IRON STOCKS LOW, FURNACES ARE: IN
 STRONG POSITION
Less Than Two Weeks Output Is on Yards-Industry Fac ing Market With Ability to
 Meet Any Condition

Less than half a normal months make of Alabama pig iron is on the yards of the fur mace companies.
 Expectation of a large in- crease in the stocks on yards on December 1 compared with November 1 met with an agreeable disappointment. Amount of merchant foundry iron on yards of all the producers on De- cember was 90,o00 tons. This is an increase of less than 2u,000 tons com pared with November.
 The average monthly production for the year has been over 100000 tons. Less than half a months make on yards has not been the case in the memory of district producers stocks generally far exceeding that amount. FILLING ORDERS
 The state of stocks shows the pig iron ordered has been moving out to the consumer and that hold-up orders have not been as formidable as it was at one time thought they would be.
 The southern iron market will come to the new year in very strong strategic position. With minimum of stocks on hand and a much reduced production. once the consumers begin a buying movement. another rush for the iron is very likely to set in. That would have the tendency to stiffen prices at whatever the level is when buying does start and to raise the level for those who may be late in placing orders for their 1921 requlre ments.
 FIRING UP
 The following blast furnaces blew out in November. Three of the Wood ward Iron, one Jenifer and one Repub- lie Iron and Steel. However, the Shelf field Iron corporation blew in it's stack at Sheffield and the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company put sec ond furnace on foundry. Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company blast furnace operations are now larger by one full stack than they have averaged during the year, Status of the steel order books of the steel corporation auxiliaries is responsible for mainte nance of iron production. the major portion of the iron going into mills for conversion into steel.
 The activity of charcoal iron con tinues to afford optimism in the iron and steel trades, because it is indca tive of the building of freight cars by the railroads. The charcoal iron tha is being sold is going to car whee makers all over the country
 The Wall Street Journal, high au- thority, estimates Inlsl 1891 will wit ness the largest amount of steel rail buying in many years. It expresses greatest confidence in a tremendous rail business the coming year.

GA[AX, THE C|TY'S
 NEWEST THEATRE First Release of Picture, "To Please One Woman"
 Opening Bill

Birmingham motion picture fans have a treat in store Saturday, They are go- ing to see a picture two months before it is released anywhere in the United States and they will be introduced to a new theatre.
 The Galax, occupying the site of the Colonial, is the theatre and 'To Please One Woman" is the picture. When the management had set the date for the opening of the Galax a picture worthy of the event and fine enough to intro- duce the new theatre properly, the re- leases of the Paramount company for several weeks were studied carefully.
 ITO Please One Woman" was the final selection. This is Lois Weber pro- duction, story of intense dramatic value, and it will be shown here almost two months before it is presented any where else in the country. Not only will Birmingham motion picture enthusiasts see feature weeks ahead of the rest of the country, they will also see a produce ton which is worthy of the highest praise.
 The Galax is entirely new except for the building it occupies. When the new list of Pearamount and Realart pictures was made up for the ensuing months it was discovered that the Strand would not be able to exhibit them all. The Co., lonial, which occupied the building now tenanted by the Galax, was considered unsuitable for the proper presentation of these pictures.
 So it was determined to build the Galax. The result is a theatre seating 50 per cent more than the old one. New seats, beautifully decorated, and with an orchestra, a rarity for a motion picture theatre in Birmingham, the GalaX will be opened to the public Saturday morn ing.
 Big stars will be seen in big produc- tons during the coming months. Some of the stars already booked are Bebe Daniels Enid Bennett, Mary Miles Min ter and Dorothy Dalton.

DRAMATIST NEEDS
 LITTLE INTELLECT

If you wish to write drama, keep thy heart diligent. and not the mind Intellect is little needed in the writing of the drama. An ordinary professor on small salary has all of the intel feet necessary for great drama, but it takes emotion, lagination, feeling More people feel than think all great thoughts are born in the heart, and not the mind. The intellect will tear off the petals of a beautiful flower and look for beauty in the ruins. The in- tellect deals in vivisection. The feeling drama is more potent than any posi- | tive philosophy"

Women Lose in Britain
Commons Committee Tables
Bill TO Lower Voting Age

LONDON, April 22.-By vote OF
ID to 8 the committee of the House of
Commons to-day laid on the table the
Labor party's franchise bill, under
which women would have been given
the vote at the age of twenty-one, the
same as men.
The Labor party's franchise bill
passed the second reading in the House
of Common February II. The vote
was unanimous. According to parlia--
mentary procedure, the bill then went
to comm ttee for possible amendment.
Under the bill the present voting
age for women-thirty years-would
have been lowered to twenty-one. This
would have added 100000 voters to
the register.
Lady Astor, when the bill came up
in February, spoke in favor Of it: She
declared she did not favor the bill for
the sake Of women, but for the sake
of the country. every one knows"
she said, "a woman of eighteen is far
older and wiser in many ways than a
man of twenty-five"
