''A A Happy New Year"
 Dr. billiard S Topic

Preaching to capacity audience on "A Happy New Year." Dr. J. F. Dillard' s discourse at the II o'clock service at the southside Baptist church yesterday was most impressive. a39
 Dr. billiard said in part
 How thoughtlessly we use this ex- pression, as if there were some god ot good luck who showers happiness upon people arbitrarily Ours is d world of cause and effect Our God is a God of order. Don't violate the laws of health and then pray God to keep you from being sick Don't break the laws of the home, society and religion and expect God to give you a happy New Year
 Thou shalt not tempt the Lord, the God. Look into the past and see just what things have brought sorrow and failure, then correct or remove them, thus placing yourself in q position that God can give you a happy New Year.
 An exaggerated ego is one of the prime causes of the worlds misery. We are so anxious for people to realize our impor- tanee. We want people to alter their lives to suit our convience. We are so sensitive to our rights, and so cal- lous to the rights of others. No wonder we are buffeted. We ought to be.
 False ideals of life cause no little misery. Satan took the Master up on the mountain and showed him all the Kingdom of the world, saying: All this will l give thee if thou wilt bow down and worship me- We ape the rich. See Mrs. Newlyrich in her fine limousine and Lady Scornful in her handsome gown, Money covers multitude of sins We need to listen to our divine Lord saying: "A mans life eonsisteth not in ha oh of hi iytr irb ha tnS IL sessetl-life is more than meat, and the body more than raiment Jesus had a profound contempt for mere things, A false ideal has wrecked many an other wise beautiful and happy life.
 "A violation of the standards of right in other words that hateful little word sin-has caused more misery in the world than all else. Sin has the sting of death. It has the hiss of the serpent. and it always means hell. The way or the transgressor is hard It always has been, it always must be. Sin when it Is finished bringeth forth death. The basis of a happy New Year Is not in resolu- ton but in revolution. We need a rad ical change. We must get rid of sin We must be changed in our inmost lives. We must adopt new ideals of life and cruelty that exaggerated ego
 I've must have Christ in our lives, How else are we going to get rid or sin? Resolving won't do it. The germs are still left in the heart. Trying to hide them won't do. He that covereth his transgression shall not prosper Ignor- ing them is a fatal mistake. Repent ye and be converted that your sins may be plotted out and that refreshing times may come from the presence of the Lord Adopt Christ's ideals. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness Seek to serve as even Jesus came not to be ministered unto but to minister. Save your life by losing it in service
 If we adopt these principles all things will work together for good, and though the New Year may be a hard one, it will be a happy one. Lord, so teach us to number our days that we may get us heart of wisdom.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS
 FOR LOCAL IRON
 AND STEEL MARKET
Product of Local Furnaces and Mills Practically Sold Out-Foreign Markets
 Are Active

Tomorrow night the end of government fixing of pig iron prices will have been reached and from then on the makers will be al liberty to continue the present price of s33 9 ton or to increase or lower it, as the market conditions may warrant. The recommendation of eastern makers agreed upon a few days ago for re- duction of s ton meets with little favor in the Birmingham district, and it is probable that little if any change will be noted here for sometime.
 The fact that nearly all the local fur naces are sold out for the first half of the year and that they have no stocks on their yards makes very strong situa- tion for them. Unless cancellations re- duce the bookings or requests for de- ferred delivereies stop shipments, the in- dications are against any stocking up fha tt,n+a

YOUTH SERIOUSLY
 BURNED BY FIRE
 IN RAILROAD YARDS
Open Fire Ignites Clothes of Young Man and Serious Burns Are
 the Result

Luther Thompson, aged 16, an employe of the AmericansCast Iron Pipe company was seriously burned in the railroad yards at Acipco, at an early hour yes- terday morning. The young man had built fire in the yards, it seems, to warm by. and had fallen asleep, and as the fire spread it ignted his clothing.
 TWO switchmen, hearing his cries, went Nto his rescue, but not in time to save him from being very badly burned from his waist down. The lad states that his home is in Kentucky, and that he has been employed by the above company for only few days. He was carried to the Hillman hospital by Shaw's ambulance and was in a very serious condition last night. Attempts are being made to To- cate his relatives.

ley the animals are insufficiently pro- tected from the cold weather and that some of them are liable to die from ex- posture. He states the animals from the warmer climates are suffering in- tensely from the cold, as there was no provision made for heatnig their dens and cages.
 Mrs. Wood will bring the matter be- fore the city commissioners in an en- deavor to remedy conditions.

REPLACE ALL EMPLOYES
PRESIDENT PEvEAR SPEAKS

Commenting on the policy of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany. MT. Pevear said: We are now in touch with practically all the young men who left us to enter the service, and it now seems possible that within 60 or 90 days they will all be back and our or ganization will be completely restored. Yes, we will take all of our boys back that want to come"
 Charles T. DeBardeleben, general man Iager of the Alabama Fuel and Iron com pany, is another large employer who is cooperating in the movement to place returning soldiers Mir. DeBardeleben an nounces that his concern will endeavor to place a few soldiers other than those formerly in it's employ. We can use a few clerks after the first of the year, as we will probably have some vacancies in some of ollr stores ' he said

Heads Of Corporations State Returned Soldiers WiU AU Be Reinstated
Employers Holding Jobs Open Far Is Possible, But Positions Will Be Found-Local Agencies and Civic Bodies Are Using Efforts to Locate
 Positions for the Boys From Service

Six local captains of industry, whose forces aggregate nearly J0,0o0 men, an- nounced last week that those stalwar1 soldiers who had left their employ to fight under the colors of Uncle Sam would find a warm welcome when they returned, to enlist once more in the ranks Of business
 Each of these corporation heads. repre- senting large portion of Jefferson eounty's "big business declare that for mer employees who return from the serv- ice will either be given their old posi- tions back or others of similar nature. Thus the problem of what to do with returning soldiers is solved insofar as those men previously employed by these big lndustrials are concerned
 It is estimated that of the more than 15.0o0 Jefferson county men who went forward at the governments call, at least 10 per cent were on the pay rolls of these half dozen industries at the time of their departure. But these cor porations are by no means the only ones in the district who are holding open jobs for former employees now wearing the khaki or the blue. Numerous other smaller plants and firms have adopted the same policy

OTIS. We will most certainly take care of our men who responded to their coun- try's appeal I do not know yet wheth- CT we can use outside men or not but you can say for us that we will give all our returning workers positions sim liar to those they held previously"
 REPLACE ALL EMPLOYES
 President James Bowron and General Manager C. A. Moffett of the Gulf States Steel company, have stated re- peatedly their intention to replace all employees of this company who joined the army The Gulf States has already taken a number of their old employees back and will not put on outside men until places are arranged for all their e. turning workers
 President J. S Pevear one of the muchly cussed and discussed corporation heads in the district, but withal man of amiable and forceful character, has also manifested the highest interest in landing jobs for his employees who left the bell cord or the motor to sally forth beneath the Stars and Stripes along with those four million other red-blooded Americans who put German lSultur in the morgte for keeps

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Beside these industries there are several local agencies interested in locating posi- tions for returning boys. The Chamber of Commerce, through General Manager r. A. Fennimore has gathered some val uable data regarding the needs of certain corporations in the way of labor, office men, salesmen, chemists. civil engir neers, etc.
 Mir Fennimore declares that his organ ization hopes to assist materially by bringing the employer and prospective employe in touch with each other. We have confined most of our activities to war work during the past year. he said, and we will work just as hard to help these boys find suitable employment as we did to aid the war campaigns
 EMPLOYMENT BUREAU [
 The United States employment bureau, in charge of George H. Tarrant has placed hundreds of returned soldiers and will continue it's functions until all of the boys have been located here. Their office on First avenue presents a busy scene daily, when dozens of khaki-clad boys drop in to talk over the matter of suitable employment
 Department store heads, railroad agents, retail merchants of all Kinds, real estate Agencies and business houses in general have shown a disposition to give the returning soldier the preference in the matter of employment. and viewing the situation from any angle 1t is fairly safe to say that there will be jobs wait ing for practically every boy who comes back.
 Jefferson county will see to 1t that her returning heroes find positions for which they are suited.

PRESIDENT CRAWFORD

PRESIDENT CRAWFORD
 The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, the largest employer of labor in Jefferson county, is placing practically all of it's old employees as fast as they return. When approached by an Age Herald representative Saturday afternoon President George Gordon Crawford, in his usual conservative manner, said We are making every effort to place all of our former employees who are returning from the service. As far as possible we are holding jobs open for them and while it is, for obvious reasons, impos- sible to give all of them back the iden- ticai position they held at the time or theIr departure, we will use every means at our command to locate them where they will be best satisfied Some may not desire to come back The sit uation is little difficult to handle on account of the uncertainty regarding the number of men who will want their old jobs back and the length of time they will still be in the service
 Former employees of the Tennessee com pany who have aheady returned from the service, state that they had no diff culty in obtaining entirely satisfactory positions with this concern and all inter- viewed by the writer were enthusiastic over the treatment aceorded them by their former employers.
 WOODWARD COMPANY
 Frank H. Crockard, the genial presi- dent of the Woodward company, when questioned as to the policy of his cor poration declared that ''We are rein stating all of our employees who went to the war as fast as they return. A number of our men are coming back every day and a big percentage of those that entered the service are already back with us.' A. H. Woodward, owner of the local baseball club and chairman of the board of directors of the Woodward company, has also expressed keen de- sire to assist returning soldiers in find- ing satisfactory employment. A sports man of ~the highest type, Rick has once more demonstrated his love for fair play by his attitude toward the boys who have done their bit.
 c. T. Fairbairn, manager for the south crn district of the Republic Iron and Steel company, echoed the sentiments expressed above when he said; Tt is our intention to make a place for every for- mer employe who was called to the coll
