BETHLEHEM STEEL
LAYS PLANS ROR
NEW PEACE WORK
Head of Groat Industry Prom
ises Permanent Prosperity
in Allentown Speech
Allentown. Pa.. Dec. 15—Perwa- |
nent prosperity for the Lehigh Val
ley through the medium of the Reth
leliem Steel Company as a founda
tion was virtually promised Thurs
day night by Eugene G. Grace, pres- I
ident of the Bethlehem Company, in j
an address at the annual dinner of ,
the Allentown Chamber of Com- I
meree. His statement, supplement- j
ed in a measure by an address de
livered by Mr. Schwab himself, was
that while Jlethlehem is working
now on war materials, it is designed
to be employed to the top of its
capacity on peace work, and that
it will be so employed.
"Bethlehem has contracts for more
torpedoboat destroyers than there
are in the whole world to-day," said
Mr. Grace, explaining his remark
that the destroyer was being de
pended upon to cope with the sub
marine. "Bethlehem is making steel
for every torpedo the government
has under contract."
Optimistic as to Future
As to the future or the company t
when war orders cease. Mr. Grace I
was frankly optimistic. He told of !
the company's decision to place the j
headquarters of the Bethlehem en- .
terprises in Bethlehem itself, so that ,
sales of ships will be made in Beth- ,
'ehem and not in New York or else- j
where. "We'd actually launch ships j
here if the water were deep enough,"
he laughingly added.
"As to the future of our plants, j
which now employ 30,000 hands j
against 8.000 three years ago. let
me say that every extension we have j
made "has been with a view to per- !
inanence: every building erected has 1
been a permanent building. When !
peaces comes all this capacity will i
He employed upon other work, and i
it will be employed, or Mr. Schwab
will get a new organization."
"When the Liberty Bonds came
out I bought pretty freely." said Mr.
Schwab. "I went to the president
of the Equitable Trust Company, in
Xew York. Mr. Krech, and told him
1 wanted to borrow $2,000,000. I
had to pay for the bonds. He didn't
look exactly favorable, an'd finally j
he said: . , . i
" 'But, Charley, you rflready have
a loan of $2,000,000 here.' 'Oh. hell.' j
1 said. 'I had forgotten about that.' "
Duty of American Citizens j
From Liberty Bonds Mr. Schwab:
passed to the duty of American citi- |
zens in this time of trial, making an i
earnest plea for an enlightened
Americanism that will make every
man do his part for the country. j
In a reminiscent way he talked of ,
his views on the relations between |
man and man. and the hitherto arti- !
tlcial distinctions of aristocracy. The !
new aristocracy, he said, would be •
made up of those who do things and |

Why Go Away
With Printing?
It would be folly to send
i to a distant city for water when
it is here in abundance; it would
be unwise to suffer delay and in
convenience in an effort to pro
cure any commodity that is
yours by the simple reaching out
and taking hold.
From a slightly differ
ing view-point it is also true that
you invite delay and disappoint
ment, with no saving in money
value by going out of town with I
your printing.
Jt has been proven so
often that wise business men
save postage, telegraph or tele
phone tolls and are able to keep
in personal touch with their
order.

J said about Friend Tobacco, a man'
! who was a big leaguer from top toj
' toe, no less than Charles Kingsley,!
j author of "Westward Ho," end a'
' dozen other ripping good novels. Wei
! would take Charles Kingsley's word
about a serious matter like tobacco i
j a mighty sight quicker than tliei
mountings of old King James, the,
' saza'oo who was lucky to be on the
I throne when England and Scotland
| got handcuffed.
What must that tough old inon-
I arch have been supplied with when
ihe would say this: "The tobacco
! habit Is a custom loathsome to the
eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to
1 the brain, dangerous to the lungs,
and in the black stinking fiunej
; thereof nearest resembling the hor-l
i rible Stygian smoke of the pit that j
j is bottomless. •James probably neveri
1 smoked anything but cabbage loaves, j
' and it is admitted that foreign to
bacco is far inferior to the native |
stuff raised in old Virginia.
Poor James; what a reception lie:
would receive to-day over on the!
front, if he pulled 'his twaddle. As
a matter of fact he made a narrow,
gauge king and nobody trusted h'm.
so his estimate of tobacco i# njt
worth a puff. But Charles Kingsley, j

from an honest grocer, without
counting it. He tells the real story
of soldier's smokes, a friend, food,
