RECORD STEEL MARK FAILS TO MEET DEMANDS

NEW’ YORK Jan. 2.—(UP)America's dynamic steel industry produce*! more steel in 1955 than ever before in history, bit consumers clamored for more. Steel-spewing furnaces turned out a fantastic 116.000.000 tons ;n 1955 but this was gobbled nr> immediately by companies making everything from hairpins to skyscrapers. The Dooming automotive and construction industries were in the vanguard of this mad scramble for steel that sent order backlogs zooming. Industry spokesmen expect no letup in the tight steel supply-de-mand picture at least through the first halt of 1956. Officially, steel men are reluctant to extend their glowing predictions beyond the half-year-mark. Unofficially, however, many expect 1956 to be on a par or possibly greater than 1955. Production during the past >ear easily exceeded 1953, the best previous year in history when 111,600.000 tons were pro-

duced.

Output in 1955 ran some 29,000.000 tons ahead of 1954 —a recession year one of the biggest year-to-year gains in history. The almost insatiable demand for steel produced some nifty earnings reports and led to higher dividend disbursements. But it also gave the industry some man-sized operating headaches. It did one other things, too. It convinced even the most conservative in ihe steel ranks of the pressing need to expand capacity. Iron Age, the authoritative trade journal, predicted the in-

FAIRLY SPOKEN Wash Day Was Harsh Before Machine Age By Margaret Latrobe G?ntlemen hstorians are apt to tell you that the discovery of the wheel, back in the Bronze Age. marked man’s first important distinction between the hard way and the easy way. But you have only the men's word for it. I say the invention of the automatic washing machine rates higher than the wheel in easing the toil of womankind There are still plenty of Monday morning wash days being conducted down by the brook, with nothing resembling spinflow rinses, liquid bleach and self-polishing starch. Two stones and a strong back, and Mamma has had it for that week’s family bundle of laundry. While the sun does its quaint work of drying the duds, these innocent ladies gossip, laugh and sing together with not so much as a pocket radio tuned in on a laundry soap opera. Shucks, these girls are loafers compared to a-farm wife’s Monday chores before the liberating influence of spin-dry washers. It could rain on Tuesday, but not Monday. If Mother seemed a bit preoccupied during Sunday night church services she eer-

•jtfnlv was not reviewing her =ins. but mentally counting -ocka. diapers and sheets in the morrow's heavy wa~h. Mcvtday morning needed no rooster's reveille. for Dad was setting up the big black kettle in the yard long before a chicken crowed. The bovs drew gallon upon gallon of ice cold well water, filled the kettle, and sat down to breakfast. This first meal of the week was sketchy—nothing more than red meat in its own gravy, sausage, a platter of eggs for each end of the table, hot biscuits, griddle cakes, corn gems, Damson plum preserves, a few jellies, and a big bowl of oatmeal for each of the eight children. While the hired girl, if any. did the dishes and re-set the ta-ble for noonday dinner, the men and “hands” headed for the barn and field. Then Mother began the ritual of “putting out the wash.” Homemade lye soap the color of amber was dissolved in the boiling water and the white linens immersed. Table cloths four yards long must have been sheer agony to "do up.” After all, there might be fifteen sitting down for thVee meals every blessed day not counting the Sabbath when the preacher and fourteen assorted relatives dined at the first table, with children feasting on the wings and drumsticks at the second. What plastic table mats would have done for those housewives is poignant to contemplate. While the white stuff was rinsed, blued and starched, presoaked overalls began their stint. And finally there billowed from the clotheslines a sparkling Mon- \ day’s work. If Mother, proud and exhausted. seemed a bit preoccupied during supper it was because she was mentally counting irons to be heated on the wood stove in the morning. As we leave this laborious wash day, let us not forget the gent wh'o thought up electric irons, driers and dacron. The wheel, gentlemen, was a neat idea—but you can have it. My vote is for him who took the shudder out of Monday.
