Industry will ko Into the now year
with schedules aimed at a produ'c
llon of 5.0U0.000 cars. This trend
toward heavier output in 1926
ha* been felt first in the ste?'l
centers since bankers claim tliat
while Detroit factories form the
thermometer of the automobile
trade the steel mills are its baro
meter.
For example, the Steel Products
Company of Cleveland has Just re-,
celved an order for $2,500,000
worth of automobile parts. Ac.* '
cording to Charing K. Thompson
president of the company, this in
the largest single order ever writ
ten on the company's books. Tin
parts will be us< d an original,
equipment on 1926 n?od? I cur*.
The order consisted largely of en-'
glne valves and tabular chassis
parts.
The steel industry Is preparing
to care for the demand which ?e
tlve automobile production entails
and meet other increasing require
ments In addition. When the ore
freighters now on tW lakes reach '
l.ake Erie ports tin- last Iron ore
of the season will have. been de
livered. The last ore ships of the
year left Duluth before midnight
Monday when the Increased insur
ance rates incident to the winter i
season went Into effect. The ton
nage shipped from I^ake Superior
ports in 1925 showed a gain of
about 11.000.000 tons as com
pared with 1924. Total loadings |
at Duluth. Superior and Other j
northern porta approximated 53.
000.000 tons as compared with
42.000.000 last year. Active work
will go on at the Minnesota Iron
Mines during the winter In order
to Insure a big supply with the
opening of navigation next spring.
The steel sltuution In the Pitts
burgh district is distinctly healthy
according to dispatches received
from there today and advices from
New York offices to Pittsburgh
companies.
Production there has failed to
yield to the Influences which nor
mally cause a decline at this time
of year. The principal Independ
ent company is operating st f'O
per cent of capacity and while the
V. S. Steel Company plants ar?!
working slightly under this rate
their activity Is mounting stead
ily.
Heavy buying by manufacturers
who require steel for their prod
ucts Is In evidence, and Jobbers
and dealers are replenishing their
stocks to be ready for spring de
mand. Some orders are being
placed In anticipation of a general
price advance. The farm machin
ery producers are buying extens
ively.
Pittsburgh wire products mills
are operating at about fiO per cent
land strip mills ure at 85 per cent
with prices steady. Orders for
plates are rather light as Is call
for structural steels. The pig Ir
on market In Pittsburgh has be
come quiet, because of the drop
ping prices of coke and the fact
that consumers have now placed
orders for most of their require
ments for early 1f>26. Prices are
firm, however, and some buyers
are anticipating their require
ments by asking car numbers In
advance of ordinary shipping In
structions.
Steel loaders In the Northern
Ohio section report an increased
demand for 19 2R delivery P'K
Iron, seml-flnlshed steel and fin
ished products. Operations In the
Mahoning Valley continue high
with sheet, strip, bar and hoop d??
partments running at almost 100
I per cent of capacity.

made yesterday by Charles J.

In the recently published find

pled with the WCJY report is
viewed as supporting the theory
of the General Klectrlc Company
engineers that a polyphase wave
be broadcast, employing both ver
tical and horizontal antenna,
might make a substantial im
provement in transmission.
Further tests to determine the I
exact increase In signal strength J

In the day of stress and storm 1
the Important thing about a house 1
is not the harmony and grace of I
Its design but the character of Its |
foundation. 'One thing thou lack
est,' said Jesus to the moral and
upright young msn who Inquired '
how he should inherit eternal life, j
And that one thing was erery
thlng. 'But will one thing damn j
me?' you ask. Friend, X tell ,
you with all the seriousness that
I know, If you haven't got Christ ;
you haven't got a chance to meet
God. Your body may be divinely .
formed and superbly propor
tioned. But without the breath '
of life In It it Is worthless.
"Preachers are not always fair. 1
Jesus was. He didn't charge these :
builders on the ssnd with dellber- j
ately choosing an undesirable lot {
upon which to build their lives. ;
His charge was merely that they 1
neglected the one sure founda
tion. .
"I see two men that are like I
two houses apparently much alike j
that stand side by side. Both are 1
prominent. Both are trusted. ,
Both are progressive and thor- 1
oughly honest. But one Is an ar
dent Christian and the other la a 1
skeptic. The superstructure In
each case Is practically the same. I
But how different the foundation!
The one has built upon the rock. |
The other has built upon the sand.
And the veriest shanty of a house 1
on the rock is safe, while the most |
beautiful cathedral upon the sand
Is sure to fail and fall.
Your Mind or Clod's
"If Calvary was not a necessity
then Ood committed a terrible
blunder in sending His Son into
the world to die. Why trifle with
eternal verities and set up your
I puny mind against the decrees of
God? What was the one founda
tion? 'These sayings of mine.' All
He said of Himself I accept. And
1 that Is why I preach Jesus and
| Him crucified. I didn't have to

"Somebody asked that great
preacher, Alexander MacLarvn,
when he came to die what he was
thinking of. 'I am trying to gath
er together all the sermon* I have
preached.' Mid the grand old man.
'all the books that 1 have writ
ten. all the gifts that I have made
and burn them up and to swing
out on the Grace and Mercy of
God and on that alone.'
"Oh. beloved, when tho tidal
waves of death splash at my feet
1 don't want the sand. 1 want
the Hock, the Rock of Ages. My
hope is built on nothing less than
Jesus' blood and righteousness. I
dare not trust the sweft?>st frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus' name.
I invite you to plant your feet on
that solid rock tonight. All oth'-r
