tie something on mothers, but in jus tice to the housewife it ought to be said that they have a great difficulty in keeping it in the house. The Stones Cake does not last very long, the housewife explained, after the family finds out that it is there. The Stones Cake is so sweet, pure and good that it is gone like a flash. So we will merely add a suggestion: Don't take any chances of letting the opportunity of getting the money slip by you. Order two Stones Cakes today. If you see the Stones Cake Princess automobile in your vicinity today or tomorrow or any day during this week, next week or the week following, be sure to have a look into your pantry to see if you have Stones Cake or part of Stones Cake left. Watch for the Stones Cake Princess Overland automobile.

a good meal can be gotten here for half what the same food costs at eat ing places in Alabama. A good sand wich is cents here, it is 10 and b cents in Alabama: cup of coffee. sugaf and cream is cents here, it is 10 and 15 cents in Alabama.
 A steak costs about half, head lettuce about half, and everything is not only cheaper, but a more bountiful helping is served. I can't see but what the high cost of living in Alabama should not only come down but sentiment developed to force it down.
 There is no use in food being sold at two prices in Alabama and then the amount served being so small that you don't know whether you have had any thing or not. The laboring people have a right to complain as well as every body else. We must get the idea of Tive and let live" even if we have to raise fuss about it, just like Chi cago has done and will continue to do.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR FUTURE

An incidentally, while at the present time there is some talk of curtailments and shutdowns in the various indus trial centers, indications are that the Ensley plant will continue at full blast for some time to come. In the first place, practically every pound of pig iron made at the Ensley blast furnaces. the Alice furnaces at Birmingham and those of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road company at Bessemer are used and converted into steel at the Ensley mill. rolled into steel plates at the Fairfield mill, and these plates used in the build ing of ships at the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company's shipyards at Mobile. It is understood that with the present programme for the building of a merchant marine practically the en- tire product of the Ensley plants will be utilized in this manner for some time to come. Thus it would seem that the continued operation of the Ensley plants is assured.
 Referring back to the "reminiscences, the former Ensley citizen stated that he met very few people when he visited Ensley that he had known in it's early days. And, incidentally, there are but few that remain,
 Of those who took part in the build ing of the original blast furnace plant some three decades ago. many have been called to the great beyond, others have moved to far-off states, some have gone to distant countries, yet there are few families living in Ensley to- day that are entitled to be dub bed the "F.

When one indulges in "reminiscences, as a rule, there comes to mind things that have a romantic turn or touch and big adventure. love, travel and kindred subjects are generally foremost in our thoughts.
 Yet there are times when we dwell on the practical and prosaic, especial ly if we are connected with business progress or industrial achievement. And it is a question which of these brings back the most pleasant memories.
 A small party of men, more or less identified with the industrial develop ment of the district, met the other day and were discussing business condi- tions One of the party, a former resi- dent of Ensley, who had been absen; from the city some 15 years or more stated that he had visited the Steel City and that he was simply astounded at the number and immensity of the plants operated by the Steel corpora tion and subsidiary companies that were located in and around Ensley and Fairfield.
 This remark opened up general dis cussion and as several members of the party were familiar with the develop ment of Ensley since it's very beginning up to the present time, some interest ing facts and personal experiences came to light, all in reminiscent vein, how ever. and even such prosaic subjects as coke and pig iron and coal tar and slag that entered into the discussion proved of much interest
 Before indulging in the "reminiscences, however, it might be timely to say that there are many thousands of people living in this district who have but little knowledge of the extent and inn portance of the industrial development of the Ensley district. In general way they know that there is big steel plant and some blast furnaces located there but, as rule, they have no con- ception of their real importance. In fact. there are people living within the hearing of the big whistle at the steel plant who have never realized that they are living in close proximity to one of the greatest iron and steel plants in the entire world and whose products are an important factor in the worlds market.

such as would be impossible in the
city or in the immediate vicinity.
Mr.. Pennock announced yesterday
the sale of several large plots at the
Nassau Point Club properties. A. c.
Aborn, of Montclair, N. j., bought ten
acres there facing the Peconic Bay and
