 United States Steel's rise to It's best price ir five years was predicted mainly on favorable expectations regarding the corporations quarterly financial statement to be published Tuesday. Independent steel companies report activity up to full capacity and further upward price re- visions are probable Taking the steel industry as a whole conditions are more promising than at any time since 1909-10.
 General lines of business are going for ward. according to reliable data, and the crop movement, soon to begin, will give tremendous impetus to railroad tonnage. Railway earnings are increasing.
 Europe continued to liquidate stocks and bonds, and to that fact as much as any other was attributed the semi-demor- auzed state of international exchange. de- mand sterling showing decline of about 18c for the week It is not improbable also that further private sales of Amer lean securities by foreign interests have reached large totals in recent weeks. Do- nestle demand for investment stocks was relatively light but the average price ot higl-grade railways was near the years high level.
 The most remarkable feature of the domestic monetary situation was the fact that initial payments connected with the Ant O. French loan made not the slight est disturbance in rates.

BRITISH ADMIRALTY. WATCHING ACTIONS.
 0F NEUTRAL VESSELS.
Ten American Ships Posted Said to Be Controlled by
 German Capital

London, October 24-There was posted at the British admiralty today a list of 1! neutral vessels, 10 of which fly the American flag. and a warning to British shippers to be careful in chartering these ships, which are suspected by the au- thorities of being either controlled by German capital or engaged fin an un- neutral service.
 Any ship on the list which provides evidence to the contrary will be imme- diately removed from the list, admir- alty officials said It is difficult for an ordinary charterer to procure evi- dence that he is using a ship which might bring him into conflict with the law against trading with the enemy, so the admiralty is endeavoring to safe guard him, but recognizing the presence of tEe name of the ship on such a list works a real hardship. Every effort will te made to include them in the list. Yes sels on the list promising to trade only witt the entente allies or in an unsus- pected trade will be eliminated from the list.
 The 10 American ships on the list be- long to A. Jensen or the American Trans atlantic company. Their names are: AL lsguash, Ausabt, Genesie, Hooking, Kan kakee, Maumee. Seneca. Spyros. Vallia- nos. Winnebargo and Winneconne.
 The following nations are represented on the tabooed list: Denmark. eight ships belonging to the same company as do the above named American vessels; Nor way, Is ships; Sweden. two; Spain, one: Holland, four and Brazil. four.

He covers ground so rapidly that he had sold his wares to every merchant in the town in the early morning. and spent the after noon demonstrating his stuff to house. wives on the rural routes, in order to create demand and get recorders. At that, he managed to get the 4:1O train home.
 Murray Carman of Tuscaloosa re- gently joined the T. F. A. Mir. carman is the kind of a fellow everyone wants to be present when anything worth while is going to happen. If he is not now member of the U c. T. he should join. It would not be bad idea for some of you loyal members of coun- cil No 112 to tackle him this week while you are in his territory He would be an excellent addition.
 E. w. Stay became a member of Montgomery post A. T. P A, few weeks ago. Mir. Stay is one of the livest men in the state. He will be invaluable to the work of the T. P. A. in this state, and the Montgomery post is to be congratulated on its good work in securing him
 The writer has heard rumors to the effect that two of the best salesmen in this territory have been the subject of serious criticism because of per sonal items appearing in these col umns on Monday mornings At their request, their names will not again ap- pear here-at least, not for some weeks.
 I am very sorry for the criticism. and at the same time glad that they are larger than their critics. Their names are not withheld because of the criticism. but In the interests of har- mony in the ranks of one of the tray cling mems organizations They hold their organizations in high esteem, as does the writer. The matter will be worked out in time and those who have been unlxind will come to a real ization of the bigness of those they have criticized.

 Rhode Island has large participation. at least in the number of members in the ui cerwriting syndicate, the share of that state being strangely in contrast with New Jerseys share. which appears to be confined to one private banker of New ark.
 Another feature discovered in this list IS the participation of private bankers Of New York and Boston who have branches in otfe CT states, the participa- ton of these states having been perfect ed through these bankers. firm of pri- vitc bankers of New York and Boston represents California's participation Chi- caeos bank participation is confined to cne bank, the Central Trust company. but there are 13 private banking houses which participate, representing Chicago. Curlously enough, seven of these private banking houses are branches of New York or Boston private banking concerns. Very likely Chicago banks have indirectly participated through these private firms. Although the name of Minnesota does not alpear in the list yet it is commonly Understood that the state has partici- pated, having done that through private Vankers. There is one firm of private the story of magnitude of the business and represents Maryland, Boston, New York and Philadelphia Tn this undervr.t- ing.

BORROWERS
Social Service Department By MRS. SIDNEY NJ. ULLMAN

She nice. kind neighbor. but she porrows me out of house and home; she porrows my children to go on errands, ny cook for parties and any day I ex- pect her to want to borrow my only hus- band. Like Sis Hopkins she loolss-lf she doesn't come out with such blessed candor and say that if I don't lend them to her, shell think l haven't got them and what am to do.
 This is the story of many good neighbor," who considers the kind, next door lady a substitute for a corner gro- eery; It's just bad memory most of the time, Dnt 1t Is bad taste always
 And 1t is hard to stop? We'll. just you try. First you may offend the borrower and nobody wants to do that. then you might be ir a tight place yourself once and need somebody's pantry to make a raid on; and maybe you cannot bear to say no However. the truth remains that too much of this custom prevails and should be stopped if possible
 The following story from the New York Times will give an idea of what good mans advice was on this subject, and is fitting as hint to the wise:
 Well, I didn't ask you to tell me what to do." retorted Mrs. Oldtimer at the supper table.
 That's woman for your snorted Oldtimer. You'd go along in the same old rut for a year. I know you didn't ask my advice, but you'd better take 1t. You don't seem able to help yourself tell you I can cure that woman"
 How would you go about it?'' queried his wife interestedly
 Oldtimer snorted again System" he exploded. System. That is the stuff It will cure even borrowing neighbor.
 Now, see here: just analyze this case. A woman who is eternally borrowing does 1t because she wants to get some thing for nothing, or because she's just naturally forgetful.
 When the lady comes to borrow any thing from you hereafter just go to a little paper. which you will have hung on the wall, and mark that article down plainly. Do 1t so she can't fail to notice what you are at. If she wants to get something for nothing she'll know then that it's no use. because you can remind her to return all she has got. If she s Just forsetful it'll serve to make her think she ought to try to remember bet ter. In both cases she will return what she hns borrowed. Try 1t and see'

 Dr. John w. Abercrombe. congressman at large was in Tuscaloosa Friday and while here stated that in his opinion Tuscaloosa was the logical place in Ala bama for the location of the proposed armor plate plant which is to be recom- mendedto Congress by Secretary of the Navy Daniels. Dr. Abercrombie gave as his reasons for this view that Tuscaloosa. had transportation facilities unsurpa ssed in Alabama being located on the ''open warrior" with a highway to the sea and at the same time inaccessible to the hos tile fleet of any enemy; and the wealth of raw material which lay at Tuscaloosa's door. He stated. however, that 1t would be suicidal for the Alabama delegation to differ in the fight for this plan as other states will make strong efforts to land it.
