Market Square w Un ® M 9 ' 3o STEELTON AND MILLS NOW HAVE 10 MONTHS'WORK Plants Book Business Enough to Bun Uninterruptedly Far Into 1917 Pig iron rather than steel has been the market leader of the week, saya the Iron Age to-day. "The spectacular orders for shell and other war steel, with deliveries running six to ten months ahead, hav ing been put on producers' books, in terest in the steel trade centers on the balancing of supply and demand in the domestic market for the first half of 1917. Yet it is evident that the Allies want much more steel from the United States. Producers have been solicited again in the past week, in dragnet letters, to say what rounds or rounded billets they could furnish, •with what deliveries and at what prices. "Many orders now on the books of leading steel companies for this year's delivery must go over to 1917. Weeks of almost unbroken hot weather have aggravated an oversold condition, and consumers have not yet felt the full effect of this excep tional curtailment. "There are eigne in the building trade that the high prices of steel have now fastened themselves in buy ers' minds as likely to last longer than was counted on only lately. "Work is to go forward, for example, on hotels at Washington and Balti more, requiring about 8,000 tons, and at St. Louis on a building calling for 6,500 tons. The American Bridge Company has the contract for 10,000 to 12,000 tons for new Carnegie mill buildings in the Youngstown district. "Car rebuilding is a factor, rather than new car orders, 25,000 to 30,000 tons of eteel being wanted for the former. The St. Paul is considering 6,000 new cars, and the Pennsylvania Railroad has ordered 11,000 tons of plates and 4,000 tons of shapes for car building." Storm Does Much Damage; Barn at Bressler Burns Much damage to property and ma chinery was done ty yesterday's storm. At Bressler lightning struck a stable owned by Richard Brown and the fire which followed completely destroyed the structure. The loss amounted to several hundred dollars.

Harrisburg has at least one safety first automobile driver and owner. His name Is J. L. Cunningham, and he is Master Mechanic of the Philadelphia division of the Pennsylvania railroad. The theory that this official practices is said to be a sure guarantee against accidents. The way he does it Is to plan a complete schedule for every trip he makes. No matter how far Master Mechanic Cunningham travels he had a schedule to follow. He claims that Joy rides are safe when this plan Is followed. "Don't try to beat the schedule. Just keep up with the figures, fix a time limit per mile and allow for stopping places, and you will always arrive safely at your destination. Inspect the machine before starting the same as you do a big locomotive," said Mr. Cunning ham. Yesterday he came from Wilming ton, Del., with three passengers in his car. Because of road building along the route followed It was hard work AUGUST 24, 1916. keeping: up the schedule and the dis tance covered was longer than the schedule called for. Just like a divi sion time table was yesterday's trip followed. Here is a sample of what this official docs when he takes auto mobile trips: Bring Oat Yoar Hidden Beauty Beneath that soiled, discolored, faded or aged complexion Is one fair to look upon.

The Vossische Zeitung publishes an interview with Captain Paul Koenig of the Deutsch land, who expresses appreciation of the attitude of the United States gov ernment in taking every necessary measure to prevent violation of neu trality in connection with the depart ure of the submarine. SCHOOL BEGINS AUGUST 28th Day and Evening Sessions The Office Training School, Kauf man Building, 4 S. Market Square, will begin the Fall Term next Mon day, August 28th, in both Day School and Night School. From one hundred and fifty to two hundred young people will discover this year that the management of this school has been talking to them for their advantage. They will enter the school, stay for a few months and acquire the training which will even tually place them in high-salariei} of fice positions. In the teaching of pupils, It is the aim of The Office Training School to give each pupil such a mastery of the basic principles of the subject he or she is studying that nervousness can not be felt in regard to that subject for the simple reason that it is so thor oughly well mastered. A student grilled on this plan has a wonderful competitive advantage, as probably nine-tenths of positions lost are lost through nervousness not per mitting the otherwise capable appli cant from making the demonstration ho or she should, and of which they are quite capable.—Advertisement.
