TALLAHASSEE

The Florida State College for Wo-
men is preparing a beautiful and elab-
crate annual for 1921, under the di-
rection of the senior class. The vol
ume will be off the press in a few
weeks, and promises to be a distinct
credit to the college. At a recent meet
ing Of the present junior and sophie
more classes, which, of course, next
year will be the junior and senior
classes, the annual staff for 1922 was
elected, as follows:
Editor in chief, Miss Agnes Game;
associate editor, Miss Frances Harris;
literary editor, Antoinette Mulliken;
art editor, Miss Janet MacGowan; as
sistant art editor, Miss Frederika
Whitney; athletic editor, Miss Kat1-
ryn Bird; picture editor, Miss Anna
Laird; business manager, Miss Anna
Mae Sykes; advertising manager, Miss
Mary Mcdonald.
This year, instead Of the usual
junior prom, the junior class will en-
terrain the senior class and the faculty
at a dinner dance. This will take
place early in April in the college din
ing hall. Miss Connibear, the college
dietician, will cater for the dinner and
plans will be made for entertainment
and favor dances during the courses.
By a change Of plan, the junior class
this year hopes to extend the pleasure
OF the affair to a larger number of
people than have formerly been reach
ed.
OF interest to many will be the
news recently received at the college
that Fora Ibrovatz, the Serbian stu
dent of last year at the college, has re-
turned to her home in Serbia. She had
been studying incidence at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania but, unfor-
tunately, she was physically unable to
carry on the work.-Mr. and Mrs.
Kenneth A. MacGowan, of Quincy,

cording to a recent announcement at

IN THE DAYS GONE BY

o. the days gone by! o. the day:
gone byi
The apples in the orchard, and the
pathway through the rye;
The ohirrup Of the robin, and the
whistle OF the quail
AS he piped across tho meadows sweet
as any nightingale;
When the bloom was on the clover
and the blue was in the sky,
And my happy heart brimmed over in
the days gone by.
In the days gone by, when my naked
feet We're tripped
BY the honey suclkle's tangles where
tho water-lilies dipped.
And the ripples of the river Tipped the
moss along the brink
Where the placid-eyed and lazy-footed
cattle came to drink,
And the fitting snipe stood fearless of
the truant's hayward cry
And the splashing of the swimmer, in
the days gone by.
o. the days gone by! o, the days
gone byl
The music of the laughing lip, the
iuster OF the eye;
The childish faith In fairies, and Alad-
din's magic ring
Tho simple, soul-reposing, glad belief
In everything
When life was like a story, holding
neither sob nor sigh,
In the golden olden glory of the days
gone by.

Industrial owners of the Atlantic

production, are going in for agri-
cultural I, development in the vicinity
of factory 1eenters in order to, pro-

The. matter. was brought to the
attention OF Secretary of Agricul-

cultural and Industrial League by a
representative of the Eastern States
Agricultural and Industrial League
who told him Of the increasing in

sponsoring small scale farming
among plant workers and the In
dustrial population generally.
The great advantage in regional
production of food-stuffs. 1t was
pointed out, lies in the smaller cost
of transportation. an item which is
seriously affecting the movement OF
products from the Middle and Far

dependents a slightly better opera

little new business is coming in
now, an incentive to cut prices may
arise in a few weeks.

British Census.

A new census of the English peo-

taken on April "a. This numbering
of the people Is expected to disclose
the most important facts concern
ing social and economic conditions
in Great Britain of any census of
modern times. According to the
registrar general. never before has
there been such a need for British
census taking Since the last CEN
sus, he states in a bulletin of in

Bankers Trust Company, the war
has upset all birth rates, marriage
rates and death rates, altered the
whole occupational and industrial
configuration Of the country and
completely changed many Of the
customs, habits and conditions of

Official advices received here
stated that Pablo Gonzales, gener-

new revolutionary movement, had
arrived at a point ten miles west of
Laredo, Texas, where he announced
he would inspect his onion ranch.

Total

The maximum production under
the. war stimulus was reached in
1917. with a total for the four coun-
tries of 73,3ss. 900 tons. The post
armistice reaction reduced the out
put in 1919 to 53.117,000 tons. The
1890 production. rose almost to the
prewaf figure. due to the recovery
in the United States and Great Brit
ain. The German production for
1890 Is estimated since that country
has so far declined to publish it's
actual figures. but 1t Is probably not
far from the actual amount. Ger
man production in 1919 and 1920 is
exclusive of Alsace Lorraine and
Gutenberg. while the output of the
former territory is included with
France in these two years.
Russia was also an important
steel country, and before the war
produced about as much as France.
Austria Hungary and Belgium for
merfy each produced about 1000, 900
tons per year, while in Italy and
Canada the output per year was in
the neighborhood of 100000 tons
each. These fve countries averaged
before the war between 10000, 900
and 100000 tons of crude steel per
year. At the present time Russian
and Austro- Hungarian production
have practically ceased. Belgium
production in 1920 was 1915, 900 tons

PITTSBURGH. May Various
reductions in prices Of manufactured
steel products have been made
Iately, chiefly since the establish
ment of the new prices on rolled
steel. Some of the new prices are
"a follows: Chain, 6.z5 cents, base;
e0id finished steel bars, $40 cents,
base; cold rolled strips steel $50
cents, base; rivets, $50 cents; spikes.
$40 cents. The spike price Is q base
price, applicable to standard rail-
road spikes, with the usual extras
for small spikes and for boat ana
barge spikes ..
In case of most Of the products
mentioned. as well as of other man
ufactured steel products, the per
centage of spread of the manufac-
tured product above the price of the
rolled steel from which 1t Is made
Is greater than obtained before the
war, a fact that should be given
more attention by those who have
been suggesting that the steel mills
reduce selling prices of their prod
uctS for the purpose Of broadening
the consumption of steel. To illus
trate: In the five years before the
war, 1903 to 1913 inclusive. railroad
spikes averaged 1-s2 cents, while
the steel bars averaged 1.3S cents.
so that spikes were 22 per cent
above their raw material. supplied
by the steel mills. Spikes at 3.4O
cents are So per cent above bars,
which the mills now price at z-1c
cents The railroad. the ultimate
consumer, buys spikes, not bars, and
IL bars go down and spikes stay up
the railroad Is not encouraged to
buy more spikes. but rather the re-
verse.
In a broader sense, much the
same principle obtains in other di-
rections. A completed building
costs a greater percentage above
the prevar cost than do the rolled
steel products, as supplied by the
mills, that enter into a building.
The Washington herald., 1921-05-02

or Just about half the prcwar out
put. Canadian production last year
was 1,e3o,342 tons, or about the pre-
war figure, but over 500, 900 tons less
than in 1919. No figures are at hand
on Italian production. but the in
dustry has been hnuch depressed
during the year, and the output is
probably not greater than in 1913.
The total production from these ave
countries in 1890 is not over 4,00e,-
OOo>tons, or about one-third of the
prewar production.
The high production In the United
States during 1890 has been Offset
BY the very low output in recent
months. The production In March.
1921, as reported by the Iron and
Steel Institute, was only 1.570,978
tons, compared with a,2ss,049 tons
In March last year. The March pro-
duction was at the yearly rate of
only 21,25S,000 tons, compared to an
actual production by the same COM
panies in 1920 of 34,432,00 tons.
This is a reduction in the yearly
rate of about 40 per cent. 1t is esti-
mated that the steel industry In
this country Is now operating at
about IS per cent of its capacity.
The two following index numbers,
taken from data compiled by the
Federal Reserve Board. show the
rise and fall of the steel industry
since 1919.
