SIX THE IRONWOOD TIMES Friday, November 11, 1932 FUTURE HOUSES OF STEEL Steel Houses Would Have Models Like the Auto Steel houses will afford a new product for the retail lumber and material dealers of the country, according to Henry Penn, of Chicago, district engineer of the American Institute of Steel Construction. Mr. Penn was a speaker recently at the annual meeting in Louisville, of the National Retail Lumber Dealers' association. "The production house is the name chosen for the new product," said Mr. Penn, "because it is intended to make It in large quantities like the automobile.

It is by making many houses alike that it is hoped to cut the cost. It follows that It will be marketted by means of models and catalogues. Its construction features must be related to the machinery of manufacture. The advantages of production methods of house construction lie in the saving in cost. "The modern house will consist of steel constructed frame clothed with other materials.

The steel parts will be manufactured in the plants of various steel fabricators that are now spread over the country, and the material can be readily shipped' by truck, boat or rail. The clothing units that will envelop this frame will no doubt be manufactured in a plant capable of still greater local service. This plant will also assemble' the mechanical units so necessary to the -complete house." Mr. Penn said that the modern house is a building haying a manufactured steel chassis clothed with materials such as the retail lumber dealers have been selling. He said that the lumber dealers are now in possession of the service organizations and plants have the sales organizations that are in contact with the market.

It will be a high quality product, according to Mr. Penn, and it will be sold complete and ready for occupancy. Production of gold in the United States has increased at a faster rate during the current year than in any other major gold producing country, according to estimates made by the American Bureau of Metal Statistics. Output during August amounted to 241,000 fine ounces valued at $4,981,470 against 174,000 ounces valued at in January, or an increase of 38.4 per cent. Gold production throughout the world Is increasing although not at as rapid a pace as in this country.

The second largest percentage gain is shown by Australia and New Zealand. Prom 69,000 fine ounces valued at produced in January, output has increased to 81,000 ounces valued at $1,674,270 in August, a gain of 17.4 per cent. Canada continues to rank as the second largest in the world with Africa first and United States third. During the current year Canadian production has increased to 263,000 fine ounces valued at $5,436,210 in August from 234,000 ounces valued at $4,831,780 in January, a gain of 12.3 per cent. While South African output has made a number of new high records during the past year increasing from 948,000 fine ounces valued at $19,595,160 in January to' 991,000 ounces valued at $20,483,970 in August, the percentage Increase Is only 4.5 per cent.

Output for the entire world for August is estimated at 2,010,000 fine ounces the bureau stated. "However," It was pointed out, "it is improbable that the August rate will be maintained during the remainder of 1932, but a year's total of 23,000,000 ounces may be reasonably expected." This estimate compares with 21,335,000 fine ounces in 1931; 19,585,000 ounces in 1929, and 15,445,000 ounces In 1922. Close Negaunee State Bank NEGAUNEE, Nov.

Partridge and Grouse on Increase in Spite of Recent Open Season The recent grouse season in the upper peninsula, the first in years apparently did not deplete the partridge supply north of the Straits of Macklnac to any appreciable extent, in the opinion of E. D. Ruhl, in charge of the Game Division of the Department of Conservation.

The number of hunters was relatively small and a cursory survey ihrough the northern peninsula during the ten days following the close of the season indicated large numbers of birds, Mr. Ruhl said. Ruhl spent nearly three weeks In the peninsula, both during the open season and immediately following It. During that time he visited several sections and found plenty of grouse in the areas suited for them. Prairie chickens north of the Straits are becoming abundant again and although many were taken during the open season, they seem to be almost as plentiful after the season as before.

These birds are reported to be more generally abundant in that section of the state than in the southern peninsula, and according to local residents are continuing to increase. Spruce grouse or "fool" hens are protected and appeared more abundant, but still not common In more areas. Unfortunately, a few hunters did not distinguish them from ruffed grouse, although these birds are much darker colored than partridges and are very tame. Violations Sixty-three Michigan hunters lost their guns to the State during Sep tember through confiscation by Conservation Officers, a report issued by the Department's Division of Field Administration shows. The report which lists 172 men convicted in September of various violations of the conservation laws shows a large amount of hunting equipment taken from hunters because of illegal use.

Most of the guns were taken from persons carrying loaded weapons in game areas without permit or license. The report lists 45 men convicted of this offense. During September, because of a general closed season on all game, a permit from the Department was necessary to carry a rifle or shotgun in an area frequented by wild life. Beginning October 1 with the opening of hunting season, necessity for a- permit was replaced by the necessity for a small game license. In addition to confiscating 63 guns, the Department's officers confiscated a large number of traps, 14 fishing nets, a quantity of furs'and one boat.

An unusually large number of deer law violations were reported with the conviction ot 13 men for illegal possession of venision, nine for hunting deer during the closed season and six for headlighting deer. The average court penalty for deer law violations ran much higher than for any other offense. Seventeen convictions for the illegal possession of nets and for using nets in waters closed to their use reported in September. Other fishing law violations included 15 non-residents for failing to secure a license to fish; eight for having un dersized fish in their possession; two for taking trout during the closed season and five for using borrowed fishing licenses. Among the other violations listec and the number of persons convictec were: Shooting pheasants out season and illegal possession pheasants possession of beaver hides taking fox squirrels out of season hunting or killing par tridges during the closed season 10; carrying loaded' gun in automobile carrying a gun while training dogs using snares to take rabbits violation of fur buyers' law interfering with the work of an officer using a trap to take deer hunting rabbits in closed season shooting ducks out of season illegal use of set lines 3.

The 172 persons convicted of violation of conservation laws paid $1,049 in fines and $665.64 in court costs or served 1,130 days in jail. The report shows 59 men sentenced to jail and 76 paying fines. Thirty seven were placed on suspended sentences or were released on probation for periods ranging from 30 days to a year. The heaviest sentence imposed during the month' was given Arthur Reiten, of Iron Mountain. Reiten, convicted of killing two deer ouf of season was ordered to pay a $100 fine.

The two deer carcasses were given to needy families. If fairy tales were taken away from children, they'd invent their own.
