LETTERS TO EDITOR
Letter From Miss Jellicoe
he Editor of The Age-Heraid.

To the Editor of The Age-Heraid.
 At the invitation of the directors of the British and Foreign Sailors society, l have undertaken to issue special ap- peal on behalf of the great national work carried on by the society for our sailors and for those who are dear to them. Her majesty, Queen Alexandra, has graciously expressed her approval of the appeal, and her earnest hope that 1t will receive the generous support of the British people.
 The British and Foreign Sailors society is about to complete it's hundredth year of service and sum of not less than $250,- 900 will be needed to ensure the con tinuance of it's beneficent agencies. The success with which this work has been carried on, before and during the war, has won the confidence and appreciation of the authorities generally, and of the seamen themselves.
 On the definite request Of the admir- alty authorities, the society is about to erect additional naval rests at various naval bases, for the welfare and comfort of sailors when on shore. The society has also been urged to extend similar provision for merchant seamen in many ports.
 have seen evidence of the splendid re- lief work of this society in providing clothes and food for sailors interned in Germany, dispensing immediate practical assistance to disabled sailors and depend ents of seamen who have fallen on war service; in providing an education for sailors orphans, and especially in feed ing, sheltering, clothing and forwarding to their various homes many thousands of merchant seamen whose vessels have been sunk by enemy action.
 Surely there is no one, who would will ingly turn deaf ear to the claims of these brave men and women, to whom the whole nation owes so profound a debt of gratitude? For their sake I sim cerely hope that I may rely on the CO., operation of your readers In a really gen. erous response to the centenary appeal of the British and Foreign Sailors so- ciety. Letters can be addressed to me at the Mall House Admiralty, London. g. w., marked ''B. F. s. s. Centenary. Very truly yours.

Iron and Steel ReUiew

ment covering the application of recently
 announced prices throws light on some
 obscure points.
 Offers of finished steel in the open
 market at the fixed prices are increasing,
 but tonnage still is limited and either
 regular customers or attractive business
 opportunities are receiving the prefer
 ence.
 Official adoption of the grade differen- tials in pig iron still is defererd. This
 delay shows that any disposition to ac- cept the recommendations of producers in this matter has been premature. In this connection, new plan has brought forth for solution question in which are incorporated features cousid- erably different from the original pro-
 posal Producers continue more freely
 to quote the price of $33 base, subject to differentials, to be subsequently deter mined, based on estimates of customers as to their needs for first half. Some producers express renewed doubts that the country's production will be able to meet all requirements. Shortages of coke, which have been growing more acute therefore represent an even more serious factor. Some further banking of furnaces has been necessitated, notably in the east, and many melters are main taining operations only by borrowing
 from better supplied neighbors

The laws in respect to examlna-

evasion in various ways, chief OF
which was, and is, the failure or ina
bility to enforce the law on the part
of those responsible.
We cannot hope to attain the
eminence Of the great Fauchard, but
we do strive to be worthy followers
of an illustrious predecessor, and it
is for that reason that we pattern
our conduct upon his doctrine Of
knowledge, Principle and System.
II is for that reason that we employ
none but Licensed Graduate Dentists
who have had years of actual, prac-
teal experience, instead Of using
incompetents who, having no pro-
fessional standing, have no valued
professional reputation to safeguard.
II is for that reason that our large

honesty and decent regard for all,

NITRATE BOARD ID BE CHEERED BY TW|N-C|TY CROWD Albany and Decatur Have Unique Plan to Show Honor to Members

 Word having been passed out that this is strictly business trip and that the commission is not seeking entertainment. fomal functions of all kinds have been tabooed. Instead when the commission embarks on the steamer Lookout early Monday morning on the last leg of the trip to Muscle Shoals they will be cheered to the echo by crowds that will have as- sembled on the banks of the Tennessee river.

 Counsel for one side objected to a per- son whose name was on the courts reg ister for some purpose or other. on the ground that he was dead. The counsel on the other side declined to accept the as- surance and demanded conclusive testi- mony on the point.
 "Whereupon counsel for the other side arose and gave corroborative evidence as to the decease of the man in question.

 Well was the reply. I don't know. It's very difficult to prove.
