Arms Race Boosts Scrap Iron Prices in America COURTESY By LEONARD A. BARRETT T/ouj’e/io/y r J-fints ' By BETTY WELLS •' Junk Is Eagerly Grabbed Up by Foreign Nations. New Orleans, La.—Between 5,000 and 10,000 tons of scrap iron are be ing shipped from this port every week, according to estimates, bound to Italy, Japan, Poland, Belgium, England, Germany and Mexico. Huge piles of scrap iron, copper, brass, aluminum and tin cans are here one day and gone the next. Relatively high prices are being paid by foreign nations and the junk business has brought boom times to thousands in the scrap iron busi ness. Today great combines and syndi cates are organized to handle the nation’s castoff metals. They work through the parent company down to the ragamuffins of the alleys who wander through the back streets picking up iron, cans, brass and copper to sell for a few nickels to the local agent, who in turn, sells it to a trucker. The trucker hauls it to the company dump and again sells it for a good profit. / Goes for Armament. The “junkers” know, and admit, that a great part of the metal they sell is going to be used in the manu facture of munitions—which tome time might be used against this country. But, they say, they must make a living. Iron is bringing around cents a pound in New Orleans Brass and copper bring as much as 14 cents. Aluminum sella for about the same.

The rate is high—as much as $11 a ton, and a ton of iron takes far less space than a ton of cotton which pays about the same rate. So great has been the demand for tin in Italy that one enterprising dealer sold a load of dismantled taxicab doors to the Italian govern ment. The doors were loaded into an Italian freighter without having the wood, upholstery or broken glass removed. Iron Is Conditioned. Solid “chunk” iron brings the best price. Before being loaded aboard a freighter, the metal is “condi tioned." Conditioning consists of cutting the metal into pieces not more than 5 feet long, 18 inches wide and 18 inches thick. Steel rails, ship plates, railroad wheels and parts, form the most lucrative items of the trade, but iron bolts, discard ed flails, pipes, radiators all go into making up a full cargo for a freighter. Rising foreign prices have made it possible for the “junker” to sal vage many iron objects formerly not considered worth the effort. Tin cans are being hauled from munic ipal trash heaps and smashed by a giant compressor into compact suit- case-size parcels for cargo. The tin brings a high price in foreign countries. A compressor for such work coals about $35,000 and must have a large market to enable the operator to show a profit for its operation. Foreign markets are paying as high as $17.10 a too for New Or leans Iron and steel Prices for cop per and brass are baaed on the need of the nation buying the ma terial Fabulous tales have been told of prices obtained lor a cargo of brass for use in the manufacture of cartridge cases.

The other day a lady entered a crowded street car. A negro man rose quickly and offered her his seat. Courtesy waits for the man and expresses it self through him without thought of race or social caste. Courtesy is the color of a man’s regard for a fellow human being. It is an element of char acter that must continue to be long to personal growth and not alone to truth, nor time, nor trade. Thomas Jefferson once rebuked his grandson who had not acknowledged the courteous sa lute of a negro, with these words: “Do you permit a negro to be more of a gentleman than yourself?" Ed mund Burke, in giving counsel to a young man regarding his servants, said: “Never permit yourself to be outdone in courtesy by your infe riors.’* Courtesy is s virtue; s dis tinguishing mark of a gentleman; • culture and quality of the soul; an express too of mind and heart; a aval of personality which stamp* one’s inner self. Assumed courtesy is only cant, sham, and pretense “I’M HAVING the time of my * life," announced Helen B., whose husband just lost a lot of money in a fire that destroyed his place of business. “Because Frank and I are back where we started out, and in spite of all the ups and downs we feel like honeymooners again. & “Of course, I’m doing my own work because we can’t afford a maid. It’s the first time I’ve really worked in this kitchen. “Till I really rolled up my sleeves and went to work here, there were more things wrong with this kitch en! I wish I’d known before how much time and energy it wasted . . . after all it’s as good economy to save the maid steps as to save myself. “Then I found that the cabinet where we kept silver, dishes and cutlery and mixing bowls was across the room from everything else, while the pots and pans and groceries were on the other side of the room near the stove. The re frigerator was adjacent to the sink. “I have had the sink raised but I can’t move it or the refrigerator or the stove to bting the three in reaching distance.

STOP THOSE CHILLS AND FEVER! Tmha m PIERROT TURBAN tflte a dog! you feel e chill ea did all the I cm All In a split second, tbs standard of courtesy may be revealed. An old lady, carrying with great difficulty a heavy suit case, got off an elevated train at a Union station terminal. Six young men passed her unconcerned. Any one of the young men might have done his good turn for the day by assisting the lady down the elevated stairs. This is a passing incident colored by the impersonal environment of a big city. Yet it is typical of countless number of similar discourtesies that might be eliminated, if courtesy were given a primal place in our everyday thinking. Not long ago, the writer was present in a small assembly of persons when the moth er of one of the group entered the room. Only two of the men arose. Was it ignorance or indifference? What is the most plausible expla nation of discourtesy? Perhaps no better explanation could be given than lack of respect for personality. The tendency to think of a human being as a case, a number, a mere machine, plays havoc with our prop er evaluations of human life. The old lady was somebody’s mother. Respect for motherhood per se should be sufficient to call forth an expression of the lost art of chivalry common in feudal days. How prev alent is respect for personality, re gardless of age or social position? Wealth is no criterion of culture. Age does not justify discrimination, nor present the only challenge for politeness. In these days of rush and strife end strain, courtesy can be e quiet, restraining hand. In these days of experiment in human relations, courtesy can become the moat pow erful international bond: the white flag of the toirtt. 7*1- * Even at a She’s the kind of e lady can be e duchess on any even at e picnic.
