 It was considered surprising that the wife of the man who was putting up the new pala"c should have asked for new foreman But she did. and it was no more than the duty of tue architects to obey. So Il new snperin. tcndcnt reported the next morning.
 One of the architects had the cOur age to ask the august lady what had happened. since the former supcrin ;cudent of the job, which was easil! t!ic most important the firm had, was known to be polite and courteous al ways. It seemed. according to the lady. that he had been familiar"

INDIAN INDIA.
The Part Ruled by Natives In Their
 Own Right and Nance.

The Part Ruled by Natives in Their
 Own Right and Namss.
 The notion prevails in the United States that all India belongs to the British and is administered by them. This Is an utterly erroneous idea. A very large and populous portion of the peninsula Is in the possession of Its own people. and is ruled by them, with little or no interference from the Brit. ish. I have coixed the term "Indian India" to differentiate between the In- dia belonging to Indians and that in the possession of the British.
 Indian India, with its area of S50,000 square miles, is almost one-third as large as continental United States. Its population, 7S,0O0.0OO persons, Ia . lit. tie less than four-Hfths that of this country. Politically British India is united. It is divided into three preai. dencies and twelve provinces. which are under the supreme government of India presided over by the viceroy and governor general, who is under the sec retary of state for India-a member of the British cabinet. Indian India, on the contrary, is not one political entity.
 During recent years I have had the privilege of coming in close contact with several Indians who rule in their own right and nams. and have watch cd their public and private lives. With out a single exception have found the Indian rulers to be men of great ad- ministrative capacity and statesman. ship, all devoted to the welfare of their subjects and interested in all sorts of reform movements. Not many public servants CT business men in America or elsewhere work so hard or so unseitish- iy as do these Indian potentates.-St Nihal Singh in Southern Workman.

DEMAND FOR STEEL AND IRON PRODUCTS
 CONTINUES HEAVY
In Addition to Government Requirements For Ship Material, Domestic
 Roads in Market

New York, April 22-An extraordinarily heavy demand continues for all rolled steel products but the greatest pressure is for plates, sheets, tin plate and struc- tural shapes for ship building.
 The government requirements for vari- ous products are causing some necessary redistribution of semi-flnished steel among the finishing mills, resulting In the stimulation of output of sheets and tin plate at the expense of wire products and some miscellaneous forms. The ad- vance of s6 per ton in the price of wire products by various independent manu- lecturers may be due to the cutting down of the output.
 One interesting development is the in- creased demand for soft steel bars and special steel from agricultural machinery manufacturers who are preparing to greatly increase output in order to as sst the government campaign for inten- sified farming
 Current buying of railroad equipment has been reduced to very small propor- tions, but domestic roads have suddenly come into the market for a large ton mage Ol TdllS IOI OcllYSFy III lIle ldSL quarter of 1918.
 It is estimated that fully 5O0pOO tons are now under negotiation. The Carnegie Steel company will furnish 1S,000 tons of plates and shapes for torpedo boat de- stroyers for the United States govern ment. Thus far the steel corporation has borne the brunt of the navy steel re- quirements, but steps are now being taken to distribute orders more equitably among independent plate and structural mills.
 There is some concern regarding the outcome of heavy concessions on prices of steel products to the government, but with capacity oversold and the demand never so great, on domestic and foreign account, manufacturers do not anticipate any serious decline in prices. Producers of raw material that enter into the man. ufacture of steel, however. are likely to be called upon to make concessions.
 Pig iron sales aggregate 160,000 tons, with foundry grades higher in the east.

SECURITY MARKET
 CONTINUES WEAK
 THROUGHOUT WEEK
Traders Are Awaiting For Something Definite in the Way of New Taxation.
 Prices Are Lower
By Hop

New York April 2.-Government fi- nancing and taxation in relation to the war were again the paramount and per plexing features of full and irregular week. Advances In the first half of the period were largely if not wholly lost in the enforced selling and bearish pres sure of the past few days.
 It appears to be accepted that all war shares will be made to contribute heavily out of earnings to the revenues of the government.
 Shippings were again under severe de- pression because of the British govern ments extension of control over it's mer- chant marine. step soon to be followed, 1t is broadly intimated, by the author tiles at Washington.
 In line with this action are the many measures now under congressional con- sideration which have for their chief aim the enforcement of price regulation of all commodities especially foodstuffs. The spectacular course of the grain mar kets during the week, it was thought, may hasten the enactment of such legis- laton.
 The investment market continues to wait developments at Washington. It is understood here that more than half of the proposed 5000 G00OO0 bond issue will be offered at the outset.
 Widespread opposition by shippers to the tentative freight rate increase will occupy the attention of the interstate commerce commission during the next few weeks.
