JUDGE GARY ANNOUNCES
STEEL COS BUILDING PLANS

New York. April 2T.-Announcement
was made by Chairman Gary of the
United States Steel Corporation yester-
day that the work on the new building
at the Birmingham (Ala.) plant has
been resumed and will be completed.
Chairman Gary's statement. in full,
was as follows:
The subsidiary companies of the
United States Steel Corporation have
been working upon a plan for the ex-
penditure of large sums for extensions
and new buildings and equipment at
Birmin CHAM. A large part of the build
ing has been constructed and Will be
promptly completed. In fact. the work
could not be interrupted without seri-
Gus detriment.
This work includes large reservoir
and waterplant and large number OF
by-product coke ovens for the Tennes-
see Coal. Iron and Railroad Company
and also includes large wire plant for
the manufacture. among other things,
of wire products by the American Steel
and Wire Company. 1t was intended
to erect g. large number of residences
for occupancy by the men to be en-
ployed, and it was also intended to in
stall expensive machinery.
ct has seemed to the officials OF the
Stel Corporation that House bill No
4413, reported by the Committee on
Ways and Means to the House of Rep
resentatives. If it should become law
would seriously affect the manufactur;
and sale of some wire products in tht
Birmingham district because of the low
cost of production of these articles il
foreign countries and the low rate o.
transportation in returning ships.
Order Work Resumed.

vised to suspend or postpone consider

tracts for residences or for extensions
or equipment of the mills until after
the whole subject matter could be
carefully considered. The advices seem
to have been misinterpreted to some
extent, and all or much of the work on
the buildings in progress of construc-
ton was interrupted
Upon learning this fact the local Of
ficials were advised of the real inten-
ton of those in authority as above
stated. and work was thereupon re-
stunned

buildings will be put can not be def
nitely or certainly stated at this time.
but it is believed they will eventually
be utilized for some lines of steel
manufacture.
There has been no intention or effort
to influence or antagonize legislation.
we present our views and reasons
when asked, but submit without ques-
ton to the decision of those who are
responsible for legislation and its re-
suit. We have a good opinion of the
Birmingham properties and hope in
time to operate them a a profit. Our
action, however. has been and will be
based on what we consider sound bust
ness principles"

Ampere DabbIed In Mathematics at
the Age Of Three.
Ampere, who left his name to the
science Of electricity, was a child gen
ius. At the age of three he had taught
himself to count with the aid of peb-
bles and had found out for himself a
good many of the theories Of arith-
metic. At this age he became very i'll
and was for three days denied food.
At the end Of the fast he was given q
biscuit, but instead of eating it he
broke it up into pieces to count with.
an operation he considered more inter-
esting.
He read everything with avidity.
His mind did not run in one channel,
and he welcomed every volume that
came in his way. When he was ten or
twelve years old he went to a library
to ask for the works Of certain au-
thor. The librarian told him in amuse-
ment that the books were in Latin.
The boy went home chagrined. for he
did not know Latin, being a sickly
child and held back from books as far
as possible. but after six weeks he ap-
peared again and told the librarian he
had learned to read the books now
Ampere is one of the few child prod.
igies who seems TO have been sickly
He had fits FROM time to time, while
most child wonders appear to have
been physically normal in every re-
spect.--Exchange.

Freaks Of LANGUAGE.

A peculiar kind Of laundering known
as folk etymology" is responsible for
some Of the queerest freaks Of Ian
guage. An easy example will make
this clear. Our American word car
ryall'' for a kind OF vehicle is not a
compound Of carry and ALL" but a
slight distortion of the French "carri-
ole" a diminutive car. The change
was made in obedience to the uni
versal tendency to assimilate the I'M
known to the known, to make words
mean something by associating them
with others which they resemble in
sound. Often there is no genealogical
relation between the words associated.

asparagus. This particular corruption
was once in such good colloQuial use
that Walker. the photographer. wrote,
"Sparrowgrass is SO general that as
paragus has an air Of stiffness and
