Thumbs Down,

In the gladiatoFial combats which
took place in ancient Rome wounded
man would sometimes call for mercy
by holding up his forelinger. The spec

their handkerehiefs IN token of mercy,
or condemn him to death by holding
out their clenched fist with the thumbs
down.

STEEL AS A BAROMETER OF
 INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS

The status of the steel industry now, at the low point of last July and at the close of 1921 is aptly summed up in the Wall Street Jour- ness. The Journal says:
 "The Steel corporations subsidiaries are now operating at an average of 60 per cent compared with 40 per cent at the close of 1921 and IS per cent last July"
 Steel corporation operations are a faif barometer of general industrial conditions Recovery of other steel operators has been about on the same line. The encouraging feature of the present status is that it is cumu- lative and shows signs of seasonal activity liable to recede as soon as few pressing needs are satisfied.
 The country is the more inclined to accept an impression of lasting recovery in steel because there has been recovery elsewhere. One does not have to leave Birmingham district to glimpse this.
 Birmingham building operations for the first two months of the year show hundred per cent increase in valuations.
 Birmingham bank clearings of February ran almost $2,500,o00 ahead of those of the pre- ceding year and January and February clear ings ran more than $10,000,o00 ahead of the year before, while the clearings for the past three months are more than $17,000,000 in excess of the preceding year.
 Cement makers confidently forecast de- mand for cement in the south taxing, if not overtaxing, southern mill capacity. Coal has railroad traffic. Our leading steel interest is at full turn on production of steel. Structural steel had splendid February booking. The grains and cotton are higher. The farmer ia financed.

HELP RETURN OF PROSPERITY
 BY PAYING YOUR BILLS

stPay Up Week. begins tomorrow. It will be another, kind of drive but it is designed to hasten the return of normal conditions, not to put an additional strain on the nations pure. A good rating in the "Blue Book" of the Merchants Credit association is better than riches. It is a mark of character and depends- bility. A man may be as poor as the prover- ba church mouse and still stand well with the credit men because they have an accurate way of knowing how he meets, or tries to meet, his obligations. The credit men of Brming- ham and other cities believe in a square deal. They fight the swindler with all the power at their command, and the people who can pay but won't paySSsthrough carelessness or indif- ference, areAjudged accordingly in the "Blue Book,' but they are willing to help the man who is doing his best. Some people have an idea that credit associations are something to be feared. On tn contrary they friends to the honest man and woman.
 Prompt payment of bills means more money in circulation, more employment for the idle and more prosperity for everybody. It is an endless chain. The customer who pays the merchant enables the merchant to pay his em- ployes and to pay his rent, taxes and other expenses and buy more goods. The man who has the money to settle his accounts and puts the matter off for months may resent the im- putation that he is dishonest. Perhaps he is not dishonest. He intends to pay some time, but he shows himself inconsiderate of others and She is hurting his own credit million aire whoS doesn't pay his bills promptly has no betterj rstin.glin the "Blue Book" than John Smith, who .isew9rking for a small salary and gets behind assS Kin l. shs accounts. Character in BirminghamF and everywhere else is based on willingness tospay debts. But the merchants from whom you buy goods are entitled to ask that you show your willingness to meet your obligations.
 Turn over new leaf this week, if you have in the past permitted your bills to accumulate. Improve your standing if it needs improvement and get the credit of paying your bills promptly. It may mean only few dollars to you, but it will mean many thousands to mer- chants if everybody who owes them pays ac- counts that are past due.

LARGE EXPOSITION HALL c@A CRYING NEED

Birmingham needs exposition space. Time and again thisahas been regretfully realized when conventions desirous of coming here have been prevented from doing so because Birminghami has mo convention hall.
 Southern hardware dealers wanted to hold exhibitions of their products here and makers of mill and smining machinery have sought to hold conventions in Birmingham. There are many of these opportunities which the city is not able to embrace. We lose the prestige which attaches to city where great conven- tions are held.
 Birmingham is the most advantageously situated city in the south for expositions and conventions on account of its transportation situation, both freight and passenger. l. The Housewives exposition of this week was made possible only by generous firm of pioneer merchants giving over their ground floor and their business for week. There is not public hall in the city where any kind of exhibition Sworthy of the name could be held. A scattered few of the Birmingham ,nanufacturefssshowed their products It was a suceessfulsaffair and an eye opener to what Birmingham produces, but what about the bigger exhibitions which the success of this one demands?
 The proposed auditorium should be built
