Boy With Heavy Charge Of "Pep," Unable
To Go Straight, Is Arrested 25 Times
New Jersey Lad, Bright
and Active, But Gets Into
One Scrape Right After
the Other.

! BY MARGERY REX.

New York, Oct. 25.-The idea ol
conscience would mean nothing
whatever TO 10-year-old Lawrence
Maps of Gloucester. n. J.. now lam
. gushing in the county jail at Cam
den, but if you let him tell his own
story he expresses well the punish
ment that must always come to the
transgressor whether or not he be
caught.
Just worryin' all day long" is
the way Lawrence describes his men
tai state since his latest arrest. Law
renee is by way of being, officially,
very wicked youngster, since this
is his 2Sth arrest. Ingenious, frank
and fun-loving, he has managed to
get himself into more scrapes than
almost anyone heard of in these
parts.
Since the mother of Lawrence and
his tiny brothers and sisters died
from influenza the exuberant boy
has been left to his own resources
10 a great extent, and this, the au
thorities believe, is the cause OF his
delinquency.
Likes His Father.
II guess III go to Philadelphia
with some nice ladies to be brought
up, but I will always like my father.
He is a smooth-faced man, awful
nice, but he's SO busy picking up
things.
y. The predicament of 10-ycar-old
Lawrence in a county Jail is one
that the<laws and conditions sur
rounding such cases make hard
problem. County Prosecutor Charles
Wolverton does not want to put the
boy into reformatory. Yet he does
not feel that Lawrence's father has
time or means to care for him prop
erly, and the present 'mischievous
qualities of the child portend a bao
future FOR him if steps are not taken
now to give him guidance.
I'VE have 40 juvenile detention
home" said the prosecutor. Nearly
all our cases, therefore, are settled
right in my Office. We arrange to
put the children on probation and
have parents or guardians elp them
to behave. I dislike very much to
commit boy to reformatory or
let the case go to court.
"This poor little fellow of 10
nevertheless keeps the police busy.
He isn't reliable. He has no mother
and the home influence is lacking,
"The result is that the boy is in
trouble. Now most boys always in
trouble are weak mentally, but this
one is very bright. However, he is
drifting. I feel that to turn him
loose again will help him none and
the solution is to place him i'll a
good home with people who know
his record and are yet willing to help
him get along and behave himself.
Must Be Restrained.
II always try to give a child the
benefit of the doubt yet l would be
poor friend to such boy if | didn't
place restraint over him. First Of
tenders never come before a court,
not till they have many times done
wrong.
"I want Lawrence moved away !
from Gloucester, where temptations
and boy friends are not good for
him.
"For boy of 10 to go on his own
and go straight without guidance is
almost impossible. A child of 10 |

is the finest type of by-products con- struction and equipment in existence. What it means to Birmingham is this: It's leading producer of foundry iron, in undertaking this tremendous enter prise in the autumn of 1918, said to the competitive iron fields in this and for eign countries that Alabama intended to hold her own in that competition and re- main supreme. The completed plant is the achievement of that declaration. The beehive oven had to go; the closed oven, manufacturing coke more econom- ically and thus reducing the cost of mak- ing iron, while, at the same time, con serving the by-product values, had to take their place if Birmingham was to hold hers.

 They were the best of their day and generation; their successors are the best of this. The pioneers who built the old beehive ovens-they, too, filled theT mart in life we'll and are gone. Their memory is dear to those who have en- loved the usufruct of their sturdy path finding spirit With like affection Bir- mingham bids goodbye to her First ave- nue veterans of the coking science.

plant, with it's coke oven bat teries, it's numerous buildings for taking care of the by-products, it's reservoir for cooling the water for repeated use, it's offices, ma chine shop, engine house and its towering stacks, covers about twenty-five acres.
 Three trunk lines, the Frisco, the Louisville & Nashville and Southern, enter the yards, where there is trackage for sufficient cars to bring in days supply of coal and those required to carry away days product of the ovens.

No. 1-Shows belt conveying washed coal from hoppers under cars to top of ovens, whence it is emptied into ovens. A correspond- ing belt delivers the manufactured coke into railroad cars.
 No. 2--One-half of the coking plant, showing 60 of the 120 ovens. At the extreme right the electrically driven machine which pushes the coke from the oven when ready. No. 3-The spraying pool. Here the exhaust steam is condensed and cooled for use in the plant. The plants water supply is pumped from the company's quarries near by.
 No. 4-The ammonium concentrat- ing building. This is. one of the many buildings and tanks for the saving of the by-products.
 When one has walked Tour times around the coke oven battery he has travelled mile. This affords a faint idea of the immensi.y of the plant.

duce electric power. Enous ioi"ii'' to light city,
 Electrical Equipment
 The plant is equipped with tw elec- trfc turbines of 1000 kilowatts' eacn. The company has also 2,0OO ea ectrlc horsepower generated by the ezanaust steam heat at the. North Blrmin g nam furnace plant two miles distant. V l.h this electric energy the company vii ! De able. when equipment installation sf slil have been completed, to electrically CAP crate it's four blast furnaces in the cit y' it's ore and coal mines many miles dls ! tant, it's rock quarries and all its other plants, besides the by-products plant it. self.
 The plant secures it's water supply from the company's quarries, thus estab- fishing another economy.
 It is difficult for the human mind to conceive more complete use of raw material. The only thing comparable is the meat packing plants, where 1t IS claimed that everything is utilized ex- cept the pigs squeal.
 The IdI, dilihoiiiuiii ooiP ~ rght oils are marketed for the company by the Barrett Company, the greatest handlers of these products in the coun- trv. The tar and oils are shipped in tank cars, the sulphate in bulk. When the company makes ammonia liquid that also will be shipped in tank cars. The oils include benzol, toluol, solvent, naph- tha and motor fuel.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-05-30

The farmers of the country are con- cerned in the sulphate product of the by- product works, because it enters into the manufacture of fertilizers extensively. The average daily charge of coal will be around 2,400 tons and the daily average production of coke will be about 800 to 2.OOO tons of coke, sufficient to operate the five active blast furnaces of the com pany.
 A picture for the imagination is this: The Sloss-Sheffield Company has eight beehive coke oven plants with total of 1,50O ovens. None of these will hereafter be operated regularly, because the one plant of 120 Semet-Solvay by product ovens have taken the place of . the entire roster under five furnace % operation. The city ovens will never be Alighted again, the other beehive plants Twill be held in reserve for maximum fur nace or special emergency production.
 This plant will serve to carry Birming- h: tm pig iron farther afield in competi- tio n with other iron; it has added largely to he pay rolls of the district it has in- crea sed the population of Birmingham and < will feed and clothe many hun dreds of people.
 Whe the list of it's benefactions and oreat tn J1gs done for the human race is compiled Aright, it will include these in dustrial achievements and the men whose bigl ,ess of brain and courage of soul make them possible.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-05-30
Is Electrically Driven

The entire plant is electrica ly driven. Coal cars bringing in washed coal from the companys mines stop over funnel, down which they drop their leads. A belt conveyer takes the coal to the top of the ovens and empties it into hop per. The hopper, electrically driven, passes over the ovens, which, as required, have their tops lifted and the coal is poured in.
 When the coke is ready to be taken from the oven, an electrically driven ma chine pushes the flaming mass from one end of the oven to the other. There 1t falls into an electrically driven contalner, which, in turn, conveys the blazing coke to a cooling station. Thence 1t is brought back in the same container and mechan- ically emptied into bin. From that bin belt carries the coke, now ready for service, to a platform, whence 1t IS dumped into cars.
 Disposition of Gas
 What of the gas and fumes arising from the burning coke, but kept within the brick walls and prevented from es- cape? It passes through large pipes con- nected with the ovens to it's successive uses. On the journey it is first robbed of it's tar, which passes into tank; a little further on it loses it's ammonia and little further on other tanks loot it of it's light oils.
 But that is not near the end of the journey of the coke gas. Robbed of the tar, the ammonia and the light oils, it is now fit for fuel, for power and for light ing. It passes into thes engine room,

Romances of Industry

There is romance in these industrial achievements. Just as much romance in this field of blazing the way and finding the paths as when Daniel Boone ad- vanced the milestones of settlement west ward from the Carolinas. They repre- sent vision and fortitude. They stand for confidence in ones fellow. Cities rise up around and about them ana merchant princes wax fat off the pay rolls that they produce. Scarcely is today's most perfect equipment installed before in- vention has marked it for the scrap heap and the earnings that had beer mentally registered as profits must gc into the building or purchase of the new.
 The tens of, thousands of men who live by these industries directly, and the hum dreds of thousands who live by them in- directly, take this process as matter. of . course. They forget that each plant im- provement has had many predecessors, each costly and each short-lived in it's career of service.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him help
less and unable TO work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study. tlIit no one can be
free from rheuma tism until the ac-
cumulated Impurities. commonly
called uric acid deposits, were dis
solved in the joints and muscles
and expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he con-
suited physicians, made experiments
and finally compounded a prescrip-
ton that quickly and completely
banished every sign and symptom
OF rheumatism from his system.
he freely gave his discovery to
others who took il, with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years OF urging he decided to let
sufferers everywhere know about his
discovery through the newspapers.
