OUTPUT MAKING
RAPID INCREASE
THE STEEL PLANTS OUTPUT FOR
THIS MONTH PROMISES TO
ECLIPSE ALL REcORDS-FU-
NERAL OF MR.. LIDELL.

Ensley, January 24-(Special)--The in
dcations are that the steel plant will
break all former records this month. SO
far this large industry has been running
on full time every day since the first of
the year. and no accident of any kind has
happened that could affect the output.
It is understood that UP to the present
the records each day have been very graf
flying and that everything points to the
output being the largest in the history of
the plant this month. In October and
in November of last year all former re-
cords were smashed. In October the out
put exceeded 10000 tons and in Novem-
Der $4,000 tons of steel were rolled.
On account of December being a holt
day month the records did did not come
up to the two previous months, but as
January has been very favorable 1t Is
expected that a new record will be estab-
lished.
The work on the new open-hearth fur
mace Is moving along satisfactorily. The
site on which It Is to be constructed has
been cleared off and 1t is understood that
the material has been ordered.
When this plant is completed it will be
a decided innovation in southern steel
making. 1t is understood that the new
furnace is to be used for the purpose of
relocating the tapes that for some reason
have failed in the other furnaces.

Chicago recently made the astounding
claim before the meeting Of the Social
Economics club in Chicago that such
action is taken daily in the hospitals
Of Chicago to hide the results Of bun.
Cling operations. Male members Of the
medical profession have made sugges-
tons along this line, but It remained
for Chicago women to carry the idea
to the startling extreme. says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean.
Other sentiments of Il sensational
character were expressed at the meet
ing, and woe betide the cripple, the
criminal, the epileptic and the imbecile
should the suggestions made by Mrs.
Forwerg meet with universal approval,
for such humane treatment as is ac-

pleaded for the support Of institutions

theories.
FAll mentally and morally deficient
children should be put out of existence
at BIRTH she said, "or as soon as their
defects are noted. We only retard our
own development By maintaining them
in public institutions.
we should have a state college of
