New Burglar Alarm

For the fellow who would rather steal than work, life is getting harder all the time.
 Take the case of the thief who broke into a photographic studio in Belle vile, H., the other day. From the viewpoint of the prowler, photo- graph shop ought to be quite safe for the plying of his trade Nothing more dangerous than the chemicals would be expected in such a place and likewise little of value to any save the photographer would be found there.
 But the owner of the studio in Belleville had been fearful of robbery for sometime. Therefore he installed an automatic device to photograph the interior of his studio at stated inter- vals, the device being operated by or dinary burglar alarm apparatus.
 Now the photographer is out con siderable photographic supplies, but he is able to furnish the police the very best kind of description of the thief. In fact, he turned over sev- eral photographs of the burglar at work-one of which shows him in the act of putting lens into his pocket.
 Once the thief is caught there should be no difficulty in proving his guilt-the photographs being power- ful, though silent, witnesses.
 Herein is a suggestion which may well be taken advantage of by manu- lecturers of burglar alarm apparatus, for if it worked so well in the photo graphic studio, it might prove effec- tive as protection to bank vaults and other repositories of valuables.
 It's hard on the thief, of course, but then burglary is getting rather un- popular as an occupation, anyway.

Peaches Plentiful

More peaches are now being placed on the local market, I believe, than has been the case for several seasons past" remarked Walter Blackman.
 shipments are coming from all parts of the state and from surrounding ter ritory. Fruit of excellent quality is being produced right here in Jefferson county and I understand that some orchard men are making good profits.
 At times, however, the local market is almost gutted with the fruit, and it becomes necessary for the peddler and dealer to become extremely busy to dis pose of the surplus stock. This recalls an exciting scene witnessed the other day on one of Birmngham's thorough fares. A hucl<ster drove down the ave- nue at a good pace shouting loudly the merits of his ware Ripe. juicy fruit of a scarlet hue was heaped in a huge pile extending high above the guards. Sud- denly the horse took fright and the driver. who sat on a high spring seat, lost his balance and fell backward onto his load with a dull thud Fruit was scattered in every direction, but the driver fortunately retained his presenca of mind, quickly recovered the reins and brought the animal to a stop without spilling more than one-third of the load. :"

Talk of Another Steel Corporation

'The project said to be on foot to organ ize the independent companies into a combine would, if 1t materializes, give the country another great corporation like the United States Steel" remar rked John s. Brett of Chicago.
 ''When was in Cleveland the other day I found the proposed independent merger the chief topic of conversation in bust ness circles.
 "A few years ago an effort was made to consolidate the Independents, but many of the concerns under consideration were small compared with the strength of the companies now named. The Antitrust agitation prevalent at the time referred to was responsible, I believe, for the failure of the scheme.
 When the United States federal court at Trenton decided in favor of the United States Steel corporation trust-busting was doomed. The decision was a great thing for big business and a great thing for the country. The United States supreme court will doubtless affirm the Trenton decision, and then all corporate interests conducted fairly and not in restraint of trade will breathe freer. The proposed independent merger would be a lively com petitor of the United States Steel cor poration but there would be room enough for both of them.
 According to the Cleveland Leader, MT. Schwab is slated for president of,the independent combine. These are the com ranies that are said to be lined up Colo rado Fuel and Iron company, owned by the Rockefellers; Jones & Laughlin Steel company of Pttsburg. known as the greatest of all the Independents; Cru cible Steel Company of America. once Lowned in Pittsburg, but whose control in the last few months has drifted to Wall street. Lackawanna Steel company of Buffalo, controlled by the Wander
 bits, Horace E. Andrews and interests identified with Pickands. Mather & Co. of Cleveland; Pennsylvania and Cambria Steel companies, control of which rests
 with the Pennsylvania railroad, whose 1 holdings have been optioned to William H. Donner, personal friend of Mir. Prick eIt is reported that the Republic Iron and Steel company and the Youngstown Sheet and Tube company, affiliated with | Pickands- Mather interests, may also join l the merger which also may take in | upward of s1o0.o0O.Oo0 worth of lake | steamship and Lake Superior iron ore ! enterprises controlled by interests of Cleveland.
 "The Inland Steel company of Chicago, the Brier Hill Steel company of Youngs- | town, the La Belle Ironworks of Wheel | ing and others in the same class in the Mahoning and Shenango valley are men,
 tioned as possible members of the new | combine.
 Since arriving in Birmingham 1 have
 read in New York papers denials that any
 merger project was being considered. MT. Schwab was positive in his denial. as Laughlin.'
