 Period of the War
WOODWARD AND
 CANISTER WILL GO
 TO NEW Y o Rk
Plant Will Be Erected Near Site of Present Furnaces, About Ten Miles From the City
 Proper

From Washington came the an nouncement yesterday that the Wood ward Iron company would build a steel plant near the site of it's fur naces, about eight or ten miles south west of Birmingham. According to the announcement the new industry will represent an investment of about S25,- 000,000, and when completed and in operation will give employment to sev- eral thousand men.
 The government, through the war in dustries board. will aid financially in the construction of the steel plant. and take it's products at least until the end of the war. While no definite state ment to that effect is made, it is un- derstood that the products will be used principally in ship construction, considerable portion of it going to the yards at Mobile and some to other yards at New Orleans Jacksonville Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington and yards along the Atlantic coast. The Associated Press dispatch from Washington received in Birmingham yesterday afternoon, is as follows:
 Washington, August 7.-Senator
 Bankhead of Alabama today an-
 nounced that the war industrials
 board had agreed to finance 25,GOO.O0O steel plant mt Bfrming-
 ham. in connection with the works
 of the Woodward Iron company.
 Work on the plant will begin nx
 soon the necessary arrange
 ments cnn be made. It will em-
 ploy several thousand men. and
 will turn out steel products of
 many kinds.
 Allan H. Woodward and R. H. Ban- ister of the Woodward Iron company have been in Washington 10 days or two weeks conferring with the war ir- dustries board with reference to the proposition of building a steel mill Senator John H. Bankhead went be- fore the board with MT. Woodward and MT Canister and gave valuable as- sistance in presenting the matter and securing the consent of the board to the building of the plant and to ex- tending government aid.
 Following the agreement with J. L. Replogle, director of steel supplies nf the war industries board the matter was placed before Bernard Baruch, chairman of the war industries board who approved it. and thereupon Mir. Woodward and MT. Canister left for New York to confer with the direc- tors of the Woodward company and engineers who will prepare plans at once.
 It is stated that the construction work on the plant will begin just as soon as plans are perfected and con- tracts can be made and materials and equipment obtained.

are being built on such a magnificent scale that all precedents are being discarded and the new man has just about as good a chance to master the business as an experienced ship builder, and possibly better.
 I'm now a member of the personal staff of Charles Piez, vice president in charge of construction. having been appointed recently for this work. I expect to leave tomorrow afternoon for Pensacola, and before returning to Philadelphia will visit all of the skipyards in the south.
 Birmingham is on the map these days in big letters. The spirit in which she goes over the top in every patriotic undertaking is known every where, and I am always glad to reg ister from Birmingham. "

AMERICANS TO TEACH
BASEBALL IN LONDON

A committee on public information
representative in London says:
London has never heard of base
ball season before, but will get its
chance this year when the American
baseball league gets it schedule of
games well underway. There are
eight American and Canadian teams
recruited from various organizations
stationed in London, with games
scheduled for each Saturday during

Effort to Effect
WheatleSS County

The federal food administration
has urged the county food admins
tration to exert increased efforts to
make Jackson county wheatless. 1t
is the desire OF the administration to
start on this basis June /. The fol-
lowing statement was issued last
night by the administration:
The federal food administrator
asks that we resolve to make Jack
son county wheatless beginning on
June l. We therefore request all
citizens to use substitutes and limit
their consumption of white Wheat
flour to 2 1zpounds per month. This
practically means using none except
as a binder.
There is no limit placed on barley,
corn, rice, potato and rye flour. The
time has come when we must save
the wheat flour for our soldiers and
allies in Europe. Jackson county has
not failed to do more than was asked
and no request has been made that
was more imperatively necessary.

Crater Lake with company of To-

Mrs. Boyd, Misses Shaw, Caha and
Wagner, and went over the Dead
Indian road to Pelican Bay, arriving
at the lake Thursday. They were
able to go within two and one-half
miles of the lake with the car, and
made the rest of the journey on foot
over the snow, which is four or five
feet deep in drifts around the rim
of the lake.
Mr.. Boyd states that the Dead In
dian road is in fair condition with
the exception of many trees fallen
across the road, compelling detours
to be made around them. This is
probably the first auto party from
this section to reach the lake this
season.
