Birmingham, those consuming the rolled steel. should have much wider field for their products and would inn mediGtely extend their territory when Birm ngham is made passing point.
 MT Harold explained the meaning of the Pittsburg plus. stating that in the steel industry mil prices are based on Pittsburg. For instance, if steel is quoted f. 0. b. mills Pittsourg at $50 per ton 1t means that lwith few exceptional the price of the prod uct delivered everywhere in the Unitei States is $50 plus the freight from Pittsburg to a given point.
 This price must be paid for the prod uct by the purchaser of steel even when the shipment originates at some mill nearer than Pittsburg, such as Birmingham. declared Mir Harold. The protest against this single base sys tenn is founded on the injustice of compelling fabricators and the ulti- mate consumers to pay a freight rate that is not actually incurred.
 "The effect of the Pittsburg plus system is to give an advantage to the manufacturers of the eastern dis trict over the manufacturers of the southern and western districts who use rolled steel as their raw material,' con- tinued the speaker. "The former pay the short price for their plates, shapes and bars and the latter pay the unjust, arbitrary long price. which enables the eastern manufacturer to sell his fin ished product in the west and the

 Birmingham fabricators at present are paying only part of this differ entiai. namely 15 cents per 100, or s3 per net ton on rolled steel in quantity. The full differential is s11.50 per ton. Every effort is being made to continue this until the full base price equal to Pittsburg is secured"

Exhibit to Include Modern Arms and Equipment Used in World War, Also
 German Trophies

The local army recruiting station has been assigned a section of the building al the Alabama State Fair grounds allot- ted for the government exhibits, and will put on display during the fair the exhibit of the United States army. This exhibit will comprise modern arms, equipment. periscopes, telescopes and range-finding instruments now in use in the army.
 The famous Browning machine gun and automatic rifles will be displayed, to- gether with the Lewis machine gun, an American gun first used by the British. and the French Chauchet automatic rifle. which was used by the Americans.
 There will be displayed a g. -mm. or one-inch gun, noted for it's accuracy of fire and effectiveness, and which was used principally against tanks and ma chine gun nests or emplacements; also a Stokes mortar short-range gun of great accuracy and effectiveness, which. like the 37-mm gn, was handled and op- erated by a section of the headquarters company of each infantry regiment and which was used against machine gun nests and in breaking up counter attacks of the enemy.
 It was a Stokes mortar operated by Sergeant Atkinson and Sergeant May of Lne l0ftn lnIantry Tn the Cote de Cnatll- lon at a very critical stage of battle that broke up a counted attack of POO Ger mans. many of whom were killed and which won for the two sergeants the dis tinguished service cross, according to Maj. H. B. May, formerly of the 167th infantry, who is now on recruiting duty here.
 The deadly riot gun" a sawed off repeating shotgun. in which only buck shot were used, will be on display This gun was used in trench warfare for re- polling raids and was carried by men pa trolling No Mans Land" It's use by the allied armies was protested by the German government, which claimed that 1T was an inhuman and brutal weapon.
 There will also be displayed artillery shells, offensive and defensive hand gre nades. helmets, gas masks bayonets and trench knives, two weapons that the Americans used with great effect it is stated as the Germans could not stand cold steel and hand-to- hand fighting
 The display of captured German tro- pnies has been received at the local re- cruiting station and is very complete and interesting, comprising as it does every thing used by the Germans from machine guns and steel breast plates to brides and handages made of paper
 There will be a detail of men under Sergeant Caraker on duty at all times with the exhibit who will be glad to ex- plain the mechanism of the guns and an swer any questions relative to the ex- hibit. This is done by the war depart- ment for the purpose of acquainting citi- zens with the aims and purposes of the army and with the arms and equipment now in use.

 DISEASES PREvENTABLE
 His long experience and study having convinced him that poor health is the worm at the core of society, and that most diseases are preventable. he believes that the Red Cross is the agency whereby all other health organizations can be co-ordinated, ands that a great health programme can be evolved through the Red Cross. This, he feels, can be done only by the conservation of the energy of the local chapters organized for the stress of war, each chapter caring for it's local public health problem. the local chapters to be directed by the central committee at Washington through di- vision headquarters.
 In order to carry out such programme and to continue the home service work, money will be needed-therefore the third Red Cross roll call November 2-11.
