for _ war purposes have ranged from 2.5 c to 3.25 c. Various new inquiries for rounds have come up, including one for 16,000 tons of forging rounds at Cleveland."

"TRUTH SHOI'LD HE CLOTHED," BRITISH STEAMSHIP SINK Inspired by the film "Hypocrites" now being shown at the Regent Thea ter, and which Is being condemned and likewise praised from every sta tion of life, the Rev. J. Whitcomb Brougher, of New York City, recently enacted the role of "Gabriel" in ode livering a sermon on "Hypocrites" at the Temple Baptist Church. In criticis ing the picture, he said: ''To-day, as In ages past, hypocrites are to be found in every department of life. A photoplay called "Hypocrites" is being exhibited in our city at the present time. It contains some very strong lessons for the hypocrites of Los Angeles. If we could get all the hypo crites of our city to go see the picture I ain sure they would be benefited. "The movie exposes hypocrisy in pol itics. society, business, the home, the church, love and religion. I think that the author was mistaken though when he thought that the 'Naked Truth' could be best presented by a beautiful young woman appearing in the nude covered with a sort of cloudy haze or mist. I believe that 'Truth' could he strongly presented by the same heautlful young woman modestly dressed. Truth ought to be clothed and have a strong, beau tiful. pure, sweet face—resplendent In the clear light and not be ashamed to be seen by any one. The play demon strates that not many people want to hear or know the truth. Yet the au thor has symbolized 'Truth' In such a /orm that the vulgar, curious crowd flock to get a chance to see her. The play, itself, Is a form of hypocrlcy. The author, no doubt aims to do good, but his real purpose is to draw a crowd and get the money. He knew that 'Truth' would never attract unless it appealed to the sensual and sensational in human nature. "I believe It will do some good to the mature hypocrites of the commu nity. but I do not believe It contains any lessons needed by our young peo ple."
