district for the week ended March 1 was little over s2ss,oo0 tons, gain of a few thousand tons over the preceding week.
 Rogers, Brown & Go. in their weekly summary say in part:
 Inquiries for pig iron were more gen eral the past week, but buying main tained only from hand-t mouth char acter. Resale iron was offered on sew eral fair sized inquiries, which, how ever, does not establish market values. Rumors are current of price shading by furnaces, but the reports cannot be verified. An inquiry is now in the mar ket for 10000 or more tons of basic iron for export (not European). Sew eral other inquiries are out for export iron, but ocean freights are still too high to meet foreign competition.
 The domestic market is hard to un- derstand. Practically all foundries and steel plants are operating 50 per cent or better. This is in excess of the rate new orders are being placed for iron. compared to furnace production. Back log orders will soon be worked off. New business must develop shortly to justify continued operation of furnaces now in blast. It seems to be the gen eral opinion that when the government starts buying for the necessary railroad improvements and extensions. business in other lines will rapidly follow

UNEMPLOYMENT ON
 DECREASE, REPORT
Majority of Discharged Sol diers Finding Positions
 for Themselves
By Associated Press

Washington, March 7.-Material inn provement in the unemployed situation over the country is indicated by later reports received by Arthur Woods, spe- cial assistant to Secretary Baker. Mfr. Woods expressed the belief today that this improvement would continue.
 While confessing that his task of re- placing discharged soldiers in industry had rather awed him, Mir Woods said he did not view the problem as a ser ious one. A majority of the discharged soldiers are finding positions for them selves, he said, and a large proportion of these out of work have made small efforts to obtain jobs
 A new and important element in the work of finding employment for the fight ing men, Mir. Woods continued, is fur nished by the definite and decided i'm provement wrought in each individual as result of his military experience. To ask these men to take their old jobs, he declared. would be to require a step backward for them. He explained, how ever, that the government is proceeding on the theory that it would be better when practicable for each soldier to take his old place while awaiting better opportunity. In the meantime govern ment emploment agencies will place such men on preferred lists and later trans fer them to better positions.
 MT. Woods said that in finding jobs for soldiers. every effort would be made to prevent the discharge of workmen now employed. He added that no discrmina- tion would be made in the cases of wom- en workers, but that cogni5ance would be taken of special cases where women did not need the employment.

DESCRIBES HEAVY
 LOSSESBy ALABAMA
Officer Says the 167th Lost 1000 Men in One Nights
 Fighting

The Chicago Daily News of Wednes- day publishes the following. in which reference is made to Alabama losses at Chateau Thierry:
 Thrilling stories of the fighting waged by the Rainbow division, and the prominent part taken by the 10th field artillery. during the year it was at the front in France, were told at noon today by Col. Noble E. Judah at the Chicago Association of Commerce luncheon at the Hotel LaSalle. Colonel Judah went in as a major in command of one of the 149th's battalions.
 we had three months of training from November, 1917. to February, 1918 in the trenches" he said During that time there were numerous trench raids. Then came 224 days in the front lines, 1s0 days of actual fighting. and only six days of rest. During one period of two months last summer the men never had their clothes off.
 .sOur division helped smash the big July offensive of the Germans in the Champagne country. On July "A we went into the Chateau Thierry fight. In one night there our Alabama regiment of infantry lost 1000 men, one company losing 200 men out of 275, and New York battalion lost TOO men out of 1000 Our division lost $500 men in eight days fighting, in which we smashed the famous Prussian guards In the Argonne fight in month we met quarter of the German army on one twentieth of the front.

HERO MEMORIAL TO
 BE ERECTED BY LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS
ness Enterprises Enter Into Move ment for Permanent Memorial

A resolution was passed at called meeting of the the Drama league and representatives from every civic organi- zaton, banks and various other busi- nesses held yesterday afternoon in the ballroom of the Tutwler hotel looking to the erection of hero memorial in Birmingham. Mrs. w. D. Smith, presi dent of the Drama league, called the meeting at the request of the leaders of four civic organizations in this city.
 Mrs. A Starr Best was introduced and grown-ups as well as for children. In conclusion she mades an appeal for a community center as memorial for the splendid American soldiers those living as well as those who have made the supreme sacrifice.
 While they were proteges of the na- tional government, a vast majority of the American soldiers caught glimpses of a new world" said Mrs. Best, and if this vision is to be of lasting value to them we must provide some means of self-ex- pression for them. There must be some sane entertainment for them, as they have grown away from the pleasures that formerly delighted them and have learned there is something more worth while in life What better memorial could we have for our soldiers than these community eenterS?' @flA ' fNs sa asSt
 In behalf of the Drama league she pre- sented the following resolution: Be it resolved, That the civic organizations of Birmingham indorse the idea of erecting hero memorial in the form of a com munity center which shall contain room for an auditorium. fully equipped the atre for a municipal stock company, small childrens theatre. working mans club rooms, bowling alley and billiard room, and that committee be appointed to consider means looking to that end"
 This resolution was unanimously adopted, and J. Frank Rushton was ap- pointed temporary chairman from the floor and was instructed to consider &C., cepting the permanent chairmanship for this matter. He will appoint his com mittees and will take the matter under

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March 7.-(Special )-Busi- ness continued to be largely switching from the old contract into the new, process likely to be accelerated by an announcement from Washington that no trading in old style contracts would be permitted after May 1. Generally speak ing the market had stronger undertone and most of the business was at higher prices than yesterday, although the fluc- tuations in the old contracts were very cratic, according as the orders came in first on one side and then on the other. The general situation appears to be somewhat better in that feeling is more optimistic as reflected today in the stronger securities market. We expect the market will sell somewhat higher. Particularly if we should have some more bad weather in the belt as the time lis rapidly approaching when planting op- erations should begin:-Hubbard Broth CTS & Co.

POPULAR SANDWICH FILLER
(By Jean Prescott Adams)

tBN Jean tTeScOlt AuduiSj
 We may fix up all the dainty tit-bt sandwiches we have time for and in the long run the ones that will be most popular with a mixed gathering will be the tasty, yet hearty, ham or cheese sandwiches.
 After our long abstinence from the delicious American cured hams and bacon, we are doubly anxious to fine every possible excuse to add these ap- petizing and satisfying foods to ou menus.
 A whole ham nicely spiced and baked is an irresistible dish for a Sunday oi holiday dinner. It is also tru' economy, for it saves Madam House. wife much time and labor. If tho family is small it is advisable to bake part of the ham. keeping the remainedr to slice for broiled ham.
 The baked ham, if a ham of quality has been chosen, will slice nicely to the very last piece. When planning for company it adds to the ease of serving to have baked ham for din- ner the day previous and then use the cold ham, thinly sliced for sandwiches. Apples cored and stuffed with minced ham, and baked slowly and served with waters, are a popular evening enter tainment dish.
 If Monday is an exceptionally busy day in the household. the Sunday baked ham provides quick meat dishes for the family and any extra help
 For small quantity cooking thick slice of ham, baked with sugar ana spices and apples, is most delicious.
 BAKED HAM.
 Start the ham as for boiled ham: after cooking four hours remove the ham from the water, cut the skin in points about

Remove from the oven and Insert cloves in the fat of the ham, from which the skin has been taken; press these into the ham in q symmetrical man ner Mix half a teaspoonful of pepper and half a cupfii of fine cracker crumbs and sprinkle over the portion containing the cloves; return the ham to the oven for one hour.

WATER RATE HAS RETARD|NG EFFECT
 ON IRON MARKET
Few Sales During the Past Week at BPS, But Some Companies Holding
 Out for S34

While the iron and steel business is dull just now there is no good reason to be ebessimistic over the situation" " said one of the prominent local manu- ! facturers yesterday. We don't know Must what is going to happen, but l tthink conditions will improve before very long"
 Ocean freight rates are having re- tarding influence on the steel trade at present, the rates now obtaining being about eight times what they were be- fore the war. Discussing this yester- day one of the corporation officials said that the steel industry could prob ably stand rate four times greater than the pre-war rates but eight times is prohibitive.
 During the past week there have been few sales of pig iron ait around BPS, which is ss less than the price fixed by the government during the war and s19 less than it was being sold at before the price fixing board took control. Some of the locak companies, with pro- duction booked up to about July 1, have been holding out for the contract price of S34 obtaining up to the sign ing of the armistice, but buyers are not ordering deliveries, with the result that either stocks are accommodating on the yards, are furnaces are being blown out.
 The coke ovens of the Gulf States Steel company at Sayre were closed down last week on account of the blow ing out of two of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company's furnaces which were supplied by them
 The domestic demand for steel wire is fair and with reasonable ocean freight rates there would be consid- erable tonnage of this product going abroad.
 The Gulf States Steel company has about completed the clubhouse for it's employees at Alabama City. It will be ready for use by April l.. The club house and equipment cost about $e5,000 and is one of the most complete in ev- cry respect In the country, though not so large some others.
 The building is equipped with read ing rooms, gymnasium, Y. M c. A. fea- lures, shower baths, billiard and pool tables and other facilities for the enter tainment and amusement of the em- ployes
