For Good of

A BOUT this time in 1919 one of the N largest iron producers in the dis trict temporarily shut up shop on account of the listless state of the iron market. A pig iron production of 180, 900 tons in Jan in May.
 That did not last long Production commenced to climb after the low point in May was reached and soon was more than 100000 tons per month
 The February production of this year marked another low point 124, ,000 tons. Makers are not piling up iron. There will be precious little on hand when the trade l, ''barks' again. The first few buyers will exhaust the stocks and there will be rush for that which is to be made by the resum- ing furnaces That is the way it did in 1919 and that is the way it will do in 1921

 The district moves on maj ajestically. The basic does not move away. Report of the by-prOduct industry in the nation in 1920 shows that Alabama added 334 of the $50 new ovens fired in the country in that year and that her increase in the production of by-product coke over the preceding year was 40 per cent. Her increase was from 2,23O,000 to 3,O75,000 tons. Youngest among the big medal states to begin by product manufacture this state now stands fourth with none ahead of her but Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana.
 Wise captains of industry in Alabama have not rested on contiguity of raw ma- terial. Alabama iron and steel products must go afar because there is not enough of home consumption in vicinage that is largely agricultural. To travel afar they must overcome disadvantages of freight rates. They must be manufactured at low cost in order to attain the distant fields. The lower costs must come about through the installation of processes re- quiring vast outlays of capital These out lays must be recouped.
 It is not Birmingham that voted nearly $9;0O0000 on public improvement bonds this week, but it was her neighbor At lanta. This district feels the thrill just the same, because the money voted for waterworks extension means money for Birmingham pipe and other bonds mean money for other Birmingham materials.
 Building of homes is going on in Bir- mingham at rate that is fast assuming the most gratifying proportions Febru- ary home building permits were twice the average of 1919 and 1920. The daily record at the city hall is of permits for residences of modest cost The average man is finding nest for himself and his family. He is not waiting for the other fellows last nickel, but going ahead.

For a number of years Mrs. Mears
has been a leader in parent-teachers'
work, which, has now spread all over
the country. Almost every city has
its parent-teachers' organizations,
which help settle school problems.
and many of the strongest of these
are affiliated with the national or

It is her intention to return to the

He paid b fine and asked to be re-

he was in no condition to leave the

farmer insisted that he was all right
and was released with the warning
ringing in his ears that il he met an
other patrolman he would be picked
up again, as he couldn't walk. He
had hardly succeeded in getting more
than a block from the station when
he was picked up by another officer
who was not acquainted with the stu

records show that it took. until the
next morning to get the man in such
condition that he could handle his

nights of the year and no doubt the
boy would have frozen in a few hours
had he not been taken into custody.

When Silky the Monkey looked
around to see a very familiar fellow
coming toward him. he was surprised
to think that Mrs. Robin would even
suggest that such q. creature as this
could offer any information about the
funny things in the forest. "why,
this common fellow with an old dirty
coat on couldn't tell me anything"
he said in disgust.
"Chirp, chirp, You ask him and

can tell everyone in the forest every

familiar forest dweller to make sure
that it was h m Mrs. Robin was

Sure enough Mr.. Sparrow did have
a right to speak and Tinker Bob
knew It for he told the truth about
staying in the forest the car around,
but even if he did have "a right to
speak there was no reason for being
SO bold about it. "Chirp, Chirp, now

This little conversation is typical of
the days when the saloons of East

gether different since the plague
struck the country" said the judge.
In the past the patroimen have picked
up men on the streets In a terrible
state of drunkenness. They were un-
able to help themselves in any man
ner, but after a few hours sleep and
a drink of water they became abso-
lutely sober. according to the judge.
Any casual observer can notice the
difference in the present day DRINKS.
According to the judge. the men are
brought in in more or less of a
stupor and confined to a cell to

their appearance in h court room is
imperative, they are still gFogged
