Weekly Metal Review

New York. February Sa-There are, large aceumulations of finished steel at the mills which are taxing storage capacitv to the limit because there are no cars to move them. Because or thlS congestion and car shortage proouc-
 tion is curtailed- Independents no longer make any attempt to conform to the old schedule and prices Tor semi finished and finished products are rap- idly advancing The mills, however are so heavily sold that 1t is difficult to place orders at any price. Many large consumers do not care to conl- nit themselves to their own customers beyond the second quarter because or the uncertainty of steel Structural material, bars. sheets. plates and wire products are considerably short of re- quirements.
 After a period of remarkable activity iron is again quiet. The furnaces nave virtually nothing to offer for the sec ond quarter and are well sold for the second half. Many have withdrawn from inc market. others have been forced to bank for lack of coal and coke. Foundry iron has advanced Sl and s2 within the week. Production during January was more than 3,oo0'- 900 tons heavier than in any one
 month since last March. February will likely see a considerable decline.
 Copper has been quiet. Export busi- ness is at standstill and domestic consumers are covered for the time being Dealers have been selling small lots at from 1St@c to 1S%e. and the producers are offering first quarter ai 19 cents and second quarter at 1914 to l19Ac. The tone of the market is easy Lead is in fair demand but not freely offered It Is consumed as fast as produced and the outurn IS not ln- creasing The tone Is strong
 Tin also has been steadily declining without regard to London. The weak ness has been. caused by the drop in exchange in anxiety of holders to real ize.

once drop out of sight and are soon
forgotten? The reason is plain-the
article did not fulfil the promises of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a medicine. A medic
inal preparat ton that has real cura-
tive value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy
is recommended by those who have
been benefited. to those who are in
need of it.
A prominent druggist says '"Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation I have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for in almost every case
it shows excellent results, as many
of my customers testify. No other
kidney remedy has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements
and verified testimony of thousands
who have used the preparation, the
success Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
is due to the fact, so many people
claim, that it fulfils almost every
wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.

GERMANS WILL
SHOW CARDS AT
SPA CONFERENCE

BERLIN, May 10.-(Delayed.)-
Germany desires to lay all her cards
openly on the table at the Spa con-
ference May 25, DR.. AdoIph Rooster.
foreign minister, said in an exclu-
sive interview today.
The German government hopes to
clear UP the following points Koes-
ter said:
1-Germany's exact economic posi-
2.-The German financial situation
and the food and raw stuffs problem.
3.-The necessity for security and
internal peace.
Rooster expressed hope that Ger
many would be admitted to the con-
ference with full powers to enter
mitted only as Listener" he said,
then she must send delegates in
structed accordingly for their sole
duty will be to receive the accom-
plished decisions of the allied lead
ers. But, the foreign minister be-
lieved, the Spa conference will mean
for the first time direct verbal ne
gotiations concerning fulfillment of
the treaty of Versailles.
Rooster hoped the Spa conference
wouldn't be VERSAILLES over again on
smaller SCALE"
1--WE expect to be able to show the
entente exactly what Germany's eco
nomic situation is, what her financial
situation is and what and she needs
in the way of foodstuffs, raw ma
terials and internal security, Rooster
said.
"As to the latter, I will be quite
happy if the entente can show us a
way whereby we can maintain order
inside our frontiers with say only
70, 600 men and no cannon.
II hope the Spa meeting will re-
suit in a solution for fulfillment of
the treaty. We do not expect to go
to Belgium with any other idea"
The German delegates, Rooster con-
tinued, will go to Spa prepared to
make concrete proposals regarding
payments Of claims and indemnities
but will presuppose that means be
afforded to earn this money. The
coal fields of upper Silesia, he said,
should remain In German hands as
they were essential to her economic

The Rev. Melbourne F. Bownton,
pastor of the Woodlawn Baptist
church, and one of the most promi-
nent ministers in Chicago. said this
and more, much more.
The particular occasion for the
arousing of Rev. Boynton's indigna-
ton was vaudeville show given by
co-eds of the University of Chicago.
Called Indecent and Degrading"
The young women appeared in cos
tunes of interesting brevity, smoked
cigarettes, and the lines of the show
in the judgment Of the pastor, were
indecent and degrading"
when college women, supposed to
represent the highest type of our
womanhood, appear on a stage,
showing their bodies, smoking CT
garettes, and talking like abandoned
hussies, and their professors sit in
the front row and slap each other
on the back in applause of their dis
play, I believe it is time to call a

Old Billikens shabby linen suit

all-hung on its nail, in a rear dress
ing room of a. Chicago theater until
q late hour. Then a new wearer
was found for it, and the rollicking
musical comedy proceeded without a
hitch.
Old Billiken is a minor role. He
is on the stage only two minutes.
He totters on and off, clinging to
the arm Of a sprightly fiapper--de-
crepit age and joyous youth. Sam
He was seventy years old.
At the matinee that day he was
particularly effective.
And the audience accorded him the
laughter in the racing club scene in
the Argentine. That is where Frank
Tinney says to the flapper escorting
him:
"When did you get that old Bill
ken, Mamie? Why don't you take
f1n?"
Mamie took hom back, but he had
to return for three encores.
After the last curtain call he re-
tired to his dressing room. There he
removed the shabby linen suit and
hung it on the accustomed nail. 1t

James Brown, a stage hand, found
him an hour later, hanging from a
steam pipe. He had used the cord
of his dressing gown as rope, and
had stood on a chair.
A note in his nest pocket read:

Moultrie Plans to
Double F Population

MOULTRIE, Ga. May 1S;-Can
Moultrie repeat it in 1880? Can it
again double it's population in ten
years? Can the city come up smil-
ing when the next census is taken
with 1888 These are the ques-
lions that are being asked here now
since the census bureaus report
showed that Moultrie population in
crease for the past decade was 1927
per cent. And the answers that
affirmative. 1t is pointed out that
there were fifteen, hundred people
who were not counted in the recent
census for the reason that they were
without the corporate limits. AS
Stunning that they will be taken into
the city limits it will leave an ac-
tual increase of just 5000, or just
200 a wear for ten wears.
