HIGH LIVING COST AFFfcCTs
BRITISH STEEL. BUSINESS
MIDDLESBORO, Eng., Fob. 4.— j
Speaking on the outlook in the steel
trade, Sir Arthur Dorman, a member
of one of the leading steel producing
companies, said that whereas the
cost of living was over seventy per
cent above pre-war cost, steel prices
were up less than forty per cent. Un
less there was before long a radical
reduction in the cost of liviig in this
country and in the price chat the iron!
and steel trade had to pay for set- ,
vices, which it did not control, there)
would be a decline in the export of
steel which would seriously affect j
the purchasing power of tin.-, country \
in foreign markets.
If this was not to happen, he said, j
it might become necessary to subsi.
dize the export of iron and steel pro
duced in Great Britain until such
time as an equilibrium was once
more restored between the British
and continental conditions of life.

Graduates Get Start
In Newspaper Field
SEATTLE, Feb. 5.—The country,
not the city, is the field for young
men and women who take academic
training in newspaper work, opines
Dr. Matthew Lyle Spencer, dean of
the school of journalism of the Uni
versity of Washington. He and Sol
H. Lewis, who was graduated from the
! school ten years ago and is reputed
to have achieved a comfortable es
tate, besides influence, as a publish
er of a weekly at Lynden, Wash., a
dairy community, have worked out a
plan under which they report that
seven new graduates are acquiring
newspapers.
Dr. Spencer or Mr. Lewis buys a
j paper and forms a stock company, re
taining 51 per cent of the stock and
putting 19 per cent into escrow. A
graduate is placed in charge of the
; paper receiving a salary and drawing
j dividends on the 49 per cent of the
: stock. The ■ dividends are applied
in payments on the stock. When the '
dividends have paid for the forty
nine per cent of the stock, the filty
one per cent is placed in escrow and
payment continued on it with divi
dends.
“It isn’t entirely altrusfie,” Dr
Spencer said, declaring that a young
man or woman could acquire a news
paper in this way in three to five
yc ats.
1 lie only -.ash payment required of
the iK-dgbng publisher is $500 to
$1,000 t the start.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Woman’s Club will be held Thursday
afternoon at 2 o'clock in the city hall.
All members are urged to be present
as special business will be presented.
