WHY BIRMINGHAM STEEL
MILLS KEEP GOING

Referring to the status of the steel industry
the Wall Street Journal says the Improvement
is reflected in official figures of the American
Iron ard ~ ell institute, which shows that the
output of ingvcs in October was at the rate of
al per cent of capacity. This is a gain of 10
per cent over September"
This refers to the steel industry at large.
The Tennessee company has not gone below
SO per cent of production this year and is now
operating 55 per cent of its ingot producers,
five of the nine open hearth furnaces having
been going steadily.
A feature of the comparative figures is that
the lowest production of the Tennessee COM
pany this year is IL per cent better than the
present average following the improvement
beginning in September.
Our ability to operate at so per cent of ca
pacity when steel mills in other sections were
at 20 and 80 per cent is due to Birmingham's
place in the foreign trade. One of the items
that kept Birmingham mills going at so per
cent during the depression consisted of 120,-
900 tons of plates, rails and other steel prod
ucts exported to Japan, China and other coun-
tries.

ALLGUOD SAYS FARMER is IN
BETTER CONDITION

Farmers, who saw cotton reach higher prices
following the small production of 1920, might
ponder this statement from Commissioner of
Agriculture Allgood, who says:
Remember that it was six and half mil
lion bale forecast that caused prices to react
this year. Doubtless every farmer in the south
would have been glad if he could have doubled
his yield of cotton this year. In that instance
we would have had another thirteen million
bale crop and would have been confronted with
conditions as bad or worse, as in 1920.
Gas it is, with the ample production of corn,
extra crops of sweet potatoes, soy beans, pea
nuts, velvet beans, syrup and hay and with as
much cotton as we produced in 1920 but grown
on much cheaper basis, we are generally
speaking, in 100 per cent better condition
than in 1920"
If acreage control and crop diversification
were good in 1921, they are good for 1922.
With orderly marketing added the scheme of
safe farming will be complete.

DISARMAMENT CONFERENC E
SKATERS PRECEDENT

The progress already made by the confer.
ence to limit ornaments is as remarkable as
it is gratifying. One week ago no one, but
Washington officials who knew what was com.
ing, would have believed that the delegates
would have before them on the first day con-
crete proposals which permit of little opportu.
nifty for quibbling or equivocation. Instead Of
weeks of generalities, the American programme
has been put squarely before the conference
and it has been accepted Sin principle" by
Great Britain and Japan.
Nevertheless, we should not be misled by that
diplomatic phrase, Sin principle" A great
deal may be said and done before a building
agreement is reached, but a great stride has
been made toward disarmament That much is
apparent. Either by plain American straight
8orwardness or the cleverest kind of diplomacy
Secretary Hughes has placed the foreign rep
resentatives in position where they must
make good their professed desire to meet
America half way or do tremendous amount
of explaining
In the present temper of world sentiment,
neither Great Britain nor Japan can well af-
ford to do otherwise than acknowledge that
America has submitted proposals which alb.

RECESSIONAL

BY Rudyard Kipling.
God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far-flung battle line
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of hosts, be with US yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
The tumult and the shouting dies
The captains and the kings depart;
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and contrite heart.
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
Far called, our navies melt away
On dune and headland sinks the fire
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Ninevah and Tyre!
Judge of the nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forgetl
If drunk with sight of power we loose
Wild tongues that have not thee in awe
Such Boosting as the Gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the law
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-zlest we forget!
For heather heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard,
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And, guarding, calls not thee to guard
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord! ~
Amen.

TOO MANY HOLIDAYS THAT
FEW CARE ABOUT

New York had two holidays last week. One
was Tuesday, election day; the other was Fri
day, Armistice Day. Speaking of the business
Interruptions caused in this country by holidays,
the journal Of Commerce observes:
This plague of holidays has reached an ex-
IRENE in some foreign countries, where the in
terruption to business has gone so far as to con-
stitute an actual menace to stability of trade
and commerce. 1t has of course, reached no
such proportions in the United States, but it
has gone far enough to constitute a real evil
and call for correction"
The Journal makes the suggestion that Leg
islative enactment substitute voluntary for the
compulsory suspension of financial and other
activities which are involved in the present
method of celebration.
Holidays which lie on the hearts of the peo.
pie and are real holidays voluntarily observed
by all are sound and should be retained There
are holidays which the average citizen knows
nothing of and cares less about until he sees
bank doors closed and his business interrupted,
Their observance should not be compulsory.

WASHINGTON, May 30.-Appoint-
ment of a board of three officers of
the army air service to investigate the
circumstances surrounding the acci.
dent in which five army men and two
civilians lost their lives when a bis

plane crashed to earth in a severe
storm near Morgantown. Maryland
Saturday evening, was announced To-Day
by Major NJ. F. Scanlon, commandani
at Boiling field.
Capt. w. c. Ocker. who was caught
in the storm himself while flying here
from Langley field, in an SE-5 single
scatter, is senior member of the board
The others are Lieutenant P. c. Wil-
kins, who was the first army officer tc
go to the scene of the crash and take
charge of the bodies, and Lieutenant
Leroy Wolfe.
They will endeavor ITO determine
among other things, whether the crash
was the result of any defect in de-
sign or equipment of the airplane or 81
any mistake of management on tho
J part of the pilot, Lieut.. S. NJ. Ames
and whether the five army mon met
death in line of duty.
Flying officers stationed in the city
and at Boiling field, asserted emphati-
cally today their belief that Lieutenant
Ames had not "lost his head" in the
storm and therefore had been in a
measure at least responsible for the
accident. He was ,one of the best and
coolest pilots in the service and waz
familiar with the big Curtiss plane.
they declared. They were also in
clined to discredit reports that the
wrecked machine was defective in de-
sign. Major Scanlon declared that he
had piloted a similar plane, without
the ambulance equipment to New
York with eight passengers recently
and found it satisfactory in every way.
The board of investigation visited
the scene of the wreck today and took
the testimony of persons who were
nearby when the eagle crashed. They
made a careful study Of the wreckage
and afterward had it burned as it was
considered unsanitary. No part of the
plane was salvaged, officers said, add
ing that army aviators would not fly
in a plane carrying any equipment
taken from the wrecked machine, any
way.
1t seemed probable that the details
of the accident would never be known
as every man in the plane was killed.
An examination of the personal effects
of the victims showed that six of the
seven watches had stopped at 6:20
p. M, fixing the exact time Of the
crash, it was believed beyond dispute,
The seventh watch stopped at 6:25.
The board was expected TO finish its
inquiry tonight and report to Major
Scanlon tomorrow. A number Of pho
tographs were taken of the wrecked
machine. >..-.

known today, had a narrow escape in

STATE AUDITOR
NOT ABOLISHED
Bill Placing His Duties on the
Comptroller Held Up
By Senate.
(By JOHN c. TRIcE)

TALLAHASSEE, May 30.-Senator
Russelrs resolution abolishing the
state auditor and placing his duties or
the comptroller, a bill said to be great
ly desired by the governor as part OF
his 'back to the constitution" program
which has been back before the SEN
ate for several days on concurrence in
the house amendment, is still in that
position tonight, after a debate that
lasted an hour beyond the usual time
for adjournment. The house amended
the bill to provide for an audit once a
year instead of every two months, and
increased the appropriation from $15,-
900 to $4,000, and asked the senate
concurrence. Parliamentary tactics
have held off this concurrence until
today, when it was held by Senator
Calkins and proved by quotations that
the matter of concurrence involved the
whole subject matter and any sort of
a motion on the merits of the bill
would be all right. 1t had been gen.
orally believed that all the senate
could do in an orderly manner would
be to concur or fail to concur and call
for a conference committee.
Senator Lindsay moved to table the
bill at the conclusion of long wrangle
over it, and in his speech openly
charged that great executive pressure
had been brought to bear both to pass
the bill in the house and to bring
about concurrence in the house amend
ment by the senate. His motion to
table lost IA to Is with three absen-
tees, and the bill is therefore right
where it was, except that senate
precedent has now been established
for any other kind Of motion that
may be desired, going into the merits
of the BILL
