time since he appeared here in an

MORE IRON CONSUMED
 THAN MARKETED

Even with the recent recovery of the mer- chant iron market Alabama blast furnaces are making more iron for conversion into steel in Alabama mills than merchant iron for sale as to the foundry trade. In other words, Alabama is consuming more pi giron in her steel mills than she is marketing
 With the blowing in of the Bessemer No. 2 stack of the Tennessee company on ingot moli iron there are eight furnaces making iron to be converted into steel and seven merchant iron for sale to the foundry trade. Going back to last July, there were four stacks making iron for steel and only one for the open market.
 In 1921 the industrial stability of the dis trict was maintained by the manufacture of steel products. The trade did not wish pig iron. Foundries were not working. Pig iron as such was a drug on the market. Had it not been for the manufacture of steel products at the Ensley and Fairfield mills the four furnaces on basic iron would not have operat- ed and the district would have been at low stage of industrial activity.
 The steel mill business that kept the district going emanated largely from abroad It was the 12,o00 tons of steel products going monthly to the Orient and other distant place sout of Mobile that maintained Ensley and Fairfield production. Fortunately this district is so situ- ated with reference to foreign trade that the , export business naturally comes here.
 The district is still more deRendent on the merchant iron market than it should be, but great strides have been made in the manufac- ture of finished steel products, and it is there that the greatest progress of the district lies.

BUTTON INDUSTRY AN IMPORTANT ONE

Citizens of the United States paid $100 ,O00.- 900 for the buttons which they used in 191o Statistics of this industry show to the extent to which the manufacture of small common necessities may reach.
 There are more than 500 button factories in the United States, with combined capital of $30,0o0 900 and yearly wage pay roll of $10,- 000,000. The production is 0,000 900 900 buttons a year and $4,O0o,OO0 worth are ex- ported.
 0ne-third of the buttons are made from the mussel of the Mississippi and other fresh water streams, principally from the Mississippi in the states of Illinois and Iowa. button is pri- marily necessity but it has evolved also into an ornament. Even mems clothes have buttons which are of no practical use, while women wear them by the dozen.
 It is an industry of importance that costs the people of the country S100 ,000, ,00O per annum or nearly $1 per capita.

WHY NOT WORK?

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Ex-Emperor Charles cannot pay the rent of his house in Madeira, and Hungarian 'le- gitimists" have raised fund of 2,000, 900 crowns to help him out. At the current rate of exchange, that is not quite S200.
 It is not sportsmanship to kick man when he is down. but it may be in order for some one to offer Charles the suggestion that he would do well to peel off his coat and get eo work, as some other blue -booded refugees have done Crowns tiaras and strawberry leaves are not credentials entitling the hold CT to become pensioner of the public Out of an era of turbulence one of the good by products has been the discovery that work is gentee-as genteel as it was "when Adam delved and Eve span.''
 From last years fiasco Charles should have learned that there is no vociferous desire to restore him to the throne.

DUBOIS JEANNE D'ARC"

From the April Delineator.
 Twenty years ago the French government decided to place a statue of Jeanne d'Arc m the plaza before the Cathedral of Rheims. Paul Dubois, one of the great sculptors of France, submitted model and was given the comms- sion. When the date approached for the petion of the work, the sculptor begged for time He had not idled but he was not satis- fled. Finally the day came when the French officials demanded the delivery of the statue. Dubois let them take the plaster model to the founrdy. The great statue was cast in bronze and unveiled before the gates of the cathedral.
 The world judged that replica of the Maid of Orleans as great work of art. The spirited horse, the youthful Jeanne calling to invisible forces of men, the spiritual quality and the in all parts of the world.
 But the great sculptor returned to his stu do and went to work. He alone was not sat isfied His statue had passed as a great work of art, but he knew its faults
 In all of his leisure hours Dubois worked for 20 years on the model of Jeanne dArc He was not rich man. but when he died he left behind him enough money to recast his finished work, and he asked the French gov ernment to melt down the first statue.
 Dubois was right. His first Jeanne d'Arc was splendid piece of work. His second was a masterpiece. friend chided him one day for the hardship of his elf-imposed task. Who ever heard of a man doing his work over again? Not men, yer eften,' replied Dubois, "but good mothers eves

RUSSIA STILL RETREATINC
 TOWARD CAPITALISM

It is hard to, reconcile Lenine's alleged sense of humor with the presumably serious an- nouncement that although soviet Russia has zone as far as she intends to go in her com promise with capitalism, it will be necessary to remove thousands of communists from inn portant positions and put efficient managers in their places This is another confession that Russia can't get along without the aid of the despised bourgeoisie who were at first treated like yermin.
 The situation in Russia is merely another ex- ample of history repeating itself. When the bourgeoisie were turned out and cast adrift, the bolsheviki undertook to show them how in- experienced nlen, whose sole qualification for their position was the fact that they were com munists, would make the factories run, put new life into industry and transform Russia almost overnight fro ma backyard country to model for all the world to admire. Common sailors were made officers in the navy and ig- norant upstairs were elevated to high rank in tho army, while men who had never held posi- tions of responsibility before in their lives were given important places in the government
 But the factories didn't produce, trains didn't run Coal mines and every branch of industry .deterorated at an alarming rate. It was even found necessary to call former officers of the Csar to help uphold the soviet military sys- item. among them General Brusiloff. The in- 'evitable reaction has come. Lenine has discov- sered that Russia needs brains, and they are none too plentiful among the bolsheviki. The .incompctents are giving way to men who can do the work required of them, regardless of the fact that they are bourgeoisie. The upheaval ,bcgan some time ago, and we are just now wit messing a new phase of it, much to the disgust .of the communists who are losing their sine cures.
 One of the stock arguments against social ism and its various notifications is that if all ,thc property in the world were equally divided it wouldn't be long before the people who are .fich now would be rich again. This is what is happening in Russia. The bourgeoise who were for while the under dogs' are getting to the top again because no political system .has ever been discovered, and none ever wi .be discovered, which can take the place of deficiency, intelligence and work.

ADVERTISING CREATES BUSINESS.

"It has often been said that advertising creates busness,' said Harry Winfield, of Hood & Wheeler Furniture company, "but this fact was impressed upon me by one of our customers last week.
 Tt seems that this lady had seen ad- vertisement of ours in The Age-Herald featur ing certain living room suite at special price. She came down and saw the suite and bought 1t. She then decided that the wall paper in the room where the suite was to be used was not in accord with the new suite, so it was decided to paper the room
 "Then it was decided that the whole house might as well be papered while the paper hangers were about. This lead to some pairing of plastering and some repainting. After the wall paper was rug needed to go with the new furniture. Then the man of the house decided that before the wife should bankrupt him in renovating the house, he had better have the painted
 Thus we see what a train of buying was started by advertising in The Age-Herad'

SPANKING WITH EACH BATH

From the Minneapolis Journal.
 "0ur cedar boughs guaranteed imported from Boy River, Minn."
 Such might have been the advertisement that drew 1,183 bathers last year to the Finnish baths at Wells Memorial house, the only quar- anteed Finnish baths in Minneapolis.
 Though Finland, like Minnesota, is land of lakes and forest, the true Finlander when he bathes goes at it with all the artifices and technique one might expect of person born and reared in the sub-basement of sky scraper.
 It's a good bath to take Miss Margaret Chapman, head resident of Wells Memorial house, said the other day. Confirmed Finnish bathers, she explained, beat themselves vigor. ously about the body with fresh cedar bougbs which have been steamed. Only cedar boughs will do.
 A Finn doesn't feel clean until soundly spanked from head to foot, she explained. To Films goes the outstanding credit for solving the bathing enigma of how to wash the human back and make it feel washed.
 The baths are open to men twice week and to women once week. The Fnlanders as- sert their native mode of bathing is responsible for their splendid physique and healthy fam flies. "We would rather pay for baths than doctor bills," one Finlander commented. Rheu- matism is practically unknown among the Fin landers because of their attention to bathing and exercise, Miss Chapman said.

 Bryan sec A Joke e sselg capacitg save that as ( comedian of the @ssns tauqua circuit 9o tAe platform he s maa netic, but in cold print he is metely anasins With his wonderful voice and his never-eHdina flow of words, and more words, and more words, he can hypnotize almost any audience on any subject from grapejuice to free s,l- ver'' and the double standard in money. As quoted for publication his dramatic rhetoric becomes transparent folly. His latest in type. exposes him in the new role of Prussian of the pre-war variety. He says:
 "I am strongly in fayor of the treaty (the four-power league of the Pacific)-that is, I. favor the principles of it. But I would re gard it as grave mistake for the United States to raitfy the treaty without reserva-l tion giving this country the right to act inde-f pendently in the event of trouble"
 This is going Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollweg one better. The Prussians signed the treaty guaranteeing the neutrality of Bel gium, and when about to violate it declared that. it was only scrap of paper. The naive Bryan would announce that the Pacific treaty is only scrap of paper before signing it. The bolshevsts did that, but the United States doesn't want to take its ethics from bolshevism
 To sign treaty with the reservation that we have the right to please ourselves whenever there is call for the application of the treaty is not dipomatic--it is merely Bryan comedy.

SOLDIERS ORDERED HOME
 FROM THE RHINE

Washington dispatch says President Hard ing has ordered the withdrawal of all American troops in the occupied territory along the Rhine This order might have been issued sooner with out meeting with any objection from the Amer ican people who have been wondering why our soldiers were kept in Europe, even after sepa- rate peace with Germany had been ratified
 Perhaps the attitude of the allies toward the American claim of $241, ,O00 900 for the ex- penses incurred in occupying German territory was one of the factors which led President Harding to call our troops home, but the de- mand for their return has been loud and insis- tent, both in Congress and throughout the United States.
 No little resentment has been aroused by the cool reception given the claim of the American government because it isn't believed in America that we had anything to gain by keeping our soldisrs ia Germany. On the contrary, they might ne. bay been sent to the Rhine at all had it not been for the urgent pleas of the allies.
 Noiihah shoPhcSPels anu lHe uose tS4H themselves will be saddened by the withdrawal of the American forces. The "doughboys" have had the time of their lives and the shop keepers have prospered exceedingly, but there is quite general conviction in this country that the holiday has lasted long enough.
