P. A. Y. E. CARS OF
 TWO TYPES FOR
 LINES HERE SOON

Of the 92 prepayment cars which the Connecticut company is having built, 46 in Springfield, at the shops of the Wason Manufacturing company, and 46 at the Osgood Bradley Car com pany's plant in Worcester, there are two distinct types. The Wason cars two distinct types The Wason cars those from Bradley's will be only semi convertible. The difference, though. hardly apparent during the ,closed-car season, will be conspicuous in summer. The convertible cars have windows in two sashes, and wooden panel beneath,\all of which in warm weather will be4 removed and stored away, leaving the sides wide open from the roof to vt thin a few inches of the floor. Leatherite curtains will keep out rain, and iron gratings will prevent passage through the open ,ings, entrance and exit of all times being through the prepayment plat form. The semi-convertible cars have large windows, sliding out of sight into pockets, on patented runways, and while somtimes preferable for rainy weather. will differ but slightly from ordinary closed cars, so far as amount. of open space is concerned. even with the windows open. In all other respects the two types will be similar.
 Cars of the senpi-convertible type are extensively used by the Boston Elevated Railway company and the Bay State Street Railway company, two large Massachusetts systems, and nearer home there are a few in Mid dletown,- and on the new green line from Mil1dale to Waterbury. The full convertib1es have long been in use by the Third Avenue Railway company in New York, and are operated in Springfield and Worcester.
 The first of the new lot of cars will go to Bridgeport next week.

P|G IRON TRADE
 IS VERY ACTIVE Tons Sold in Buffalo District in the Last
 Few Days

Cleveland, O., March 24-(Special 1.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Sales of pig iron in the Buffalo district during the past few days have amounted to about 100000 tons This is the only important buying movement since last November. When about the same ton mage was placed, but it differs from the November, when about the same ton very large number of orders Some of more important buyers were able to place their orders at as low as $11 .50 furnace for No. ? x, but it is believed that q greater part of the tonnage was placed at $11.75 to SIP.
 The foreign demand for lathes con- tinues and almost the only question in- volved in the placing of the business is that of delivery. The Bethlehem Steel company, in addition to inquiring for 300 lathes, as heretofore reported is figuring on buying a large number of other ma chine tools Some manufacturers of planers and shippers have abandoned tenn porarily the manufacture of their prod ucts and are making milling machines and parts for lathes. This is especially true in Cincinnati.
 The corporation continues to operate at about 70 per cent ingot capacity. Its new business and shipments are about equal and the thrilled tonnage for March will probably show little change. Its for eign business last week was the best since the war was declared
 The Steel corporation has sold 12,0oo tons of rails for shipments to the far east and 5000 tons for Greece.
 The Great Northern has closed for 20o0 additional tons with the Illinois Steel company, while $500 tons previously re- ported for the Northern Pacific have been formally entered. Tine Lakewood Engi- nering company has taken an order from the French government for 90 miles of portable track.
 Considerable strength has been added to the steel bar market by heavy in- quiries for rounds for the manufacture of shrapnel and the market is firm at $1 15 Pittsburg. The firmness of the prices of steel bars is responsible in part for advanced quotations on nuts and bolts, for which demand has recently shown im- provement. Some implement makers are planning supplemental orders for steel bars.

and passed on.
These two women were perfect ex-

Cordially is a fire on the hearth of

glamor and even the stranger feels its
cheerful influence in his momentary
contact with its owner. The heart of
a person who utterly lacks cordially

be beautifully furnished, but no one
feels cheered or at home. in it, even its
owner.
1 know a woman whom everybody
likes. She is rather plain and not ter

You always feel cheered and warmed
by meeting her. 1t is the influence
of the beautiful fire that always blazes
on the hearth of her heart. 1t shines
through her eyes, the windows of
her heart and soul, and warns her

Cordially is a great gift. Or is it
wholly a gift? Cannot one kindle the
fire by deliberate effort of ones will?
I'm not quite sure which is the way
of it. 1 guess it's about six of natural
