IRON WORKS STARTS. FIVE FURNACES FOR. FIRST TIME IN YEARS.
Four Stacks Are on Foundry and Other on Basic For Mid- dle Western Steel
 makers

Owing to the extremely large tom mage of iron orders on books the Woodward Iron company is now op- erating all five of its blast furnaces for the first time In several years.
 The only idle one, one at Wood ward, is making its first run of pig iron after having been blown in. Four of the stacks are on foundry iron and a fifth is producing basic iren, which, it Is understood, is for delivery to middle western steel makers.
 Production of this month ought to be largest of the year with these five stacks active and that of the 550-ton stack of the Tennessee com pany. Blowing out of the Bessemer stack that was on erre-manganese is of no significance in the iron trade because the ferro- manganese Is pure ly for Tennessee company purposes in it's steel mills and is not sold in the trade.
 No other maker would admit fol- lowing the lead of the Central Iron and Coal company in reducing to a s25 base, out indicated a rather pro- nounced attitude against doing so. Two makers quoted iron at $27.50. winch compares with recent high of s2S.50. Small lots are sold at those figures.
 Not Lining Up
 Makers not lining up with the Gen. tral Coal and Iron company point to two things; first, that 1t Is a one-stack concern and, therefore, has a limited tonnage to offer, and to the further fact that. as is under stood, little business was booked even at the Central's new base They take the small business done at s25 as indicative of determination by consumers to do little buying until the middle of December.
 Consumers have lots of iron coming to them and furnace companies on an average are booked near to ca pacity of present operations for re- mainder of tho year.
 Want the Iron
 On the other hand, consumers in competitive territory are taking every ton of iron ordered in the past two months whether 1t has been out lawed by delay or not. The con- sumers seem to want the iron.
 Deliveries Into the middle west of Birmingham iron are reported as much improved.
 One Birmingham maker reports re- auctions of stock on yard by 2.000 to 5000 tons In October. The com pany was enabled to do this by leas- ing cars for delivery of iron to pipe shops and other consumers in nearby territory.

 Dr. Bowling reiterated that tho realth department is helpless to cope with the situation in the absence of mosquito control This control. he said, can be accomplished only by proper drainage.

 Dr. Bowling said that the presence of malaria fever was neither alarm ing nor unusual. A survey Is being conducted. he said, similar to the ono conducted for dengue fever, and the cases reported are not all current.

Dr. Bowling said.
 "Dengue is now practically gone for the year." said Dr. Bowling. "The weather here. however,-is so moder- ate that some mosquitoes can live through the winter, and next summer will find them active, and scattered over wider area than they were this year.
 We did not have a single case of dengue reported before October this year. Had the epidemic occurred earlier, there is no telling what

Optimism and confidence were everywhere ap- parent at yesterdays luncheon that the s350,oo0 objective would be reached.
 You have done remarkably we'll. pr. George H. Denny. president of the University told the alumni workers at the luncheon Wednesday The University Is proud of you and grateful for what you have done.

 Alumni Generous

 Of the 600 alumni living in Bir. mingham more than 60 per cent have already made subscriptions in re. sponse to the call of their alms mater and the average amount hai exceeded $305. Many of the others who have not joined in the move ment, live in the outskirts of the cit, and have not been seen by the team workers. In view of the fact tha the alumni who have been inter viewed have subscribed almost with out exception, 1t Is believed tha many of the others are willing t, do their part. The teams expect t, present the universitys appeal tt every alumnus before the campaign ends, and Jelks Cabaniss, city chair man, urged those who have not sub scribed to assist In completing Bir mingham's campaign, by calling a headquarters in the Tutwiler hote and leaving their subscriptions.

 Dr. Tralle's topic was. Secrets of Leadership" In his outline of the six fundamentals of leadership he said: "A leader must have moral character that inspires confidence in those he comes in daily contact with. Without this moral character he cannot hope to become leader and a moral character cannot be had without religious trainIng and con victions. A leader must have complete working Knowledge of his subjects and his work. For in- stance, a Sunday school teacher should not unscrew his head and leave it at home on Sunday.
 "I have had Sunday school teach CTS to come to me and say, pr. Tralle, if my pupils would behave and give their attention. I could teach them something I told them If they would teach the children something they would behave and give their attention. The Sunday school teacher or any other leader should read good book relative to their work at least once each week
