ENGLAND EXCELS
 STEEL PRODUCTS

London, Feb. 26-( -(Correspondence of The Associated Press) Belief that because of the high cost of produc- ton of iron and steel in America the United States will not be able suc- cessfu1Iy to compete with Great Bri- tain in neutral markets, is eXpresse q in trade circles here, says a state ment made by the American Chamber of Commerce in London.
 The United Kingdom, it was assert ed, will maintain first place in these industries if 1t gets assistance from the state and has no trouble from la bor. Great activity Is to be seen among manufacturers who are con- verdng their machinery to a, peace basis. To meet the demands of steel makers the government is seeking to secure 100000 tons of pig-iron from the Unite5 States for delivery this year.
 Germany, the chief pre-war compe- titor of Great Britain, has temporar- fly, at least, been removed from the field. Twenty years ago Great Bri- tain exported four times as much steel as Germany but in the last year before the war. 1t is said, Germany exported a million tons more than Great Britain.

TO KILL
 DAYLIGHT SAVING
 WILL LIKELY FAIL

Washington, D. C., Feb. 26.-Sena- tors who are trying to kill the Day light Saving Bill by supporting the rid CT attached to the Agricultural Appro- priation bill admit today that they see little chance of the rider being adopt ed. Senator Calder, of New York, who is determined to kill the rider, will make a point of order against it, on the ground that it is general legisla- ton on one of the annual appropria- tion bills. It is expected that he will be sustained. upon which it will re- quire a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules of the Senate to make the rider in order. It is not believed that a
 two-thirds vote can be obtained for
 this purpose.
 The suggestion had been made that
 if 1t went out of the Agriculture Ap- propriation bill on a point of order, the Committee on Agriculture would add
 1t as an amendment to the bill provid-
 ing the money to pay the farmers the guaranteed price for their wheat for the 1919 crops, and that a point of or der would not lie against it If attach ed to that measure. However, the Committee on Agriculture reported out the Wheat Bill and did not at
 tempt to place the daylight saving re- peal rider on 1t.
 '1The committee did not wish to jeopardize the Wheat Price Guarantee bill by adding the Daylight Saving re- peal proposition to it." said Senator 1 Gore I've know that there will be a strong opposition to the Daylight Saving repeal proposal, and it is more important to the farmers to have the Wheat Guarantee bill go through than to have the Daylight Saving law re- l pealed."

THE THIRD SWISS SAMPLE FAIR
 AT BASIIE.

The Third Swiss Sample Fair will be held at Basic, it's permanenty allot-
 ted domicile, between April 24th and
 May Sth. This esta ablishes as an insti-
 tuition the first venture which was
 made Tn this direction exactly three years ago with a view of affording all
 parties concerned an opportunity to
 exhibit their products, intended for
 home commerce and export.
 The chief object of the Swiss Sample
 Fair Is to stimulate already existing
 business relations; to create new con-
 nections and to give the public In gen.
 eral a better idea of the extent and
 nature of home manufa cture. which
 has necessarily undergone numerous changes since the outbreak of the
 war.
 Special prominence is in the first instance given to the world known products of the country; the textile in
 dustry, the watch and jewel industry, the machinery and electrical industry. chemical products, foodstuffs. such as canned goods, chocolate and dairy products.
 Quality is emphasized throughout the Exhibition, as the Swiss industrial branches have for the last few years [ been concentrating their efforts upon attaining a world reputation for this particular feature and not for the Cheapness of their goods.
 The Swiss Sample Fair at Basic has a strictly national character and a rigorous control is exercised that all exhibits have actually been manufac- tured in Switzerland. Admission with out stipulation as to the date of their foundation is granted to firms whose partners are all Swiss citizens; eligible are moreover SI1ch firms who haya manufactured in Switzerland-as their 1 chief seat-before July l, 1914 and who consequently figure in the Com
 merciaI Register of that period. Two | thirds of the managing staff of such l firms must moreover be of Swiss na- 1 tionality.
 ! S3r firms participated in the First 1 Sample Fair of 1917 which was visited l by about 300,00O persons; business 1 transactions were concluded for 20 to ] 25 million Francs.

A PRETTY BLUEBIRD LEGEND.

''The Seminole Indians have a pretty legend concerning the blue bird" L. B. Brownel1 writes in a com nunicadon contained in the depart ment "On Natures Trail,' in Boys Life for March. They will tell you that one day the male bird flew so high that he rubbed his back against the sky and some of the blue rubbed off and stained his coat. Upon his return to earth his wife so admired the new color of his coat that she determined to have one of the same color for herself. Accordingly the next day she set off, but the morning proving to be overcast, the color that she was able to obtain was not nearly so brilliant as was that of her hus- band. So to this day she must go about clad in a coat much less gaily colored than his"

United States Should lead

ITO me it is an inspiring sight that battle that is going on in France. It Is an inspiring sight because I see a mighty conflict between the old that is passing away and the, new that is coming. l see a mighty contest be- tween the sordid naterialism repre- sented by the statesmen of the past and the ideal represented by the statesmen of the future. It seems to me appropriate that the United States. which is a nation of ideals, a nation of altruism, a nation which has already become a world benefac- tor, should take the lead. We helped to create the Cuban Republic. We are even now generously giving a new civilization to the millions of people in the Philippine Archipelago, in the very shadow of Asia. It seems to me

Newport, R. T., Feb. 25-Three new and powerful mine sweepers built for the United States navy today began in the waters south of Block Island a series of experiments on the removal of electrical mines. Captain Reginald R. Belknap, who commanded the fleet of ten ships that laid the American mine barrage in the North Sea, is in charge of the experiments The work of clearing a, big mine field Is con- sidered far more dangerous than its planting.
