INCREASE IRON OUTPUT

The rejuvenated company desires to increase it's output of pig iron. It is understood that it is contemplating the construction of more stacks inasmucl as the present furnaces are turning out at capacity. The Sloss company is withdrawn from the pig iron mark t, even though iron is selling at $32 a ton.
 In line with the progressive policy it is merely a question of time before the by-product coke ovens are built At the present time the price of ma terials is prohibitive. Even should the company desire to build a plant it would not be- able to get deliveries on some machines within a year. As soon as the times become normal assurances have been given that by-product plants will be added.
 In the meantime the Sloss company is bending every effort to increase it's coke production. Fifty of the Thomas ovens at Coalburg have been reno vated and ordered into service These are an improvement upon the old bee hive ovens. but are not considered modern

TALK OF STEEL PLANT

There is one feature of the talked development that all officials balll at considering now. That is steel plant. They admit that the Sloss com- pany, with it's magnificent reserves for the manufacturing of the raw ma terials for steel should enter into the production of finished steel commod- ities. However, such a plant would cost at least S10.000,00 and the Sloss- Sheffield directors are understood to consider it with the idea of building after the company has proved it's ability to earn more money.
 While no announcement has been made and the source of this informa- tion is reticent to enter into discus sion. it is learned that the Sloss com pany is considering the issuance of several million dollars in stock to pro- vide for greater development
 It Is understood that President Catchings will have some important announcements to make upon his re- turn to Birmingham. The directors and other officials of the company have let it be known that he is in complete charge of operations.

Birmingham is getting ready for six solid days of music, and musicians and musical atmosphere which will feature the week of April 15 to 2S, when the biennial convention of the National Fed eration of Musical Clubs will be in ses- sion here.
 According to Mrs. Houston Davis the question is not how to offer attractions for six days of the week, but how to crowd into so short a time the wonderful assortment of attractions that are at the disposal of the federation
 The programme has been completed and committees are at work planning the de- tails for the convention. Although this will be one of the largest conventions that Birmingham has ever entertained, the women of the board and their com mittees are determined that it shall be the most successful, and every effort is being exerted that nothing may be left undone to mar the artistic atmosphere which comes hand in hand with such a meeting
 The various artists who will appear in concert will be entertained in the homes of local women, and many of the visitors will be registered at the local hotels. Memb CTS of the board are expecting be-

Election of Major SewelI Does Not Mean That the Sloss Company Is to Begin Making
 Munitions
By REUBEN A. LEWIS

The undermining of all it's plants, the immediate increase in the output of pig iron, coal and coke, the grad raI development of the properties these are the changes that will be
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-04-01

made in the Sloss-S Sheffield Steel and Iron company.
 Waddill Catchings, the newly elect ed President, will take up his perma- nent residence in Birmingham.
 The election of Maj. J. s. Sewell. formerly an army officer, to the board of directors does not foreshadow the entry of the Sloss-Sheffield company into the field of the munitions makers. Inasmuch as he was fully acquainted with the properties of the company, was thoroughly competent and lived nearby, Major Sewell was named as a director.
 Henry Parsons, one of the heavy holders of stock, has completed a per sonal survey of the properties of the company both nearby Birmingham and Sheffield. and will arrive in New York this week to present the members of the board with his data.
 The foregoing resume of the devel- opment plans of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company has been learned from reliable source.
 WILL USE LATEST METHODS
 The stockholders of the company be- lieve that the company has potential ities of profit that have not been ob- tained by the present methods and are determined that the latest methods shall be utilized. While the improve ments will be gradual and the con struction of a steel plant is not inn mediately planned. the Sloss-Sheffield company will be 're-energized"
 One improvement is a certainty. The mines of the company will be elec- trified. The mule haulage system is to be relegated into the discard and the Sloss company hopes to reduce it's number of accidents by the introduce tion of such system. This feature alone will mean the expenditure of more than a million dollars if the elec- trification is extended to all the coal mines of the company.
 With these improvements will come an increased production of coal. The development of the production of coal during 1916 was remarkable. Over 300, 900 tons more were mined than during any other previous year. The Sloss company owns great acreage of rich, undeveloped coal lands. It is not impro bable that new openings will be made and that other work will be done. At the present time the Sloss

HYPNOTIST IS
BIJOUFEATURE

Professor Norwood at the Bijou
theater is making good at each per-
Torrance his promise of changes Of
his earlier advertising that he guar
anteed laughs every minute he is on
the stage. Norwood has a bag OF
tricks that are a welcome change to
the local theatergoer He is a hypno-
fist of more than passing ability, and
presents a performance that is clean
from start to finish. Of course, his
subjects play some queer tricks and
perform some singular antics, but
that is tho laugh-producing feature of
all hypnotic shows and that Is what
tie public pays to see.
One of the remarkable features of
this performance is that the perform
err relies entirely upon local talent
for his subjects. The usual hypnotic
act carries a number of property"
subjects who are willing to perform
any of the stunts desire by "the
boss" Not so in this instance. Nor
wood travels alone, his subjects vol
unteering at each performance. This
fact is not only unusual from the
standpoint of the performance, but is
remarkable for the fact that he pro-
duces such wonderful results with
raw material.
Many of those who witness a Nor
wood performance may form the OPP
inion that there is some trick in the
work. Naturally this is correct, but
the trick is handled solely by Norwood,
and the subjects have no part in it
excepting such as he assigns to them
while they are under his hypnotic in
fluence. AS he cleverly explains in
his opening talk, the work has moth
ing of the occult about it. 1t is sim

making this point clear he suggests

WASHINGTON. D. c., Aug A.
The womans committee of the Coun-
Gil OF National Defense has sent the
following letter TO the state chairman:
We are sending you copies Of a
letter on Reduction of deliveries"
written by Miss Ida VI. Tarbell, Of
the wOman's committee, and sent out
at the joint request of our committee
and OF the commercial economy board
Of the Council Of National Defense.
The matter is urgent and should be
taken up at once.
The appeal to the women to act in
this matter is made on the basis Of
patriotic service and not primarily for
the sake OF the economy that may be
involved.
The draft on September l will take
men from the delivery service through
out the country. II some provision
is not Immediately made for decrease
in the number OF deliveries the mer-
chants will. OF necessity, take men
from other occupations which may be
vital TO the welfare Of the nation to
fill the places left vacant by men
called to the army. No man ought
to be taken from essential war indus
tries to carry parcels which women
might carry for themselves, or be re-
quired TO make repeated and unneces-
sary trips at the call of improvident
housewives, This is the time when
every act Of men and women must be
made TO count definitely in the prose
cution Of the war and every bit Of
usless effort must be Eliminated.
Purchasers Must Cooperate
The commercial economy board
has asked the state councils of de-
Tense and the merchants associations
to make a concerted effort to de-
crease the number of deliveries and
to curtail the privilege of returning
goods, but neither councils nor trade

associations can effect this much
needed reform without the coopera-
ton Of the purchasers, the great ma
iority OF whom are women. With
you. therefore, after taking up the
matter with your state council OF de-
tense, do everything possible to help
in this work? Communicate with your
local chairman at once. carry the cam
paign to the movies and ask all the
papers in your state for publicity; pop
ularize the movement by carrying
home your own packages and encour-
aging your neighbors to do so.
In all the smaller communities it
will be feasible to discuss this Ques-
ton with your local merchants and
see il by your loyal support and prac-
teal assistance they can not work out
a scheme Of central or cooperative de-
livery which will save many useless
trips and result in valuable economies.
Speed Necessary
DO not expect, however, that the
prices will drop at once, or until the
merchants have had time to rearrange
their service and their delivery equip
for government service), and until
they are convinced that the women
are sincere in their determination to
help effect this reform. Satisfactory
adjustments can undoubtedly be made
and prices will certainly tend to fall,
not rise, under the new arrangement
but the matter Of prime Importance IS
the speed with which the plan can
be started and put into operation be-
fore men are called September l.
May we count on you to help
create strong public opinion in favor
or this reform, which may have very
far-reaching effects in national econ
omy.
Very sincerely yours.
