a two-color collar, although this does
not mean that you should make it up
in two colors.
The material OF this blouse is soft

COMES TO INSPECT
GRADE CROSSINGS
Illinois Central Is Making
Special Study of Means to
Lessen Accidents

The grade crossing perils in Birming-
ham are to be studied and counted.
P. J. Foley, general manager of the
Illinois Central railroad, is investigating
the road crossings in an effort to make
the people stop! Look! and Lsten!"
and will dispatch a man to Birmingham
soon to watch the conduct of the local
motorists, pedestrians and drivers. A
report on the menacing crossings will be
compiled. A w. Ellington, train master
for the Birmingham district, will be the
man to make the investigation in all
likelihood.
In the interests Of safety, the Illinois
Central has conducted similar investiga-
recently, Mr.. Ellington, unknown to
either the f1agman or persons who
crossed the railroad tracks afoot and in
vehicles, made an observation of the
passersby, and noted their passage. Dur
ing the time that he was stationed at his
post PSI people crossed over the tracks.
Watching as closely as he could each
person passing over the tracks during
the interval in which two trains sped
by. he estimated that 70 per cent Of the
people took no precaution against pos
sible wreck and accidents.
His investigation was detailed and was
carefully compiled. 1t contained an OBJ
servation about every vehicle that dis
regarded the usual precaution taken to
insure a safe passage.
Birmingham crossings will be the site
of an early investigation, 1t Is announced
at the Birmingham office of the Illinois
Central.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
FINANCIAL MARKET
Coppers and Allied Stocks
Were the Outstanding
Features

New York November 1S--There were
times during this weeks excessively &C
tive and unbridIed speculation when it
seemed likely that prices might undergo
downward revision or impairment as a
result of the reimbursement Of opinions
resulting from recent political events.
Local selling was more than overcome by
interior buying, however, and the inter
ruption to the almost steady advance of
the past three months proved to be only
temporary.
Coppers and allied stocks were the out
standing features, those issues far ex-
ceeding United States Steel and all other
industrials, equipments and munitions.
Virtually every one of the metal stocka
lose to record prices, their upswing be-
ing accompanied by unprecedented quo
tationS.
1t is generally recognized by now that
the copper production of this country is
sold OUT for the first half of the COM
ing year if not beyond that period. As
for spot copper in the commercial
sense that staple has become more scarce
than almost any other of the so-called
precious metals.
Conditions scarcely less favorable con-
tinue to apply to the steel industry in
which further advances of much-needed
llIlSneu prouucLS, llcluulnS rails, vera
duly scheduled. The shares of numerous
Independent steel and iron companies
rivalled the movement in coppers and sew
eral of the leading issues in that class,
notably Republic Iron and Sloss-Sheffield
Steel are expected to disburse profits in
the form of dividends before long.
Rails were mostly under depression due
to the determination of their executives
to fight the eight-hour law. Earnings OF
the prominent systems continue to make
favorable comparison with excellent re-
turns of recent months and the restora-
ton of Chesapeake and Ohio to divi-
dend basis is likely to be followed by
other roads of the same class.

Huntsville, November 1S.-(Special.]
Circuit Judge B. NJ. Miller of Camden
has made good in Huntsville.
Judge Miller, who was designated
by Chief Justice John C. Anderson OF
the state supreme court to relieve
Judge Charles Brickell for the fall
term of court and also to preside over
the trial of David D. Overton, for
mer political leader of Madison coun-
ty, has completely won over the men,
bers of the Huntsville bar by his Wig
orous methods on the bench. He is
Judge that "makes them work" the
lawyers assert.
At 10 o'clock this morning Judge
Miller was able to adjourn court with
the civil docket of the week cleaned
up-an unusual record for Madison
county. Some 60-odd cases were dis
posed of-some of an ancient vintage
which had been continued from time
to time in the past. However, with
Judge Miller the old cases were jumped
on from the very start and before the
middle of the week after few default
judgments had been handed down the
local attorneys went to settling the
old cases with vim that finally re-
suited in the cleaning up OF the civil
docket this morning.
HE WORKS FAST
Judge Miller works very tast &C

RECORD IS BROKEN
BYSTEEL AND IRON
SENT OVER SEAS
Over 10000 Tons Left Biz
mingham During October
for ExpOrt-SOme to
China and Japan

Birmingham set g. new record for ex-
port of iron and steel during the month
of October.
over 10000 tons of the crude materials
that will be used in metal work in for
eign lands were shipped from the Bir-
mingham district during the past month.
All previous records for tonnage shipped
for foreign consumption were broken.
The greater part OF the foreign-bound
cargoes was pig iron. Over 10000 tons
of this commodity were consigned for use
of foreign manufacturers and metal
workers.
Shipments of steel billets to the extent
of 10000 tons completed the tonnage that
left the district. BY conservative esti-
mates. at the prices for iron and steel
that prevailed during October, the Biz
mingham district received over $1,000
from foreign firms.
Three years ago expectation Of pig
iron from Birmingham to foreign coun-
tries was unheard of. Virtually all of
the orders for export trade have come
since the outbreak of the war. When
peace prevails in Europe the district will
lose undoubtedly a vast part of the ex-
port trade, but Birmingham manufac-
turers state that England, France and
the other warning nations will never pc
able to get back all of the business that
has been diverted to Birmingham manu-
facturers OF steel and iron.
Some of the shipments made during
October were to Cuba and the South
American countries and were not consid-
cred as war orders.
Since the outbreak of the war some
steel has been shipped from Birmingham
to Japan and China.

Butler County Farmers
Selling Beans and Peanuts

Greenville November 1S.-(Special)
Thousands of dollars are being put into
circulation in Greenville and Butler
county through the sale of Velvet beans
and peanuts, two crops that have been
grown with unusual success this year.
Every road that leads into Greenville
is watched by eager buyers for these
crops.
The Butler County Milling company is
about ready for operation, and this com
pany is buying these crops and also corn.
The shortness of the cotton crop in this
county has been felt by all business men,
and with these extra crops coming in,
is to a large extent greatly boosting bust
ness conditions.

IN FINE CONDITION

Mr.. Ayers states that Admission is in
better condition than it has ever been
before. Every industry in the city is
running, with one exception, and the
plant excepted is now closed down for
repairs that will place it in better con-
dition than ever before This industry,
the Lynchburg foundry, will start to
operating again soon after Christmas.
Rapid progress Is being made on the
new steel plant. he said. and the mu-
nitions plant Is working night and day
on war orders. All the pipe plants are
in operation, and the only untoward
circumstance in connection swith the
city's business is the inability to Sc
cure enough freight cars to handle the
traffic. This will be overcome in large
measure, he said. when the Seaboard is
extended to Admission, which may be in
the near future.

Harry M. Eyers Talks of
Kilby's Chances
AN IDEAL GOVERNOR
Says Man Who Won Name of Claw
Enforcement Mayor" Is Man
to Direct the States
Affairs

If the rest of Alabama and the south
were enjoying the same prosperity
which Admission is now experiencing,
there would be no reason for any com
plant about business and financial con-
dttions, according to reports brought
to Birmingham yesterday by Harry M.
Ayres, editor of the Admission Evening
Star Mr.. Ayres was highly optimistic
over the situation and likewise took
occasion to tell of the reason why
Lieutenant Governor Thomas E. Kilby,
his fellow townsman, was very
strong candidate for the office of chief
executive of the state and one in every
way qualified for the honor.
Mr.. Ayres told of the new industries
now being constructed in his city and
declared that with the extension of the
.Seaboard Air Line to Admission, which
he predicted would take place at an
early date, the car shortage the only
hindrance to industrial conditions in
that district, would be overcome.
''The next governor of Alabama, in
my opinion, will be either Thomas e.
Kilby, my fellow townsman, or the man
who defeats him." said Mr.. Ayres, who
was here to attend the Auburn-Vander-
bilt football game. "And I do not be-
lieve there is a man in Alabama who
can defeat Mr.. Kilby," he added, las
the present lieutenant governor is, in
every sense, the man of the hour to
cope with the conditions which now
exist in this state"
