IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Touched by Call to Texas

T have had some pleasant years m Birmingham" said Rev. Willoughby N. Claybrook, rector of St. Mary OIL the-Highlands Episcopal church, who has resigned to return to one of his old charges at Tyler, Texas.
 'I have had numerous calls since l have been in the ministry but none which gave me more genuine pleasure than the one which recently came from church which I once served. Tyler is splendid city and it's people are cultured and wide-awake. It's like going back to ones old home to be called to former parish. I will miss many friends here who have made my stay pleasant and I will also miss the busy life of this great, hustling city"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-02-17

when he reaches the university Sure it is a tremendous responsi- bility to be a father, and the call is for more men willing to give the same thought to the rearing of their boys that they do to their business or pro- fession. I am going to let Bruce Bar ton state the case, for he has done it better than I con. Fathers, read it and
 then make up your minds that you are going to give your boys a fair deal. He says: Recently I visited two homes. The first was home of abun- dance; we ate on rich china, and sat afterwards amidst expensive surround ings. I wondered that man who had | so much should seem to find so little
 satisfaction in it. Late in the evening
 I discovered the truth about it. Men call me fortunate, he said to me. but
 they do not know what they say. I have made failure of the only thing
 in life that counts. My son is worth
 less-and I let him drift into worth lessness'
 i ''The other home was modest The
 man who dwells in it will never be
 heard of beyond the limits of his own
 small town. But he has put humanity
 in his debt. The lives that he brought
 into the world will shed glory on his l name long after he has passed and gone. He has paid the price, of course; he might have gone farther in
 business if he had been content ,o
 sacrifice everything to business. But for years>he has made it rule to take some time each day to be com ] rade to his boys. Their reading, their sports. their problems are a first con- sideration on his calendar In business he makes only living; at home he is guiding and moulding lives.'

Nine out of ten of the fathers of great men have never suspected what they were bestowing upon the world in their sons. It came down in our family through the Washington branch in diary kept by maiden aunt that the father of Woodrow Wilson nevet had any great hopes that Tommy was ever to be one of the world g greatest men. His father was a Pres byterian preacher and with his family was Often visitor in the home of my uncle.

A "Related" Advance

When Republic Iron E. Steel com
mon leaped into the van of speculation
yesterday with a spectacular jump
from 1017s TO 120 Wall Street said
this was q belated -ecogniti1 Of the
real worth of the stock. 1t iad been
selling away out of line with other steel
stocks, traders said, who insisted that
Republic has great speculative and IN
vestment possibilities. Republics sud
den ascent created the real sensation
of wild market in industrial shares
which finally resulted in turning spec
ulative activity into other steel issues.
The stock opened strong and rose to
around 106 by midday. From there it
was taken in hand by strong pool
and under the pressure of heavy buy
ing scared to the top price of 800
From that level it eased off to 1872
at the close, which was 1864 points
above the last price on Tuesday. This
is the highest price the stock has ever
sold at. Early this year it sold as low
as II y, and the top record quotation
previous to yesterday was 103Ss. The
rise N Republic was helped along by
the existence of large short interest
in that issue, this, with other steels,
having been sold heavily for the de-
cline recently by operators who had
little faith in the recovery. Their re-
purchases yesterday swelled the vol
ume of buying in the stock, the turn
over in this one issue approximating
100000 Shares.

Steel Shares Lead
Sensational Rise
In Stock Market
Republic Scars to l2O I'm
der Wave of Excited Trad.
ing; Average Price of In
dustries Again Peaks

Steel shares held the center of the
speculative stage in the Wall Street
stock market yesterday, where tho
average price of the industrial stocks
mounted to new high peak. There
was the same furious bidding up Of
standard industrials and specialties as
has character the trading since the
resumption of the forward r.cyement
u fortnight ago. Shifting of interest
to the steels was just another phase
of the speculation and looked like an
attempt on the part Of the trading
element to get away for time at
least, from the less seasoned indus
trials.
The trading list broadened to 317
different issues, compared with 315
the day before, and total transactions
were 1,7S6 500 shares. While profes-
sional operators continued to initiate
the public played an important role
in the trading, outside participation
being exceedingly heavy despite the
fact that many stock exchange houses
are warning clients against extension
of commitments at this time, in view
of the rapidity of the advance
The average price of thirty standard
industrial stocks closed yesterday at
1880, which was the highest point
ever touched in the history of the
market. The previous high record was
made the day before. when the average
closed at 117.73. The momentum of
the market was such yesterday that
observers said the Industrial average
might easily be carried higher. How
ever, the general opinion is that the
rise Of the last week has been so
violent at times that it would be a
good thing for the market generally if
reaction occurred.
The rise in the steel shares, led by
Republic Iron & Steel common, bor-
dered on the sensational. That stock
SCARED close to 20 points to new
high record price of 1870 on move
initiated by a professional pool. The
pronounced strength and activity in
this issue. soon spread to the other
steels and in the. last hour of the
market there was a general upward
movement in the whole group, with
Steel common. closing 15s points un.
Bethlehem 2M Midvale, 9, Lackawall-
ma, and Crucible, 1913. Oils, equip
ments, shipping shares and the leather
issues were among the strong groups.
halfway issues did comparatively little.
ne upward movement in the steels
was accelerated by the favorable re-
ports from the steel trade which in
dlcated that most OF the mills are
operating on a 65 per cent canac;tv v
basis, with prices tending upward as
result of curtailed productions be-
cause OF the strike. Other news de-
yelopments were without apparent ef-
tect on stock prices. Monev continued
easy at per cent.

prospect of an early settlement of the
company's claims against the United

Monday between William n. Shaw.

ment to know where it stands. The
company manufactured light and heavy
shells for the government and also on
tered upon the production of gun car

American Malt and Grain Prospects

The American Malt and Grain Com
pany is banking much on its product
known as illegal beer" to keep its plants
operating OH a profitable basis. Ac-
cordng to R. II. Landale, president.
the plant at Buffalo now has in stor-
age more than 100000 bushels of
government grain, from which large
revenue is being derived. He esti-
mates that this storage can be doubled
at the Chicago and Milwaukee plants.
With the uncertainty removed regard
ing the legalized alcoholic content of
beer it is predicted by director that
the company will sell approximately
S.cOo,0O0 bushels of malt annual in
this country. This rate of production.
IT is estimated, would represent more
than $l4 a share on the stock before
income and excess profits taxes
Profits for the period from June 10 to
September 80 were $153,0OO, equivalent
to So share on the capitalization of
$4,000 shares. After selling as high
as 61A yesterday the stock closed at
