Brown in a Quandary.

Former Gov. Frank Brown seems to be
in Quandary. He was the first to en-
ter the race. but has not yet begun any
active campaign work. He has announc-
ed. that as soon as he relinquishes office
as city tax collector. which will be July
s. he will buckle down to work. He in
tends, first of all, to take a trip over
the state and make an effort to feel the
public pulse on his candidacy He will
first visit the counties in southern Mary
land, and then go through the eastern
shore stronsholds. IL he finds that there
is sentiment for him, then he will
hustle back to the city and open up head
quarters.
In discussing his plans with The Star
correspondent today Gov. Brown said:
Il am In the field as Baltimore city's
candidate. Ii they want a Baltimore city
man, but do not want me, II may be
that the city can produce a man to their
liking. If they are Indifferent to me and
also to the idea of a city candidate
shall step to one side. I am sure, how
ever, that the city can find man who
would make as good a governor as
Brown, or Jackson. or Smith, or War
field, or Crothers. If the county people
are disposed to take up the idea the
man can be found.

BALTIMORE, Md. July l. 1911.
1t Is not yet determined whether there
will be more than two candidates for
governor in the democratic primaries
next September. State Senator Blair Lee
Of Montgomery county is already in the
field, and Is making an active campaign
through the means OF his literature bu-
reau in this city. He has also begun
his canvass on the hustlings. having made
an address at q church garden party In
the northeast section Of the city this
week.
Within the next ten days State Sem
ator Arthur P. German of Howard coun-
~. and also of Baltimore city. who has
a permanent residence here now, will
make formal announcement of his can
didacy. German will have at the out
set of his campaign the active support
OF the state leader, Senator John Walter
Smith. and the regular city organization.
These two factors will give young Cor
man a tremendous advantage in the pri-
maries. for both the city and state ma
chimes are in good working order.
Senator Lee. of course, will have the
active support Of Gov. Crothers and the
recently organized progressive democratic
party, which is composed of the War
field democrats and those city democrats
who lined up with Mahool in the mayor

FAULT OF DEATS, SIR.
Worked Too Long for Deats, IT,, to
 Get Polish

From the New York Evening Post.
 MT. Deats, senior, Is an old fogy. There is no doubt about that. In early life MT. Deats, senior, had pretty hard time. He was denied the advantage of any particu- lar schooling. In consequence of this. MT. Deats now occasionally uses very morti- lying English. At an early age-some- where about the age of 10he entered trade. A ridiculous combination of ad- verse circumstances made it impossible for Mir. Deats to go much into polite society. In consequence of this, he un- fortunately lacks polish. For a. great number of years the world was not kind to him. It may have been trouble that destroyed his beauty. At any rate. Mir Deats is not a handsome man. Not be- ing able to do anything better he con. fined his attention to doing his duty; that is not very brilliant employment, 1t is true, but il was good enough for MT Deats. s
 In the course of time, MT. Deats took to himself q wife; and, in the course Of time again. this wife bore MT. Deats a son-and died simultaneously Well. MT Deats was left with d boy, and this boy must have something to start him in life How can boy start life with nothing?'

The Aee of Steel

From the Engineering Magazine.
 If the 18th century is looked back to us the true iron age, the present century will assuredly in turn be designated the Age of Steel. There was, of course, an iron age known in the ancients. It was T period when the primitive people of the earth first used iron in fashioning ,heli implements of war. the chase and mousse hold use. But the invention of the loco-
 motive and the success of Stephenson's 's work on the Stockton and Darlington rail- road in England in 1925 gave the greatest impetus to iron mining and smeltins. There were only S5 small ,smeltlng far naces in Great Britain in 17SS. with q total capacity of $500 tons per annum of pig iron. The pig iron production of the United States in 1s10 amounted to only 53,9DS tons. But in 1865, or 40 years after Stephenson demonstrated the advantage of steam railroads. British pig iron pro- duction increased to nearly J,000,0O0 tons per annum. while the United States pro- duced at the rate of 100000 per annum British furnaces sInelted 10,216745 tons of nig iron. in 1910. and the American pro- duction exceeded 2G000.000 tons. In 1S65 Gerinany produced SS2.546 tons. Belgium 5o0.otU tons. Austria 90o,0oO. Sweden 24o,- Ot00 aud Russia 275,000 tons. The worlds production of pig iron in 1865 amounted to 9.099, ,d66 tons. The worlds production last year was about 65, ,000,0O0 tons.

II is significant that Mr. Edison Is
