IRON TRADE REVIEW

Cleveland, August 29.-The Iron Trade
 Review today says:
 Maximum government demands for war
 steel ars Icing met by the mills despite
 rapidly growing obstacles. How long
 this production can be maintained, not
 to thinK Q; it being increased, forms a
 question of greatest immediate import ance. The government is perceiving clearly that under the war made condi tions the responsibility for adequate coal transportation and labor supplies largely rest with itself.
 This is especially so in view of the ex- tensions of the draft and the few months remaining before unfavorable weather again becomes a major factor, and en ergetic measures accordingly are being framed, not only to uphold current out put, but to realize fully the 1,s00.000 tons of new steel capacity which will come by January i.
 The meeting at Washington last week between leading steel producers and rep resentatives of all war branches of the government directly concerned has done much to clear the air and to fiN the relative responsibilities for the future performance Coal remains at the base of the pcoslem Production of sufficient coal for by product coke plants especial l ly is proving troublesome. The difficult | ty will gcow as the numerous by-product extensions backed by the government come into commission.
 A strong effort is being made to In :. crease beehive coke production by pro curing coal for the Prick plants in the | Connellsville region, which have been i shut down by reason of their coal sup ply having been diverted to the new Clarion by-product ovens of the same | interest. .r
 Due to diiatory tactics of certain of ! ficials of the railroad administration. standard rail prices are hanging fire. Other branches of the government find acceptable the proposed figures of 1 $55, coo for Bessemer and $57.O00,O00 fer open hearth rails. In the meantime the needs of domestic roads for replacemei.ts are becoming more pressing and new order for 25c.00o tons for quick shipment is expected soon from railroad adminis' tration.
 General Tershing has asked for 150o0U tons more for France. Because of the in- adequate forging capacity in this country large tonnage of shell rounds Is to De shipped etroad for finishing. The plate mills have raised their shipments tp i17,o0o tons weekly, or more than 6,0oo.o0' tons annually. which has been the maxi mum rated output! Pig iron costs are among the matters being given eonside-a- tion at tl,e meeting of iron and steel makers at New York this~ week. The government is engaged in new move ment to more clearly define essential in dustries and war work. A much on larged list os preferred industries is
 about to bs announced.

Don't Hide Them With Veil; Re- move Them With Othine-Double
 Strength

This preparation for the removal of freckles is usually so successful in removing freckles and giving a clear, beautiful complexion that is it sold by any druggist under guarantee to refund the money if it fails.
 Don't hide your freckles under a veil; get an ounce of Othine and re- move them. Even the first few appli- cations should show wonderful inn provement, some of the lighter freck- les vanishing entirely.
 Be sure to ask the druggist for the double strength Othine; it is this that is sold on the money-back guarantee.

THE MOTHERS ANSWER
BY Thomas TipIadY.

bS AuOlitstS IlpldQg. God gave my son in trust to me. Christ died for him. He should be ! A man for Christ. He is his own And Gods, and mans, not mine alone. He was rot mine to give, He gave Himself, that he might help to save All that a Christian should revere, All that enlightened men hold dear. "To fee the guns" Ahl torpid soul. Awake and gee life as a whole. When freedom, honor, justice, right Were threatened by the despot's might, He bravely went for God to fight Against base savages, whose pride The laws of God and man defied; Who slew the Mother and the Child; Who maidens, pure and sweet, defiled; He did not go to feed the guns, He went to save from ruthless Huns His home ard country, and to be A guardian Of democracy.
 What if he does not come F you say; We'll, then, my sky will be more gray, But through the clouds the sun will shin And vital memories be mine.
 Gods test for manhood is, I know, Not, will he come-but did he go.

RED CROSS BULLETIN

1 the services of certain proportionats number of nurses
 The drive in France and the constant ly arriving thousands of new soldiers from America Is making the need for
 nurses urgent. If the enrolment of Red Cross nurses keeps pace with the mum Der of American soldiers abroad, the
 public will have to help. 1 No family with a son, brother. or husband abroad should feel as if it can afford to employ a nurse except in mat l ters of life or death says the Red Cross i officials. as some brave hearted Ameri- can boy is sure to suffer every time a
 nurse is needlessly employed in Amer ica
 In appealing to nurses to enlist the Red Cross points out that the war can not be won without the aid of nurses. 1 Their training, their experience. their wcman's tenderness and devotion are | gifts which any nurse can offer to her country if she only will. WOMAN'S TENDER CARE Our boys over there must not be all 1 lowed to suffer for one single moment for | the lack of woman's skilled and tender care.
 We know that our young women will country as their brothers have,' says Miss Annie w. Goodrich, dean of the army school of nursing. Trained personnel is necessary for suc- cess'' insists Surgeon General Braisted I of the United States navy. "It is not only a duty, but it is mandatory that | every trained nurse who is capable of serving should come forward at this time and take up that part of the burden which is here"
 | The call for 1000 nurses week is not | likely to drain the country of nurses, according to the Red Cross. It is esti- mated that there is sufficient number
 of nurses in America to match any num-
 Der of soldiers abroad, and leave plenty I of room for hospitals and home service work.
 | The gulf division of the Red Cross is l still expected to furnish it's quota of 1000 | nurses by January 1, 1919. Miss Agnes l.. Daspit. director of the bureau of nursing. gulf division, American Red 1 Cross, is in charge of the recruiting of | nurses. Her office is at the gulf divis- ion headquarters, 225 postoffice building. ! New Orleans.

URGENT CALL FOR NURSES

Eight thousand nurses must be en- rolled for foreifgn service by October I comes the word from Washington. That means 1000 must join the Red Cross every week, beginning now. Louisiana and New Orleans will be looked to for their share of that number.
 Louisiana has enrolled 195 nurses since June. Alabama has contributed 55, and Mississippi 4S, making the total for the gulf division 296. Applicants for 52 more for the division are being considered in Washington, and more than eco have sent in they first papers," but have taken no further steps to get in
 Five New Orleans nurses, one from Alabama and another from Mississippi have sailed within the last few days, or received orders to be in readiness 10 leave any day. Among these is Miss Marion Cole, who was superintendent of the Presbyterian hospital and Miss Emma Wall, formerly head of the state organization of nurses. Miss Wall. with Miss Gretchen Powers, and Miss Musette Parish of New Orleans, and Miss G. Kelly of Mississippi, left few days ago. Miss Cole, Miss Mary Bynum, another Presbyterian nurse, and Miss Mamie Myrtle Oliver of Alabama are awaiting orders.
 The Red Cross recruiting campaign for nurses in the gulf division received an impetus a few days ago when appl- cation from 57 student nurses about to graduate in hospital training school in the division were received.
 Unless nurses are quicker to volunteer the number of soldiers abroad will soon be out of proportion to the number of nurses. It is a mathematical fact that a certain number of soldiers will require

NIACOMBER BUYS COLT
Thomas F. McMahOn Becomes Prop
 erty of Noted Horseman.

New York June 12.-After Thomas F. McMahon, a twO-year-old son of Celt, had won the fifth race at Bel mont Park yesterday afternoon A. F. Macomber sent W. B. Jennings, his trainer, to the auction block to bid up the colt. MT. Jennings bid s2,000 and led the colt back to the Macomber barn.
 MT. Macomber's object in entering the selling ring was not to obtain the colt. He has more than a score of youngsters that are heaps better than this winner. He was carrying out the threat he made last year that he would do all in his power to help the sport by compelling owners to enter horses in their proper classes.
 1T. WatersOn, who owns Thomas F.. NCMahon, entered the colt to be sold for $500 and when he beat fifteen other good youngsters in thrilling fashion Mr. MaComber decided he had been entered too cheaply and ordered MT. Jennings to bid him up. The Western sportsman's action met with the approval of a vast majority of the racegoers and all the prominent trainers.
