Small Buying Helps

New York, October 14-(Speeial) The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 While the drift of steel trade to low CT scale of operations is unchecked it Is to be noted that the reduction of working rorces is very slight from week to week. This gives ground for the opinion that even small buying movement might bring a turn for bet ter as the belief grows that the war will last much longer than has been commonly thought. It's disastrous eff fects on American trade are more thought of with less disposition among steel manufacturers to count on large exports to help out a home situation that was bad before war came.
 In spite of Implications in published reports of export business. orders for wire products taken by Pennsylvania and Ohio mills have reached good to- tals. In the past two weeks 12,000 tons or barb wire have been sent abroad and more business is pending, including 5000 tons for France. A Youngstown mill has sold 5000 wire rods to Eng land. The Bridge Builders and Struc- tural society reports that contracts taken by bride and structural shops of the country in September amount ed to 3S.5 per cent of a months ca pacity against 2I5 per cent in August.
 In cast pipe the competition is sharper A Cleveland waterworks con tract for 3250 tons was taken at S21.20 delivered foundry. Pig iron in addi- ton to the vlcissitudes of many months has now to contend with new low prices for cast scrap. The cheapness of the latter has led foundrymen to use in- oreasng amounts in mixtures that consumption of foundry iron has fall en considerably. Inquiry for 1000 tons southern iron comes from Italy, which has just bought 800 tons. Japan Is ask ing for 5000 tons.

will be necessitated through prolongation Of the war.
 As now before the Senate, the war tax bill differs materially from the measure passed by the House and described in detail in The Age-Herald. For instance, the tax on gasoline and motor spirits is stricken out and tax on proprietary medicines is substituted. The tax on bank capital and surplus is reduced from s2 per 5000 to $l; the tax life insurance policies is wiped out and the tax on auiusements is graduated according to the capacity of the playhouses. The main changes as shown in the Senate bill are:
 The tax on beer, lager, ale, porter, etc., to be s1.75 barrel instead of N.50.
 An additional tax of s cents is to be imposed on each gallon of whiskey or similar rectified distilled liquor.
 The tax on sweet wines remains at 20 cents a gallon, but on dry wines is re- duced from F cents to cents
 Brokers are relieved of the proposed tax of $50 and the tax on pawnbrokers is raised from $20 to $50
 Instead of imposing a tax of $iO0 on amusement places in cities of over 15,00o population, the Senate bill provides $25 for seating capacity up to 300; $50 from 300 to GOO; s7 from $500 to 1000. and $1O0 for all over that capacity.
 Commission merchants are brought into the new bill, with proposed tax of $20, and dealers in tobacco not specially pro- vided for will have to pay $4.S0 for each store or shop, instead of that sum for all they may control.
 By further changes in the tobacco schedule, manufacturers whose sales

 Another Feature
 Another feature of the government re. port Is one which will make 1t possible to compare our agricultural with our in dustrial activities. In some of Mir. HITS earlier addresses he intimated that he was fearful lest too much of the energy and capital of the American people would be devoted to the interests of manufac. turing industries. He was apprehensive lest this disposition would in two ways be harmful to agriculture. In the first place, it would draw from the farms tc the industrial centers a great number o1 persons, thereby obtaining scarcity Ol harvest hands as well as a decrease of farming, and in the second place. if con- tinued 1t sooner or later would be es. sential for the United States to import a good deal of food needed by the peo- pie.
 The government report shows that the harvest as a whole is the most bountiful we have ever had, yet at the same time manufacturers were occupied with se- curing great and large markets in other parts of the world and were so successful that had it not been for our exports of our manufactured commodities between January i and August 1 American indus tries would have been brought to a standstill comparatively speaking.
 Some of the largest of our industrial or ganizations were saved from serious em- barrassment by their exports. An organ ization was perfected at the time the farmers were planting, which had for its purpose the systematic. economic direc- tion of the worldwide salesmanship, car ried on by men whose employees floated the American flag over their manufacture ing plants. So that when American agri. culture was conquerng the soil as never before, American manufacturing indus tries were also seeking foreign markets and were relatively as successful in doing that as the farmers were in securing un- usual harvests.

 more revenue than first had been pro-

 Stamps for domestic and foreign bills Of exchange are stricken out. The stamp tax on bonds, debentures and certificates of indebtedness will become
 effective on such securities issued 30 days after the approval of the act instead of November 1.
 The 1-cent tax on 15-cent telephone or telegraph messages will be based on re- ports made every 90 days, instead of every 15 days.

TEN DOLLARS HIGH AVERAGE PRICE FOR BIRMINGHAM IRON Continuation of Dullness Is Having It's Effect on
 Prices in Pig Iron
 Market

Cleveland, O., October 14-(Special ! The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The continuation of the dullness in domestic demand and failure of for eign business to develop into orders of appreciab1e size are having effect on prices Buffalo pig iron has receded to lower levels. semi-finished materials are weaker. Contracts for tin plate at Chicago have been made at very low prices and there is weakness in nearly every production. Wire is almost the only exception to the rule. The ca pacity of furnaces in steel plants and rolling mills is being reduced.
 The appearance of two textile ma chlnery builders of New England and few other buyers In the New York pig iron market resulted in more sales than had been made in that district during any week since last July, but the tptal tonnage was only about 1O.- 900 and the eagerness of furnaces ta take the limited amount of business was indicated by the development ot lower prices.
 There has also been some shading on foundry iron at Pittsburg and very little if any southern iron Is sold at more than s10 for No. ? Birmingham. Eastern merchant furnaces at present have on their books unified tonnage to keep the plants now in operation busy for the next four months but the going capacity is much below normal.
 Tendency Towards Weakness
 During the past few days the ten dency toward weakness in prices of shapes and bars has developed and on anything like desirable business the ruling quotations on these products is $l.15 Pittsburg. In view of the linn tied demand the recent strength os prices has been rather remarkable.
 Prices of semi finished material are showing considerable irregularity and little difficulty is experienced in shad- ing recent quotations. A sale of forg ing billets was made at $23 Cleveland.

SENATE APPROVES
 ALASKAN BILL

Washington. october H.-The Alaska coal land leasing bill in the form of a second conference report, today was ap- proved by the Senate. The first report was rejected on the ground that the con ferees had exceeded their authority. The second report struck out the proviso lim- iting the regulatory power of the interior department over coal lands to actions through the courts for cancellation of the lease to be filed within 90 days of notice to the defendant This was the provision which aroused opposition in the Senate and resulted in the rejection of the orig inal report.
 The conference agreed also to a Senate amendment under which the govern ment's policy from leasing contracts would be usedsin the construction of the government railroad in Alaska and in other Alaskan development.
 The report now goes to the House, whore its acceptance is expected.

is THERE A PERSONAL DEVIL?

Nowhere in the Bible does it say
the devil has horns, hoofs and tail,
with pitchfork in his hand, torment
ing those in the burning fire, but on
the contrary it says he was created
perfect in beauty and full of wisdom,
until sin was found in him. The fore
going is one of the main thoughts Pas
tor j. w. Owens gave in his address.
rs There Personal Devil?" last Sun
day evening before an interested au-
dience, at the Seventh Day Adventist
Church, 2917 Glenarm Place.
He further stated that before the
devil sinned, his name was Lucifer,
meaning daystar. He was chief of
the angels and next in position to
Christ.
He became exalted because of his
beauty and the desire entered his
heart to be equal with God. He said
he would ascend into heaven and eXalt
his throne above the angels, getting a
large number of the angels to sympa-
thize with him, he led them to war
against Christ, and the angels that did
not join him. But they prevailed not,
neither was their place found any
more in heaven.
Jesus said, He beheld Satan as
is transgression of Gods law, they
were cast out for being disobedient.
LAS this rebellion leader with his
host was not successful in heaven, he
turned his attention to the tearing
down of creation, and the third chap
ter of Genesis relates how Adam and
Eve were overcome. and Satan
usurped Adams position as prince of
this world.
It is recorder that to whom ye yield
yourselves servants to obey, his serv-
ants ye are to whom ye obey. AS
Christ had the victory, and the people
all along down through the ages have
had the victory, through hope in His
word for they overcame him by the
blood of Christ, so the people down
here in the year 1914 may have the vic
tory through the same hope.
Christ came to destroy the devil, and
met him face to face in the wilderness.
The devil told Christ he would give
him all the kingdoms of this world If
he would only bow down and worship
him. Christ did not yield to him so
Satan through human agents put him
to death, but Christ broke the seal of
the tomb and ascended to the Father,
victorious.
known his doom, and has come down
with great wrath, knowing that he
hath but short time. He has power
to transform himself into an angel of
light, and with the evil angels, pose
as ministers OF righteousness. Christ
warned against false Christs and false
prophets which would deceive all
Christians possible.
If every soul who is striving for right
could have his eyes opeHed, he would
see the good angel influencing FOR
good, and an evil angel by his side to
wrong, but if he will hold to the word
of God, he will not fail, but if he yields
to the evil angel, God will allow
strong delusion to come and he will
believe a lie.
"The devil is a liar from the begin
ming. and the father of lies, and God in
His own good time will destroy the
father of lies in the lake of fire pre-
pared for him and his angels.

HINTS ABOUT TABLE LINEN
Scheme That viii Save Much Wear
and Tear-Use for White Paper or
Crepe Napkins.

The careful housekeeper may at this
time of year, which is rather destruc.
tive to fine table linen, try several ex.
pedients which will save it much wear
and tear. If one has attractive EN-.
broidery to display beneath, a glass.
topped dining table is always good to
have. but if the table is of fine wood
very artistic effect may be obtained
by using runners of white or Holland
linen. which may be crossed in the
center OF the table. These, with some
dainty doilies, make an ample and at.
tractive table covering for breakfast
and luncheon, and are very easily laun.
dered.
White paper or Japanese cotton
crepe napkins may also be used with
great advantage for the fruit course,
especially at breakfast, when juicy
fruit is generally used This makes
quite saving, as fruit stains are so
destructive to fine napery.
Economy may also be displayed In
the dinner cloth. The small table
cloths with band of hemstitching are
not only very elegant in appearance,
but take very little time to launder.
An odd and dainty appearance is
given, the breakfast or luncheon table
by the use of the Bulgarian table cloths
and doilies, which come in such gay
and attractive colors and patterns.
These are of great use, especially in
the nursery, for dining purposes. The
Bulgarian china may also be had to
match them in color, and they are
much enjoyed by the children.
