OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN TRADE

UNTIL we suffered a trade depression because Of
bad conditions in Europe the average citizen
OF America understood the strength OF the
chain that binds own country to foreign nations.
We did realize before that our prosperity de-
pends much upon the prosperity OF the world,
that Others suffer must suffer The average
american citizen felt that he was citizen OF the
greatest country on the globe that have the
sources to make us independent OF the world, that
we could build a fence about ourselves so TO speak
and still prosper. And so We could ii we had never
built up large trade with the Europeans, but
that trade was established our factories have been
employing labor 10 supply the demand and when
that demand was no longer labor was out of EN-
ployment and factories were not prospering
The situation makes the study OF the foreign
countries much more interesting than they have
ever seemed before and bits oi information OF COM
mercla progress abroad are interesting news to us
The International Harvester Company'S plant at
Moscow has arranged to begin operations after
shut down OF many months. This is said to be but
one OF many enterprises that are beginning activities
and II political disturbances can be KEEP, away from
those countries they viii soon be back on a normal
basis. When reason returns to a nation it can mend
MS internal affairs within very few months.

BONES EXHIBITED
IN LANDRU CASE
State Argues They Are the
Bones of "BIuebeard's"
Wives

Versailles, November 24.-Three
more small boxes, containing what
the prosecution and experts contend
are human bones, were produced at
the opening of court today and added
to the box which was prominent in
yesterdays proceedings in the trial
of "Bluebeard" Landru, accused of IL
murders and of cremating the bodies
| of his victims.
These additional exhibits seemed a
surprise to the defense, 1t having
apparently been unaware of their ex-
| istence. The bones, according to the
experts, are from a human skull or
skulls.
The defense offered no experts in
opposition to those of the state, but
argued that the bones were such that
no expert however learned, could
swear whether they were human or
an animal.
1t also urged that the second
search of Iandrus villa at Gambais,
where all the bones that have been
produced in court are alleged to have
been found, was conducted illegally,
with the prisoner neither present nor
represented. as the French law re-
quires.
One hundred ana twenty pounds OF
human flesh and bones could have
been turned into ashes during "a
hours in the kitchen range of Lam
drus villa at Gambais, experts for
the state testified. They had con-
Quoted experiments with animal
flesh that had resulted in this con-
clusion.
From 22o pounds of ashes in Lam
drp's hackvar small ne
bones had been extracted which
showed they had been cut with a
small saw. the experts declared in
their testimony. The ashes, they tes-
titled, contained per cent of bone
or phosphate, while the usual per-
centage OF coal ashes was IN per
cent.
Landru explained the large per-
centage OF phosphate by saying he
bad burned small oyster. Shells and
that as coal was scarce during the
war he had experimental in seeking
new combustible. burning chest
nuts, garbage and old substances.
Two hundred and fifty-six frag-
ments of bones. declared by experts
to be human bones. the total weight
of which was two pounds and two
ounces, the largest fragment being
two-t thirds OF an inch square. formed
the corpus deficit brought forward
today before the jury by the prose-
cution. The experts swore the frag-
ments belonged to at least three vic
Tins, as nearly two pounds were
skull bones. All three of the experts
DIR. Bayle, Killing and Paul--swore
unreservedly that the bones were
those of human beings and that the
human skulls were burned after be-
ing smashed with hammer or an ak.

THE BACKING AND
FILLING MOVEMENT
CONTROLS METALS
Industry Still Hangs About
the Fifty Per Cent Basis,
With Steel Still in
the Lead

Cleveland, o. November 23.-tSpe-
cial.)-The Iron Trade Review says
Backing and filling movement still
characterizes the flow of new bust
ness in iron and steel Seasonable
changes iare having their effect
Buyers are exercising caution against
accommodating any excess supplies in
view of possibility of freight rate re-
auctions and approaching inventory
period.
Industry apparently meeting with
greater difficulty in lifting itself
corporations, however. continue to
show some increase in ingot produc-
tion. Carnegie Steel company's steel
making operations are up to 90 per
OF per cent, and it now has active
% of its SO blast furnaces. Rising
output is shown among tube. tin
plate and plate mills.
Tin plate demand. both domestic
and export, has continued 10 grow.
leading producers this week are up
to % per cent basis, a gain of II per
cent Some of the Independent mills
are running full time. Texas com
pany is in for 80 600 boxes.
Oil field work coming forward with
greater use. Pipe line tonnage has
doomed large. One 250-mile line for
Texas. involving $4,000 tons, was
closed with Mahoning valley maker.
Humphreys Pure Oil company is in
market for s00-mile line, calling for
$4,000 tons, and Sinclair Oil company
for another 100 miles, representing
$4,000 tons. Oil tank requirements
make equally impressive showing.
Railroad business has been less
conspicuous this week as far as new
buying is concerned. Car orders re-
Gently placed or now pending total
more than $4,000 cars. on which esti-
mated steel requirements are 220 600
tons.
Another minor change leaves the
Iron Trade Review composite aver
age of IA iron and steel products this
week at $3.50, one week previously
composite was at low point of $3.50,
and two weeks ago it was s35.0s.
American exports of iron and steel
again were increased in October to
1876 tons, marking the third con-
secutive months gain after recent
slump. The principle item in the ex-
port market this week is a purchase
of about 5000 tons of rails by Japan.
German iron and steel industry has
been upset by renewal OF wage
strikes, workers generally are de =
exchange. workers generally are de-
handing an advance of rs per gent.
German freight rates are up 95 per
cent since November /. Result of
these conditions is sharp upward
movement of iron and steel prices and
consequent limitation of export ac-
tivity.

Camp Hill. on the Central of Geor-
Birmingham, in a healthful portion of
is in a rich farming section, where
every sort of farm industry can be
engaged in profitably.
Nature has been lavish in her gifts
to the men and women who make It
their home, and her citizens have
taken advantage of them in a busl-
ness way; but l would name as the
best asset of Camp Hill a certain
intangible something called unity. 1t
is a united town in the best and high
est sense of the word.
This does not mean that it's peo-
pie do not divide on little things, for,
being human, they do; but in the big
things which count there is unan-
unity of opinion which creates an at
mosphere of union which makes 1t
possible for the community to work
together in most fraternal spirit.
Take even the question of reli-
gion. Baptists. Methodists and Uni
versalists have all built remarkably
handsome houses of worship for a
town of the size of Camp Hill, and
while each denomination is true to it's
teachings. yet they work harmoni-
ously together for the spiritual and
moral upfift of all the people.
The three pastors and their men,
bers are on the friendliest of terms.
Everyone was glad that the North
Alabama conference returned Rev. C.
p. Handy. Pastor R. A. Smith, of
the Camp Hill Baptist church, though
net yet resident for a year, has
made an Impression on the communi-
ty; while Pastor c. E. Clark of the
Universalist church in his years OF
service has made many friends out
side % his own congregation. The

Hill as is evidenced by the flourish

Modern schools
Camp Hill has always been wide
awake to its educational needs. The
Camp Hill public school. credit to
