Joe Vogel (we do not hesitate to call him Joe for short) defeated Mrs. Mary Nelson for the dishwashing rhamnionsthip. Her record was 200 dirty dishes in 15 minutes. Vogel's new record was the same number in 13 minutes and 19 seconds by the kitchen alarm clock. This record has stood for two long years and the residents of Clark Station anxious to have it broken. Whether or not there was dry egg on the plates is not known but it is presumed that they were dirtied at an ordinary noon meal as the dishwashing festival usually takes place in the, afternoon.

Pittsburg, Aug. 13. The finished product mills are discovering this month that the high records made during the June rush in steel are not

unbeatable. It has been so long since the steel trade had a genuine test of Its maximum capacity that production has exceeded preliminary estimates with surprising ease on every hand. The country is making steel at a rate probably 2,000,000 tons a year better than general estimates pronounced the maximum capacity to be six months ago. Notwithstanding unprecedented out

puts per unit of production, the mills are universally behind in deliveries. This condition is most serious In the plate and structural divisions of the industry, in which deliveries have become so uncertain as to seriously interfere with the carrying out of contracts on large undertakings. It is suspected also that the pipe milsl have loaded up wjth more specifications for third quarter shipment than they will be able to make deliveries on, particularly since the reservations made early in the summer for heavy line pipe are being generally exceeded by the pipe line v companies. The overspecif ying on these contracts is understood to have been the " explanation for the unheralded advance In prices on large size pipe and oil country supplies on August 1. Consumers of pig Iron seem to have been seized simultaneously wlthfears of an . impending . advance In Iron prices, for practically all the heavy consumers in this district entered the market with the first few days of this month.
