Bethlehem Steel Seeks
Swedish Ore, says Report
STOCKHOLM, April 6.—Recent re
ports emanating from well-informed
circles, to the effect that the Bethle
hem Steel Corporation was negotiating
with the Trafik Aktiebolaget Oxelo
sund Grangesberg largest of the Swed
ish iron producing companies, for the
entire output of its mines, have caus
ed comment here. While the nego
tiations have not progressed to the
state where a public announcement
can be made, it is known that the Am
erican concern placed large orders for
Swedish ore during the last year, and
that the output of the mines will prob
ably be almost doubled during 1925.
Swedish exports from the big mine
fields of Lapland amounted in Janu
ary of this year to 645,000 tons com
pared with 160,000 tons in January of
last year. Much of the increased ex
port was due to the growing demand
for Swedish ore in Germany, but a
majority of the shipments went to the
United States.
It is estimated that the mines of the
Trafik Grangesberg, as the Swedish
company is called, could produce a
maximum of about eleven million tons
of ore annually. Sales of this entire
output to an American company is op
posed in some quarters on the ground
that Sweden would lose its market on
the continent should the deal go thru.

Dr. J. B. Collip. of the University
of Alberta, Canada, is said to have
discovered an effective means of
treating parathyroid tetany, hereto
fore a baffling disease.
Discovery of a new source of radi
um supply on the western coast of
Sweden has been reported.

FAMOUS CHINESE ARSENAL
MAY BECOME AUTO FACTORY
SHANGHAI, April 6.—Tired of arm
ed conflict and realizing that men can
not fight without rifles, revolvers and
ammunition, Shanghai has welcomed a
project to turn the Kiangnan Arsenal
into a motor car factory. Deprived of
this local source of weapons, warring
factions may become more peaceful, it
is argued.
The arsenal was built some fifty
years ago near Shanghai, and for half
a century it has been the objective of
much strife and many warlike clash
es.
Recent orders from Peking said the
arms making machinery in the arse
nal should be removed from Shanghai
district, possibly to Nanking, and that
the. buildings be turned over to the
Shanghai Chamber of Commerce for
commercial uses. Thereafter came
the proposal that China’s first auto
mobile factory be inaugurated in the
old arsenal, and Canton capitalists
have the matter under favorable con
sideration.

Jewelers Bemoan Women’s
Simple Taste In Gems
LONDON, April G.—Women’s con
stantly changing ideas regarding what
they shall or shall not wear always
affects some trade or another. This
time it is the jewelry trade which is
suffering owing to the new simplicity
of tastes regarding the wearing of
jewelry. All women want pearl neck -
laces for the moment, and if they can
not get real ones they will have imi
tations, with the result that pendants
with ornate gold settings as well as
brooches are out of fashion.
According to the head of a jewel*}
association in Birmingham, where
much jewelry is manufactures, there
is today a slump in gold watch wrist
i lets because women are now wearing
a plain moire ribbon band, and where
as it was quite usual for a woman to
wear four rings it is now only usual
to wear two a wedding and an engage
ment ring.
