WOMEN MIN IN BIG
 FIGHT FOR CONTROL
 OF OIL COMPANY
Proud of Record Made by Organization Managed and Operated Exclusively
 by Women

Chicago. February 1-(SpeciaL )-Mrs. H. H. Honore, Jr., firmly throttling one of the most aggressive steam rollers ever moved in Chicago-not even except~ ing the national convention crushers- met and downed every masculine ob- ieet in her path the other day and was again elected president of the Woman's Federal Oil Company of America, an or sanitation of by and for women.
 It took exactly eight hours and 35 min utes of bitter, frantic fighting, but when the air cleared the little adding machines showed the oil company is, and will be for another year, wo~ mans enterprise.
 Elected to the positions of trustees With Mrs. Honore were Mrs. Elizabeth Doyle, J. c. Donges of Pittsburg, and L. H. Kruse and Fred D. Nave or Chicago It was billed the harmony ticket" but the election was far from serene.
 Battling the "Adamless" rule was Attorney George B. Holmes. formerly employed by the company as legal ad- wiser He had a strong ticket, l6SJ0 votes, and frantic supporters-but Mrs, Honore, with her harmony ticket and her stone crusher, collected 32.42t votes.

These women have no idea of the relations between income and disbursements.

 MT. Holmes charges are absurd. He was employed here as attorney and drew $6000 in cash from this com pany, besides $25 a day for expenses while he was travelling.

PIG IRON MARKET
 UNDERGOES SLIGHT < . CHANGES FOR WEEK
Furnaces Banked During December and January Expected to Start Up
 Again Soon

Pig iron market conditions in the Bir- mingham district have undergone no ap- preciable change during the past week. There have been a few inquiries for early deliveries in small lots to meet present needs, but these do not amount to very much In the aggregate. A few cancellations of orders booked during the last few months prior to the signing of the armistice are reported by brokers, but as a whole market conditions, while not active, are not discouraging. Four or five furnaces banked during December and the early part of Janu- ary are expected to start up again as soon as the raw material, lack of which caused the temporary shut down, are available.
 In their weekly review of market con ditions Rogers, Brown & Go. of Gin cinnati say:
 Inquiry for pig iron is at about the same rate this week that prevailed dur ing the preceding two weeks; part no doubt. was with view of testing the market, but In most of the cases, orders resulted. principally for prompt ship ment Several orders, however were taken for first half delivery, consisting of 500 and 1000 ton lots, but the aggre gate was not large. Buyers apparently are still unwilling to commit themselves far into the future, believing lower prices will prevail. Under present cost condi- tions there are some furnaces not able to stand further reduction in price, and, as a consequence, will be forced to blow out unless prices remain at prevail ing levels.
 With the reduction in ocean freight rates, the outlook for export business is much better. Within the last few days some promising inquiries have come into the market. The exporting of iron would naturally have a tendency to stabilize prices, and thereby enable furnaces to continue operating.
 Tn the New England district several leading lines report business booked for finished products to go abroad. In the central west, there seems to be better feeling with regard to building opera tons, and new business is being written from day to day. While it has not as yet reached the extent that is expected with in short time preliminary plans under way are encouaring
 The coke situation is, better, insofar as production is concerned. Some opera tors now find it little difficult to sell their high sulphur coke; as a conse- quence, they are curtailing their produc- ton. There does not appear to be any curtailment in the manufacture of stan dard brands. Blast furnaces, and foun- dries are now receiving coke in suf- ficient quantities to meet their require ments. This condition has been hoped for for so long that 1t is quite a relief to all concerned"

Movie Actresses at Home

Harrison Rhodes in Harper's Magazine
 The American public, having taken its movie favorites to its heart, has it's own American idealism about them It is poles apart from, for example. the so-called Partisan point of view as to what the private life of a beauti- full and fascinating actress might be. A big picture company received lately petition signed by some 500 inhabitants of a small town in a middle western state begging that the company might find some means of reassuring them as. to the character of their favorite ac- tress. They knew that the ringleted darling must be just, the sweet, dear American girl they dreamed she was But "trayeling men,. so the petition went on, brought in very disturbing stories.' Fortunately, the company could, with perfect truthfulness, refute the unworthy drummers. Had the dear lady in question been vampire" Ca definite technical name be it under stood) she might conceivably have been allowed some moral latitude. But the demand for purity is very strong and very significant. Here it may be smiled at but it is not quarreled with. (And nothing shall be said about the rumor that has come home from France that our boys sometimes desert the hut for the naughty French films in the vil- lage theatre.)
