BUSINESS AND THE-OUTLOOK.
Philadelphia Record.
I The opening weeks of the new year
' show a further broadening of business
i en the same conservative lines indicated
i in the closing weeks of the old year. So
[ far there arc no signs that Wall Street's
remarkable upward swing, sustained for
so long a period, is a forerunner of a
| similar movement in industry and trade. |
I It has been noted that the steel market
1 appears to be in a between-seasons j
| period. The transactions of November'
and December, looking forward to the
present quarter, took care of buyers' re
quirements and furnished ■he -basas for
j mill operfftions.* which have been snp
, plemented by purchases ror me rail
roads and for fabricated steel in building
operations. Steel mill operations are be
\ lieved to’ be in excess of 85 per cent, of
i capacity, which compares very favor
ably with the average of (18 per cent, in
11)25 and 80 per cent, in 11)2:1.
Notwithstanding this great, incease in
production over the dull midsummer,
when the average, fell to 41 per cent.,
the steel market continues i datively
| quiet. This is in pursuance of the pretty
i well-festab’idled practice of piecemeal
1 buying, with frequent replenishments as
Seeded instead of making larger and
longer commitments. With the mills pro
ducing at a high average anil the rail
roads functioning splendidly on deliver
ies there seems to be no occasion for
carrying large stocks on hand.
| The automobile industry, for in
stance, which used to carry large sup
plies, now holds limited stocks ot ma
te-rials anil gets its steel ns needed. A<l
- vices from Detroit indicate that the
automobile monufucturers arc not look-
I’ ing forward to a larger output this, year
than in 1024 and that with price-cut
ting competition is likely to be severe.
The commercial reports show general'
progress. Dun's says that developments
of a constructive nature still pre
dominate,’ and various statistical records
hear out the other evidences of a
| forward trend in both domestic ntisi
) ness and in foreign trade. Preliminary
j figures show' that foreign commerce'
[ of the United States hist year, measured
j in terms of value, was the third largest
I on record. Only in 1920 and 1019 were
| higher totals reached, and the so-called
I favorable trade balance in 1924 exceed
ed $975,000,000. This represents the ex-
I coss of merchandise exports over im
ports. the former approximating $4,-
I 588,000.000 and the latter, $3,611,000,- I

Frieda Hempcl Giveif Great Ovation in
- London.
Literary Digest.
An amusing postwar, conflict .has just
ended in an armistice in England. Two
American singers, on born in Germany,
the other in Italy, recently took Great
Britain as a battleground, and with their
notes stirred up the British sidelines in
to a veritable conflict of bitter judgment.
Which was the better singer, they asked
themselves, Galli Curci or Frieda Hem-
Sides were taken, tongues wagged,
pens flowed, until Mr. Punch stepped in
to try to settle the matter. To stolid
omtisders it might seem no more solvable
than to decide which was better, a peach
or a pear. The critic of The Daily
Mail thought Madame Heuipel “the more
finished singer" with a “greater musical
range.” Madame Galli Curci is de
scribed as “the more typiealy Italian
singer,” with her "crystal Clear, ‘whitish’
tones.” Outside London, where concerts
are perhaps less frequent and various, the
battle took on more fervor. Thus the
Liverpool Post:
"To hear on consecutive Sundays two
singers of the foremost rank, each rep
resentative of one of the broad divisions
of the world of song, has been of more
than common interest. Tl)is afternoon
Frieda Hempcl was singing at the Albert
Hall, where Mndame Galli Curci sang it
week ago. and sang better than on her
■j first appearance. The latter represents
not merely Italy but the whole art of the
south, whilst the coloring of Frieda Hem
pel’s voice has the mellower coloring of
the north. Os the two she is the richer
in those emotional, not to say senti
men, inflections which to our taste con
stitute the human us distinct from the
purely instrumental aspect of singing.
“Very few Italian singers could edn
ivey as much by coloring alone as Frieda
I Heuipel dkl today, especially in Loewe’s
j charming song. Each line of the play
ful poem claimed its own shading, and
] the whole giving had an irrideseeue
! which is very different from the hard
brilliance of Italian singing. At the.
I same time this wonderful singer is at
least technically quite at home when in
vading Italian territory as in ‘Ernani
Involami.’ There, perhaps, one misses
j that peculiar soulless metallic, luster that
I belongs to the south, but musically this
kind of performance does not compare
'with the other for interest .and Miss
Hempel would lose none of her hold upon
us if she dropped it altogether. Still,
she elects to do it, and does it with vast
ly more success than the Italian could
achieve upon a counter invasion.”
Such is the inborn love of New Zeal

THE RURAL MAIL SERVICE
Ftw institution* in the history of
American progress can be credited with
a more salutary effect upon the mafch of
that progress than the rural mail services
of the post office department.
No other single instrumentality has
done more than the rural mail service to
ward “bringing the city to the country,”
and relieving the prosaic existence of
farm life, or has been as effective in es
tablishing closer contact between the
farmer and his markets. It has been
the most important factor in making ag
riculture an exacting business instead of
its one-time precarious classification
which conveyed no broader meaning than
"tilling the spil.”
Twenty-nine years; ago the farmer and
his wife and children led an existence of
almost complete isolation, living upon
widely scattered farms, some of them
miles apart. . They had comparatively
little communication with their neigh
bors or the outside world, except that de
rived from weekly trips to the adjacent
village. More often than not the farmer
lost a full day's work and his crops were
neglected in order to obtain expected mail
at the village post office.
In those days the farmers’ mail con
sisted largely of communications from
relatives and friends. Today the daily
mail includes, usilaly on the very date of
publication, the metropolitan newspaper,
containing market reports and agricul
tural news; the weekly and monthly
farm journals and magazines, and busi
ness letters from the village merchant
and the more pretentious establishment!
in the distant city. All of these are
now brought to his door or to the box
a few yards away.
The rural carrier is the. farmer's post
office and his agent. Through him he
conducts transactions for the sale of his
livestock, grain, and other farm produce:
From him he buys stamps and pays
his bills by postal money order. In
short, the letter carrier is the medium
that has transformed the once secludM
habitant of the rural" district into "a' cos
mopolitan citizen, conversant with' cur
rent affairs and occupying a larger place
in the destinies of a great nation.
Another Jonah Story.
There is no story in the Bible which
gives rise to more popular speculation
and discussion than the story of Jonah
and the whale. Every few weeks some
body comes along with some new “facts”
which he claims either prove or disprove
the Jonah story. The latest story of this
kind comes from Rev. John R. Stratton,
the famous New York fundamentalist and
enemy of evolution. Rev. Stratton says
he has discovered a man who. like Jonah,
was swallowed by a whale and who lives
to tell the story.
The man. according to the fuudaniental
| ist, is James Bartley, an English sea
man who served as a member of a whal
ing crew off the coast of Labrador. Bart
ley was in a whale boat when a gigantic
sperm whale struck the boat witb its tail,
causing the boat to capsize. All the men
were immediately saved except two who
the others thought were drowned. The
whale was killed and tied to the ship.
