Operations In the steel industry also
are at a high rate. Factories In the
Pittsburg district are working at about

corporation s plants are uuing

up and with demand insistent prices

Home surprise was occasioned by
"' the fact that the Steel corporation's
net earnings during th last quarter
of the year failed to cover aiviaena
requirements by about the ; same
amount as In the preceding quarter.

' corporation filled considerable orders
durina- the last few months of the year
' which had been placed befors produc-
tion coats were raised by the strikes
and the September increase in wages
and When prices naturally were lower.
This Is considered a logical result of
' 'the corporation's policy of stabilising
prices. Earnings are now stated to
bs better and results during the first

CONGRESS TO HEAR

WASHINGTON Veb. 4. President
Harding will submit the British debt
settlement to congress probably on
Tuesday. While ba has not yet made
a definite decision ths expectation is
that he will make the presentation In
person to a joint session of the bouse
and senate in the house chamber.
Members of the American oeot com-
mission who drafted their formal re-
port to ths executive Saturday Said
today that the exact form of the
legislation which congress would be
aaked to nass remained to be deter
mined. However it will take one of
the two forms a general amendment
of the existing statute or a formal ap-
proval of the British agreement only.
- While anticipating some opposition
In both the house and senate admin
lstratlon officials and republican con
gresstonal leaders appeared confident
of favorable action by congress before
the expiration of ths present session
on March 4.
Debate Is expected to develop many
details of the negotiations between the
British and American commissions
. which have been withheld thus far.
Some administration leaders are of
the opinion that the terms to which
the British cabinet finally assented are
to much more liberal than those orig
inally advanced by the British mission
that much of the opposition in con-
gress will be dissipated when the facts
are brought to light.

It la then that ths catastrophe oc

churches' of London and to gain for
himself a sura and lasting fame in the
history of the architecture of Eng-

In addition to these 13000 homes the
Royal exchange and 60 or mora civic
buildings. The work of rsstoration
although undertaken shortly after the
fire accomplished little headway for
several years. The foundation stone

age of .
The renaissance In England bad
been changed through the influence of
Wren and Gibbs and Adams Into
style much mors nearly possessed of
the Italian character from which
had arisen. An intelligent mastery of
the renaissance had been accom
plished. The new London waa - no
longer similar to ths medlaval London
and the new manner of building In
England was no longer similar to the
manner of the Gothic nor wak the
manner of the people similar to the
manner of the time of the monastery.
It IS this spirit which is existing In
America In the colonies In the genera
Hon preceding and in the generation
following the Revolution.
Wren gave an influence to the re
nalssanca as a style In English-speak
lng countries; the style was continued
and waa powerful after Wren In Eng
land; it did away through his work

and expressed a formal clasel'" quality
not without soma high refinement.
which was a new end different mens
Ure of art for England. It continued
this Influence Into the ' colonies and
left a permanent Impression on the
early architecture of America and has
been a source of constant and recur-
rent study In later generations seeking
to continue it as a1 style and to express
it with mora refinement snd to ex
nress it with more adaptability.

The fact that the dry s gents knew
