The American Eagle ($I0gold piece)
now scars Ove all the world as the sole
standard of value, more correctly speak
ing the leading unit of account, because
the value of gold char ges like that of
other materials and does not have a
stable value nor intrinsic value as most
persons believe.

The cry of Irrational honor and sound

this country no longer exists in England
becau;e the gold unit Of English money
the pound sterling, which has a value
of $4.S7 in u. S. money, is now at a
discount, being worth only $4.60.v
No great war has been successfully
fought on a gold standard. Foreign
countries are now straining their credits

money kings of the earth for unborn
generations to pay.
Great is the game Of wal started and

When will the people learn and be

Great is the American Eagle $50
gold piece. Great is the American gold
dollar. which does not exist because
gold dollars are not coined.
Also equally as great is the Eagle on
the silver dollar, the dollar of u
daddies and their first standard of value

unit of account.
The Eagle on every silver dollar scars
as high when given the same legal limits.

Let me warn you, now: Don't stall;
Be quite frank and tell me all.
Are your children pink or blue?
Is your husband false or true?
This same question, lady fair,
/ must ask about your hair.
Can you speak, or are you dumb?
Does your baby suck its thumb
And-I hope / do not vex
When | ask it-What's your sex?
Have you, pray, a normal brain?
Were you ever judged insane2
What's the reason you're go pale?
Have you ever been in Jail?
Tell me-what's your taste in plays?
WHAT'S the number OF your stays?
When did you lay off your rats?
What's the price you pay for hats?
just how often do you pray?
What, exactly, do you weigh?
WHAT'S the size, please, of your shoes?
What tooth powder do you use?
DO you darn your husbands socks?
DO you make your children's frocks?
Have you ever taken dope?
WHAT'S your recipe for soap?
Can you read and can you write2
Are you black or are you white?

That | wish you'd go away,
For-deny it if you can
You're a questionable man.

THREE MORE STACKS
 ARE bLOWN|Nb BY THE STEEL CORPORATION
Iron Trade Review Finds Market Conditions Very Encouraging = War
 Orders Big Factor

Cleveland, O.. February 1O-tSpecia1.) The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The United States Steel corporation con-
 tinues to add to it's active blast furnace capacity and has ordered the blowing in of three more stacks. The corporation now is operating at nearly 60 per cent of ingot capacity. compared with 55 per cent last week and 50 per cent two weeks ago. Some plant improvements have already been ordered and others are under con- sideration.
 While improvement in activities of in- dependents is probably not as decided as that of the Steel corporation, the gem eral trend is in the right direction. The American Steel and Wire company has advanced prices of wire products $1 per ton.
 Buying of steel rails continues in a constructive way. The total purchases of the Burlington, which recently purchased about 5000 tons will amount to about double that tonnage. The order of the French government railways as finally closed by the Baldwin Locomotive com pany. Is for 106 locomotives. The Ameri- can Car and Foundry company has taken an order for 1000 refrigerator cars for the Illinois Central. Inquiries for about 4000 cars are now pending.
 War orders are still responsible for 8 large amount of business in the machin- cry market, but orders from railroads have been a factor of some importance during the past week. A Brooklyn buyer has purchased more than 100 additional lathes.
 The Bethlehem Steel company has again been a purchaser of fathes. Some lathe makers in Cincinnati recently have re- fused orders of good size because they have contracts hand to keep them busy several months.
 Eastern ship building yards now have more orders on their books than for a number of years. One Atlantic yard has enough work on hand to keep it busy until we'll Into 1916.
 The demand for ship plates has placed eastern mills In better position and the general plate market show general improvements. The batteship California will require about 15.000 tons of plates and 2600 tons of shapes. The contract for 200o0 tons of steel for grade crossing work at Indianapolis have been placed but the names of the companies to which the awards have been made have not been announced. Subway and elevated work in Greater New York will require 100000 tons additional Bids are being received this week on 1900 tons. Lettings on this work to date amount to 450,000 tons,
