It is shown delivering a string of tank cars to the Wadhams oil refinery in East Chicago. Because these locomotives can be operated more economically than steam locomotives, the railroad plans to put 40 or 50 more in operation in the next year. Standing on the engine is Harry Kennedy (wearing straw hat), Gibson yard master.

FLOUR I WEEKLY PAY $1,525,0 Mills Enjoy Contra-Seasonal Swing; 61,000 Men on the Pay Rolis Sixty-one thousand men earning $1,525,000 a week in Calumet district steel mills, exceeding even the boom 1929 pay rolL Ingot production hovering at 72 per cent of capacity the highest August rate in six years. Orders piling up fast enough to carry present output through the entire month. More orders coming in for early fall production. The prediction of Gen. Charles G.

Dawes, Chicago banker and economist, that local steel mill production will hit capacity by the end of the year. Those five paragraphs tell the story of the surprising recovery of the steel industry from Gary to South Chicago. They also account for the unusual degree of prosperity prevailing in the region. Usually this time of the year, steel mill output slumps badly, bringing gloom to every community dependent upon the metals industry for its bread and butter. This summer the reverse is true, notwithstanding political uncertain ties, high taxes, the drouth, declining automobile production and seasonal factors that almost always cause recession, such as excessive heat, vacations, and the like.

Cause of Unusual Swing What is causing the contra-sea sonal swing? For one thing, tin plate consump tion, enlarged by the use of beer cans, is rushing along at capacity and is using tons of strip steel that ordinarily would not be produced at this time of the year. Then, too, railroads are beginning to enjoy their first prosperity movement in six years, the result of im proved passenger traffic through lower rates and more modern equipment. Car loadings also are mounting weekly. This is resulting in more car purchases than have been made since 1930, a greater need of new rails for replacement, only, and an increased demand for tie plates, rail festeners and all of the other metal products that go into new car construction and rail laying. In the construction field, new in dustries are going up over night, old plants are being modernized, expansion programs continue to swell, bridge requirements are heavy because of spring floods, the government is pushing public works projects rapidly and most important, home, construction is just beginning to approach nor malcy.

Auto Demand Big Factor To these stimulating factors must be added the energizing effect of early orders for 1937 automobile models. The first of these commit ments are in the process of production already. They will be followed soon by a veritable deluge of pur chases as the automobile industry gears up assembly lines for the first runs. During previous years, automo bile orders seldom became an important consideration in steel mill production much before October. And, prior to the policy of introducing new models in November, mills usually waited until the end of the year or the forepart of the (Continued on Page 6) SH CAPITAL; SEEK TO CUT OFF ITS WATER SUPPLY Loyalist Fliers Burn Enemy Towns; Fighting Grows More Savage The Revolt in Brief (Copyright 1936, by United Press) Today's developments in the Spanish revolt: With Rebel Army Rebels hold Guadarrama after bayonet charge in face of machine gun fire; army in position to drive on to Madrid.

By ft KNICKERBOCKER (STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE! (Copyright 1936, by INS) NORTHERN SPANISH REBEL. ARMY HEADQUARTERS, BURGOS, Aug. to within eight miles of the source of red Madrid's water supply, the white column from Somo Sierra today captured Lozoyuela, four miles beyond Buitrago, thus placing the spearhead of the rebels' advance 35 miles from the capital.

Eight miles west of Lozoyuela is Lozoya, the principal source of Madrid's water, which, if cut off, means capitulation of the capital A bayonet charge by a phalanx of fascists earlier drove the last remnants of red troops from the village of Guadarrama and put the whites a step nearer the actual capture of Madrid. The whites took plenty of prisoners, but what is far more important they also captured five armored cars, which is one species of armament they had notably; lacked. Today, in the third week of the Spanish army's revolt it still dominates slightly more than two-thirds of Spain. The Madrid troops, or the reds, are on the defensive, the capital itself is partially but not wholly besieged, and while terrorism exercised by both sides upon their enemies behind the front line increasse in savagery, the prospects of a speedy ecision in the civil war are not bright. Army Swings to Rebels Developments, in brief, follow: First the Spanish land army numbering theoretically 280,000, but probably not having more than 200,000 effectives, went over almost completely to the rebels, led by Gen.

Francisco Franco in Morocco and Gen. Emilion Mola in the north, with the most effective units of the army, the Foreign Legion, in Moroccov Second, the Spanish navy, a disappointment to the rebels, remained loyal to Madrid, with the exception so far as can be ascertained, of only two ships. Third, loss of the navy to the rebels prevented immediate complete success of the revolt for General Franco has been unable to transport his Foreign Legion across the Straits of Gibraltar to Spain, and lack of these formidable forces, who are the best fighters in the army and the least scrupulous towards their enemies, has so far checked the rebel advance on Madrid. Fourth, the Spanish air corps, with some 30C airplanes but boasting only 150 actually serviceable planes at the outbreak of the revolution, is divided about equally for and against Madrid, but Madrid retains the superior bombing ai--- Continued on Page Six) PLANT TO RUN AT CAPACITY BY SATURDAY.

The American eagle screamed in victory on the cinder paths of Berlin's Olympic stadium this afternoon when Jesse Owens and Ralph Metcalfe swept the finals of the men's 100-meter run and Helen Stephens of Missouri hung up a miraculous new world's record in the women's division. Owens, running the 100-meter course in 10.3 seconds, won that title for the United States for the second consecutive time. His 10 points, coupled with five picked up by Ralph Metcalfe, who finished second to the Ohio State junior, and others scored by America's aces. gave the United States a team total of 46 points. In second place at the end of the second day of competition was Germany, with 31 hi points.

Finland was next, a point behind. Other point scores: Japan, Sweden, Holland, Great Britain, and Argentina, 1. Owens was wreathed with an Olympic laurel as the crowds cheered and saluted and was finally taken to the box occupied by Avery Brundage of the American Olympic committee. Metcalfe and Osendarp left the stadium but Owens remained. Except for the nazi salute, he received no more formal recognition from the chancellor but this was no actual evidence of racial discrimination as Hitler did not receive any of today's winners, even the German, Hein, who won the hammer-toss.

Harry Williamson of North Carolina won the second heat of the 800-meter run in 1.53.1 with Backhouse of Australia and Edwards of Canada on his heels with 1.53.2 each. Edwards led all the way to the stretch where Williamson and Backhouse surged forward, the former winning by a foot with Edwards a close third. Charles "Chuck" Hornbostel of Indiana won the third heat, with Lanzi of Italy beaten off by five yards and McCabe of England third. Hornbostel's time was 1.53.2, Lan-zi's 1.54.1 and McCabe's 1.55.4. Hitler left the stadium at 5:55 p.
