the Swiss consul-general to Canada.
 The queer name of the gentleman who will be the recipient of this wonderful 40-pound cake, is Dr. C.. P. Huebscher and 1t was ordered for him by his father-in-law, MT. w. Kelsey Schoeff of Cincinnati, from Miss Bessie Davis, who has made Christmas cakes for ex- President Woodrow Wilson, Presi- dent Harding and all sorts of mo- tables-while brides galore have been radiant over the gorgeously beautiful wedding cakes she has made for them.
 The Swiss consul-general will adore, no doubt, the idea that Miss Bessie Davis had carried out in making his Christmas cake.
 It is fashioned on the lines of a little cabin with chimney stack; Santa Claus round, and chubby, is ready to start down the chimney, while the interior of the little old log cabin, typically southern, shows the dying embers in the fire place the little Christmas stockings of the children,

 It is really a charming device and will make Birmingham known far and wide-through the talented |, x1< M,.- naxvs- ,L1 <I< | the Christmas cake.
 Hurrah for Birmingham-M Miss Bessie Davis, Birmingham's very own-and likewise for the good taste of the Swiss consul-general, Christmasing up in Montreal and a merry Christmas to both.

 The Schools and the Christmas Seal Sale.
 Nothing could possibly be more l fitting and appropriate than the statement sent out by Dr. John w. Abercrombie, state superintendent of education, early in December, asking that this week--the week preceding Christmas-should be set aside for the public schools as Tuberculosis Week."
 This was done in order to enable the children to sell the Christmas Seals for the benefit of this cause

(nRAY you sirs, both more or
 less A Sing these Carols to Christe-nnass

ChriSte-maSs.
 This was the polite invitation of one John Awdley, in the year of oh, way back wonder 1426!
 The man was blind and deaf-and the warden of Haughmond Abbey and it was this habit of song by "both more and less" that has re tained the old tradition of Christ mas Caroling in England-whlch only of late years, however, has be- come popular again-especially m these United States of America.
 Listen friends O mine;
 Do we not hear just outside our chamber windows an itinerant choir caroling, as did Washington Irving on that Christmas morning when he was at Braceridge hall?
 And thro' the night were there not voices either blended with, or a part of cur dreams which sang the news of our Saviour Born?
 The sounds now are fading far ther and farther away-as we catch the lines of that noble Ode on the Morning of Christs Nativity" ot Milton's which conveys the mes- sage:
 "But peaceful was the night Wherein the Prince of Light
 His reign of peace upon the earth
 began.
 The winds, with wonder whist, Smoothly the waters kist,
 Whispering new joys to the mild
 ocean
 Who now hath quite forgot to rave, While birds of calm sit breeding on
 the charmed wave"
 Ten years ago outdoor Christmas Caroling by little itinerant groups through the streets and villages was almost unknown in this country.
 The beautiful old custom which had been universal in England had almost died.
 Then the Community Christmas tree was inaugurated and through this idea Christmas caroling was again brought into popularity.
 Yet =
 The singing of the charming old Yuletide songs for the public bene- fit was all too infrequent and the general absence of the Waits - the travelling bands of carolers in their picturesque costumes were SC infrequent and yet so lovely that people at once desired more of this delightful Christmas spirit infused into their celebration.
 Here in Birmingham-one of the most accomplished and popular of the musicians of this city-Miss Sara Mallam-took charge of the Christmas Carols several seasons ago.
 At first there was just littls group which surrounded her, but each Christmas the interest has grown, each Christmas the inspirs tion of Christmas carols has becom, more insistent and this Christina: brings to us most delightful an. ticipation of the old tradition ot Christmas caroling which Miss Nal lam will again preside over.
 Where there is lighted candle shining from the window ledge indicating cordial welcome to the Christmas carolers, Miss Mallam and her band of singers will stor and sing of "the glad tidings of good things

According to an authoritative British
source world import needs for wheat are
about S56,00o.oo0 bushels. whereas ex-
porting countries have available for
shipment 77s.0o0,00o bushels. An
nouncement OF these figures. together
with a sudden increase OF $4,000
bushels in the United States visible
supply total and talk of slownees Of ex-
port demand were chiefly responsible
for turning many commission house
traders to the selling side of the wheat
market. This more than overcame an
advance which had taken place soon af-
ter the opening, and which had been
based in measure on supposed indica-
tons of smaller receipts.
Preparations said to be under way
for big new domestic winter crop acre

that had fallen over a large section of
the winter wheat territory were ex-
pected to facilitate completion Of fall
blowing and seeding. Part OF the sell

tween Chicago and Winnipeg.
Corn and oats paralleled the action OF
wheat Reports of frost in Iowa and
elsewhere lifted prices little, but the
effect was only transient.
Provisions lacked support except for

PRES. HARDING CAPTAIN
OUfZZED ON ACCIDENT
u. S. Board Seeks Responsible
ity for Grounded Ship.

An investigation was started yester-
day by the United States Lines into the
conduct of Capt. Paul Grenning, mas
ter of the President Harding. which
went ashore at the mouth of the River
Wiser on her last trip to Bremerhaven.
w. Z. Griffith, manager of operations
for the Shipping Board. came up from
Washington to attend the examination
of Capt. Grenning. the result of which
was not made public.
The President Harding grounded in
soft mud and was floated at the next
flood tide. An inspection by the Amer
lean Bureau of Shipping on the other
side failed TO show any damage, but
the ship was placed In dry dock yester-
day at the Robins plant OF the Todd
Shipyards Corporation. a precautionary
measure directed by T. H. Rossbottom,
general manager of the United States
Lines. The investigation is to deter.
mine the responsibility.

STEEL INGOT OUTPUT
LOWER DURING AUGUST
Strikes Caused Reduction
From July Figures.

Production OF steel ingots by thirty
OF the leading producers during August
aggregated 2.214.5s2 tons. a decrease Of
272,522 tons from the total produced
in the preceding month. according 10 the
American Iron and Steel Institute.
August output was almost double that
of the corresponding month of 1921, when
1.13s,071 tons were produced.
The output OF steel lngots during last
August was at the annual rate Of 30,371,-
900 tons for the entire country. This
is equal 10 5s.7 per cent. OF capacity.
compared with So per cent. in July. 6s.s
per cent. in June. 70.s per cent. in May.
$50 per cent. in April and ga per
cent. In March.
The slowing up in production was due
70 the coal and rail strikes. The decline
in pig iron output-approximat "a
per cent--was not as great es that In
steel ingots.
InEot production OF thirty of the lead
ing producers for the eight months

Raw SILK Prices Firm.

The Yokohama raw silk market opened
the week quiet but firm. according 10
cables received BY prominent importer.
Buyers appeared to be following the
market rather closely. but manifested
no inclination to commit themselves be-
yond their immediate needs. In the local
market. conditions were unchanged.
Prices held firm In sympathy with the
Japanese or primary market. but the
sustained strength Of quotations has not
caused manufacturers to buy more than
their exact requirements. Local import
ers and dealers are Of the opinion that
the time Is rapidly approaching when
manufacturers will be compelled to re-
plenish their stocks OF raw silk in a more
liberal fashion. The continued improve
ment in broad silks. the importers de-
clared. soon will begin to be reflected in
a better demand for the raw fiber.

Hide Market Firm.

The hide and skin markets continue to
exhibit strength. though locally there is
not much activity Buyers in this mar
ket do not appear to be taking any keen
interest In proceedings, despite the rising
tendency of prices. Sellers are firm in
their demands, and their belief that
values will go still higher is strength
ened by the fact that stocks of choice
descriptions of hides are small. Trad
ing In the River Plate market has broad
ened In the last few days, and prices
have climbed to new high ground, &C
cording to reports reaching the local
market. American buyers are said TO
have been active participants in the
trading there, while Europeans bought
only lightly. Sustained activity is noted
in the Chicago market. and prices have
stiffened materially. Calfskins are said
to be enjoying an improved demand in
the local market.
