recent years have labored to improve

Alcohol and Electricity Blessings.
Two OF the greatest gifts God gave
man are alcohol and electricity" said
the speaker. He urged that persons
use both alcohol and electricity tenn
perately. Both are life-producing. but
both used excessively mean death" he
declared. He added that electricity
slew more men than alcohol ever did.
The speaker cited examples OF this
country's greatest statesmen, whom he
asserted held liberal attitude toward
liquor. George Washington, the faith
er OF our country, bequeathed a dis
tillery in his will and is also said to
have used $500 indiscriminately in
seeking the Office" said Lloyd. Abra-
ham Lincoln kept a saloon at Salem,
Ohio. now Petersburg. He operated
a general store in which groceries,
wines and liquors were advertised.
What did Lincoln say when reports
came to the White house that General
u. S. Grant was debauched with
liquor during a Civil war battle?' 4

Says Saloons Obey Law.
The speaker said he had visited

a saloon was a common place. He al
lowed them to drink in saloons. II put
them up to the lannon's mouth and
made soldiers of them" said Lloyd.
He asserted that they now knew for
themselves and upheld the regulated
saloon.
The church Is the parent of the
saloon and surely il would not disown
its own child" said Mr.. Lloyd. He
said the tavern originated with the
Catholics and was known as a place

dynamos and fans to furnish the ain
blasts, and air speeds up to sixty mild0
an hour have been provided for.
Some of the experts of the advisory
committee say that much higher air
speeds than this will be required and
mention 200 miles an hour as the
possible maximum. The whole sub
ject of aviation Is so new that even the
experts are decidedly doubtful as to Just
what will be required in the way of ex-

Buying Structural Steel.

The most encouraging developments III
the steel trade this week We're the larger
contracts paced for structural shapes
and the heavy buying of wire products,
the latter by iobbers and manufactu: ers.
The fabricating shops booked orders for
5000 tons of shapes including con-
sumrnated subway contracts for "ItOo
tons. Orders for wire products on some
days were double the average daily mil
capacity of the largest interests.
More satisfactory orde.s also for bars
and sheets were placed, with some i'm
provement in the prices realized for black
sheets. Semi-finished steel, on the other
hand, was weaker, and sales of 40,WD
tons of sheet bars were reported at con-
cessions of 81 per ton, in competition with
foreign steel. BilIets also were 81 per
ton lower, with moderate sales.
Rail: Dad buying was still far below
normal. Contracts for 10000 tons of
rails for the Seaboard and 25,GOO tons
for the Southern railroad are virtually
placed Car orders for the week aggre-
gate 1.SJo.
There was a further increase in mill
operations. The Steel Corporation had
IS per cent of ingot capacity active, and
close to 60 per cent is expected for the
coming week. Large contracts for pig
iron were again placed, but the business
was more satisfactory in tonnage than
in prices. Upward of $50 900 tons Of

for 100000 tons of the total, of which 80

REVENUE CUTTERS
HAVE BUSY WEEK
Many Vessels in Distress as
Result of Storm Along
Atlantic Coast.
BRAVE ICE AND WIND
IN THE WORK OF RESCUE
Ships Towed Into Safe Harbors and
Their Crews Saved From Perils
of the Sea.

Heavy gales in the early part of last
week gave the vessels of the revenue cut
ter service on the stations between Cape
Hatteras and Cape Cod, plenty to do in
aiding vessels in distress and in saving
lives and property endangered in winter
storms. The cutters 1tasca, Gresham and
Acushnet on the Nantucket shoals and
Vineyard sound stations and the cutter
Apache the Chesapeake station have
been called upon to do the bulk OF the
relief work and reports received at the
headquarters of the service in the Treas
ury show that eighteen vessels have been
aided by the cutters named since Mon
day last.
Thursday last the Acushnet was in
touch at one time with ten vessels ask
Ing assistance and reports state that
eighteen schooners and one tug were in
sight of Chatham, Mass. at one time,
with flags flying with union down, asking
for aid. These vessels were all covered
with ice and this condition seems to have
been their chief trouble.
The men in the cutters shave worked in
icy cold gales in adm. vessels and it is
said that several members Of the cutter
crews have been frost bitten.
Braved Storm and Ice.
The cutters fought their way through
storm and ice to the vessels, and though
themselves covered with ice. which the
men have not had time to clean away,
they are going night and day to get into
harbor the vessels needing help. While
the cutters on the New England coast in
former years have been called upon to
aid many vessels in trouble, this is the
first time since the establishment of the
winter cruising service that practically
every vessel on Nantucket sound was in
need of help.
Since Monday last, among other vessels,
the cutter Acushnet has brought into
Vineyard Haven the schooners Silver
Spray. Daniel McLoud. Sunlight and she
then went to the aid of the schooner War
ner Moore and half dozen other craft
The cutter ltasca carried into Province
town, Mass, schooners John Hart I'd,
and Pearl Nelson and earlier in the week
she took the schooner Henry Miller into
Vineyard Haven. She also took the
schooner Luther r. GarIetson from Nam
tucket to Vineyard Haven. In trouble off
Monomoy point, the schooner Meservey
was picked up by the cutter Gresham and
taken to Prorincetown. The Gresham also
aided the four-masted schooner Mount
Hope, which was found at anchor off
Chatham leaking badly. by carrying her
into a safe harbor where repairs could be
made.
