with fishing smacks and river boats.

No moral question comes more
pointedly home to the hearts OF con-
scientious people than that portion
of their incomes they ought to devote
to charity. Appeals for help fall upon
us like rain drops on a roof. We can
not respond to them all; but we
must respond to some. To go through
the world with ears deaf to the cry
Of human need. is to be a brute.
Everybody knows about the stingy
old deacon, who. when the collection
box started toward him after rous
ing appeal by the preacher, determin.
ed to give ten dollars. AS it came a
little near. he dropped to five and a
little nearer still. to one.
Then, as the hungry receptacle
yawned beneath his drawn face, he
dropped his pocket book itself into
the basket with this stern admOnition
to his baser self: 'Squirm. old Ma
ture." This is the heroic note in the
counsel we shall have to give to our
selves before the appeals OF the suf
ferers from the wOrld-war cease to
ring in our ears, at it will be a long
time before the woes of the Ameri
cans. the Polanders, the Belgians and
the French are all allayed.
The most of us have given to these
poor sufferers, not once, but often and
we have to give again and again. Let
us not do it grudgingly, for the Lord
loveth a cheerful giver. Why not
make up our minds once and for all
to give something everytime We are
asked. 1t is SO easy and it is SO mean
to make a single gift an excuse for a
hundred refusalS 1t seems cynical
to say IT, but one cannot help suspect
ing that there are people who satisfy
their cOnsciences for not giving now,
because they gave a year or two ago

is filling a large ingot order for the
British government, and upon the
termination OF that order the capacity
of the plant will be required 20 feed
the plate mill. It is. expected the plate
mill will be ready for operation in four
or five months. and will be the only
mill capable of turning out ship plates
i'm this territory.
The company has a large steel cast
ings plant 40 Chester and a steel plant
at New Haven. Conn.
Speaking OF The new mill and power
house TO be erected near New Castle,
and Just what Sc means. Rodney
Thayer. Of this city, who is president
Of the Penn Seaboard steel Corpor-
alton. says.
THE company's two plants on the
Delaware river are ideally located for
the business In which they are engaged.
The Delaware river is rapidly becoming
the center Of the shiphuilding business
Of the world. with the demand for steel
for shipbmlding purposes very much in
excess Of ihe present available supply.
Through this financing the corporation
has acquired a complete modern plate
rolling mill. which will he shipped i'm
medlalely 10 the Bsldt plant and set up.
The company expects also 10 build a
large power house for the requirements
Of this min. This will put the com
pany in a position after April 10 turn
their large steel-making capacity into
the production of plates for shipbuilding
purposes. The consumption Of steel
plates is in fields which have suffered
the greatest destruction during the
war, these fields being shipbuilding,
locomotives and cars. All Of these in
dustries viii be pushed 10 the limit Of
their capacity not only during the du-
ration Of the war, but probably for a
longer period thereafter than any other
consumers Of steel products. When all
the shipyards that are building and
have been built from Bristol 10 VIII
mington are completed, they will'con-
sumo if ihey maintain the production
that the shipping Board has scheduled
for them, more ship plates per year
than were heretofore produced in the
United States for all yards"
