NO ACTION TAKEN AT HIGHWAY MEETING Advocates. of Three Routes Argue at Length Before
 Association

Montgomery, March A.-(Special) Alabama attended a meeting of the Forest Highway association here tonight for the purpose of advocating one of three proposed routes between Mont gomery and Mobile. The routes were designated by the names of the prin- cipal cities through which the three roads would pass-Greenville, Andalusia and Monroeville.
 Arguments in favor of one or the other of the three routes continued from $ O clock until nearly midnight when ad- journment was taken. The association before adjourning, however, decided tc allow the legislative commission organ ization to select the route.
 The meeting here tonight was one of the most enthusiastic gatherings of road promoters ever held in Montgomery. An dalusia had in the neighborhood of 5' representatives present to boost the east. ern route which would include the towns of Luverne AndaIusa, Brewton, Flo maton and Bay Minette.
 Others were here to boost the Green vile route, including that city, Ever green and Monroeville.
 The third proposed route probably had the largest representation. This route would include the towns of Lowndes- boro, Haynesville, Furman, Pineapple, Midway, Monroeville and Bay Minette. The promoters of this route urged it's selection because of the fact that it is more direct than the other proposed roads. They designated it as the bee line.
 The meeting presided over by Richard w. Massey of Birmingham, pres dent of the association. The committee to inspect and select the route south of Montgomery is composed of President Massey, Judge l.. L. HezDerg of Gads- den, James Herring of St. Clair county, A. B. Arlington and W. H. Wheeling of Rome, Ga.

NEWS OF ENSLEY

The cabaret supper given last night at the Eks home on Avenue D proved one of the most enjoyable occasions that has ever been given by the Ensley Elks. There were fully 300 persons in attend ance, and both the set course supper and excellent programme provided were en- joyed to the fullest extent. The cabaret numbers were rendered between the courses and were all of such merit that everyone had to respond to one or more encCres.
 A decided feature was the two star acts from the Lyric theatre, Messrs Van and Schneck, who presented a hgh-class sing ing speciality, and Misses Rapel and Fair fax in refined singing and dancing num- bers. The entire programme was of the highest order.

NO JOINT DEBATE
 IN TENTH DISTRICT
 STATES BANKHEAD
Brother of Congressional Candidate Confident of VictOry-MusgrOvePre-
 diets Hobson Victory

The return of Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson to the campaign for Congress in the Tenth district, after two weeks speaking tour in Texas and Louisiana will not be followed by a joint debate with his opponent, William B. Bankhead This became known last ngiht wher John H. Banlhead, Jr., brother of W. B Bankhead, and J. B Musgrove campaign manager for Captain Hobson, reached the city Hobson is billed to speak Monday at Double Springs, in Winston county at the opening of court Bankhead has engagements for the coming week in Wal ker county. It had been considered pos sible that the two candidates would meet in Winston county Monday at the open ing of court.
 We are ready for the primary now, said John H. Bankhead. Jr. who is at the Tutwiler. T believe Will Bank head is gaining strength every day and think he. will continue to add to his votes until the day of primary. He is making an active campaign, and is speak ing several times each day in different parts of the district. He will continue this plan until the primary, and we are coqfident of the result. Will Bankhead is not indulging in any mud-slinging He is running for the office on his own rec ord and his platform in which he out lines to the people the things he will stand for if elected.'
 l.. B. Musgrove, who was at the Hill man last night, was equally confident Captain Hobson has been out of the district for the past two weeks, but he will resume his speaking campaign Monday, when he opens at Double Springs. He will continue making several addresses daily for sometime, but I am rot in position to say just what his plane are from now until the primary. However we are satisfied Hobson will be elected by a large majority"

combinations formed about 1901 or shortly prior thereto.
 ''The steel corporation and it's sub sidiaries would still occupy an over wnelmingly preponderant position in the steel trade, not as the result of normal growth and development, but as the result of wholesale combina- tion of competitors, and would there- fore be unlawful according to the gov elnment's view if the Tennessee com pany was left out of consideration en- tirely. The Tennessee company was merely one of many important com petitors combined under the control of the steel corporation. It's control by the steel corporation is by no means as important as the control of the Carnegie and Federal steel com panies and number of others.
 Ut follows that in no possible view can the pendency of the governments suit afford any reason for withholding improvements and extensions of the plants of the Tennessee company, which would not apply equally in the case of the other plants controlled by the steel corporation. Indeed, If there be any difference it is in favor of the plants of the Tennessee company, be- cause as stated above, it was the ac- ouisition of the other plants which constitute the primary ground for the suit.
 ''The truth is, of course, that the pendency of the suit is no hindrance to the enlargement of plants, regard less of where located. This is proved by the action of the steel corporation itself during the past year in under taking extensions at number of points involving the expenditure of many millions of dollars.
 REASONS FOR DELAY
 with reference to the delay in press ing the appeal in the steel corporation suit before the supreme court, 1t is stat ed that many of the important lega questions in this suit are involved also in the Harvester company's suit, now furthermore, that there was g desire on the part of the supreme court that the arguments should be heard by a full court whereas there would have been but seven members present had the steel trust suit been argued at any time in recent months. Justice Lamar was absent through illness for several months before his death; Justice McReynolds was by reason of having been at torney general while the suits were being fought out in the lower court, and even now there is a vacancy, owing to the delay in the confirmation of the appoint. ment of Louis D. Brandeis."

Longfellow spoke true in the following line:
 Hospitality sitting with gladness."
 And today the simple form of having cup of tea with ones friends has made a joy of entertainment In years gone by company meant feast; not only of good things but of labor, and thus for a while seeing ones friends in your home was an innovation on custom To- day we find renewed delight in slipping tea together during an informal evening at home-a custom revived.
 There is a great amount of tea wasted. and very little good tea drunk. There is more fault in the making than the blend often, but surely one must know what to buy.
 Good tea is never made in tin, nor never boiled-this is a strange habit, we may say fault, of some very good cooks.
 An earthen tea pot is preferred. Scald your teapot and while smoking hot put in your tea and pour on this your boiling water, let stand where it will keep warm. not over a fire, for about five minutes and serve. A great amount of aroma is wasted in making otherwise.
 There is nothing so exhilerating as well brewed cup of tea.
 There is so much to be said of what we eat and drink, and it is so important to health. that we cannot treat the ma terials indifferently, and now since the United States government is furnishing data and affects of combinations and adulterations there is no excuse for ig rorance on either buying or baking.
 Our greatest error in providing Is that we neglect to observe the combination of dishes that give proper nutriment and satisfy hunger. It has long been ac- knowledged that the simple things to be had are the most wholesome and more easily assimilated-just well prepared every day dishes
 Macaroni is a valuable diet, made from Hours rich in gluten. The flour is mixed with water and the viscidity of the gluten holds the paste and all lows it to be moulded into various shapes and afterward dried slowly.
 It absorbs three times its weight in water in the process of cooking It is a very nutritious article of food, though poorer in nitrogen than as much beef It can be cooked in various ways and with the combination of a small particle of meat, cheese and to- mato sauce one can make a full meal of the dish. Though spagetti has ze- come more popular today it is of the same substance. We have our home brand macaroni here and the making of it is a very interesting lesson and worth visit to the factory.
 If you have not the market habit begin today-visit your grocer, know his price list and be able to compare cost and quality-see the fruits and green stuffs-get the market habit and it grows on you-besides it spares your change.
 FruNs have gone up little today. but a careful selection will equalize against the habit of ordering over the phone. Fresh vegetables are plentiful and not unusually high for the season. Our home marketable products will

the Steel corporation suit, as is sug gested, if for nothing else than to be in a position of having eliminated the ex- cuse which the Steel corporation gives for suspending developments in the south, thereby either calling it's bluff, if it is bluff, or forcing another ex- cuse, or better. still, getting the de- velopments for the resources, markets, transportation facilities and other ad- vantages.
 'The existing Mexican situation is evil dence of the wisdom of your forceful ar guments on the south as a center for the manufacture of war munitions.
 "In view of the impressions which the Steel corporation and others seem to have, that the building of plants in the Birmingham district is not advisable while the suit is pending, the Birming- ham people would like to have it ex- plained to their simple minds why it should prejudice the interests of the cor poration any more to make appropriation to build new plants in the Birmingham district than it should to pursue similar policies at Gary. It, would indeed be fortunate from many viewpoints if some explanation clearing up these impressions could be made through the Attorney General or other proper channels. as It may be possible that the Birmingham district is being deprived of developments under a misapprehension on the part of parties who probably like to seize exist ing opportunities to extend operations and increase prOfitS.'

1 United States Steel corporation prevents
 the development of the Alabama constit- I uent of the corporation.
 It IS stated that the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company was one of 1 the units of the steel corporation thar | was regarded by the government as l among those of lesser importance. Never- theiess, It was asserted in the course of the trial in the lower court that tha cor poration absorbed the Tennessee comma ny not to develop it, but merely to re-
 move the competition of an independent concern.
 The argument is made that if the steel corporation wanted to develop that company, it could do so under the same | terms on which development has been
 undertaken in other units which the gov
 ernment seeks to segregate. The very
 1act that the Tennessee company is not being expanded and improved, as are the Carnegie company and other units whose legality is questioned, is regard ed by the government as further proof | Of its charge that there was never any intention of developing them, and that | they were bought merely to remove com | petition.
 "A letter written by the president of the Alabama Chamber of Commerce set 1 ting forth the improvements that are be- 1 ing made by the United States Steel cor | poration in plants other than those at l Alabama. and inquiring whether the req l son for this failure is because of the pending suit against the steel corpora l ton, has been received at the Depart ment of Justice. This letter will be an- swered by the Attorney General. and in ] all probability the position of the govern 1 ment will be set forth in the same de- tail as appears herewith in the formal statement of the governments position.

GOVERNMENTS ATTITUDE

With reference to the claim that the failure to develop the Tennessee Coal ap6 Iron company is due to the pending suit the following statement. obtained by the Washington correspondent of the Mann. facturers Record, can be regarded as ar authoritative outline of the government $ position:
 The statement said to have been made by the United States Steel cor pcration that the government s suit against it is based mainly upon it's ownership of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company. and that. therefore, it cannot safely enlarge it's operations in the south, though it can do so elsewhere without danger, is wholly without foundation.

FROM PROMINENT MEN

"This letter comes from one of the fore i most men of Birmingham, a democrat 1 but democrat who recognizes the short comings of the democratic party in it's handling of southern business questions l 'The development of the south is be- l ing greatly hindered by the delay in the l settlement of the suit against the Steel corporation. Every day that this is de- Ilayed the development of the south is delayed, as well as the development of 1.-the iron and steel interests of the south
 which would make for national welfare and safety.
 | If the administration would give heed l to this situation. it would certainly, it
 seems to us, ask the supreme court to ltake up the matter of the suit immediate Ily. The request made by the legal de- partment of the government that this suit | be further delayed is another direct slap
 at the industrial progress of the south.
 It seems almost inconceivable that the legal department of the government should have so little appreciation of the importance of prompt settlement of this case as to continue to drag it out in- | ldeflnitely to the great disadvantage of the south and of the nation Instead of ask
 ing for an extension of time. the govern ment, in the interest of the nation. should be asking for an immediate trial and ! final settlement of the case. Legal de- | lays and technicalities on the part of the | government m tnlS case are costing the south millions and millions of dollars of ] loss.
 CORPORATIONS ATTITUDE ! "In reply to the question raised as to | why the Steel corporation can expand plants located elsewhere and cannot ac- i cording to it's judgment, expand it's Ala bama plants we have been informed that l the suit was largely based on the pur- chase of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and | Railroad company, and the claim made l by the government that that ownership
 created a monopoly This plant. therefore, ] is in a very different position, in the judgment of the Steel corporation of- 1 ficials from that of other companies But flor the purchase of the Tennessee Coal i Iron and Railroad company it is probable | that no suit would have been entered, | and the whole argument of the govern ment practically hinged on that deal as l creating an alleged monopoly. The Steel corporation thus seems estopped from making any further large developments | in Alabama while this suit lasts. although 1 it can go ahead everywhere else. This l as we understand it, is the position of the | officials of the Steel corporation.

an interest in Indian fairs amon;;

From information obtained from
persons from this reservation who
attended the Red Lake fair, it was
big success in every respect; the
display of farm produce, Indian
bead and other work, being much
better than the average.
The amusements were many and
varied, and the whites who attend
ed the fair enjoyed it immensely
according to all accounts.
With regard to Indian fairs, it
