FRED LAY GIVEN PARTY

The twenty-first birthday
Of Fred Lay, county auditor,
arrived last Monday morning
and when the court house crew
asked him about it, he made
certain misleading statements
in order to make them believe
that it came on the day before.
And there lies the tale. The
clerk and recorders office lies
right next door, so the boys
went in and checked him up
and discovered his gross de-
ception. Tuesday morning
Fred was called into the
county commissioners room
and the entire force from the
court house and sheriff's Of
flee was there to greet him,
and a lunch of ice cream and
waters was served. All pres
ent said the affair was de-
lightful, but since the party
was at Fred's expense, he was
too surprised to say what he
: thought about it.

Coming Accessory
For Automobiles Is
Still, Edison Says
However, Instruments Will
Be Used to Make Mixture
to Take Place of Gasoline
in Running Cars of Future

The coming accessory for automo-
biies is still. Instead of home brew
the next concoction for thirsty nation
may be "auto brew" or ''motor car
mash" At least, this is the interpreta-
tion hopefully put upon remarks made
by Thomas A. Edison jr., in paper
on Basic Principles of Carburetion," !"
prepared for the Knights of Columbus
course in auto mechanics, given in 1856
Knights of Columbus schools for for
mer service men and women through
out the country.
However, the stills about which
young Mr.. Edison is prophesying are
not for the purpose commonly asso-
ciated with such instruments. They
will be used to distill a combustible
mixture to be used instead of gasoline
to run the cars. Edison isgan authority
on carburetion. In writing of the in
creasing scarcity of the worlds oil and
the daily increasing consumption of
oil by automobiles, he sees the solution
of the problem in stills for motor cars.
"These stills, supplied with mix
ture Of crude oils and other chemicals
and operated by heat from the motion
of the car, will distill combustible
mixture that will not only run the car
but will leave a residuum Of marketable
value to contribute to the maintenance
of the car in other ways" said Edison.

Before Bluejackets Arrive

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va, June 4.
A party of masked men boarded the
Shipping Board steamer Mitchell in
Hampton Roads to-day and attacked the
crew, badly injuring eight and slightly
injuring seven others. A naval de-
tachment answered the Mitchell's call
for help, but before the blueiackets
arrived the attackers had escaped.
Chief Officer Henry Leon Dodge,
temporarily in command of the Nit
chell in the absence of the master, said
the raiders announced that they were
strikers and proposed to "drive every
body from American ships" Dodge
said the leader of the crowd appeared
to be an American and that the men
apparently sought particularly the
chief engineer of the ship, who had
signed despite union orders The Off
Ger was not on the vessel.
Raiders Overpower' Waterman
The raiders, numbering thirty, came
alongside the ship in large power
boat. Scrambling over the side, they
overpowered the watchman and at
tackled the crew. They warned Dodge,
according to his statement, that they
would be back later to "get" the chief
engineer.

Western Association OF Rolled Steel
Consumers and others and discussed at
length in the Commissions complaint,
the steel companies admitted that the
subsidiaries usually quote their prod
ucts on what is commonly called the
Pittsburgh basis, which represents
their prices of such products in Pitts
burgh, plus the freight to the point of
sale and delivery"
They assert that this is a common
practice OF steel manufacturers and
deny that the price is arbitrarily
fixed OR arrived at" They say that
ut varies from time to time, and
among the different manufacturers and
representatives 'the Judgment of each
manufacturer as to the market condi.
tions affecting or likely to affect his
par Licular product"
Tine respondents also declare that
the. quoted prices are seldom adhered
to strictly, either by said subsidiaries
or their competitors; that steel is sold
bs all of them, subsidiaries and conf
letitors, in the different consuming
localities at the market prices prevail
Eng therein as determined by the law
of supply and demand and the COM
petition among the manufacturers,
which competition now is and for Il
long time past has been vigorous and
nnrestrained and extends to prices,
quality and service, and to every ar
ticle of production in, every locality
in which the same is sold"
For Convenience of Customers
"The practice of quoting a base
price" the answer says, sis largely for
the convenience of customers and is not
confined to the steel industry, nor to
this country. but exists throughout the
world, and is followed in many, if not
most, of the more important lines CT
production and sale. In the steel i'm
dustry it has been obtained from the
beginning and became q settled Gus
tom long before the United States Steel
Corporation was formed.
Respondents deny that steel is
manufactured in either Chicago or
birmingham mora cheaply than in
Pittsburgh, but admit that the price
charged for steel by" the said sub
salaries in each Chicago and Birming-
ham district exceeds the Pittsburgh
price by more than the difference in
the cost of production in the respec-
tive localities. They deny, however,
that the price charged in Chicago,
Birmingham and the other localities
mentioned in the complaint is either
unfair or unlawful"
The respondents admit that the
United States Steel Corporation has a
capital stock outstanding of the par
value of $86S,5S3,6O0, and of a book
value exceeding $500, 100000. and that
the gross sales of the corporation and

Harding Move
Expected Soon
Lin Ship Strike
Secretary Davis's Report on
Deadlock May Result
in Action by President
Early Part of This Week
Sailings Near Normal
Surplus Engineers Filling
Vacant Places; Union
Heads to Go to Capital

There is every possibility that Presi-
dent Harding will take effective steps
to put an end to the nationwide ship
ping strike early this week, according
to reports received from Washington
yesterday by leaders Of the Marine En-
gineers Beneficial Association. 1t was
said that Secretary of Labor James j..
Davis has made report to President
Harding regarding the negotiations
that ended in deadlock last week in
Washington at the very moment when
settlement seemed assured.
Captain Irving l.. Evans, head of the
sea service bureau of the United States
Shipping Board yesterday issued a
statement in which it was said that the
sailings of Shipping Board vessels dur
ing the first month of the strike we're
95 per cent of normal, as based upon
the average figures for the preceding
three months of the year.
Table Showing Clearings
The report does not refer to private
iy operated ships under the American
flag The table issued with the state
ment shows that there were 342 clear
ings from American ports as follows:
Boston, 80; New York, So; Philadelphia,
25; Baltimore, 80; Norfolk. 46; San
Francisco, AS; Seattle, S. Sailings for
June 1 were Is, and for June 2, 13.
"a minimum of 1,472 engineers was
signed to move The 342 ships cleared
in May, and total requirements for the
month numbered $780," the statement
says. "The engineers were drawn
largely from the surplus of engineers
resulting from the discontinuance Of
several hundred ships operated by the
Shipping Board during and Immediate
ly after the war and discontinued with
in few months after the end of the
war"
Strikers to Go to Capital
Thomas B. Healey, chairman of the
Atlantic Council of the Marine Engi-
neers' organization, said yesterday that
the leaders who haye charge of di-
recting the strike, would go to Wash
ington again Wednes sday of this week
to ascertain what change in the situa-
tion is effected by the report of Presi-
dent Harding.
William S. Brown, national president
OF the organization, is still in Wash
ington with Ernest Pegg, head of the
Pacific Coast engineers, and they are
keeping in daily touch with the Secre-
tary of Labor and Shipping Board off,
cials. Despite these reports, however,
there is little possibility of settle
ment, it was said, in view of the stand
taken by the American Steamship Own
ers' Association that under no circum-
stances will it sign any agreement with
the unions.
